    Once married a spouse visa is their only option anyway. Figure about 2-3 years for a spouse visa in Pakistan as a rough guide.
  2. appleblossom
    OK, so you lived together before you moved in 2023? So that would be the date I'd put, you visiting the Philippines for a wedding wouldn't count as cohabiting.

    OK. I'd say chances are slim but she has more chance than if it was your wife (as I originally thought) IMO - as a spouse could adjust status but a sibling can't. So all she can do is try. Good luck.
  4. appleblossom
    Ah. Does she have a spouse and/or children? If so, she can take proof of them too to show she has to return, if asked.
  5. appleblossom
    Who's 'the sister'? Not sure how or why she's relevant for your wife's tourist visa? No, no vaccinations are required for a tourist visa. Yes, letter from employer, proof of property, any family to return too, even things like tickets for concerts or upcoming events. But as above, chances are they won't look at any of those anyway, but take them just in case.

    Which consulate? And where are you? If you're in the US and she's overseas, there may be little chance of her getting a tourist visa with an immediate relative there counting against her. She can take proof of as many ties as possible to her home country, but bear in mind she may not be asked for them, often the decision is made on the DS-160.

    I'd take that requirement with a pinch of salt. We've now had 8 visas delivered to our home address from the London consulate, all have just been posted through the door. 😂
  8. appleblossom
    Just to confirm, this is a US bank account you're trying to make payment from?
  9. appleblossom
    Bottom line is that you no longer qualify for the visa, if the employer won't give you a job. I wouldn't bother going for the interview personally as it would just be a waste of time and money.

    The US immigration officers aren't likely to even know what a NOC A job is (not least because the old NOC skill levels have been replaced by the TEER system!), they won't care what your job is - only that you have one to return to. And as above, you must have given that info on the DS-160 anyway? Incidentally, if you're hoping for a skilled job in Canada so that you can stay longer and/or apply for PR, don't focus just on NOC A jobs - without any work experience that may be a stretch. B would do as well and you'd be surprised how many jobs fall under that category, even jobs that you wouldn't think are skilled. Although as above, note that they would now be called TEER's 2 and 3! Good luck.

    When you say 'we arrived in the US last January', does 'we' mean you and your spouse? Was your spouse just visiting, how long did they stay for?
  12. appleblossom
    I'm not sure which group you mean, but are you saying that you were DQ'ed 2 years ago and haven't got an interview yet?
  13. appleblossom
    Yes, wait until you are requested to do it so you only have to do it once more. As above, there is no set time. Good luck.
  14. appleblossom
    Then you're no longer eligible for a visa.
  15. appleblossom
    Ah, ok. AP would be expected at Islamabad, particularly if you're male, it's just background checks. It can take months or even years, nothing to do but wait it out. Good luck.
  16. appleblossom
    Yes, a job offer is absolutely required. I don't understand how the I-140 or labour cert have been approved if you don't have a job offer?
  17. appleblossom
    No, after that. Mine changed to 'in transit' a couple of days after I received my IL, they don't send your file until the interview has been scheduled. It was then 'ready' about 2 days after that IIRC. Odd if your spouse is a USC though. Standard case, you haven't transferred from another consulate or anything like that? And the date on your DQ email is definitely 11th April?
  18. appleblossom
    Which country are you resident in? You can’t just transfer unless you are living in the country, ‘consulate shopping’ isn’t permitted.
  19. appleblossom
    Nothing you can do but wait I’m afraid. AP can take months or even longer, you’ll be asked to have a new medical done at some point. Please fill in your timeline so that we know your info, which consulate did you interview at?
  20. appleblossom
    You were a transfer from another consulate though, so it will take a bit longer. @SourisMigratey, just checking but your spouse is a USC, not Green card holder? And your case won’t usually be transferred until after you have an IL, so don’t worry if it still says it’s at NVC. Normally it’s IL, then status changes to ‘in transit’, then finally ‘ready’.
  21. appleblossom
    Congrats! Best way you can give back is to fill in your timeline please, to help other EB applicants. There aren’t many of us so we need all the data we can get. Thanks and good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    Yes, it’ll all be on your medical record. You’ll need your Summary Care Record for the medical anyway, so maybe get that sooner rather than later so you know what extra vaccines you need to have. Also, please fill in your timeline, thanks.
  23. appleblossom
    Absolutely fine - 3 of us had new passports by the time of our interview, wasn't an issue at all.
  24. appleblossom
    Such a large gap is very unusual and would raise some suspicions anywhere in the world, but your case is coupled with applying via a high fraud consulate. How did you meet? How many times have you been together in person? And what evidence of a genuine relationship did you provide?
  25. appleblossom
    If you no longer want to be part of the forums, then just stopping posting would do it. But as above, if somebody else has a question, best to ask them to sign up for their own account.
