Planning on leaving June 2023 , u are asking NVC to delay the interview too long

the medical for a june visa expiration would have to be done in January 2023 as the visa expires 6 months from the medical exam

you can only delay NVC AOS and ds 260 documents a year

NVC recd your case 2/25/2021 so the year will be up in February 2022

I would file all and cancel (if needed)

BUT this is on USCIS site

Can you delay visa interview?

You may only schedule a new visa interview appointment if you missed your previously scheduled immigrant visa interview appointment. If you schedule a visa interview appointment before the date of your initial immigrant visa interview appointment or meet any of the conditions below, you will not be interviewed.

Keep in mind the queue is long for Philippines and u may be waiting (in your needed timeframe) just to get the interview

Where does that one year rule come from, and what constitutes the termination of the year? We filed at NVC in March 2022. We're not in a hurry and would prefer an interview in April 2023, so that we can go to the US in late September 2023, after our second anniversary. We just got an unrequested expedite and our case went to Manila January 9. Does having an interview scheduled stop the one year clock you mentioned, or must the interview actually be conducted? Thanks.

Hello. I did a search on VJ for this and couldn't find anything on point so....We.Paid the IV fee on March 22, 2022. Interview is not yet scheduled and case just left the NVC for Manila Embassy on January 9. We're not in a hurry, but if the fee does really expire, can I just pay it again or what do we do? Hoping someone's got an answer for this. Thanks

Hello, I became a member here way back 2008. I am now a US citizen and petitioned my mom is now a US citizen.

I have unmarried siblings over 21 yrs old in the Philippines. Is it best that my mom will petition them, correct?

My 1st sibling is over 21 yrs old, unmarried w/ 2 minor children and the youngest is over 21 yrs old unmarried w/o child.

Does it slow down the process if my mom petition my sister and her children?

What would be the process to petition them.

Thanks in advance

Just wanted to post that my wife passed her citizenship interview today. Waiting for word on the oath ceremony. She studied hard reviewing the questions and watching You Tube videos. Been quite a journey and I am very thankful for the visajourney forum for helping us along the way.

Hi all.

I have not been here for a while and I was a victim of the embassy shutdown/slowdown (2 year additional wait). Have they retuned to any semblence of normalcy?
