    You don't get a packet unless you're receiving an IV via a certain route (employment based for example). If you're a family based applicant then it's sent electronically, which is what the 'IV docs in CCD' means. And your A number should be on your visa in your passport? Or you can find it on your IV handout, or other IV paperwork.

    All the cases I've seen on VJ that have been refused processing at London because they aren't resident have been British citizens. That's why personally I'd email the London embassy and check with them before making arrangements for flights/hotel/medical etc. Just in case!

    The guy I was thinking of did provide an address (grandparents home I think?) but got asked for proof he lived there. Maybe London is extra hot on it as it's one of the quickest consulates at the moment, so they get tons of people asking to move their cases there that don't live there.

    Personally I would contact the London consulate directly and check that you definitely can have it processed there if you're living in Mexico, it would be awful if you went all that way for medical/interview and then got told no! And then you'll have it in writing in case of any issues too.

    No way of uploading evidence on my USCIS account. It was literally just another way of checking my status, nothing else useful at all on there. Only CEAC showed me documents etc. I agree that nearly 2 years is odd though, I hadn't spotted that before.

    Even that doesn't work a lot of the time. There was a case on VJ recently of an EB2 applicant in Canada (where the wait time is about 18-24 months for an interview) that was a British citizen and tried to have his case transferred. He was asked for proof of residency i.e. utility bills, council tax bill etc, and without that it was refused so he was stuck in Canada waiting.

    Ah, the police check makes sense now. Really didn't see how you could get the wrong one for the UK! I'd be surprised if your case is accepted at London though if you don't live there? When did you last live there?
  8. appleblossom
    Just to clarify for anybody reading, citizenship doesn't mean anything when it comes to consulates, residency does. Plenty of examples of people who are resident in super slow countries (i.e. Canada) that are British citizens and have tried to have their interview in London but been refused. And of course, the other way around - plenty of people who aren't British citizens but are living and working in the UK so have their case in London.

    Oh nooooo! What did you submit?! Didn't even know there was another type of ACPO report. Hope it all gets sorted asap. When are you hoping to move?

    Then that may be it, depending on the PD, there is no visa available to apply for yet so no fees to pay or DS-260 to complete. It doesn't explain why @Gymguy has it greyed out as well though, unless they're from China or India of course. Hopefully s/he will also fill out their timeline with that info soon so that we can help them.
  11. appleblossom
    Just checking, is your PD current? If you could fill out your VJ timeline it would be really helpful to other EB2 applicants and also anybody trying to help with your questions.
  12. appleblossom
    You’re right that the normal filing/attorney/etc fees cannot be paid by the employee though, only the PP fee can.
  13. appleblossom
    Immediate relatives of citizens don’t have a Priority Date as there is no limit on the number of visas available to them, unlike other relative categories. So no wait for a visa to become available and just the processing time.
  14. appleblossom
    He won't be scheduled for an interview until his PD is current (i.e. before the date on the Visa Bulletin) - his PD is 30th Sept 2019 and the current date is 8th Feb 2019. There's no visa available to him until that happens. So it's about 8 months before his date at the moment, but it's not linear so may not advance at the same rate. And then once his PD is current and a visa is available, he'll be added to the queue for an interview so you need to add on time for that wait too. HTH explain it a bit, good luck.

    And all employment based applicants (EB1 etc). Congrats, hope your move goes well.

    10 months apparently…...https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Obviously no guarantee that F1 will remain quicker, but it's worth considering.
  17. appleblossom
    I logged in to my USCIS account once when going through the green card process earlier this year, then realised it didn't give me any info that my online status checker didn't, and so never bothered again. I really wouldn't worry about it if you can't get in, you're not missing much!
  18. appleblossom
    Yep, I agree with the above advice, this is too risky. I'm struggling to see why you need to return to your home country to 'do some stuff regarding the big move', when you've already had 9 months since you left the US to do that. And a border officer may see it the same way.
  19. appleblossom
    Not sure who you're asking but the thread is about those with K1 visas - so might be worth starting your own new thread instead. Although with AP it's a 'how long is a piece of string' thing really, and will vary hugely so one applicant's timeline isn't likely to be relevant to you. It can take weeks, months or years, no way of knowing unfortunately.
  20. appleblossom
    Long way to go yet then. Hopefully by the time your PD is current and you're in the queue for an interview Montreal will have caught up with themselves a bit. Good luck.
  21. appleblossom
    It's crazy, if they are signing applications on other people's behalf then unethical is right. I can't imagine giving control over to somebody else for something that important.
  22. appleblossom
    Oh, apologies, I thought 'you signing something' meant you thought she'd signed it. She may well have done, we could be wrong, but it reads to me as if she never even saw it which is even more worrying! If the 'agency' are submitting and signing documents on people's behalf without power of attorney or similar, then I can't imagine that's legal.
  23. appleblossom
    AP can go on for months or even years. I know it's easier said than done but if you see an update don't read too much in to it, it may mean nothing at all. As above, if you fill out your timeline and country info then forum members will be able to help you properly.
  24. appleblossom
    I don't think the OP even signed it, I think the 'agency' did on her behalf. 😲
  25. appleblossom
    Ugh. I don’t think any of them will get visas then unfortunately. But all you can do is wait and see unfortunately, as you say patience is a virtue. Best of luck, I hope the time passes quickly.
