US Immigration from Pakistan

Hello everyone,

we r currently processing i-864 and ds 260 for siblings who have kids under 18. When we paid AOS fee and visa fee for principal applicant online, it shows all derivative members under him too.

1) Do we have to pay fee for all of the derivatives applicants? It includes 1 spouse and 3 kids under 18.

2) do we have to fill seperate ds260 for all kids under 18 and spouse?

it also includes a derivative who is 4 months only, what about him? Separate ds260?

Hello,

we are working on i-864 an there is an option of follow to join.

what happens if we select follow to join option?

Do we pay fee now?

Do we need sponsor now?

What happens after principal applicant is here in USA and we WANT to bring derivative here?

WHAT paperwork we will have to do?

how long more does it take to get visa?

do they get interviewed with principal or later?

is it a good option?

whats your experience in follow to join?

So question: Does one have to wait for the physical Green card to arrive or can one start working legally right away upon arrival?

Hi everybody,

I recently got an IL today in Kuala Lumpur Embassy for EB1 immigrant visa. Want to seek advice from anyone who have gone through interview:

Is is possible to have separate interviews for principle applicant and additional/derivative applicant? Although the principle applicant can attend the interview, the derivative applicant has a quite important schedule and is not possible to come to interview at that period of time.

My question are:

How's the process of contacting the consulate to schedule a separate interview for the derivative applicant?

Need to send request to local embassy to ask for their arrangement for derivative applicant?

How close in terms of the date normally will they arrange?

And what's the timing for us to contact to arrange a separate interview for derivative applicant(like after the principle applicant's interview or before the principle applicant's interview is OK)?

Thanks for any advice, really appreciate it!

Our case was filed in 2006 (when my child was 5-6 years old) by my U.S. citizen mother, but she passed away in 2009 (NVC wasn t informed). The case was approved in 2019 when my child was 19. Does the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) apply? After my mother s death, my brother, a U.S. citizen, became the substitute sponsor. NVC returned the case to the USCIS in 2019 and it stayed with the USCIS for a long time before finally being approved and sent back to the NVC in 2024. We paid all the fees and submitted the documents, but the NVC removed my son from the case. He is now 23-24 years old. What are the next steps, and how should we proceed?
