    The OP didn't say they were studying in the US? So not sure OPT will be an option. @Zidane2, as said above, a multi-national company is going to be your best bet, but it's obviously a large cost and hassle for any company to sponsor you, so you'll need to get some good work experience and specialist skills behind you first. Work your way up, and look at it as a long term plan. Good luck.

    It's nothing to do with country. There are only a certain number of visas available for that category (worldwide), so there is a huge backlog before your children can even apply for a visa. You need to look at the Visa Bulletin (it's released monthly) to see what the latest is, but expect it to take many years. You've not answered the question above, is she married? If so, it's even longer.
  3. appleblossom
    Yes, they cannot issue a visa until then as the quota has been reached for this year. Hopefully you'll get your passport back in the first week in October. Good luck.

    Oh, yes that would do it! Hopefully an easy check though, but which consulate? Some are more efficient than others.
  5. appleblossom
    Yes, and as I said above it means exactly what it says, they’re just reviewing your request. That IS the Admin Processing.
  6. appleblossom
    It’s not going to harm anything to ask. What was the missing document?
  7. appleblossom
    The October VB is for the start of the new fiscal year though.
  8. appleblossom
    Exactly as it says - the documentation you submitted (the expedite request) is under review.

    As above, it's one step at a time. It's in the instructions - https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/PDF-other/Uploading to CEAC-instrucions.pdf "You will not be able to upload any civil documents for a visa applicant until he/she has submitted the immigrant visa application. It will say N/A (not applicable) in the Civil Documents column until the Form DS-260 immigrant visa application is completed on CEAC."

    Option no. 1 would make the most sense, do you already have a H2B job/visa though?
  11. appleblossom
    OK. If you do actually get your green card in 2 months (as above, that estimate is notoriously unreliable, but you never know) then your timescales will need adjusting. If you are on a green card rather than H1B, then you'll have to petition her for an immigrant visa (via consular processing), and that will take many years. So you either need to marry asap, and apply for her H4 as a matter of urgency, or rethink her moving next year as it will take much longer before she can move to join you without a visa allowing her to do so. Good luck.

    When is she actually hoping to move to the US?
  13. appleblossom
    Oh, I see. I just did that online too, turned down the data from the 30GB or whatever we had before to a much smaller amount to keep costs down. But we didn't have contracts, we just buy nearly new refurbished phones and then do SIM only deals, there are four of us (two adults and two teens) so it's saved us thousands over the years! So if you're in a contract then I think you'd just have to let that run until the end and then switch to SIM only.

    You mean the US side? I just signed up online, I use Mint Mobile. I did it from the UK before we left, so that as soon as we landed I had the US number active, and I could also give it to people before I moved so they had my contact info stateside.

    It's perfectly normal. AP can take a week, a month, or a year. Nothing to do but wait it out I'm afraid. Good luck.
  16. appleblossom
    Yes. They have to be paid from a US source (just in case you need to juggle money around ahead of time). Depends - the link above gives you the full list.
  17. appleblossom
    All the info you need is here - make sure you look at the country specific documents as well. 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
  18. appleblossom
    Ah. That may mean a visa hasn't been issued to you before the cut off as you weren't approved before the 9th. But all you can do is keep an eye on the status and see if it changes to approved/issued, good luck.
  19. appleblossom
    As above, you were just before the quota was reached. But what does your status say? If it says 'issued' then you've got the visa.
  20. appleblossom
    Everybody is put in to Admin Processing. But for most it's a very quick process of final checks (my status was only AP for a couple of hours before it changed), and nothing to worry about. Yours may stay as AP until the end of the month, as there is no visa available to you anyway, the next status would normally be 'approved' and 'issued', but neither of those are possible at the moment. Good luck.
  21. appleblossom
    CV is fairly standard for certain occupations, either your job is on the TAL list, or they suspect a previous one is. Unfortunately if you're in extended AP due to your job and/or your country of origin, it's likely to take longer anyway so I wouldn't worry about the quota being reached for now. Best of luck.
  22. appleblossom
    The OP can sponsor him if he's over 21 as well, green card holders can sponsor unmarried adult children. But it's still a heck of a long wait.
  23. appleblossom
    Those things don't mean your PD is current. What date in July 2007? I thought you said above you were India, but see now you're Pakistan. I think you're just expecting things too soon, if it was only reaffirmed in April.
  24. appleblossom
    I'm not anybody's brother. You were unable to access the page because your PD isn't current. It still isn't, there is no visa available to you yet.
  25. appleblossom
    You say petition was only reaffirmed in April 2024? So how is that 3 years? Is 2024 a typo? Which country were you born in and what is your exact PD?
