    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.
  7. appleblossom
    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.
  10. appleblossom
    So unless it retrogresses you can do AoS once the I-130 is approved.

    Ah it’s fine, she doesn’t really need it, she just gets the ADIT stamp so there’s no rush. You should just be able to edit it on your profile?

    I was asked what address I wanted my GC sending to and then biometrics taken. That was it, and no secondary either, just 5 minutes at the booth and then sent on my way with a ‘Welcome to America’.
  13. appleblossom
    If you can give the consulate then people can give you more specific info. Also anything unusual about your circumstances (i.e. a 20 year age gap). Then people can advise if one visit together is likely to be enough or if you should plan for more.

    It’s just not a priority. My daughter lost her GC and so had to submit a I-90 for a replacement. Current processing time - 26 months! That is also just printing and mailing a card but they’re focused on other types of applications so not many resources are directed to replacement (or initial) GC’s. And please fill your timeline in too! Thx.
  15. appleblossom
    Oh that’s interesting, obviously increased processing times which may explain why @fyxk2024 hasn’t received theirs. Please do fill your timeline in to help other EV applicants thanks.
  16. appleblossom
    'Loads' sounds very British to me, I certainly say it all the time.
  17. appleblossom
    That's nonsense. Just fill in the form again to report the card not being received. You don't need to file I-90 until you've heard back, I-90 processing times are over 2.5 years now so if it's a simple fix then there's no point in doing that.

    Depends on your visa and consulate - assuming CR-1 and Lagos, then you need to wait for it to be scheduled, it's about a 15 month wait. If you can fill in your timeline/profile that would be helpful.
  19. appleblossom
    If you're CR-1 then it's usually scheduled by NVC, K-1's have to schedule their own. Wait times will vary by consulate, you can check here to see when you can expect one. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html

    It sounds to me as though the whole thing had been rejected. The rest of it may be making its way back to you or may have been lost. You mention above about CR1 so I’m wondering if you selected ´spouse of USC’ by mistake on the form.
  21. appleblossom
    A reminder that you want it to take as long as possible so your stepchild doesn’t age out in to F2B! So I’d sit back and wait, and hope you don’t get approval any time soon.
  22. appleblossom
    No, as there’s still no visa available to her at that point.

    All of the info you need is on the usual website. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html Make sure you check the country specific info as well.

    Replied to your other post, but interviews are currently being scheduled for those DQ’ed in October 2022, so she’s still got a couple of years to go unless things speed up. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html As said above, your idea of her entering as a visitor and then trying to adjust status is immigration fraud and not possible, she just had to be patient and wait it out. Hopefully the backlog will reduce between now and then.
  25. appleblossom
    For Abu Dhabi? It’s about a 2.5 year wait so she’s still got a long way to go if she was only DQ’ed in Oct. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html
