    It’s the same CEAC tracking site you’ve used the whole way through, only the receipt number changes. https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx And they just leave both in the mailbox, no signatures required. HTH.

    This thread is from May and if you look at the OP’s timeline you’ll see the visa has already been approved.

    It doesn't change after interview, so it's the same site as previously - https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx And once you've paid the GC fee you use the same site again to check the status of it's production and when it's sent but use your receipt number from that instead. HTH.

    mgsctravels isn't a citizen though. If you look at my previous posts you'll see mine, IIRC my status changed to 'issued' the afternoon of our interview, but I think that was much quicker than usual. We had our interview on a Monday afternoon and had our passports back Thursday.

    Does the consulate in HK do immigrant visas? And is it quicker than Canada? If so that may be worth a try.
  6. appleblossom
    Even UK citizens who’ve tried to transfer have been refused. It might be worth trying another consulate but London is very strict on ‘consulate shopping’. Are you Canadian born or do you have any ties to another country?

    OK, so as Boiler has said, still quite a while to go. Visa Bulletin date is Feb 2019 for that category - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-november-2023.html

    And if it's F2B then it'll be even longer. @AileenRico42, it would be helpful if you filled in your profile/timeline so that people can see which category and dates you're asking about. How old are the children?

    Attending a conference is permitted under a tourist visa or the VWP, just as visiting to check out colleges is. There’s no difference. I think you’re missing the point. I wouldn’t be surprised if your conversation has been noted down, just as mine have been on entry each time. But I don’t see why you think it’s a problem, you are overthinking it.

    She can file but unfortunately it isn’t possible for anybody other than immediate relatives to file to adjust status & stay, as per the advice given to you previously. So she’ll need to leave before her visa expires and wait outside the US.

    Ok, so are you thinking your parents will sponsor them? If so it’ll be a lot longer than 5-6 yrs.
  12. appleblossom
    I don’t think it will be an issue at all but I don’t know why you think they won’t make notes on your conversation. I’ve had several comments about info I’ve given previously when entering i.e. ‘are you back to speak at another conference?’ Etc. So it’s obvious that a brief comment I’ve made has been noted for future entries.

    Too late now as you were submitting several weeks ago, but I would say yes to the second one personally. If you take each question individually and literally I don’t see how it can be a no.
  14. appleblossom
    How old are your siblings?
  15. appleblossom
    You’ve not filled in your profile/timeline which is worth doing if you can, so people that want to help can see it. What category and what is your Priority Date?
  16. appleblossom
    @Aanuoluwa, when did you submit your docs? If you could fill in your timeline it would be super helpful.
  17. appleblossom
    No, usually just a few days longer for those that mail their docs. You’re bang on time! https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html
  18. appleblossom
    Congrats!

    Only a proper expedite request will do it, so if you do have a valid reason to jump the queue ahead of everybody else then you can try that. If not then I’m afraid all you can do is wait your turn. As your spouse is from Iran you may have lengthier AP, and no way of expediting that so just be prepared in case that does happen.
  20. appleblossom
    There’s no way to push it unless you qualify for an expedite. You’re just in a queue with everybody else.
  21. appleblossom
    You can add yourself - just copy & paste the table in to a post and add another row for you. HTH. Good luck, hope it’s not too long until your PD becomes current. 🤞🏻
  22. appleblossom
    It’s already linked to in the first post. HTH.
  23. appleblossom
    It’s the applicants nationality I meant, (obviously all petitioners are American - or green card holders - or they wouldn’t be able to sponsor!). If your spouse isn’t Turkish then she may have a longer wait from what I’ve read on VJ. But that thread will give you more info. Good luck.
  24. appleblossom
    The person you’re asking hasn’t been on the forum for nearly 3 years, this is a very old thread. But everybody’s AP will vary depending on the reasons for it and the checks being done. It can take weeks, months or even years. A senator isn’t likely to have any effect, you can sue for a decision if it’s been a long time.

    The siblings being Canadian citizens doesn't make any difference. As said above, once the brother is a US citizen he can sponsor him, but it's a very long wait. I guess all they can do is both try to find employers prepared to sponsor them. I personally think the EB2 NIW is a long shot for a teacher, but it's worth a consult with an immigration attorney.
