Interview Amsterdam or Frankfurt?
limegreenbowler replied to Heeij93's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/FRN-Frankfurt.html As of May 2024, the U.S Embassies Zagreb, Croatia; Bratislava, Slovakia; Ljubljana Slovenia; Nicosia, Cyprus; and the U.S. Consulate General Amsterdam, the Netherlands will cease routine immigrant visa (IV) services. The U.S. Consulate General Frankfurt has been designated to conduct IV services for these posts in the following categories: immediate relative, family preference, employment based, fiancée/fiancé (K), follow-to-join asylees/refugees (V92/V93), and diversity visas (DV). For more information, visit the following website. NVC probably hasn't updated its form letter yet, but it looks like you will do the process in Frankfurt. -

H1B Previous conviction

The real beneficiaries of F4 are any under-21 nieces and nephews you have when the priority date becomes current. Almost any sibling filed for as an adult is going to be too old to want to start over in the US.

Married F2B getting approved, New Law?

I think in those cases you'd either see an annulment or some other legal finding that the marriage was never valid to begin with, and I imagine that government lawyers looked at the case and said this was an exception that met the law. I think the distinction between law and regulation in this case is a little silly--the law is written in broad strokes and cannot account for every eventuality, and in our system it's up to executive branch agencies to write regulations about how to implement the law. In this particular case, given that there is no provision for married sons or daughters of LPRs to have a category of their own (whereas there are for adult children of citizens), a clear reading of the law indicates there was no intent by Congress for them to be able to immigrate, and so the petition in cancelled. Any applicant would be able to litigate this, but given that they're going against more than 50 years of the law as implemented, I don't think there's any chance of success.
