I can see my status as case approved and shows closed. Will it change status after this ? 
i am seeing this case says closed so not hoping any status changes but looking at your comment seems it might

let me know if it was same for you too before

Mine also says closed but that’s because it’s moved to NVC. If it’s been approved, you’ll be notified once it’s gone to NVC.

The review will be quick, but it’s waiting your turn in line for that review that takes the time. Unless things speed up (most people expect the opposite to happen with the new administration) then it

Definitely, start gathering the docs listed now so that they can be DQ’ed as quickly as possible. I know they’ll have a long wait for an interview but get them in line for it asap (and hopefully by then the ban will have been lifted too). 
 

Good luck.

I think you should.  I think the police certificates are good up to 2 years.

Any new updates yet? 
 

I finally managed to complete affidavit and my mum completed the DS-260. Now we wait…again!

 

No updates from us.  We paid the fee, but haven't worked on the I-864 or DS-260.

 

I was waiting to complete my 2025 taxes (maybe this weekend) and then it looks our parents won't receive their police certificates until March.

I didn’t even think to do this! We haven’t filed yet but I uploaded last 3 years (just in case) I did attach my new W2 and last years. 
 

my mum applied for hers and it came sooner than the date they suggested. Fingers crossed it does for you!
