    You’ve not actually said but I assume you’re a USC? And where are you both now (not clear where ‘we arrived’ was to)?
  2. appleblossom
    Sounds like the 88 days started when you were issued the RFE initially on 20th November - i.e. a deadline of 16th February, which would then match up with you receiving the refusal on 20th February. Did the RFE you received in December specifically give you the March date?

    Ah, I see! That makes much more sense now, I thought something was really wrong if it had taken you nearly 4.5 years to get to this point. 😂

    Some consulates publish the info (example, Montreal - https://ca.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulates/consular-operations-updates/) Or you can search VJ for timelines and/or threads. But each consulate can change which cases they prioritise each month, and may have months where other types of applications have to take priority (i.e. August is always much busier for student visas so resources can be taken away from IV processing), and factors like staff shortages will have an impact too. So it’s much more fluid than the USCIS or NVC steps in the process.

    If you only applied in March, you're still well within average processing times - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

    It will depend on which consulate, you usually have to schedule the interview and medical yourself, but if you can give info on which consulate you're asking about, people can advise you.

    Still happening for me too, but only on my iPhone, it seems to be ok on desktop. A workaround was going to the Facebook page for VJ then following a link on there, that worked fine. And then that stopped working too, so it was then via Instagram. Now that's not working either, so it's laptop only for me at the moment. It's random pages, nothing specific at all. Annoyingly I can't work out how to delete the cookie for just VJ on my iPhone so can't seem to fix it there!

    They will start to process them in order of receipt, but various factors will make a big difference to the total processing time (background checks etc). You’re still well under the average processing time so I wouldn’t worry yet. And the good news is that London is one of the quickest consulate right now, so at least that part will be super speedy. Good luck.

    Just so you can see the quoted ‘normal’ processing times - For the I-140 - less than a year https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ And for transfer to NVC and receiving the Welcome Letter - a couple of weeks https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html If you’re not aware of any complicating factors that may be holding things up (a previous overstay, criminal record etc), then I’d investigate further personally.

    I know it was approved in Sept, but your timeline and previous posts say you applied in 2019?! If that’s right then 4 years is not normal even with Covid, and neither are security checks between petition approval and NVC transfer. So it seems you’re being delayed at every stage and there may be a reason for that - a FOIA request may shed some light.
  11. appleblossom
    I totally agree with @SalishSea, but I also think there's something very unusual going on with your case. Your I-140 took well over 4 years to be approved it seems? And that's not normal at all. So personally I'd do a FOIA request and try and find out what has been happening with it in case it continues to impact your application. Good luck.
  12. appleblossom
    Which consulate is your case actually at? You’ve asked about several different ones?
  13. appleblossom
    When you say ‘value of my home’, is this your primary residence? Or a second property?
  14. appleblossom
    It would have been paid for after a successful interview. And you'd have a receipt number ending in IOE which would mean you could track the card and see when it is produced, shipped, etc. If you don't have a receipt for it, then you need to pay it and then she'll get her card a few weeks later usually (can take up to 90 days).
  15. appleblossom
    You say CR1 but this thread is about EB-2, so which is your case??
  16. appleblossom
    All you can do is try then, just make sure you take plenty of proof you'll be returning home and ties to Italy. Good luck.
  17. appleblossom
    Yes, Lagos has a big backlog. 18 months to 2 years from DQ to interview usually, depends on the kind of case. You can search for timelines or look in the Consulate sub forum for more info on current times. Good luck.
  18. appleblossom
    Have you submitted your I-130? VWP or B visa?
  19. appleblossom
    Then that's fine. You don't need to be currently working in the job for it to be valid. Most people don't start working for their sponsoring employer until they move to the US.
  20. appleblossom
    EB-2 or EB-2 NIW? You haven't filled in your timeline. Does the job offer still stand or have they revoked it?
  21. appleblossom
    Yes, they'll fill dates as people become DQ'ed, i.e. as they're added to the queue - you just haven't been added to the queue as your PD wasn't current. I'd assume an interview towards the end of the year (assuming they prioritise immediate relatives for interviews, as most consulates do) and then be pleasantly surprised if it's any earlier. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    Yes, it's current next month, so your case will be added to the queue for an interview when March rolls around. Once you've been added to the queue, the length of wait seems to be about 6 months in DR, although that is for spousal (immediate relative) cases, so you may find yours is a bit longer as they will be given priority. Good luck.
  23. appleblossom
    Congrats! Yes, same sex marriages are recognised for US immigration purposes. Just be aware that it'll be quite a wait, as spouses of LPR's aren't immediate relatives - when are you eligible to apply for citizenship?
  24. appleblossom
    I don't think what you've mentioned would be viewed as suspicious, but it look like from your previous threads that you were due to marry somebody else in October, just before meeting this girl, and that you have previously applied for other K1's? So I would suggest you give a full background so that the forum pros can tell you if that may change things.
  25. appleblossom
    You’re looking at the wrong table. Table B is only for submitting documents to the NVC. Table A is for when a visa will actually become available to you. Until your PD is current (earlier than the date on that table) you can’t get a visa and no interview can be scheduled for you. As Boiler said, it’s currently at 8th Feb 2015 so you’ve still got quite a wait.
