    You can’t get a visa until your priority date in the first table is current. That’s the date that really matters.

    So what happens when my priority date becomes current in the 2nd chart?? Is it welcome letter and then wait on interview? 

     

    Thanks for getting back..

    i have kids coming and need a school in place ect so I will have a lot to organise/research for them getting over

    Current F3 priority date is 2.5 years before yours, but it gets longer every year because of the increased number of applicants vs fixed number of visas that can be issued annually

    i was originally priority date Dec 2008 for F3, when we got approved it looked like it would be a 10 year wait at that point (in other words at that stage people were being issued F3 from 10 years’ prior PDs.)  so my calc is it takes roughly a year and a third for every “year” in PDs, if you see what I mean

    But it’s all just an educated guess of course

    That would be based on the first chart..final action date..so on the second chart when do you think they would be working on ours??

    if you overstay your B1/B2 visa, it will give a big dent on your F3 application and it might be denied. Follow their laws and don't try to do any thing illegal. Only you can stay max. of 6 months and it should not be overstay even for single day.

    Can he not stay if his family can support him and he or his family don't work??

    Hi 

    it is interesting...I honestly thought they would extend it...and yes if something did happen obviously we would still have our house ect and I definitely don't plan on doing anything illegal it would purely be to help and I couldn't take my kids out of school for a long time...it would have to be one of us that went because the kids .

    It's good to be prepared! 

     

    Setiosly, I think the biggest "risk"

    you face is your category being closed down completely. 

    I don't really read anything now ..I don't get a chance, the last I heard trump was talking about a merit based...which I guess then we would fall into that?

    Your profile says F-3 (married sons and daughters of USCs). Assuming that is the category you are in, the wait is 12 years and climbing. Not sure how long you have been waiting already. During that time anything can happen, of course. People become unwell, people age, etc. But these are things you just have to take into consideration when you are in a category with a long wait. If they should become unwell, USCIS will not make any special provisions for you - it's part of life and the way they see it there are plenty of doctors, nurses and care workers here in the USA who can take care of them. Your case won't be fast-tracked or expedited if that's what you were asking. If the petitioner dies, your petition dies with him. 

    We only have about 3 1/2 yrs to go...I was only asking as something came up and I just wanted to know what we would /could do in that situation...his parents are only in early 50s so I can't and hope nothing happens

    This is true IF you enter on a visa.  If you use the Visa Waiver program (ESTA), you can only stay 90 days and there is no extension possible le.

    Yeah I know I could stay the 90days...but it was incase something happened before we got our green cards ..and they need our help

    Hi 

    well done everyone that has a priority date up👏🏻...I always get confused with this 2nd chart ..I believe when your date comes up on that you get in touch with uscis but I always thought they go in touch about a year before anyway..so what is the benefit?? Is it to try work out visas that will get issued??

     

    thanks Leanne

    Go thru the process get your GC (everyone knows a GC is to live here) if your dad becomes ill 

    you can ftle to leave for the 2 yr period.We all want to support spouses & parents & should

    look for the best legal way to do so. OP hoping your dad feels better sooner than later

    Thanks...I will just need to go and travel back and forth so I can check on him...I can't be separated from my children

    Leanne, it is a good thing to be thinking through all the consequences of immigrating...

    I left behind my 88 year  old parents in order to be here in the same country as my 2 children and 6 grandchildren.  Reality is that I cannot have both.. I cant be here with this family and at the same time care for my aging parents.. I had to come to terms with that and what it meant, and possibly look like, before we applied, otherwise I would always be deeply unsettled..

    We made the decision to come, a decision I wish we hadn't had to make but glad we did..

    Not all the consequences of such a big life move are pleasant, enjoyable or good.. its a package deal..

    You can start talking with your dad and extended family now about what those years might look like and how he can be supported by family friends and government assistance. Better to have the conversation out in the open and develop a plan before he becomes unwell and before you move. 

    Thanks...it is hard decision...if it never took so long it wouldn't be as hard...my dad has only been diagnosed with copd few months ago but doctor said it's at sever and he won't give up smoking...I have spoke with someone so I could get advice about the condition...he's ok the now but they did say if he keeps smoking he would go downhill fast..I only have him here that I see x

    I think if you are planning on immigrating to America, then it's best you take the years you have left with your dad to plan for when you won't be there. Are there services that can be set up via the NHS for his care? Green cards are for living in America, not living abroad.

    Yeah NHS would be able to help I guess...I just wondered what I would do if I was told he was dying (which technically is what's happening )and I was immigrating at the same time 😩

    A greencard is for living in the US, if you do not intend to live in the US you would not be eligible for the GC

    What you can do is fly to the US stay for a short while, return to the UK, but you need to be spending more time in the US than outside of the US in order to maintain your GC

     

    Why can't your kids go if you do not go?

    If you are estimating you will have your GC in 3.5 years, that is far away, a lot can change in 3.5 years

    Why not wait another 3 years and then evaluate your situaion

     

    I knew I would have to be in the USA more than not...I thought you might have to be in the USA for a period of time before they let you return?? 

    If I didn't go and my family did I would then be apart from them and how would I then enter?? 

    A lot can defo happen it was just something that was in my head...and wondered what I would do
