    Where are you checking a box? Question 3.a. of which form? How long did the I-130 take to be approved and what age is the child now?
  2. appleblossom
    The only way you'll know is when you actually get the letter giving you the reasons for refusal. Easier said than done I know, but I'd just wait until then rather than trying to guess.

    Did you ever set an online account up? If not, then you won't have one, and can ignore that question.

    Is your wife the beneficiary or petitioner? As said above, it’s only the USC that is relevant to the expedite request. I doubt those would be valid reasons (look at how many choose to live in California at risk of major earthquake!) but it’s free to ask so you might as well give it a try.

    I suspect it means that as I guessed above you’ve missed the cut off for May - i.e. they’re scheduling for those DQ’ed before then, letters being sent now are for those in late April and early May. If you were DQ’ed on 19th May then I think you were too late for a May IL but will get one in June, for a Sept interview. So not long to wait now. Good luck.

    Depends on the consulate. Could be a couple of months until they get an interview, could be a couple of years (or anywhere in between). Good luck, hope they’re not at a consulate with a big backlog.

    If it helps, ours was received overnight, we received it at 1.09am so woke up to find it in our inbox, but others have had it later or earlier. Please do fill in your timeline to 'pay it forward', thanks.

    It's not about being in a hurry or not, it's about being eligible. If the program is cancelled then there will be no way to stay and do AOS.

    I've certainly heard of lot of petitions being refused for errors, and people having to refile. Not sure about the signature specifically though. It would be much quicker/easier to just refile, and there's not much difference in cost so I really can't see any advantage to the I-290b personally, but your call. Best of luck.
  10. appleblossom
    But you have no grounds to have it reopened. It was correctly denied, so I don't see how a I-290b would work personally.

    How can you forget your birthday?!? That makes no sense. You'll have to provide official documentation to back up the date of birth you gave too i.e. your passport and birth certificate. So if it's different you'll be out of luck, KCC won't give it out to you as they see many fraudulent cases and some people 'buy' a winning entry, so they will expect you to know your own DOB and what you put on your original entry.
  12. appleblossom
    Sorry but I don't understand what you're asking. You wrote KCC for what? Exactly what stage are you at, and where did you forget to write your DOB? Also, which country are you from?
  13. appleblossom
    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.
  14. appleblossom
    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.
  15. appleblossom
    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?
  17. appleblossom
    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?
  18. appleblossom
    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.
  20. appleblossom
    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.
  22. appleblossom
    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?
  23. appleblossom
    😂😂 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?
  24. appleblossom
    Sounds like her case was F2A though. And how long ago?
  25. appleblossom
    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.
