L and D

I DQ on March 13, 2023. Transfer to different consulate on March 17, 2023. Wife (beneficiary) not a resident or citizen of the country where the new consulate is located. Got their permission via e-mail. NVC transferred after I provided documentation as to reason and permission. Still waiting for the Interview letter with the interview date.

Replied to RFE February 27, 2023 DQ March 13, 2023. (Got the email notification at midnight but the timestamp in messages is from the morning of March 13)

Not to my knowledge, no.

As it says in the heading. I'm the citizen petitioner. She's the foreign beneficiary. I've been married before and submitted my divorce decree, all pages. She's never been married before and yet they sent an RFE for her first marriage - final divorce decree. In response to their RFE I submitted my first marriage certificate in addition to my divorce decree. I'm thinking... how could they be asking for a divorce decree for someone never divorced? They rejected my marriage certificate and reiterated they want a "divorce decree, annulment, or death certificate for (spouse)" in a second RFE. What do they want? What is this nonsense?

We submitted our IV application on January 17. Still waiting to hear back.

My wife is Russian and we requested a Polish national visa, explaining our intent for visiting Poland for the immigrant visa interview. Even provided them copies of the documentation to prove it. The woman reviewed everything and sent it up the CoC. They wouldn't accept our application.

We're at the California Service Center. I-130 Stand alone. October 11th. Actively Reviewing since October 21. Consular Processing. Still waiting now past the estimated processing time on their website.

It means we're living abroad at the moment and my wife's immigration interview will take place at an embassy, not a local USCIS Field Office, and she'll be issued an immigrant visa to travel to the United States.

PD October 11. Actively Reviewing October 21. Consular Processing. California Service Center. Still waiting.

You can't do it from Russia. I don't know why you'd go back there. You'll have to go to Warsaw, Poland to apply. They have a Federal Benefits Unit at the Embassy there, where you can do the SSN. But you'll need the passport first, so that takes like 10 days to get. At least it took me about that long via the Embassy in Moscow in 2021. Then they'll make a certified, apostilled copy of the child's CRBA and passport when it comes in, and you'll use that for the SSN. Although, since they have the Federal Benefits Unit on site, the process may be more streamlined (I'm describing the process of getting the CRBA and passport in Moscow and having to go to Poland just for the SSN, which I didn't do. I applied during a trip to the US with those certified copies).

Yes, of course. I'm talking about just the initial enlistment process, not. Basic training.

Thank you for the response. Do you know where one could check wait times for immigrant visas? I see non immigrant but can't see tables for immigrant visas.

My Russian wife and I are going through the i130 process. We're both outside the United States and in our eighth month of waiting. We're under Consular Processing and our petition is at the California Service Center. We left Russia for obvious reasons but have been hanging around in eastern Europe for her consulate interview, which is supposed to be in Warsaw (Russian petitions go there by default). But now I'm enlisting into the Army and need to be closer to the US to make occasional trips to the states to do so. So we're moving to Mexico. It's just cheaper and faster from there than from Romania. And Russians can stay there for six months without a visa. Will we be able to ask the US Embassy in Mexico to conduct the visa interview when we get to that step?
