    Please take the time to read the responses you’ve been given previously when you’ve asked this question. You need to check the Visa Bulletin regularly, but there’s still many years to go

    If your PD is 2016 then there’s no visa available to you now anyway. What category does your online case status show?

    Hi, you've replied to two really old posts so the people you've quoted aren't likely to see your comment. Did you have any questions anybody can help with? When did you pay your green card fee? And what does your online status say?

    So you just take the updated ones to the interview, no need to upload them.

    Definitely file for FOIA to find out what's going on, but as said above, she absolutely can work, or study. If an employer isn't prepared to hire her without a green card then they're breaking the law. They have to accept her EAD as evidence of her right to work so you just need to educate them.

    What documents do you want to update? You'd normally just take them to the interview, NVC has nothing to do with it once the case has been transferred to the consulate.

    What is your home country? Where are you now?

    If a doctor really says she is unable to travel (although I'd question why if she's just pregnant, and doesn't have any pregnancy related medical issues?), then she could file to adjust status as that would give you a perfectly good reason to. But it would have to be spontaneous and not a pre-conceived plan, so I wouldn't research it too much as that could come back to bite you. Make sure she doesn't give anything up and keeps all her UK ties when she comes to visit.

    Thank you. 🙂

    In return, please fill in your timeline. The more EB applicant timelines we have to add to the body of knowledge on VJ for us employment based applicants, the better. Thx.

    It will delay things a bit unfortunately, she should have picked London if she’s in the UK rather than Ireland. Timing will depend on the type of case.

    Mine was 4 working days from interview to receiving the passport with visa in. That seems to be fairly standard, they say to allow 10 days but it never seems to take that long. But AP could take a lot longer, so it will depend on when your status changes to ‘issued’. Good luck.

    That's tougher than mine was - two questions, one was what I was going to do in the US, and the other I don't even remember! I did share my questions and answers somewhere after my interview though.

    This is where the confusion has arisen, lots of talk from the OP of a 'visa', but I think he means ESTA/VWP. But either way the Singaporean friend isn't going to get a new 90 days by going to Mexico, and is risking being refused entry if he tries to come straight back to the US wherever he goes.

    There's no visa available to you as your PD isn't current, so no interview can be scheduled. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-september-2024.html

    It's a contiguous territory though, so doesn't reset anything.

    Is this her first visit to the US since her child was born? If so, she should expect to be questioned upon entry about why she was out of the US for so long and how she's maintained her LPR status - so make sure she takes plenty of proof of ties to the US, tax returns filed, bills being paid, an address being maintained there, etc.

    That's perfectly normal, everybody goes through Administrative Processing. For most people it's approved very quickly (my online status only said Admin Processing for a couple of hours before changing to Approved), but for others it can take longer. No way of knowing how long yours will take, just keep an eye on your status and fingers crossed it will change soon. Good luck.
  19. appleblossom
    Seems about right to me, a year is pretty standard.
  20. appleblossom
    OK, so 3.5 years ish for I-130 approval, and you’re now 24? I’d double check using a CPSA calculator but I think you’re now F2B category, so not current.
  21. appleblossom
    If it says ‘in process’ then that would imply it’s gone through - mine said ‘in process’ for 4 days then switched to ‘paid’. But give it a week (as per the link above), hopefully it will change before then. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    ‘In process’ is normal for at least a couple of days. It takes up to a week for payment to go through. “After submitting your payments online, please allow up to 1 week for NVC to process your fees before continuing to the next step. You will not be able to access Form DS-260 until NVC has processed your payments.” https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-3-pay-fees/nvc-fee-payment-faqs.html#:~:text=This typically takes two to,DS-260 Immigrant Visa Application.

    Sounds like you’ve aged out then and are now F2B - as Boiler’s said, you’re a way off your PD being current for that category. When was your I-130 approved?
  24. appleblossom
    If it says in process then why do you think there’s a problem? Sounds perfectly normal unless it was more than a week ago that you paid?
  25. appleblossom
    Thanks for that. My parents have a Nationwide account (no idea if MIL does), but the coverage wasn't enough I think. I'll have look at StaySure though.
