Hi there,

My husband and I received notice of action 2 a week ago.
However, it looks pretty different from what the people usually get.

From my understanding, I thought after receiving NOA2, NVC will be mailing you or emailing you about next step.
Our application stated that I (beneficiary) need to submit either I-485 or I-824. I have attached our notice we received. Can someone please help me what I should do next?

Thank you in advance!

I can't make heads or tails or Visa Bulletin with U.S. Government or Visa Processing times page at this site: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/visa-bulletin-predictions-family-sponsored.php

My brother in law is FB4. At Visa Journey their Jan 2022 column reads 2007-03-22. Does that mean in January of 2022 these visas being processed were from 2007 year applications?

Hi all,

My petition expires at the end of the month but there are currently no slots for me to schedule my interview at the embassy. I keep checking regularly though. How is the petition validated when after it expires? Does the embassy renew it automatically, do they need to be contacted or do I need to bring a letter?

Has anybody been in a similar situation where they have had their visa interview after their petition has expired and if so how long after the expiry date was it? I am anxious and worried about it as there was a delay in receiving my police certificate.

Hope you can help!

Hello,

My fianc and I are getting close to scheduling an interview at the Helsinki embassy. He is nervous for the interview, he's afraid if he takes a moment to think about a question they will see that as suspicious. He has a language processing disorder and sometimes takes a moment to think/ tell his answer. I told him the questions should be easy enough, as they are all about ourselves, family and our relationship, but he's also afraid they will throw a question he wont know the answer for.

Is the interview relatively easy? I have confidence he can do it, but he seems nervous that he will fail.

We also have a co-sponsor since I am a student graduating soon, hopefully that's ok for Helsinki.

Beneficiary spent exactly 181.4 days down to the hour according to flight records in another country, which included the month of February. Who here thinks this is 6 months, legally? Clearly, half of 365 days is 182.5. But 30 days x 6 month is 180. It matters as to necessity of getting police certificate.
