    Processing times for them to be DQ’ed are here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html Once the cases have been DQ’ed the wait for an interview varies hugely by consulate, it can be anywhere between a couple of months to a couple of years. No idea where Jamaica is on that spectrum (assuming that’s where they’ll be interviewing) but you can search the forum timelines for an idea. You can also contact NVC and ask that the two cases be linked so that their interviews are together. Good luck.

    It seems to usually be pretty accurate (ours was pretty much to the day), but note it’s only updated once a week. You can also check recent timelines on VJ - please do ‘pay it forward’ and complete yours too, thanks.

    OK, so your case isn’t current yet. The date for the Philippines in this month’s bulletin is 1st January 2005, so probably another 3-5 years to go. Good luck.

    If the waiver hasn’t been granted then do you mean you’re going to wait two years then apply for the F-1? If enough time passes it shouldn’t be an issue. More pertinent will be things like the course you want to do, your existing education level, your country (and the ties you have to it), and the funds available.

    You’ll be given a list of things to bring when you book it, but it’s also on their website - https://visamedicals.co.uk/united-states/ Please do fill in your timeline! Thx.

    Sorry, I missed this. It’s the date NVC received your case from USCIS.
  22. appleblossom
    Then sounds like that’s the way to go, it should make it much quicker than Lagos. Best of luck.
  23. appleblossom
    Ah, I see, you said EB-2 not EB-2 NIW so I assumed you had a job offer. If you’ll genuinely be moving back to Germany and living/working there, then you can ask once you’ve moved. Good luck.
  24. appleblossom
    Why did you transfer to Lagos? There’s no minimum time to be in a country for a consulate to accept a case, most just require proof of residency but can refuse if they wish - they’re not obligated to accept a case. Yes, 2 years is normal for Lagos. Your DQ isn’t relevant as you weren’t eligible for a visa until this month anyway. As above, when does your employer want you to start? If they want you sooner they may have to sort you a temporary visa. Is it a company transfer, maybe L1 would be better?
  25. appleblossom
    Because you’ve filed your AOS/I-485 - the OP hasn’t.
  26. appleblossom
    Given you’d have to be resident/working/living in Germany for a while before Frankfurt would accept a transfer then it would probably be pointless as I’m guessing you’re some way in to the wait at Lagos? Plus you might get stuck in Germany due to AP if you’re from Nigeria, so that could be another lengthy wait, probably not worth risking. When were you DQ’ed? Please do fill in your timeline, thx. And when does your employer want you to start work? If they’re not prepared to wait for you to go through the EB-2 process then would they sort a temporary employment based visa maybe so you could get to the US sooner?

    It’s not anywhere near as long as Lagos, but do you live in Germany? What’s your Priority Date?
  29. appleblossom
    No, you haven’t - click on ‘Timeline’ on your profile or next to any of your posts and it’s blank. If you could take 5 mins to fill it that would be super helpful. And just trying to help, I’ve given you the official link that tells you you need a new police cert. Not sure why you’d dismiss that.

    Depends on the reason for the 221g and what background checks still need to he done. Not helpful I know but it can be anywhere from days to months to even longer. There’s no set timescale but assuming there’s nothing else needing checking hopefully it won’t be too long. Please fill in your timeline to help others whilst you’re waiting. Good luck.
  31. appleblossom
    You’ve not said which consulate (please fill in your timeline) but assuming it’s London you’ll be interviewed at then go to the country specific guidelines on the usual NVC website - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/enus-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/LND-London.html Hope that helps.
