Oh god. I am so sorry to hear this. What vaccine did she got in Vnzla?

 

Guys, Here is a list of Covid Vaccines. Only the ones approved for the OMS are valid in Colombia. Basically Sinopharm or Sinovac if you got it in Venezuela. 

 

Also, I called my airline and they told me Colombia is requesting 3 doses... Although the guy who talked with me over the phone with me was not really sure about this. I don't think is true.

Okay, I'm sure that your relatives are already here in us by this time. And I am glad I didn't read this before sending my brother to Colombia; I'm pretty sure I would have freaked out (AND, from a Venezuelan Standpoint .. a valid feeling).

After reading and reading and breaking down the USCIS statement, I asked my brother to get a vaccine approved by the WHO in Venezuela; one available is Sinopharm, a Chinese vaccine. Received 12/5/22 first dose. Traveled to USA 12/21. Second dose was supposed 12/25/22. 

He traveled via BUS from Valencia to Cucuta - Entry and exit stamp in Colombian migration. Note: Venezuela migration does not stamp your exit passport if it is expired. And Cucuta-bog-Miami via AVIANCA. No issues. I hope this update helps someone!

Ahhhh I see! Yeah, I was wondering if the 24,000 was based on the amount of travel authorizations they issued, or the I-134s they approved. It would be nice if they could clarify 😣 I read an article somewhere saying USCIS approved like 7,500 so far but only a little over 100 Venezuelans have arrived using the travel authorization. But again, I don’t know if that 7,500 are the travel authorizations or the I-134s only.

 

Edit: I see 7,500 sponsor applications have been submitted, a few hundred of those have been approved. 

Hi, Im sorry if I am missing something but how do you know that 7,500 sponsor applications have been submitted?

For clarity.  OP mentioned that CSC processing time for F4 is 138 months.  Let's say it actually takes 120 months (10 years).  Let's also say it takes 20 years for the brother's visa to be available. 

 

The brother's son is 4 years now.  The brother's son will be 24 years when the visa is available, normally aging out.  But because USCIS took 10 years to approve the I-130, the son can deduct those 10 years for his CSPA age = 14 years.  Therefore, the son can immigrate with the parent (brother).  This is how long processing times at USCIS can help for numerically limited visas. 

 

OP, currently the F4 for Venezuela is about 15 years, but this may creep up to 20 years by 2037.  It all depends on how many petitions are filed between now and then for that category while the numerical limits remain the same. 

 

 

OMG, Thank you so much for yr time with the explanation I Get it!!!!

If he has children who would otherwise age out, they can deduct the time it takes the I 130 to process from their age to keep them under 21.

That's the thing I need to check ( e.g do my research) because I don't see how that may affect the timeline. At the end the boy is 4, will be at least 17 years .

8 months?   For a visa for sibling?   No.   It takes 15-20 years minimum.

 

you need to familiarize yourself with the visa bulletin and the concept of numerically limited visas.

 

Petition approval and visa availability are two different things.

I was familiar with the visa bulletin, but once you stop looking you fogt the difference between petitions and this visas. Thank you.

He does, he is 4.  Well, lets see, already knew that the process was going to be different to mine. Thank you

It really does not matter if it takes the I 130 that long to be approved, it could be beneficial.

 

The Priority Date is key and that is about 20 years.

I really don't get how can be beneficial, like, I've been reading a lot of people saying that but don't gt the clue

Service center assignment is not related to your residential address.

 

and you’re looking at close to 20 years all told.

Well, that sucks, i guess some people is lucky enough to get 8 months? or maybe is by defect straight to California. 

Thank you both for the answers

Good day to everyone!

Its been a long time since I was active n this website, and I apologize if this question has already been made. I don't know how to look for this exact answer.

I am now a U.S. Citizen and applied to bring my brother to the U.S.A.; now I have a question; my receipt starts with an I.O.E; the S.V.C. center is California. Here is my doubt, I live in North Carolina, and all my USCIS paperwork since my K1 paperwork went thru Texas Service Center. Is it normal to relocate I30 ( F4) to that service center? I m confused and heartbreaking about the 138 months wait. I guess like everyone else. 

