US Immigration from Turkey

Our case is an i130 petition and I am a US citizen petitioning for my spouse. I am writing to seek clarification regarding the scheduling of an immigrant visa interview

Recently, we received communication from the National Visa Center (NVC) confirming the approval of our request for expedited processing. As per the notification, it was stated that the embassy would be responsible for booking our appointment. However, the email we received from the embassy request us to book the appointment ourselves and upon attempting to schedule the appointment through the online portal we keep seeing notification that there no available appointments

on the ceac site, it say ''Ready'' Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time.

I am really confused. We are reaching out to seek clarification on this matter as it seems contradictory to the expedited processing request approved by the embassy based on the email with received NVC. We believe there may be an error or misunderstanding in the process, as self-booking appointments would defeat the purpose of our expedited request.

please advise

I petitioned for my spouse from Nigeria. He came on a spousal visa in February 2020. In 2022, I discovered many things including a fake divorce decree that he provided to USCIS when I petitioned for him. He is still married in Nigeria. He applied for N-400 unbeknownst to me and got it in 2023 and left the marriage. After lying about his whereabouts, I discovered he s in Nigeria with wife and their child. Divorce decree has been confirmed that it is counterfeit. What are my next steps.

I wanted to share this for those of you that have been asking "how long until x...". Our AOS package had a priority date of 2/22/24 and we received an RFE a few days later, on 2/29. I sent the RFE response (an entirely new Affidavit of Support package) on 3/12 and afterwards checked the online account for updates on a daily basis. Even this afternoon (4/1) I checked and it only changed the status of step 2 (biometrics) as completed for the I-765 EAD and the I-485, but not for the I-131 AP application, but nothing showed "complete." Also, the estimated time for EAD completion was at 2 weeks, which has been the same since 3 weeks ago.

Well, TODAY 4/1, USPS dropped an envelope from the NBC with a I-797 approving the EAD. All in under a month -with the RFE delay.

I must say I am impressed.

Technically, USCIS approved my wife's EAD in TWO weeks since they had to wait for my RFE response for the remainder two weeks to continue the process. WOW.

Anyway, keep up the hope.

Cheers. Saludos. ok Ya a.

I'm a US citizen, my wife got her 10 year greencard through marriage 7 months ago.

We want her mother, to visit us from Turkey. Her mother owns a house in Turkey, she is retired. She's coming only to visit us. We don't have kids either so no babysitting.

Is there anything we can do to increase her chances of approval ?

Her only child is my wife and she isn't married either. But she had cancer a few years back and gets checkups from her doctor. She also has a sister who she takes care of from time to time.

All,

We sent the AOS package for my wife on 2/22 and got a 2/26 NOA. On 2/29 NBC MO sent Affidavit it of Support RFE, which I replied to on 3/12 via paper mail. I have been checking the USCIS page for updates and the EAD estimates have been consistent at 2-3 weeks. Well, yesterday afternoon the mailman dropped off my wife's SSA card (with the DHS work restriction of course). But the USCIS website still showed "in progress." What gives? Does SSA gets automatically notified when we submit package (or gets approved) and issue a card?
