  1. USCIS is under no obligation to waive your interview. they assess your application, and probably determined that they did not find your evidence sufficient to waive. see https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-i-chapter-3
  2. Well, I-130 is already immigrant intent, so you're really not convincing anyone that U4U is temporary for you - plus, two years parole is likely within the boundaries of I-130 processing (seems like you are close already). hard to tell if one will impact the other, but it might be perceived as trying to cut in line (this is me hypothesizing - it's all up to USCIS/CBP to determine). Your bigger concern should be travel. AFAIK parole is one entry - you are paroled into the US, and then live here for the dureation of u4u... so if you/your family leave, you might need a new travel document to re-enter.
  3. see: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/won-the-diversity-visa-lottery-filing-green-card-the-us.html keep in mind that the difference here is that humanitarian parole is not immigration status, so she might need to leave and do the interview.
  4. DHS mentioned on their site that it's 90 days. https://www.dhs.gov/ukraine
  5. to clarify, I was mostly refering to using that as tie to UK, not that they are allowed to work in uS
  6. That generlay is the situation for a lot people on this forum... this is not a reason to expedite short of exceptional circumstances (health, livelihood, etc.) I would also look into ways for your significant other to come to the UK and live with you there for a bit.
  7. Depends. Because you are self-employed, you can always technically leave and work anywhere, so it's not as strong of an argument... that said, the more proof you have to ties to UK, the better
  8. read up: https://www.stilt.com/blog/2020/05/form-n-14/
  9. Not only that, but this will also raise questions that would be very hard to justify... 1. Why do you need a visa if you have VWP access? 2. Why are you applying for B2 with a pending CR-1?
  10. You need US income and assets, not Canadian... Given your circumstances you seem to need a joint sponsor who has US presence and financial assets...
  11. No other application than going the visa process. Entering the US with a pending immigrant visa application can cause issues, but it'll be up to you to convince the CBP officer that you are not planning on staying or doing something that is not within the limits of the VWP
  12. On what basis would you be filing I-129 if you already filed for spousal petition?
  13. I would be genuiinely be interested to confirm whether they are eligible or not. Because... Because technically they do have a refugee travel document, which is the humanitarian parole (IDK if that classifies), and also parole is not an immigration status, and AFAIK this is not TPS:
  14. Using this as a reference (applicable to other locations too) https://jp.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/ceac-status-check-iv-k/ There's a separate status for "returned to nvc" so it is still undergoing admin processing most likely if they did not return the passport.
  15. no. refused = administrative processing. OP can read the description in CEAC to see that. what you are referring to is denied, which is very different...
  16. this is administrative processing and has minimal to do with the embassy and a lot with the background check/administrative processing of the application - that can take a month, a day, or a year, depending on case and circumstances.
  17. that's the interpretation from USCIS - your best bet is to call them (which you are already doing), however the program conditions are explicitly designed for those who hold a Ukrainian passport, so I wouldn't be surprised if they only issue one travel authorization.
  18. This actually might be an issue... see: https://www.rescue.org/announcement/uniting-ukraine-info-and-faqs
  19. nothing you can do - if he is part of the VWP program, travel is easier without a visa but ultimately it's up to him to overcome any asumptions that he is there to immigrate. you won't know until he travels
  20. Keep in mind that advance parole might not be an option for Ukrainians paroled into the US using the "Uniting for Ukraine" program. The parole is permission to enter the US at that specific time with additional restrictions on validity (period during which it's active). It might be possible to use it multiple times, but that's dependent on the received documents and their conditions, which we haven't yet seen (at least on this forum and publicly...). beyond the employment authorization, I don't see if it grants any more benefits... Also, DHS says...
  21. try using a different browser than you do now (Safari, Firefox, Chrome
  22. you don't need to consult lawyers on this - waste of money... endorsed immigrant visa means you can use it for re-entry as you would a plastic card for a year after endorsement. it says so on the visa. you can exit and re-enter, but prepare to talk why you were gone (depending on how long you were gone) Yes - you will be sent to secondary
  23. You have to wait - there are folks with documents received last year that haven't yet receivd a decision...
