US Immigration from Russia

Hi have some questions regarding filing form I-130 for a parent living in Russia and I am wondering if anyone who has applied for someone in Russia has had similar experiences. In the online form, it often asks for middle names, but Russians do not have middle names so I left that blank. I am assuming this is NOT the place for adding the patronymic, is that correct? Since patronymics are not middle names. The concern lies in the fact that the birth cert and other Russian documents will show the full name including the patronymic and I don't want that to cause confusion. Let me know if anyone knows how to handle this! Thanks!

Overall, USCIS is still slowing down - 7 I-129Fs closed for every 12 received. This is on par with Q3, better than Q1 or Q2, but way, way worse than FY2021.

There's massive emphasis on employment applications and employment-based adjustments of statuses. Family-based form approvals across the board are down.

Processing times for those filing now is about 22.5 months.

I used to date this Russian woman. Very nice woman. But we are no longer together.

However she has a grown son that decided to come to America via the Mexico route. He got caught and sent to detention in Massachusetts. He was told he needs a sponsor.

Is anyone on here familiar with this type of situation?

If so what is a sponsor? Or a guarantor? What is required? What needs to be done?

Is this a lot of responsibility?

Thanks

Hello VJ,

My wife's paperwork just got DQ. Can anyone one tell me on average how long does it take for them to schedule a visa interview in Warsaw? Also does she have to go to the interview alone? Can me and my child join? Is getting a visa to Poland impossible? Can I switch my interview to Turkey?

Thank you

Hi guys! As some of you may know, my wife got a Schengen visa refusal from Hungary so she won't be able to attend the IR1 visa interview next week in Warsaw. On Dec 5th I wrote to the U.S. Embassy Jerusalem asking for the interview transfer but they haven't replied yet. Then I wrote to support-poland@ustraveldocs.com asking for further steps but they replied with some incomprehensible nonsense, seems like they didn't bother to read my message in full. I wonder what to do now? Should I reschedule the interview in Warsaw using ustraveldocs website and then try to obtain a Schengen visa for my wife from another country? Should I wait until interview date passes to reschedule (that's what it says on ustraveldocs website)?
