There have been a few on FB for beneficiaries waiting outside the US from CC Sep/Oct/Nov 2019. Strangely, they have been received "expedited" approval notifications, even though they didn't request their cases to be expedited.

 

We received an "expedited" notification for my wife's interview and we hadn't requested it to be expedited.  It looked like someone copy and pasted from another email and forgot to take out the expedited part. 

Visas approved for my wife and stepdaughter. We're very happy.  Thanks to everyone for the help and good luck to all.

and if they want the original for the records in both cases?

where did you get married Mexico or the US?

In US. San Diego. 2013.

Both my wife and stepdaughter have visa interviews in Juarez next week.  They are separate cases and I realized too late that they each need a copy of our marriage certificate and we only have one.  And with covid restrictions it's been impossible to get one fast.  Anyone have ideas on what we can do or what will happen at the interview?

Thanks

My wife has her visa interview in Ciudad Juarez next week.  Our legal advisor told us to update our DS-260. And our interview letter said "Each applicant must complete the Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration (Form DS-260)."  We've already completed it but some of the information has changed in the 2 years since.  I logged into CEAC and opened the DS-260 and all the fields are locked. Uneditable.  Does anyone know how or if I can update the DS-260?

We received the appointment letter for my wife's visa interview. Very happy.  The interview is rescheduled from April 2020. The letter says "please complete for ds-260 prior to the interview".  We already completed the ds-260 in March 2019 and none of the information changed.  Are they asking us to redo the ds-260?  Our daughter also has an interview but hers is a new interview, she didn't have one scheduled before the pandemic and her letter doesn't mention ds-260.  Thanks for any help.

Hello! 
i just got my appointment for March 22nd. I called on friday and they offered me that date. I am going for a follow up interview that was originally scheduled for march 31st 2020. 
My waver was approved last year at the end of January. 
does anyone here has experience with  follow up appointments? I got a letter last year saying I need a new medical exam, fill up the DS-260 and thats it. 
If you guys have any recommendations on a follow up appointment please let me know. I’ll really appreciate it

Hi,  Can you tell me please what phone number you called.  I've tried to call the Juarez consulate and can only get recorded messages.

Thanks

My wife had an IR1 visa interview scheduled in Juarez for April 2020 canceled for the pandemic.  The Juarez consulate website now says all interviews for March and April 2020 have been rescheduled and if have not received a new appointment date contact the consulate.  I have contacted the consulate but they say 20 to 30 days for a response.  Any suggestions on what I should do next?  We have an appt with a lawyer next week.  Should I request a new appointment through ais.usvisa- info ?

Thanks for any help

Congratulations.  Was your case expidited?  How were you notified of the February appointment? email? I'm asking b/c we also had an April 2020 appointment canceled but we haven't heard anything new yet.

Thanks

Has anyone heard that on interviews at the Jarez consulate they will reject your application because your Joint sponsor isn't enough even though their income puts them well over the poverty level for the number of people sponosred?  A lawyer told this to my wife, I think he is trying to scare her into hiring him.

We were domiciled in another country when we filed DCF.  Bank accounts, credit cards, retirement accounts, and a family member’s address where all that was mailed to was enough to establish intent.

Thanks for the response but when was your interview? We are being told that in the past yes but, now all petitioners with foreign domicile are rejected. Can anyone confirm?  Thanks 

My wife and daughter are applying for US permanent residence.  We live in Mexico.  We were advised by a lawyer in San Diego that for all cases in Ciudad Juarez, if the petitioner shows intent to reestablish domicile but is not in fact domiciled in the US at the time of the interview, the visa application is rejected.  Does anyone know if this is true?  Thanks for any replies.

As proof of domicile, I wrote a letter stating we will establish domicile once we have the permanent resident visas.  I noted that I have a driver's license in Callifornia, a car registered in California and active bank accounts.  I submitted the letter for both my wife and daughter, the same letter.  For my wife's case the letter was accepted and she is awaiting the date for her visa interview.  In my daughters case the letter was first accepted than changed to rejected with a message saying 'Please provied proof of domicile"  I don't know if I should rework the letter and resubmit or email the NVC to ask why the letter is accepted for one and not the other.  But if I do this could they than reject the letter in my wife's case?

Thanks for any advice

Attached is the letter
