US Immigration from Colombia

Hi, my wife and I already submitted all the required documentation to the NVC, it's been 2 months since we sent the documents, should I send a message asking for an update or should I wait? What are the NVC waiting times?

(CR1 visa, We are both from Colombia)

we filed our adjustment of status on march 2021. we received your case is ready for interview as of December 2021. so far its September and no interview letter received. any march 2021 filers received interview? i guess we must keep waiting until uscis gets their act together.

Hi everyone!

I couldn't find a Sept 2022 thread so I created this one, so we can follow each others journeys and don't feel alone in the process. We filed ours on september 3, receive the NOA1 the same day, and our case has being actively reviewed By USCIS since september 6.

So my husband and I filed for the i751 back in May 2021, has been pending ever since then. In may 2022 we filed for citizenship since we have been married and it made three years since he became a resident, now he is a truck driver in NJ but his job requires a hazmat endorsement, he can only obtain that when he becomes a citizen or a permanent resident. His job has now started to ask when is he getting his citizenship and I am concerned that he will get fired for not having his hazmat. Can I expedite it? I am pregnant with a high risk, and I can t afford having an unemployed husband, sure he can find a new job but I need his insurance.

Hi all, I am trying to help my wife's brother in law. He would like to have the opportunity to come to the united states and work here. He only wants to come the right way legally. He is 35 years old, has an established restaurant in Colombia right now but has lots of construction skills as he has built many farm houses and planting as a farmer. His cousin's husband is the owner a swimming pool business and they build new pools in Florida. He would like to petition for him to come and work for him through a work visa and have him work for his company. Is there any way and for which visa he can apply for?

My wife's brother in law does not have a college degree or a 'specialized' skill set with accompanying portfolio. He is a hard worker that would like the opportunity to come to the united states with a work visa THEN potentially (through proper procedure) apply to bring his wife and daughters if possible by tourist visa and changing status. He is adamant that he does not want to come with a tourist visa with his family and stay illegally. He has an established restaurant in Colombia and property that he does not plan to abandon or sell. Is there any possible route or visa type for applying for a work visa though his cousin's husbands pool business? I am thinking since he does not have a 'specialized or extraordinary' skill, maybe the lack or labor market is the angle for approval?

I believe H-2A - not a preferred option as he does not plan to come and work in agiculture worker. He wants to come and be close with family which is why the pool business they can petition him because they would love to have him work with him.

H1B - Specialty Occupation - would this be considered specialty with no degree or specialized portfolio?

H2B - Temporary Non-agricultural worker - this is the only option i can think would be the visa to apply for. Looking for advice.

O1 Visa - extraordinary abilities?

Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
