F2A.

PD -October 20 2020, February 18 2022- uscis activly review our case, hope approve soon

No we applied F2a on October 20 2020 and since then no news. Visa bulletin says the visa is supposed to be current but there is just no one to ask. Do you have any info on that?

One more question- when you fille for I-130 for your spose do you have to add all proofs in section “evidence” or just the major one ( marrige certificate) and later on in ds-260 you can add others. Becuse if it is-I could apply for her now and not wait till we gather all possible proofs of bona fide marrige.

Thanks in advance

Only very few F2A visas have been issued because those specific cases meet an exception to PP10014: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/04/27/2020-09068/suspension-of-entry-of-immigrants-who-present-a-risk-to-the-united-states-labor-market-during-the

 

Odds are that your spouse does not meet a listed exception.

Thanks. I will read it

Don't trust YouTube and Facebook for immigration advice, IMO, it's mostly wrong.

Thanks. Will do. But F2A banned anyway :((

Where did you get that from? Yes, it is currently banned. (CR1 is not banned, but she will not be CR1.)

I found it on You Tube. Could you please( if you know) clarify are F2A visas banned now? Because in visa bulletin in first table  it says final action dates forF2A  -current

Just to clarify, she is F2A category and can qualify for a F2A visa. CR1 is a visa category for spouses of US citizens.

 

As long as there was no formal marriage etc it doesn’t matter how long you two lived together “as” a married couple, if you were not married that is fine. You will clearly have plenty of proof of a bona fide relationship which will help your application. 

Is that mean that her category NOT BANNED by president ?  Thank YOU for a good news!

They actually did not.  copy is fine

Hi,everyone

Visa journey and people here was a great help while I was going through my immigration process. I was F2B category. And by this category I was not able to get married until I enter the US and get my green card. It was long 8 years of waiting process. Now I have to start all over again. immigration process for my girlfriend that was left in my home country. 

         As soon as I received my green card and became a permanent resident I flew back to my country and we got married.  So now she is F2A category and can qualifiy for CR-1 visa ( which is TEMPORARY banned - I know :(( but still I can apply to USCIC.)

Now a tricky question-

we were a couple for 20 years but was never officially married (last 8 years because of my visa category). When now I am applying for her I -130 can I show that although officialy I was single we were living as a couple and you could say in a common law marriage??? Will that fact not harm my GC status? 

Or should I just tell that we lived together only after official marriage  certificate ( she had a differnet address)? Also should I show as a proof of our relations that we always traveled on vacation together?

Thank you in advance who will share your thoughts.

God bless

its F1 family. I thought so too so wet is sending to me

Hi

Today my interview for immigration visa  in Embassy was schedueled for December 02. Main question- do I need originals affidavit of support of my sponsor to it or copies are good.

Thanks

You have answered by yourself -you have at least 7 months to wait (unless the waiting time for available visa or give more visas for your category, which I dont belive). My PD is in October 2012. How long did you wait since NVC received your docs from USCIS and filling DS260.?  Fill out your timeline which helps others to see how process is moving.Good luck

Good morning, everyone

My story short:FB-1 visa. After waiting for almost 5 years my case finally transfered from USCIS(Vermont) (I-130 Approved by USCIS on August 29 2017) to NVC. After 90 days, proof(a letter from USCIS sent to NVC) and 2 inquiries - NVC answered that they haven't received my case and I should do nothing while they start looking for it !????

If anybody has been in my shoes, please share your experience, cause I'm going nuts with all this procedures. 

Thank  all you guys who helped me before and God bless.

I understand, but  hope for the best

Mine is Oct 11 2012

Ok,thanks

Yes she did filed while she was green card holder. Could you clear for me - Am I still in F2A waiting list ?She is a Citizen now, I ve thought they automaticly change my PD from F2B to F1B? Which PD is mine?Thank you

Do you know anything about this Opt out ?

Effect on adult children: If you filed a petition for your unmarried adult children (age 21 or older) when you were an LPR, NVC will change the visa category from family second preference (F2B) to family first preference (F1). However, under a federal law called the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), visa applicants can “opt out” of conversion to the F1 visa category and remain an F2B visa applicant. This may be beneficial because sometimes the waiting time for an F2B visa is shorter than the waiting time for an F1 visa. When you naturalize and become a U.S. citizen, you should check the Visa Bulletin to see if it would be helpful for your adult unmarried child to remain in the F2B category. (Applicants keep the priority date of their F2B petition when it converts to the F1 visa category.) Applicants who want to opt-out of the F1 category must submit a request using these guidelines:

Thanks, good luck to you too

My PD is 10/11/2012

Thank you

Hi, everyone

Perhaps anybody can share info how things move forward in time. What to expect and prepare for.FB-1 visa. My family (mother-US Citizen) just received a letter from Vermont USCIC that my petition has been approved and sent to Portsmouth NVC. Also that we have to wait for 30 days until they will send some another letter to us. 

Please share your thoughts, I'm really anxious, because there has not been any move  in my case since 2012. Thanks for all who will reply. God bless all.

I've read that somebody called to the USCIS and they said it will be fixed in 2-3days. In my mind they should have left it as it is. Everybody would be happy with that date.

Thank you

Thank you
