Hi, yes. Im just waiting for my mom’s requirements so we can get the interview date.

By any chance did you request an expedite on your case at uscis?

In that case you may need to update the I-864 and any documents that have expired. Police clearances are only valid for a short period and 2x2 pictures are only good for 6 months.

Thankyou so much. So we should just update the i- 864 even though he is already DQ since October 2021

By any chance, do you think we can also do that with F2A case? Cause my nephew was already approved since October 2022 and its still on NVC.. NVC told us the same that theres no available appointment at the consulate.

You can try - on the Visa Bulletin, F2A is current.- it is also a matter of available visas for that category, which I believe has a yearly quota. (I could be wrong)

I mean October 2021 not 2022..

You can contact NVC to expedite his case.

 

But first - you need to make sure your documents and forms on CEAC are current. Update your I-864 with the most recent tax year (2021) and update the supporting documents (2021 IRS tax transcript, 2022 W2, optionally you can also add 2020 and 2019 IRS tax transcripts and three months of paystubs). Your dad's NBI clearance will also need to be updated (they are only good for a year) as well as his 2x2 photos (those are good for 6 months). If you need to update your DS-260, you need to contact NVC to 

request them to reopen the form.

 

Once you have made those updates, request the expedite by email NVCExpedite@state.gov

 

NVC will forward your request to the Embassy and they will make the decision - I have no doubt they will approve this - your dad has been in a queue a long time.

 

I joined an FB group of IR5 Visa Journey folks, and many of them are Filipinos who have taken action on their own cases - because in you wait for the Embassy to do the scheduling, you will wait far longer.

 

Hope this helps.

Hello my fellow VJ members,

 

I created this topic for my fellow January 2022 filers for our parents to share our experiences on processing.
 

 

 

Petitioning my Mother

Filed online: January 18,2022

Processing: Texas Service Center

 

I’m not quite sure how long is the processing for the I-130 for Parents.

 

 

Goodluck to us!

Any update on your case? Does NVC already forward it to the consulate?
