I'm sorry guys, I'm clearly mixed up here. The NVC has the case, we've submitted all the documents (proof of relationship, I-864, etc) and paid all the fees. The NVC said they will work with the embassy to schedule an interview. I spoke wrong when I said they sent it to the embassy for an interview. And the message we sent was to the NVC, not USCIS. My apologies for all my confusion. So basically, we just continue to wait, right? The last response from the NVC was in March when they said they will work with the embassy to schedule an interview. So I'm wondering if anybody has a clue about what time frame we might be looking at?

My husband applied for a green card for my father-in-law. I-130 was approved, and the NVC says the case has been sent to the embassy in Haiti for an interview to be scheduled. It's been 4 months and we haven't heard anything. We submitted a request for an update on the USCIS website, but apparently they are just now responding to requests from May. My husband thinks we need to contact a lawyer to urge things along; I think that's a waste of money and everything is probably just backlogged (as usual). Does anybody know what the normal wait time is for Haiti these days? Or is there anything we can do?

I didn't mean to question your knowledge and I'm sorry if it came off that way. We were told early on in the process that he wouldn't need to be at the interview, so that's another reason I just wanted to be clear. We just booked his plane ticket so it's all fine. He'll be there with her.

So I have one vote for petitioner to go along, and one vote that he doesn't need to. Could somebody else also weigh in? Or how do I find out? We are on Maryland and the interview is on Miami, so it's a big deal for him to go along.

She's already in the US so we went straight to AOS.

I'm not sure what you mean by DQ, but we applied for her in June of 2021.

My mother-in-law has an interview scheduled for her 485 on August 17. Her son is the petitioner. Is he required to be at the interview? The notice states, "If the beneficiary on the I-130 visa petition is NOT your spouse, he or she should appear and must submit supporting documents of relationship." So her son is obviously not her spouse, but he's the petitioner and she's the beneficiary, so i dont know why it's worded this way. We've already submitted proof of relationship, documents pertaining to the 864, etc. Does she need to take copies of everything along with her?

Thank you so much. I was hoping Boiler or TBone would respond and agree. Sorry CrazyCat, not that I didn't trust you but I just like to hear from a few people. 😊 cheers.

Any opinions from others? Her husband is still in Haiti and is quite sick, and she would like to go visit him in August. Just want to make sure it's reasonably okay for her to go.

My husband applied for AOS for his mother in June 2021. She entered from Haiti with inspection and overstayed by 10 years. She finally got her EAD/AP combo card today. I-485 is still pending with no interview date scheduled yet. Do you think she would be safe to visit Haiti using AP? Or is it too risky because of her overstay? Would the possibility of a ten year reentry ban really be left up to the discretion of the CBP officer?
