    The info you need is in the country specific guidelines - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Malaysia.html Good luck, I hope you can get it sorted quickly.

    That is strange. So just to check, you're going to your username at the top of the page, then clicking 'Timeline', then clicking 'Edit/Add Entry'? And it doesn't let you?

    Oh, how odd! Give it another go and hopefully it will work fine this time. 😊

    Please fill your timeline in when you get a mo, that's the best way to help other EB applicants on the forum. Thx.

    Are you sure your TN is still valid? NIV are normally cancelled when an IV is issued.

    In-laws would be relatives, yes. Relatives just means family members. They will come under your ‘other relatives’ section.

    Did you see the guide I gave you on your thread the other day? That sets the whole process out step by step so just follow that carefully - as said above they’re two separate cases so you need to do everything for each of them. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html

    It just means you’re well within the normal processing time. There’s nothing to worry about. What extra documents do you think they’ll ask for? They probably haven’t even looked at your application yet, it’ll just be sat in a pile waiting for them to get to it, with a line of others ahead of it. Have you applied for citizenship? If so, you might mind you have that first anyway. Good luck.

    Yes, it's up to 90 days, so at 6 weeks you could still have a way to go.

    Just wanted to say I'm sorry you haven't had any responses. I think that given your situation, you probably really need a good immigration lawyer and not just us lot! One other option that you've not mentioned is marrying your partner and then filing for AOS immediately? You could marry and file by the end of the month if you did that. Best of luck.

    It'll be your A number I would think. I don't recall unfortunately. But if you're not sure then just check in at the airport rather than online, then it'll all be done by the check in staff. Good luck.
  12. appleblossom
    Yes, as @Boiler said you're selecting the wrong thing from the drop down menu on the BA API - you need to select visa, not green card as you're not a LPR or green card holder until you enter the US. Then you enter the details from the visa there, and you'll need to get it checked at the airport by check in staff too. Good luck!

    Not sure if this is DV 2025 or 2026, the baby may be born after the deadline depending on that. I have a vague recollection that a newborn baby can accompany a parent to the US within the visa validity period and also become a LPR on arrival, but don’t know if I’ve made that up?! OP, which year and if 2026 what’s your visa number?

    The end is in sight though! Just checked for you and assuming Kingston consulate, looks like they’re currently scheduling interviews for those DQ’ed in February, so approx 3 months wait for the IL as a very rough guide. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html So hopefully interview around Sept time. Good luck!
  15. appleblossom
    Very strange. I wonder if you were properly refused (rather than just AP) but never received the letter for some reason. Definitely follow it up with the consulate, good luck.
  16. appleblossom
    What does your case status say? 7 years is highly unusual.
  17. appleblossom
    It largely depends on you and how quickly you do everything. Can be super quick if you pay the fees straight away and have all your docs ready to submit. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html The biggest variable in the whole process is the wait for an interview though. Can be as quick as a couple of months, can be as long as 2 years, depending on your consulate. If you can fill in your timeline and profile it would be helpful. Good luck.

    So you’ve got a drug conviction? And what visa were you applying for? Sounds like your conviction isn’t eligible for a waiver so there’s not really any way forward. But do consult with a couple of really good lawyers to check.
  19. appleblossom
    If they're over 18, then check as I don't think that stops them from aging out - so don't let them wait too long. Does your wife definitely not want to move? Any chance of reconciliation at all or not?
  20. appleblossom
    If you were only DQ'ed a couple of weeks ago it's probably just too early. Even the quickest consulates are 1-2 months for the IL usually.
  21. appleblossom
    Ah, I see, I thought you meant the case had been transferred there ready for interview. The status will change to 'in transit' when it's on the way there (after the interview is scheduled). Hopefully it won't be too long, I'd guess you'll get the IL next month? But that is just a guess. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    They usually send them out once a month, cut off date varies as it depends on how many cases they have to schedule. But cases are usually only transferred once they've been scheduled, are you sure it's at London already? What does the online status say?
  23. appleblossom
    You can search timelines to find others who filed around the same time, and there may also be a thread for Jan 2025/Dec 2024 filers. But average processing time is 8.5 months so not sure you'll find many (any?) who've been approved yet. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Good luck.
  24. appleblossom
    You can search the forum for timelines (please fill yours in too), I think it was about 4 months at Paris but not sure if that's sped up or slowed down recently. Best of luck.

    You could try uploading a letter stating that you cannot divorce (ideally with info from official sources about how it’s illegal) in place of the divorce certificate. If that doesn’t work your wife will need to contact NVC and ask to be removed from the application. Are you absolutely sure that she won’t want to move though? Are your children moving with you? Another option would be to change her status to ‘follow to join’ in case she changes her mind down the line.
