Yep, if mistake was on your part then another vote for just filing again. A I-290b would only be relevant if the mistake was on USCIS's side.

The I-360's aren't relevant, neither are the I-130's. I'm asking about the receipt number from when you paid the green card fees (after the visas were granted - usually done just before or after entry to the US on those visas). It'll start with IOE, that's what you need to check.

So no I-485 then. You just need to follow the guide on the website for each step - 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 Good luck.

I'm really sorry about your cancer, and the situation you're in, but I don't think you're understanding. There is NO visa available to him by law until his Priority Date is current. So there is no way to expedite it (unless you can get a new immigration law passed!). But if he's with you in the US then hopefully that will suffice for now, at least you can be together? Have you and your daughter both petitioned for him? You say you applied in 2025?

Ok. As I said, I don’t know what the latest is since the FRP program was cancelled back in Feb. I thought that the previous court decision to restart it had been overruled again but I can’t really keep up. Even if it has been reinstated I wouldn’t rely on being able to do AOS from it, in case things change again. What’s your Priority Date?

There’s no visa available to him by law, an expedite can’t change that. But if he’s already in the US then even if his PD was current (and you could therefore apply for an expedite) I can’t see any grounds for one as he’s already in the country with you. That said, you say the judge has allowed him to stay until the I-130 has been approved but are you sure about that? It would be odd as even after the petition is approved there is likely to be many years until he gets a visa. I’m so sorry about your diagnosis but glad that your son and his family are able to be with you now and enjoy time together.

I wonder if your wife implied that she would be travelling back and forth, rather than saying both of you would. Which would then mean they might assume you’d be living separately for a lot of the time and aren’t convinced it’s a legit marriage. Or they just aren’t convinced she’ll be making the US her permanent home, which of course as a legal permanent resident, she’d have to. But until you get the denial, there’s no way to know for sure. That will set out the exact reason(s) for you, which you can then try to rebut.

I assume they mean the NVC civil documents. Not sure what you mean F1b, but you can check the Visa Bulletin to see how it’s moving - it’s updated monthly.

As above, sometimes they have to be redone. When we arrived, 3 of us got GC’s within 6 weeks but my daughters never arrived. We reported it as not received and USCIS got back to us and said it was because her biometrics weren’t good enough. So they made her an appointment to go to a local field office and have them redone. Maybe the family is confusing an appointment with an interview.

So what does the online status say when you check using the receipt number? And did you report the cards as not received before contacting the senator? If so, what was the response from USCIS?

😂😂 Family Reunification Parole I think, although I thought that had been scrapped under Trump and there would be no way to do AoS from it now. But I can’t keep up, maybe SCOTUS has struck that down again. @mira8090, which country are you from?

Sounds like her case was F2A though. And how long ago?

Those may not be enough to prove domicile. Most USC’s living abroad probably has those. But as you’re asking in the DCF forum I’m assuming you have a job offer? So that will be good and maybe you could show housing search too. Good luck.

Yesterday, ‘My Progress’ was showing 16 months until a decision on my daughter’s I-90. Today she got her approval and now it says 27 months until a decision. 😂

Just checking, but you are following the official website? That gives you details of each stage and process. 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 But they won’t interview you until you are eligible for a visa, so tomorrow onwards (if your PD becomes current then) you’ll be at that stage of the process. Hopefully you’ll have your visa fairly soon, good luck.

If it’s not current until June then there no delay. You can’t be interviewed until current.

Your age at application isn’t necessarily relevant, you could have aged out and no longer be eligible for a visa. But give us more info (type of application, your age now, etc) and we can try and help. Just to confirm, you were included in the interview? If you are definitely eligible then I’d just send a police cert and medical for you as well. Better to provide too much than not enough.

It’s not, if you file concurrently - I assumed you’d discounted that for some reason from your first post. You said you’re a Canadian citizen, but where were you born?

@JodiDeverra how and when did your mother get her GC?

Plus date for AoS for the OP’s category is currently October 2013…..and s/he applied in March 2025 so has at least 12 years before s/he could apply to adjust status, even if s/he was inside the US and could do it legally. That’s why I don’t think s/he understands the process, or the wait ahead of them.

You really need to have another read of your previous threads on this subject, you're not understanding the basics of immigration procedures/law and you'll end up with a ban if you're not careful. You cannot go back to the US and do AOS once your I-130 is approved because (a) your PD still won't be current for at least another decade, so there is no way for you to adjust status anyway; and (b) even if it was current that would be immigration fraud. As @jan22 said, you MUST switch to consular processing, there is no way for you to adjust status. Good luck.

You can check previous posts, looks like the OP got his visa in February and is now in the US. So only 3 months (ish) which is pretty quick for Islamabad where AP is usually much lengthier. There’s no set time for AP, every case is different.

As said above, only if you’re in the US. Who has petitioned you?

Option 3 is your only realistic option. Particularly as said above as it sounds like you’ve been working illegally to fund your trip. Extending your B2 isn’t going to happen unless you have good grounds - think one of you being hospitalized etc. It doesn’t sound as though you’d have a valid reason for that. And if you both already have masters and established careers then a F1 isn’t likely to be granted either. So stop work right now (remember if you do want to apply for EB2 NIW that will have a big impact) and plan to head back earlier if you don’t have enough funds to stay another couple of months. Then you can apply properly from your own country. I’d also look at employment based visas if you’re in tech fields. Either of your company’s have US offices you could transfer to?

Have you tried different browsers? What do you think you need to log in for? Any pre interview info is usually publically available.
