5150 is a welfare code. It means an adult is having mental health problems and can be detained for a 72- hour psychiatric hospitalization when evaluated to be a danger to others or themselves.

So the due date starts after the I-130 is approved? His case case will be "due" for what, an interview? If for example a such case was approved in November 1st 2023, the "due date" will be in 4 years? Sorry for the questions but I am trying to understand.

Who determines the F2A option and at what point? I assume after the I-130 is approved? Regarding the CSPA - I am reading about it but still not understanding how it works. It there a simplified explanation? Will there be an issue if the father files another I-130 for the son? Thank you

Hello everyone, I have couple of questions about the situation below and I am hoping to find some answers: Parents who are in the US now as PR since July 2023, wanting to bring their son who just turned 19. The mother has filed I130 petition for him in August 2023. Can the father file another I-130 for the same son (in case something happened to his mom) while the 1st I-130 is still pending? Any negative/positive consequences? Should the son get the visa before he turns 21 to be in the same category, or he is considered in the "under 21" category at the date of when the I-130 is filed/approved? The son now is in a country where a war is very possible (Lebanon) and the US department of state issued a "Do Not Travel" notice. He already suffers from anxiety disorder and what is going on making things worse. Are these enough reasons to request an expedite since the son is there by himself? Is there a way to get a reasonable estimate of how long will this process take? Thank you and good luck for everyone

I have seen 2 people here who reported getting an interview scheduled in Beirut in about 6 months after getting DQ'd.

Who is the french citizen? Regarding the wait time in Lebanon, from what I have been seeing, it takes between 5 to 7 months to get an interview appointment at the US embassy in Lebanon.

Certified copy will do. I was in the same situation as you. The embassy called few days before the interview and requested the petitioner (me) birth certificate. I have the original one here. I sent a copy of it and they just translated there and stamped it as certified. The US embassy accepted it. Good luck.

That's what I thought. It seems like just an auto update for some reason lol.

Hello everyone, I tried to look if this question was asked before here but I couldn't find a thread. Family member attended an IR5 interview and were given paper to complete DS-5535 and send back. They completed this few weeks ago, since then the "Case Last Updated" date keeps changing every 2 or 3 days but the status still says "Refused". Last update was last night. Does this really mean anything? Thanks

Hello, After reading different posts here I can see that in some cases the embassy asked to fill in DS5535 and either kept their passports or gave the passports back to the applicants. What is the logic or difference between keeping a passport vs giving it back? Is there really a meaning behind each case? Thanks

I know someone who got their visa from the US embassy in Beirut after 11 months from sending the DS5535. Hopefully your case will be approved soon. Did they take his passport or gave it back to him?
