    So your wife had the original marriage cert? That's fine then. Not necessarily. She could still be put in to extended AP, but them taking the passports is a good sign. You just can't assume anything, only wait until the CEAC status changes to 'issued'. Did they give her a verbal approval?
  2. appleblossom
    OK. Unless things speed up it will probably hinge on how long the I-130 takes to be processed then - keep your fingers crossed it's not quick! Good luck.

    I'm confused, you say 'I guess they didn't have our documents' but then say they scanned them? You have to take the documents on the checklist (mainly originals of the ones you've uploaded to NVC) to the interview, but it does sound like you've done that. The online status will say refused or AP whilst final checks are done, and then change to 'issued', usually within just a day or two. As long as it's a straightforward case and not a high risk consulate, hopefully it will be super quick. Good luck.

    It would depend on why the I-485 was denied. If it was USCIS error, then correct the I-290B and file again. If not, then you'll have to correct and refile the AOS whole package.

    I don’t think I-290b is relevant as you’ve said you didn’t provide proof of citizenship, so it wasn’t USCIS error. I’d just file again asap. Good luck.
  6. appleblossom
    Ok, so the 90 days is from when you paid the fee. What does the online status say?
  7. appleblossom
    Don’t wait for anything! You need to submit asap to try and avoid the older one aging out. As said above, you can just use a copy of the endorsed visa. When does the older one turn 19 - is s/he only just 18, or about to turn 19?
  8. appleblossom
    Can you tell us exactly what you did include for evidence of citizenship/tax info? You'll either need to file again, or file a I-290B if it's a USCIS error, but if you can give more info on what you included, somebody can help you figure out which may be best.
  9. appleblossom
    Yes, that will apply. But it'll take a while for their Priority Dates to become current, so you won't be able to work that out yet. All you can do is wait and see how long the I-130 takes to process and then when they become eligible for a visa.

    If you're in Las Vegas then that'll be your Field Office I assume, but check on the link above.

    No, it's based on your address. https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/field-offices
  12. appleblossom
    It depends on the Field Office, you can check processing times here though - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

    Was that on the 'MyUSCIS' account thingy? That's horribly unreliable unfortunately, it was about a year back then. Now it's 14-15 months so it has gone up a bit. But as you're in the US and didn't misrepresent yourself at the POE, you're fine to do AOS if that's what you prefer. Depends on where you want to wait the rest of the process out and if what you have in Canada that you need to be able to visit I guess (i.e. if you had kids in Canada you may not want to do AOS and risk not being able to leave the US). Good luck. True, although at least that's much quicker these days. Something is at least. 😂

    Depends on what you'd prefer really then. If you don't want to be stuck in the US then apply via consular processing and go back to Canada whenever your visit is up for your interview/medical. Or you can apply via AOS in the US if you're happy to not work and not be able to leave for a while. Good luck.
  15. appleblossom
    Ah, sorry, my misunderstanding. I thought s/he was in Canada.
  16. appleblossom
    Are you sure? If you applied for AOS the whole package would normally have been filed alongside the I-130. The problem you now have is that it's illegal to enter the US as a visitor if your actual intention is to try and stay, which would obviously be the case if you went back now to apply for AOS.
  17. appleblossom
    When you say you entered as a visitor, are you Canadian? If you are, then yes, you can do consular processing, and that would be the right way to do it if you're outside the US now.
  18. appleblossom
    I just wondered if you’d applied for them back when you became a citizen or when you petitioned your parents. It’ll be quicker if your parents petition then but you might want to as well - awful to think about I know but just in case your parents aren’t around. And yes, separate petitions. As above, your eldest sibling may age out but all you can do is wait and see. Good luck.

    If you are resident in Saudi then you can request a consular transfer. Why has it taken you so long to get DQ'ed when your PD has been current for many years?
  20. appleblossom
    I would suggest that if they have the funds to pay for four lots of I-130 fees, ideally both of them should - just in case something happens to one of them, so you have a back up. They can get joint sponsors if they don't qualify financially. Have you petitioned for your siblings as well?
  21. appleblossom
    Ah, I didn't realise they'd only just arrived. You can track the green card by putting the receipt number from when they paid the GC fee in to here - https://egov.uscis.gov But as @milimelo has said, their endorsed visas act as temporary green cards for a year anyway so they don't need the physical card yet. They should file I-130's for the children asap, there's a chance the older one will age out in to F2B category which will add many more years on to his/her wait. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    It's exactly the same process as when you filed for them. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html But will just take much longer as they're green card holders and so the children aren't immediate relatives of citizens. When can your parents apply for citizenship?
  23. appleblossom
    Afraid I have no idea, I don't understand why you were interviewed in November tbh. Normally any DV applications that haven't had a visa issued by 30th September are dead in the water.
  24. appleblossom
    The election is over now - naturalisation applications are no longer a priority. One month was super quick even with cases being sped up, but you can check processing times here to give you an idea of how long it's likely to take now. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Good luck.
  25. appleblossom
    Yes, you need to leave section 1 empty if you're filing a motion rather than an appeal. And presumably should have been 2C rather than 2B? But hard to know for sure without knowing details, I'm not sure what you're filing for. Good luck.
