Tracy-->NY got a reaction from Rajaeejehad in applying for citizenship after getting the green card
Your wife must be a citizen for three years for you to apply under the three year rule. By that time you will more than likely be able to apply for citizenship under the 5 year rule. See links below.

Tracy-->NY got a reaction from Debchayan in Time to get Permanent residency card
Fee must be paid for everyone who received visa, each should have a distinct A number. It is advised to be paid before travelling but can be paid after entry as the visa in passport is valid for a year after endorsement at POE. Once paid the uscis.gov website states to allow 120 days for receipt. However, I paid my IV fee a month before entry and received it about a month later, I paid my husbands two days after entry and he received his in three weeks this is for NY.

He won't need a Police Certificate for the USA, they will run their own checks.

You need to submit two: one from your wife as the petitioner and one from your brother as a sponsor.

Tracy-->NY got a reaction from Rachel Rauf in Visa process without a lawyer help
I agree with the above save the money and do it yourself, only go to an attorney if necessary. I actually did my husband's petition on my own and also did mine. Read the I130 instructions carefully and follow them the same way. At the NVC stage they let you know everything that is needed.

Start gathering documents for NVC. Check the nvc website and see what documents are needed for an interview in Jamaica at that stage.

An i864 is needed for each applicant and if an i864a is also needed one will also be needed for each.

Tracy-->NY got a reaction from Frage in Greencard holder to petition spouse
Fiance is LPR so you can't be petition via K-1.
As he received his visa a single, marriage can only happen after fiancé enter the US or visa would be voided which would be evident to uscis/nvc when he petitions for you.
Should you not be able to get visitors visa, he can return to the Philippines and marry, he can submit a petition for you as soon as he goes back to the US once he has all the documentation needed. There is no wait time once he did not receive his visa by marriage to LPR or citizen.
If you go to the US on visitor's visa get married and (over)stay, he would not be able to petition you until he become a citizen as over stay of LPR spouses is not forgiven and cannot be waived.
Currently the wait time from petition to interview for spouses of LPRs is two years.

You won't be able to get married until after he enters the US, if he received his immigrant visa as an unmarried child, he can't enter the US married. Should you all get married before he enters the US and activates his petition, his visa will no longer be valid. Once he enters the US you can get married and he can petition you immediately after marriage. Only US citizens can petition via K-1 visa.

Have to agree my spouse and I got married in US and he had a tourist visa. He returned to home country a week after. And has visited twice since whilst awaiting his interview.

Tracy-->NY reacted to Unlockable in Visa denied
Hi,
We understand your frustration, but none of us work for the embassy and can't answer you questions. The best answers you will get are speculation. You are venting your frustration out to people who are trying to help.
Maybe the divorce decree you sent got lost. Who knows. Just send the documents and proof they are asking for. this will be the simplest solution because if you tell them you sent them already and tell them to look for it, guess what? You case may just get put on in a large pile to collect dust. Be proactive and send them what the ask. If they ask for after that, then send more. Because every day you delay is another day your case will not be worked on. even if it is not your fault.
Good luck.

Tracy-->NY got a reaction from fitness trainer in LPR petitioning spouse
It takes approximately two years at the present rate from submission of petition to interview, after interview beneficiary can be placed in administrative processing (for different reasons) and the length of time for AP can vary from days to years before immigrant visa is approved and issued. After entering the US is when the green card is received once fee for it is paid.

Tracy-->NY got a reaction from Lala Lea in Medical and Interview, Barbados
They do not schedule the medical interview for you, neither do you need to make an appointment. You just show up at the approved medical facility before a certain time as after that time they will take to more appointments.
If I remember correctly when you get there you take a letter/number and wait your turn. The later you get there or the more people there that day for IV medicals the longer you will have to wait.
Here is a link from the NVC website re: Barbados embassy:

Tracy-->NY got a reaction from rajrnavy1 in I 130 F3 Catogory
Have you or your brother ever gotten a letter from NVC requesting documents and were they sent? Or gotten a NVC case number or case complete letter? Because after approval from USCIS cases go to NVC and these are some of the additional steps that need to be complete before you can even get an interview. Also with NVC once they send you a correspondence you usually have one year to respond or there are negative effects on your case.

Tracy-->NY got a reaction from Unlockable in Applying I-130 for sister who is on F-1 visa
A parent would put her in a higher family category as your parents are permanent residents her category would be F2B (in this category she must remain unmarried) should she choose to get married specifically to a non-US citizen she cannot do so until the parent that petitioned for her become a US citizen (or the petition become null/void), getting married after parent becomes US citizen would move her into the F3 category and add a few years to her petition.

A B2 visa is for visiting and you aren't allowed to work. Even if you have a SSN as she left after a year in the US she would have abandoned her green card and you will need to reapply, submitting a new I130.