Thanks in advance for any help anybody can give related to this, and again I'm sorry if the question was already posted.

Good news, Congratulations!  Did you receive an email or text? Did it update first on USCIS website? I’m wondering how does the app knows if it does not belong to USCIS

I received an email and text message letting me know about the change in my USCIS status., so I went to the website and check.

Same here, just waiting to check what date I have. Good luck!!

You should send a message, just in case they forgot 🤷🏽‍♀️

I don’t think you will receive a biometric letter most probably you’re ready to be scheduled for an interview they just don’t have a date yet. 

I do think that, but with USCIS, you never know, I try to play safe, so I don't get disappointed if things take longer or if they sent me a biometric request. I know things are quite different during COVID so, I'm cheering  for an appointment ✔✔✔

I still don't have that i filed may 5... At this point dont even know to say... Its surprising u haven't gotten interview date... 

Well, I filled mine in March; hence, I received the biometric reuse before you. Hang out there, is coming, the timeframe is getting back to normal, we just need to wait a little longer, unfortunately.

Have you gotten your biometric 

I received a letter for biometric reuse but have the feeling that  they are only buying time and that eventually, I will receive a biometric letter 🤷🏽‍♀️

Am I just very blind, or did they remove the ability to send messages through the Inbox function? I could've sworn there was an option to start a new message, but I went looking for it today and the inbox just has the welcome letter and nothing else that's clickable.

 

Congrats for the breezy process, Giovanni

No. Im. In north carolina raleigh... Its usually faster than rest of the offices but i have not been getting any. Updates either. I. Had called was told. Wait 90 days after reopening

Same here. The good thing is that the processing time is now from 6 to 9.months so ,we getting there. 

Good day!

I just received a notice that mail is coming from USCIS, so I went to the website and...

Quote

U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has received your form and is currently processing your application, petition, or request. This notice
informs you that USCIS is able to reuse your previously captured fingerprints and other biometrics. USCIS will run the same security checks and use
your biometric data as in the past, however, it is not necessary for you to appear at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) for a biometrics
appointment. The biometrics fee will not be refunded.
USCIS is continuing to process your application, petition, or request. USCIS will contact you in writing if any additional information is necessary to resolve
your case.
This notice is not an approval of your pending application, petition, or request.

So, I guess that's good news at least they send me a mail a month later saying that they need my biometrics, anyway... 

Just want to shared the news just in case someone is wondering. They sent the later 08/07. 

Nothing yet, my center is Raleigh, NC, and they are scheduled to open by Monday 07/20 so ... I'm going to say I'll receive a biometric appointment two weeks after that. Let's keep fingers crossed.

Guys, can someone help me understand the case estimated completion date ? My case filed on March 13th, online it shows estimated completion is on June 2020. My biometrics are postponed due to Covid and waiting for new appointment. How accurate is this estimated completion time ??

Don't worry about the estimated completion date because its accuracy is n doubt, however we should expect some (A LOT!) delay.

Hello. I am getting ready to file the n400. I have a question about part 9. It says time outside the US for the past 5 years. Do I have to put the last 5 years or do I do the last 3 since this is based on marriage? Thank you for your help. 

Simple, did you travel outside the U.S in the past five years since you become a GC holder? The key is ..what you did since you've become a GCholder and because it is marriage base, it should be the last three years.  Hope it helps.

Hello VJ's, 

I would like to clarify about n-400 form. I am preparing my documents and i am little confused about legal name change. I have my husbands surname and that surname is on my greencard as well as on my SSN, Driver's License etc. I don't have any court order that confirms that i changed my surname. During my greencard interview, i requested to the officer, i want to have this last name on my Greencard, without any complication i received it with my new surname. Without any court order or written notice, how i confirm that i changed my surname? First name stays as it is, no changes have been done. 

 

Thanks all 

Hey, I believe the marriage certificate would be enough. That's the document I've been using as proof of name changed. DMV, Filling status, and adjustment.  I did the same for citizenship. 

Verify your state, but I believe the marriage certificate should be enough.
