Wonder if anyone has heard of an injunction coming? Surely there will be an injunction filed against this EO?

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand your answer. I'm applying for a greencard for my son. In CEAC they are asking for 2 photographs. I read on this site that I can indicate that I will bring them to interview instead of uploading them in the photographs section. Is this true?

Hi-

I read in this forum somewhere that you can indicate "will bring 2 passport photos to interview" rather than actually uploading the photos in to CEAC? Is this correct? Can someone confirm this?

Thanks,

Hi All-

Trying to answer this question on DS-260 for my son, Clayton

In December 2018 Clayton was in Toronto with his dad, aunt and uncle. They tried to cross into US to eat at Cheesecake Factory (just for the day). They all had their documents to cross, except the uncle. My son had his passport, but they had to turn around because the uncle was refused entry. IS this something I need to disclose in the section:

Have you ever been refused a US visa, been refused admission to the US, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?

Thanks!

FYI all. Managed to upload. Thank you for all the support. 

This is giving me panic attacks

Please let me know when you succeed. This stresses me out. I don't even want to try.

I have not tried yet. I'll be trying again this weekend.

ok thanks

Ok because I didn't do it in those steps. I paid the AOS fees only and tried to upload the documents and it kept giving me error messages and kicked me out. So then I thought I would pay the IV fee also and try again. It'll take a few days to process. So I was just wondering if that's the reason it wouldn't let me upload-that I didn't do it in those steps or that both fees were not paid before I tried uploading.

Would you mind staying in touch and letting me know when you are able to upload? I'd like to know if it's the system or me with the problem...

Thanks

Anna

Please!

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've shrunk the damn documents. I've renamed them something obvious. I upload and I get the error. Then it logs me out!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Questions:

Do I have to pay both fees before I can start uploading? I paid AOS first-thought I'd start on that one.

Do I have to do it in this order?

1-Pay Fees

2-Complete IV Form 260

3-Submit Required and Civil Documents

Any help would be appreciated

I am F3 but I've seen a few F2 here. They waited 7 and 8 months for their interview letters 8 and 9 months to actual interview. Their interviews were November and December 2019

 

Police checks last a year. They had to get them done again. I probably will too. Mine expires in May and February will be 7 months waiting for my IL so I'm hoping to hear something soon. 

Thanks

I believe Police clearance certificates are valid for one year from the date they were issued. However, police clearance certificates from the country in which you currently reside have to have been issued within six months from when you submit your application for permanent residence.

I'm not sure I understand. The police certs would be for my son ,18, who has lived in Montreal his whole life. Is it 6 or 12? Thanks

Not sure on the wait time, but the police certificate is valid for 1 year.  

 

Thanks

Hello-

I'm trying to figure out the best time to submit everything to NVC. My son finishes Dawson College in Montreal in December of this year. I thought the wait time was +-3 months from document submission to interview. I'm seeing 7-8  months for F2A category. Is this right?

Also- Can someone please tell me how long the police certificates are valid for? I'd like to get them done now-one less thing to do.

Thanks in advance

That was what I was thinking. My only concern with this timeline-maybe I'm paranoid. Trump takes the house and senate in Nov 2020. In January 2021 there is a new congress and they lower the age for F2A from 21 to 18. This is very possible as I read previous legislation where they proposed to reduce the age. I am certain pending processes would go through but one never knows. That's just an added piece to that I need to consider.

He just turned 18 DOB 8-22-2001. I don't think he needs CSPA protection.

I re-read. I am wrong. It says when a NOTICE of visa becomes available.

I am an LPR Petitioner parent . I ask that particular question because I read the law on FAM (SP) and it says from the time a visa becomes available. SO I'm confused...

Hello- and thanks for taking my question. Here is the situation. My approved I-130 is currently at NVC stage. Here is the timeline:

PD-Feb 6, 2018.
Visa number available July 2019 (F2A became current per visa bulletin). <------I AM STILL NOT SURE IF JULY 2019 IS CORRECT GIVEN MY PD. NOT SURE HOW TO READ VISA BULLETIN
I-130 approved Aug 16 2019.
NVC sent me email OCT 2019 with generic: you have 1 year to respond/contact or we will terminate the processing of your visa.

SO normally, the NVC sends this email soon after after a visa number becomes available. In my case, a visa number was available last July (I think???). I need to prolong the processing of this visa as long as possible. I need for someone to tell me the law: Is the contact 1 year from visa availability (July 2019) to submit the ds-260 visa application or 1 year from the time my I-130 was approved by USCIS (Aug 2019) or 1 year from when nvc sends me a notice of visa availability which was October 2019.

Even a few months of delay will help as he will finish his college in May of 2021. It's 3 months from document submission to interview in Montreal, then he has 6 months to activate his visa, cross a POE. My timeline is tight which is why I am looking for legal ways to delay at this stage. Thanks.

Thank you

Thank you Geowrian. F2A became current in June, before I130 was approved on 8/16. Is it 'seek to aquire' from the June date or the August date. I've tried reading thru FAM- gives me a headache. Thanks.

Hello my fellow visa journeymen-

F2A is current. NOA2 8/16/19. My son is turning 18 next week 8/22/19. Here is my question.

I understand he needs to 'seek to aquire' lpr within a year. Does this mean everything has to be wrapped up in a year or he has to take some kind of action in a year. Example: pay iv bill.

I am trying to drag it out as he is still in college.

Please advise. Thanks.

Isn't that chart for citizens sponsoring relatives?
