    Unfortunately that just comes under the 'original or certified copy version of all civil documents submitted to NVC'. When we sent our passports via DX (interview waiver) they were delivered within 5 working days, and then we had them back with the visas about a week later. So there's still a chance of you getting the visa before Christmas, although you do need to allow a bit more time for the paperwork to be checked. Fingers crossed for you and good luck.

    Please share your timeline too - put full details in about the visa etc, to help others. It's not an unreasonable delay yet, far too early for WOM.

    This thread is 2.5 years old, when F2A was current - that's no longer the case so any responses above won't necessarily be applicable now. Please start a new thread with your own situation and questions, and somebody will help.

    14, not 18.

    Agree with the above, filing a WOM this early is likely to get the case dismissed. I’d wait until a year at least.
  6. appleblossom
    That’s the opposite of what you originally said. @OldUser is spot on.

    Driving without insurance and a valid inspection certificate. No mention of speeding, but that wouldn’t show up on the police cert anyway. Seems the OP received a 6 month driving ban and fines.

    They ARE criminal offenses! As above - a traffic offence would be a speeding ticket, or driving with a busted taillight. Driving without insurance is criminal, not civil.

    OK, so your PD wasn't current until 1st July, you weren't added to the line for an interview until then. Interview sometime in 2026 sometime as a rough guess? Good luck.

    What is your Priority Date? (this is why it's helpful to have your timeline filled in!). And yes, your police cert will still be valid, you'll need to take the original to the interview.
  11. appleblossom
    As above, did you have a question? Please fill in your timeline to help other EB applicants and so we can help you better too, thanks.
  12. appleblossom
    You need to say yes - but as above, don't fill it in yet if you're waiting for your children's applications to catch up with yours.
  13. appleblossom
    Only criminal ones, not civil. So, for example, a speeding ticket wouldn't show up, but failure to pay the fine and going to court for that would. As above, it should be fine, but make sure you declare it on your DS-260 and don't downplay it if asked in your interview. Also, just to confirm you're not applying yet - your spouse has petitioned your children now and you're waiting until their applications catch up as per your previous threads? So that it's quicker for them? Good luck.

    When you go for your interview don’t try to minimalise those as ‘minor traffic violations’. A minor traffic violation would be a civil matter (and wouldn’t show up on your police cert). I can’t imagine any of them will cause you to need a waiver but definitely don’t try to downplay them. Be contrite.

    OK. I don't understand why a police cert from Nigeria wasn't required then.

    I don't think that would be money well spent personally. A lawyer can't speed AP up anyway, it takes as long as it takes. So OP would basically be paying somebody to be told the same thing as they've already been told anyway. @FaithinChrist, is your husband's country of birth Pakistan? An EB1 application with no lawyer is very unusual, did you have one for the initial petition?

    IL = Interview Letter (although it actually comes via email). Yes, you just have to wait now until he gets a date. I'm assuming you've seen this and been using it throughout the process but just in case you haven't, you're now at step 10. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html

    Which consulate? And just to confirm but you've done the DS-260, had an interview scheduled, and now you're just trying to register that interview?
  19. appleblossom
    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html Updated every week, but you should be hearing very soon, although Thanksgiving may delay things by a couple of days. Does your CEAC say all docs are acceptable? If you're trying to work out timescales for your husband to move, don't make any firm plans as there's a higher chance of AP in Montreal (see the Canada specific forum for more info). Good luck.

    You might want to point your lawyer in the direction of their website! https://ca.usembassy.gov/immigrant-visa-process/ As the website says, once you're DQ'ed (it's not clear if you are yet), it's currently approximately 3 months for an IL. You can keep an eye on the link above, they usually update it once a month or so.

    Agree with the above, there's no need for you to give birth in the US, and it wouldn't be terribly practical anyway. Far better to get your husband to come to you for the birth, and the baby should still be a USC at birth anyway, if your husband is eligible to pass his citizenship on. Good luck it all.

    Nearly 30% refusal rate last fiscal year. So no, it’s not.

    Why do you wish to return so quickly and for so long - do you have a significant other in the US you're visiting? Your chances of a B visa are very slim as you have ESTA available to you, unless you can show a specific reason for wanting to stay longer in the US. Whether you want to risk it is up to you, remember that if you get denied then you'd have to redo your ESTA and that would likely be denied too, so you may not be able to visit for quite some time. Trying to return in January or February could look like you're trying to live in the US without the proper visa. If you've only just come back after 3 months ish I wouldn't even consider trying to return until April at the earliest personally.

    If your wife wants to remain eligible for OHIP throughout the process, then consular processing would be the way to go so you might want to revisit the decision above.
  25. appleblossom
    OK, so just keep an eye on it, hopefully it'll be issued before too long. Good luck.
