Even if you were lucky to have a quick interview,  the visa is good for 6 months of the date of medical exam (assuming approval)

and you could finish this current semester for credits so this semester money would not be wasted

Probably something you should get clarity on

Prior threads on this issue.... sigh

 

Education is important for the US jobs market. If you’re dropping out to save some money before completing a diploma/degree in the US, that makes sense. If it’s just going to make you a dropout, that doesn’t make sense to me.

No one can tell you when you will get an interview.  No one can tell you when you will get a visa.  The US Embassy advises not to make any life changes until you have the visa in hand.  It would be best if you followed their advice.  If you choose to ignore their advice, they will not help you if you end up with problems.

Tuition for school in the US is likely a lot more than it is in Haiti.  My advice is get as much education as you can in Haiti at the lower tuition rates, then transfer to a US school with your official transcript after you get your US immigrant visa, whenever that happens.  Good luck!

Should I quit my School because NVC approve all my documents ?  my case is actually at the US embassy in  Haiti
I'm 21 yol now 2020, we started around (2017)2017=18y> I'm now 21y 2020 , I'm probably under CSpA > ir2 visa

 

Should I quit my School because NVC approve all my documents ?
Because we want to save money, i don't know if my embassy will be open???

I'm waiting the interview date, I'm probably an immediate relative  IR 2 category.

how many day to wait ? month to wait ? 2021 ?

PLEASE update your timeline with where you are in the process. Don’t quit school you probably won’t have the interview until mid next year. Are you in secondary school or university? Things will be much easier in the US If you have your high school diploma. There is NO sign of Haiti opening and even if it was COVID safe in the country it’s still not safe For embassy Workers. Expect a long wait my friend.

All bets are off for 'averages,' because the world has changed significantly with COVID.

to automatically have U.S. citizenship, the child must be under the age of 18,
I was exactly 18 years old in 2017
March 22 - 1999, date of birth
March 22 - 2017 = 18 years

I was 18 when my lawyer started the process, same year, will I have American nationality.

I am not sure, since I do not know the exact date where I was approved by the uscis, and the date he handed over all the documents, or date of filling.

I hope, will I have American nationality?

Sorry, no. If you were not born a citizen, you need to have already entered the US on an immigrant visa/green card and be living in the physical and legal custody of your US citizen parent in the US before you turn 18, to acquire it automatically. Because you will enter after age 18, you will need to meet the requirements to naturalize on your own.
