Congrats. Please do fill in your timeline, so that others searching can find it. Thx.

Why not just try? Nobody can tell you for sure, all you can do is apply and see what happens. Your mother is still decades away from her visa anyway.

Unless you are already in the US on another status, you can't do AOS anyway. Australia is currently quicker than Montreal so if you'll be resident in Australia, it would be worth transferring your case there if you can. But Montreal is speeding up, it's now less than 2 years for EB applicants. Good luck.

Just another thought, might be worth checking photos to see if you have any of you wearing the clothes in question from more than 6 months ago. That would soon solve any query.

Never rely on Facebook for immigration info! As your father is a USC and you're an immediate relative, your age was 'locked in' at the time of your I-130 submission, you can't age out. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/child-status-protection-act-cspa

I'm afraid I can't help with that, as we had a 40ft shipping container - I'm sure you're moving in to a home with your husband that is already full, but we had an empty house and didn't want the cost of buying everything new, and we also wanted the kids to have all of their familiar stuff around them to help them settle. So I'm not sure about packages unfortunately. But as long as your clothes don't have labels on them, I think putting them as used on the inventory would be fine. And we did bring vitamins, our packers had no issue with that. Good luck! Hope the move goes smoothly.

You don’t split the difference, each will need their own petition and so the amount will differ.

It’s illegal in Mexico too.

Ah, ok. It was just that you’ve only ever said ´my visa/interview/medical’ etc (singular) - so assumed only you had applied for a visa and not your daughter too. Not sure there’s a lot you can do on the flight then, I sympathise as I had the same last year (waited for my children to finish their GCSE’s & A Levels before moving). We moved in July as my children didn’t want to rush off straight after exams, they wanted to relax a bit with friends first. But the only thing I can suggest is that you search using a tool like Skyscanner, using their whole month search, to find the cheapest date. And don’t look for one way flights, which are always more expensive - get a return on the cheapest possible date then just cancel it. Good luck.

You can't divorce her if you're not married to her.

I assume your daughter isn't moving (just as you mention 'my visa' rather than 'our visas')? So she's just visiting with you - could she maybe visit another time so you could travel before flights increase in price? Have a look at MoveCube, that may work for you. Good luck.

As you've been told above, it will be a problem. She's not your wife so can't get a derivative visa from you.

Yes, of course you're single - your second marriage wasn't legal. Which is why you need to remarry her if you want her to become your legal spouse.

'Brother' is quite presumptuous! Lots of us are female. Your current wife isn't your wife, so you'd need to remarry her if you wanted her to become your legal spouse. I've no idea if there would be any issue with the bigamy you committed though. Where were you born, Mexico or Morocco? Or somewhere else?

Also, just to mention in case you're not aware - your son cannot get married before getting a visa, otherwise he becomes ineligible as there is no category for married children of LPR's. He could get married if you become a citizen, but probably still doesn't want to as it would make his wait even longer. So you might want to advise him to remain unmarried until he's in the US.

Follow the official guide - https://www.uscis.gov/family/bring-children-to-live-in-the-US And the VJ guide as well - https://www.visajourney.com/guides/ Good luck.

Even the quickest consulates are 1-2 months after DQ, and some have a 2+ year wait for an interview. I’ve no idea where Havana sits in the scale though and a forum search didn’t find any other timelines for that consulate either. Good luck to both of you, if you could fill in your timelines then it would be incredibly helpful for other Cuban applicants that follow.

All you can do is wait and see and do the opposite of what most people on VJ do - hope you don’t get a speedy approval! Good luck.

The trouble is you can’t calculate it until you know how long the I-130 takes to be approved. It can be much quicker than the quoted processing times - example below where another forum member had one in the same category approved in 5 months at the end of last year. Or of course it could take even longer.

Ditto on both counts! My only concern is my mother-in-law…..maybe we'll hold off on citizenship even if we do stay long enough to be eligible. 😂😂 Seems the OP has asked this question before and had some good answers.

Even if the sister was adopted by another family? And more like 30+ years if it's the Philippines I'd guess.

You couldn't do that anyway. Personally I wouldn't cancel the I-130 unless you know for sure you can get a job offer/employer/TN visa.

Oh I've no idea then I'm afraid. @Captain Ewok may be able to help.

The doctor has nothing to do with the waiver. You'd need to apply for it separately (I-601), adds about a year to the process.

That sounds like it may be your SCR anyway. As long as it's not pages and pages of info (I vaguely recall it was 6 pages that Visa Medicals said was the max) then that should be fine.
