I…
am very frustrated with the process. My brother petitioned for me and my family in 1997. During the pandemic a visa was made available- I retained legal counsel, and paid and submitted the DS260 + IV fee…
well, my legal counsel never told me how/when to set up an appointment and my visa lapsed.
i was able to appeal the decision and my “place in line” was reinstated.
After a lot of tedious back and forth with NVC I was able to submit my DS260 + Fees + civil documents.
my wife and daughter are “follow to join,” my brother does not have the income now, to bring us all over, his family has grown since… 1997.
i was under the impression that I wouldn’t need to pay IV fees or submit DS260’s for my wife and daughter until after I immigrated to the US.
i keep on getting notices from CEAC to pay IV fees for them, when I send public inquiries I get useless responses,”just wait we’ll send a message to your ceac mailbox.”
can someone steer me right?
we’re so close… I’ve submitted d everything correctly since June… and I’m still in a back and forth.
my civil documents show as approved, but no one’s looked at the Affidavit of support.
