  1. Thanks for confirming the physical presence requirement for the re-entry permit. So why are you contemplating paying some lawyer over $3K to fill out and submit the I-90 on your behalf when you can equally do so on your own? The processing is exactly the same whether you fill out the form on your own or some lawyer fills and submit on your behalf.
  2. Wait. Your apply applied for your re-entry permit while you were outside the US? Or you were in the US, but used the services of a lawyer to submit the application? If the application was submitted on your behalf while you were outside the US, I wouldn’t bank on it being approved. Unless there’s a recent change for the requirements to be in the US while filing for a reentry permit which I’m not aware of.
  3. INA 214(b) denial means you: Did not sufficiently demonstrate to the consular officer that you qualify for the nonimmigrant visa category you applied for; and/or Did not overcome the presumption of immigrant intent, required by law, by sufficiently demonstrating that you have strong ties to your home country that will compel you to leave the United States at the end of your temporary stay. (H-1B and L visa applicants, along with their spouse and any minor children, are excluded from this requirement.) So modifying or changing the purpose of your visit, or applying with your parents will not overcome the denial. The CO does not need to request or review any additional documents in order to arrive at the conclusion(s) leading to the denial. The information on your DS160 form and the answers to the questions you were asked at the interview were enough for them to arrive at a presumed immigrant intent.
  4. Why was your first application denied? That is what you need to address, and not necessarily the reason for applying/reapplying.
  5. Your son should know. Ask him to check his visa and all the other paperwork related to the J1 visa.
  6. Does the J1 include a 2 year home residency requirement? If your son’s J1 has a 2YHRR, then yes that will impact his GC approval unless he already has a waiver. So if there’s 2YHRR involved and he has not yet fulfilled that or already has a waiver for it, he needs to start working on obtaining the waiver. If 2YHRR involved, a history of a J1 visa will not impact the GC interview approval.
  7. NVC has nothing to do with DV process. Check your in-box.
  8. VJ is not the holy grail of all things immigration, so what’s wrong with directing someone to another forum that specializes on the issue they’re trying to address without some getting all twisted and bent? I equally refer folks from this other forum to VJ when it comes to marriage or fiancé based visa questions because I consider those areas to be one of VJ’s strong areas. I believe in guiding folks to where they can best be helped, it really is as simple as that!
  9. OP - check your inbox. I sent you a link to another immigration forum with a dedicated and active TN sub forum where you can get useful guidance and resources from other folks who are TN visa focused, as against general responses from folks with limited or no understanding of TN visas as they’re navigating other forms of immigration.
  10. Well, it’s hard for me to comment on the case without seeing the actual post. However, what is happening around DV2023 cases is a lot more than being clueless.
  11. Well if you can link to the “one” you’re referencing, we can see the context in which it was sorted out, considering the issue here is not about being “clueless”. Like I noted earlier, the US embassy in Ghana, and a couple of other countries, have considerably limited the number of DV cases they’ve allowed to be scheduled for interview. Oh, they’re also the case of visa exhaustion being contended with this year, I wouldn’t bother going into details about that on this thread. Right now, we know for a fact KCC is currently working on DV2024 cases, interview notification letters are already going out to those folks as a matter of fact
  12. Of course DV cases go up on till the last day - there are cases currently scheduled until Sept. 30th, the interview notification for those cases have already been sent out by the KCC. The embassies do not directly schedule DV cases, KCC schedules those (based on the number of available slots provided to them by the embassies prior to the interview being scheduled), and sends out the interview notification letters
  13. September 2023 is the last month for DV2023 interviews. If your sister has not yet received her IL by now, the DV2023 journey is basically over for her, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The US embassy in Ghana largely limited the number of cases invited for DV interview, so that (in addition to waiting until September to submit the DS260 form) has effectively impacted your sister’s selection. p.s. document submission to KCC prior to the interview being scheduled is no longer required.
  14. Do enlighten me as to the Canadians with the B2 visa requirement exception.
