thanks so much. 

Experts - 

My wife entered the US 2 years ago,; our marriage was less than 2 years when she entered, therefore she received a 2-yr green card. We applied for the removal of condition,  and it was extended.

We'd like to know if someone here knows answers to the questions we currently have:

1 - How long does the process take? (we don't know whether or not to apply for I-131 while this is in process; we're planning a trip overseas)

2 - What are the steps of the process (interview etc...) like?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Thanks all for your helpful inputs. My profile says France because that's where my wife immigrated from to the US. No, my aunt isn't in France, she is currently in the Ivory Coast, which is not a VWP participant. As someone suggested above, for now, i will research for other specialists (other than the ones she is seen already) in other towns across town, if available. Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts.  

Experts - 

Hope all are doing well. I have a situation that i'd like to get your advice on.

I have an aunt who has not been feeling well for years, and after many diagnosis at different public and private clinics, they said she has arthritis. This started 3 years ago, and until today, after many medications she is been on for years, the pain isn't going away. I would like to explore another route: bring her here for opinions from specialists in the state, hoping to find what exactly is wrong with her. She can't sponsor herself, and I want to sponsor her. 

Based on your experience, what are the chances for her to be granted a visa? This is not intended for her to IMMIGRATE in the state because she is married and has 2 kids.

I have can prove income for past years, with some cash in savings. If granted visa, I will be paying her bills out of pockets as they come. She raised me and I want to return the favor. Does she have a shot at getting a visa? thanks for your inputs.    

thank you for all your inputs. So far we tried TDBank , she was going to deposit $300 but we got a letter a week later and she was denied. We also applied capital one even though she was going to deposit $300  and she was denied. 

Experts - my wife settled here for 7 months now and we're trying to build up her credit history. We applied for different cards (included Secure cards) and she was denied based on lack of credit history and no US income. She's working now, but still can't get approved. We have accounts with a bank that denied her even though they house two of our accounts. I can't have her as a secondary card holder on my accounts because my score isn't good and I don't want mine to negatively impact hers. Do you have any advice? Thanks in advance.

We are pleased to announce that we received our visa today. We'd like to take a moment to thank you for all your recommendations, inputs and suggestions during this process. Our CR1 exactly took 7 months and 5 days from start to finish. Our timeline goes as below:

Congrats!!!  What was your scan date and supervisor review?

thx... scan date 10/27/16; sup review 12/13. it was a lonnnng wait. 

CC TONIGHT, 2/1. Received a call from a supervisor this evening and said she reviewed a completed our case. 15 mn later i jumped on the site and boom: the magical 3rd N/A. She said we are in line for an interview.    

We were informed of a checklist mid-last week and in order to save a few days of waiting we asked the rep if we could print the old AOS bar code and mail out the form instead of waiting for the checklist email. she confirmed we could do that, so we mailed out the document the next day early in the AM...This past weekend we received the checklist email with a new bar code. the letter states "your case will be delayed if you don't use the bar code in this letter". Does anyone know what is going on here? thanks.

omg, i'm so sorry ): that's my worst nightmare. i hope you are able to talk the supervisor into double checking. 

me too. will call again hopefully we will get ahold of one of them. 

well, after 12 weeks of waiting we got informed by the rep that we are getting a checklist. they lost our document. requested to speak sup since last week with no success. the document they're asking was in the packet...no matter how much patience you have, the people at the nvc will make you lose it.
