US Immigration from Ukraine

I just paid the fees at NVC.

Kyiv embassy tells us to transfer our petition to another embassy.

Jenny has visa free travel to Europe, much of the Middle East and much of the Caribbean

Any thoughts on the best embassy to transfer the petition to?

Thanks

Is there a generic form that shows the consent of the beneficiary for the release of her personal information to the IMB that I can see? The IMB is asking to make sure that it meets the requirements. thanks

The US Embassy in Kyiv is closed. We have not received any instructions on what our next steps are. NVC could not provide us any additional information. Would cases from Kyiv be transferred somewhere? Does anyone have any information?

Hi all,

I d like to start applying for the green card for my mom. I have two potential routes. I wanted to ask which one would be faster?

Option 1. File I-130, wait for the approval and have her go through consular filing afterwards. She lives in Ukraine. Quick questions:

a) is translation of documents sufficient when done by someone by lingual? Not professional translation services? And question there - are electronic signatures by translator acceptable?

b) when going to the interview, my mom needs to have affidavit of support, I-864. Do I prepare that in advance and mail through FedEx to her?

Option 2. File I-130 and I-485 concurrently. She has b-2 visa and could come stay with us for up to 6 months. If we were to do that, what happens if the forms are not approved within 6 months? Can she leave the country and come back here? Does she need to notify USCIS in that case?

is option 2 typical faster than option 1? For my mom, option 1 is probably preferred but I wanted to weigh all options we have. I d love to hear from those who have experience with this.

Is it possible to expedite the petition for my sister (F4) due to situation in Ukraine (impending war)? She's still at the USCIS stage, I applied in 2020. My father will be able to come into the country and apply for her soon, would that be an option?

What about for my parent (IR-5), who's at the NVC currently? Also, is it possible to switch the interview to another country when we were auto-assigned to Kyiv for IR-5?

What is the best way to go about it to get them out of the country and safe?

Really appreciate your advice!!
