Not having insurance long long time ago
appleblossom replied to aa1979's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Which country was this in? Some countries would treat driving without insurance as a criminal offence and then yes, it absolutely must be mentioned. -
I think you’ve been told a load of nonsense by a call handler tbh. As @SalishSea said, your whole file must have been sent to the consulate otherwise an interview wouldn’t have been scheduled. And you know the reason they’re doing AP - if they didn’t have all the data from your petition they’d have asked other questions.

Green card and I-131.
appleblossom replied to JackDp's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
They are permanent residents of the US and are therefore expected to live there permanently to maintain that status. It sounds like they have never actually lived there in 6 years of holding green cards? They got off lightly IMO, sounds like the border officer was very lenient with them. What ties can they show to the US? Address, utility bills, bank accounts etc? Have they been filing their tax returns every year? If your parent don’t intend to live in the US anytime soon, it may be easier for them to relinquish their GC’s and for you to sponsor them again when they are ready to move and to make the US their permanent home. -
ds 260 civil docs question
appleblossom replied to Kyle6811's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You won't be documentarily qualified until you submit all the required docs. You'll still need to take the original cert to the interview though. -
OK, that's odd, as NA3 isn't mentioned in the exemption list (https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-immigrant-fee#Who_Pays_the_Fee). But if your son didn't pay it then I guess not, so I'd suggest you report it as non-received then - https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDCForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=ndc When did you leave the US, are you sure it hasn't been delivered in your absence? Do you have somebody opening your mail?
-
Previous processing times aren't really relevant. Currently it's at 17 months, so yes, you're well within normal processing times at the moment. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Just checking, you did file before you left the US? As for your daughter, her GC should have arrived within 90 days if you definitely paid the GC fee? What does the online status say for it?

Special Case
appleblossom replied to CJlove's topic in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits
Why will she need her passport for AR-11? She’ll need her A number but says above they have a copy of her passport which hopefully includes a copy of her visa. OP, which country is her passport from? -
The delay in sending the case to NVC will have made no difference as there's still a long wait ahead either way. But as you can see from the Visa Bulletin, married children of citizens cases are currently ahead of sibling cases by just over 18 months, so it may knock a bit of time off if your mother petitions for her too. You can both apply and then just wait to see whose petition gets to the front of the line first.
-
For what? Please give more details of the application so people can try and help.

You keep an eye on the Visa Bulletin (released monthly). Table A is what you need to look at to see when a visa will become available to her, when her PD is before that date - not sure which country she's in, but for most countries the date is 8th June 2007, so anybody that applied before that date is now able to get a visa https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-march-2024.html And as @Chancy said, Table B tells you when you can complete the NVC side of things, that's currently at 1st March 2008. Good luck.

Which is faster K1 or CR1?
appleblossom replied to leaaaaaaaaaaa1122's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Ah, I replied to this when it was posted on your F2B thread, hence the confusion. Up to you which is best to do, @Crazy Cat has given you the excellent list above to get you started. -
Which is faster K1 or CR1?
appleblossom replied to leaaaaaaaaaaa1122's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
It's not really clear what you're asking about - is your USC parent sponsoring your brothers? Who got married, who is 'we'? -
Priority dates (Merged)
appleblossom replied to Litnay's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
Are you asking anybody specific? Those who applied in the past will generally have a shorter wait than those applying now due to the increasing number of applicants and growing backlog. All you can do is keep an eye on the Visa Bulletin each month and see how/if it moves. And please fill in your timeline, that way people will know what your PD is and what category you're applying under when you ask questions. Good luck. -
Remember that the total number of issued visas includes the cap exempt F2A's, the unused visas from the previous FY are carried over and added to the next year's quota, those issued under military provisions don't count towards the quota (but will be included in the tables), that the per-country limitation on employment-based visa numbers can be lifted at any point, and that certain exceptions to the per-country cap are built into the INA that allow green cards unused by a country to be allocated to those waiting in line elsewhere. Etc, etc. I agree that there are no mysteries in the numbers, but there are too many other factors that will come in to it and that those figures won't show. As @Mundo254 has said, there's no way they're going over these limits and breaking the law. Any lawyer would be trying to file a class lawsuit if that were the case, as they'd make a fortune, and it would be all over every immigration blog and social media too.

Special Case
appleblossom replied to CJlove's topic in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits
How did she get her GC? If it wasn’t through marriage then why do you think it will be temporary and not a 10 year GC? Sounds like she hasn’t had the plastic card in the mail, but it’s a bit early if she only entered last month, it can take up to 90 days to receive it. Did she file AR-11 to inform USCIS of her change of address? If not, file that asap and then complete this form to say the GC was never received if it doesn’t arrive by May - https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDCForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=ndc This of course assumes the GC fee ($220, going up on 1st April) was paid, as it won’t be mailed if it wasn’t. So do check that doesn’t need to be paid first as well. Good luck. -
EB2-NIW Waiting for Interview Letter in London 2023
appleblossom replied to OnPoint's topic in United Kingdom
Have you had confirmation that London have accepted the case? Assume you’re living in the UK? -
The difference is that in the UK a speeding ticket is often a civil offence, whereas this is a criminal one - I'd order his ACRO cert asap just to see what it says though. I agree with the above that this shouldn't cause his visa to be denied, he just needs to be completely honest about it and hopefully it will all be fine. Good luck.
