US Immigration from Pakistan

Hi,

My parents came to USA on green card on 02/22/2020 and find below details of their trips aboard. 254 days trip was during COVID and they have bank account and health insurance while they were abroad, My question is that we can apply for citizenship based their residency because 254 days was caused by COVID and they have their ties to USA or we have wait for 2 more years ? Please advise. Thanks

Hello there ,

I hope you all doing great. I don t know if this is even the right question to ask. I have quick question about bringing my sibling to US. Can US citizen petition sibling alone without sibling s derivative beneficiaries and is it even legal? How this would impact my sibling s chances of getting visa after a decade or so if I don t petition their kids along? Lastly , what is the best thing to do out of this?
Your help regarding this matterwould be greatly appreciated. God bless you all!

So my wife s case was at the NVC in feb 2025 and they asked for additional docs, i submitted them after which look like they accepted the doc and i got a message saying we were DQ. now this was march 2025.

so we are waiting for the Interview date, the other day I decide to login to the NVC just to see if there s anything to see and what I saw confused me.

i see the original message saying that the case has been DQ as of march however they are indicating they need the same additional document they previously asked for; the same doc they asked for previously, that I uploaded they reviewed and accepted and DQd the case.

I got no email indicating the NVC wanted me to submit additional documents and again she s DQ according to the message in the NVC system.
So my question is what s going on?

1 has anyone had a this kind of an experience?

2 how did they deal with it?

3 what was the outcome.

appreciate any insight and experience anyone can share

Pending case with USCIS now estimated time frame 34 months to be completed.

It's for my wife in Pakistan and I am a U.S. Citizen residing in D/M/V area. Anyone going through similar case or know anything with updates based on this particular case. Please comment your thought or reach out to me. May be we can learn more about this process

Hello all,

Doing standalone I130 for consular processing and my petition was approved but I made a mistake on the form such that section 61 had a YS location for AOS but USCIS took into account the beneficiary's last address and are going to forward it to NVC which is what I want. Anyone else in a similar situation? Also, for my country I just put Pakistan and the NVC should auto-select Islamabad as the embassy correct? That is the only one in the country that does immigrant visas.

We have approved the above petition. However, you indicated on the petition both that the beneficiary intends to apply for an immigrant visa through consular processing at a U.S. embassy or a U.S. consulate outside the United States and also that the beneficiary intends to apply for adjustment of status

in the United States. Because the beneficiary's last address on the petition is outside the United States, and you have not informed us that the beneficiary is in the United States and intends to adjust status, we have forwarded the petition to the Department of State's National Visa Center (NVC) for consular processing.
