    Ah ok. Yes, that would be fine, plenty of people move countries after applying. You may need to rethink your timescale for applying though, and do check the wait times for interviews in Sydney as I know they did have a big backlog (whereas London is very quick). Not sure what it will be like by the time you are at the NVC/interview stage, but it's something to check and try to factor in anyway. Good luck.

    Just to be clear, you'd be returning to the UK in August 2026 to wait for your visa to be issued? You may find that you end up interviewing and finishing the process in London anyway then if that's the case so spending time in Australia in the interim wouldn't have much of an impact.

    As an EB applicant, your only option is to mail the documents. Do you have a lawyer, has the WL gone to them maybe? Daft question, but you've checked your junk/spam folder I assume?
  4. appleblossom
    Yes, generally.
  5. appleblossom
    Sorry to hear that. When were you thinking of trying to visit, have you already got an interview date lined up?
  6. appleblossom
    Not everybody that's DQ'ed in a month will get an IL that month - if, for example, the IL's for London go out tomorrow (27th) then usually there is a cut off date i.e. anybody DQ'ed after the 17th won't get an IL in that batch as they were DQ'ed too late to be added to the list. So then they'll go in to the next month.
  7. appleblossom
    OK, so you'll have been added to the queue in January. I don't think this month's IL's have gone out yet (they are often right at the end of the month for London), so you may well get an IL in the next few days for an interview in March or April. Good luck.
  8. appleblossom
    Usually super quick, generally IL in the month following DQ (possibly another month if you were DQ'ed late in the month and miss the cut off). And the interview is usually 4-6 weeks later.

    But as per the link - the certificate is valid indefinitely if they haven't lived there for at least 6 months since it was issued.
  10. appleblossom
    Your concern isn't clear. We don't know if you (or whoever is being interviewed) has returned to the Philippines and resided there for 6 months or more or not since you got the certificate. If they haven't, then it's still valid regardless of the date of it, as per that answer. And if they have, then yes, you'll need another one unless you by any chance get an interview just before it expires.
  11. appleblossom
    Third question down - 'What is the validity period of a police certificate?'.

    Is this for an interview in London? If so…...https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visa-faqs/visa-processing-and-documents/
  13. appleblossom
    I think it's just proportionate to the amount of interviews done for each category. If you look at the monthly visa stats you'll see that there are very few family based visas (non immediate relative) issued each month compared to other categories so presumably a lot less interviews too.
  14. appleblossom
    I'd say no chance at all of it reaching Feb 2021 in the April bulletin - that would be a jump of 10 months! Given the amount of retrogression over the past year, I can't see it moving that far personally.
  15. appleblossom
    It depends on the consulate. And the wait for an interview varies hugely depending on the consulate too - some have waits of only a couple of months, some are a couple of years.

    They shouldn't be laminated. You may find he's asked to get another copy and submit that.
  17. appleblossom
    The OP hasn’t been on the forum for 6 months.
  18. appleblossom
    What’s your Priority Date? It would be great if you could fill in your timeline. Not many of us EB applicants around, so every timeline is hugely helpful. Assuming it’s current, then you need to count from when your PD became current, not from your DQ date - you’re not added to the queue for an interview until a visa becomes available to you. So you were added to the queue last month, and I’d expect you to get an IL in this months batch. Good luck.
  19. appleblossom
    So you have a joint sponsor?
  20. appleblossom
    If they're in English, no need for any translation - as it says, it's only if the document is in a foreign (i.e. non English) language.
  21. appleblossom
    Why did you not file?
  22. appleblossom
    OK, so their PD's aren't quite current yet. On this month's Visa Bulletin the date for F2A is 8th Feb 2020. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-february-2024.html However, next month their PD's become current (see link above from @JeanneAdil), so then a visa will become available to them and they'll be added to the queue for an interview.
  23. appleblossom
    Priority Date. Basically the date you submitted the I-130. Also, how old are the children?
  24. appleblossom
    Lagos has a big backlog, it's 18 months to 2 years from DQ to interview date I believe. Is your PD current? If it is then hopefully it won't be too much longer.
  25. appleblossom
    Yes, afraid so, unfortunately your I-130 being approved so quickly did you no favours.
