    Once the I-130 is approved it is up to the beneficiaries to continue, they need to complete the DS-260's etc, and yes, it will be one for each of them. They will be sent instructions with the Welcome Letter, or they can follow the step by step process here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

    You can check to make sure you're still within normal processing times here - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ As long as you've not gone over that (I doubt it if it's only been 204 days) then try not to worry, you won't have been forgotten. Good luck, hope you hear soon.

    What name was on the first one?

    So why has the I-90 been submitted? Application process for what?

    What program are you using to fill it in? Is is Adobe Reader? There should be room. But even if there isn't, it's not a big deal. If you feel you want to include the country code and your PDF program won't let you then either (a) just leave that bit blank then fill it in by hand (b) put the full number in the 'additional information' section at the end.

    Unless the ‘false documents stuff’ is anything that has been used to claim the OP is a USC at any point. Then it’s a whole different ball game and would likely mean a lifetime ban with no waiver available.

    If you're moving at the end of July then you should have plenty of time. For residency, a bank account statement, or your SSN with address on it (if it does get mailed), or utility bill will be fine. We didn't need our SSN's to get utility accounts opened in our names. A learners permit would be good too. Good luck.

    **Thread moved to Bringing Family Member of US Citizens to America forum, as question is about eligibility as a petitioner with assets**

    I think he does if he's from Tunisia - check on the country specific interview guidelines on the usual NVC website though. But if you submit his docs quickly then he's likely to be DQ'ed by July, so he may well still have enough time on it by the time he has his interview. And if not, at least it buys you some more time to get the passport updated. My son had one passport number on his DS-260, and then a new one by his interview. Wasn't an issue at all. Remember that some countries are 2+ years from DQ to interview date, so it's really not unusual to have a different passport number by the time the interview rolls around. Good luck.

    Ah, I see. Thanks for updating your timeline to change it now.
  11. appleblossom
    You can. It can be updated at interview, so don't worry about that. It looks as though Tunis is pretty quick for interviews, so he may have entered the US before his passport expires anyway?
  12. appleblossom
    Are you from the UK? If so you can request a second passport. It would be really helpful if you could fill in your timeline, thx.
  13. appleblossom
    I don't know why you're freaking out. You did exactly what you were supposed to do, and as long as you didn't lie at any point then there's no issue.
  14. appleblossom
    OK, so not dual intent. And does she have the 2 year home residency requirement on it?
  15. appleblossom
    What do you think the problem is? As long as you informed the interviewing officer then that's fine, no misrepresentation has occurred and you can petition him.
  16. appleblossom
    You can marry anytime, and no need to wait the 90 days to file either. What work visa is she on? I think you'd struggle to argue that 'things changed upon arrival' given you've previously asked about marrying and petitioning her, so is the visa dual intent?
  17. appleblossom
    It sounds like they won't be able to stay in the UAE as his job is ending. As @Boiler said, I don't think they'll qualify for asylum in the UK though, but that's probably a question for another forum!
  18. appleblossom
    Yes, you can absolutely do that. You only get 6 months from the date of your medical to enter the US on your immigrant visa, so lots of people do that and then return home to wrap things up. You'll be asked for your address in the US when you arrive, but probably won't even be asked how long you'll be staying (I certainly wasn't).
  19. appleblossom
    That was my though too. @goughying0912, exactly what ‘fake documents’ are we talking about?
  20. appleblossom
    The paralegal was wrong! Frankfurt is pretty quick so you may well have your interview before your anniversary, but all you need to do it wait to enter the US until after your anniversary. I’d leave it a few days afterwards, as we’ve seen people travel the day after or even the same day and then have to get their green cards corrected as the immigration officer has calculated it wrongly.
  21. appleblossom
    My point was that your PD isn’t current yet, so you can’t receive an interview. The date on the current Visa Bulletin is 1st Jan 2022, so only those that applied prior to that date are eligible for visas.
  22. appleblossom
    I think it’s the change in administration that will make this not matter. If you don’t get citizenship until 2027, and if it’s still a 2+ year wait for an interview in Lagos, then by then we’ll have a new administration so the ban isn’t likely to still be in place.
  23. appleblossom
    Very unlikely, but you can keep an eye on current processing times here - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
  24. appleblossom
    Yep, spotted that just after I posted - don’t know how I missed it first time around!
  25. appleblossom
    It’s exactly the same, just with a different consulate. But loads of people live in a different country to the one(s) they have citizenship in, it’s no biggie. You do need to adjust your expectations on timing though, it’s approx 14-17 months just for the first stage (the I-130), then the visa application follows. And because of the country your fiancée is from, there may be extra background checks which will add more time.
