    Oh that's awful, bad enough to have a delay but it's terrible that is isn't even needed. So you left question 61 blank and filled in question 62? Definitely an error on USCIS's part then and you shouldn't be penalised for that. Potomac is quicker than other service centres but is still 16 months or so unfortunately. I really hope somebody can help you get it pushed through sooner if it was USCIS's mistake. Is there any way of making a formal complaint maybe to try and get somebody to sit up and notice? Best of luck to you.

    If this is the petitioner, then it won't have any impact at all then.

    Here you go, step by step guide - 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

    It doesn't sound like he's ineligible for a visa. It's his 'wife' that is, as they're not legally married so she cannot get a visa as a derivative.

    I'd just type it in instead of copying and pasting.

    Curiouser and curiouser! Your timeline says the consulate received your case on 1st September, where did that date come from then?
  7. appleblossom
    Which country was this in? Some countries would treat driving without insurance as a criminal offence and then yes, it absolutely must be mentioned.

    I think you’ve been told a load of nonsense by a call handler tbh. As @SalishSea said, your whole file must have been sent to the consulate otherwise an interview wouldn’t have been scheduled. And you know the reason they’re doing AP - if they didn’t have all the data from your petition they’d have asked other questions.

    They are permanent residents of the US and are therefore expected to live there permanently to maintain that status. It sounds like they have never actually lived there in 6 years of holding green cards? They got off lightly IMO, sounds like the border officer was very lenient with them. What ties can they show to the US? Address, utility bills, bank accounts etc? Have they been filing their tax returns every year? If your parent don’t intend to live in the US anytime soon, it may be easier for them to relinquish their GC’s and for you to sponsor them again when they are ready to move and to make the US their permanent home.

    Took a picture of what? What is your mother’s native language?

    It’s 2 years or more of marriage when she enters on the immigrant visa, not when she applies.
  12. appleblossom
    It may take a while but they should respond. When do you travel back to the US?
  13. appleblossom
    I agree with @Crazy Cat, it doesn't look like an error. I suspect it's a standard warning that everybody gets, just to tell LPR's that they cannot apply to petition a parent, and you can safely ignore it and carry on as you know you are eligible to do so.

    You won't be documentarily qualified until you submit all the required docs. You'll still need to take the original cert to the interview though.

    OK, that's odd, as NA3 isn't mentioned in the exemption list (https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-immigrant-fee#Who_Pays_the_Fee). But if your son didn't pay it then I guess not, so I'd suggest you report it as non-received then - https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDCForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=ndc When did you leave the US, are you sure it hasn't been delivered in your absence? Do you have somebody opening your mail?
  16. appleblossom
    Previous processing times aren't really relevant. Currently it's at 17 months, so yes, you're well within normal processing times at the moment. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Just checking, you did file before you left the US? As for your daughter, her GC should have arrived within 90 days if you definitely paid the GC fee? What does the online status say for it?
  17. appleblossom
    Why will she need her passport for AR-11? She’ll need her A number but says above they have a copy of her passport which hopefully includes a copy of her visa. OP, which country is her passport from?
  18. appleblossom
    What’s your timeframe for wanting to actually live in the US, when do your contracts finish?
  19. appleblossom
    The delay in sending the case to NVC will have made no difference as there's still a long wait ahead either way. But as you can see from the Visa Bulletin, married children of citizens cases are currently ahead of sibling cases by just over 18 months, so it may knock a bit of time off if your mother petitions for her too. You can both apply and then just wait to see whose petition gets to the front of the line first.
  20. appleblossom
    She can't, but she can when she becomes a USC. I'd recommend she does so, partly as back up to your petition, but also as it may be slightly quicker.
  21. appleblossom
    OK, so nothing to do but wait. Just check the VB occasionally to see if the date has moved and keep an eye on it when it gets close. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    No, nothing you can do until her PD is current on Table B as above. She's at least 15-20 years away from that stage. Is your Dad a citizen and is he your sisters father too?
  23. appleblossom
    For what? Please give more details of the application so people can try and help.
  24. appleblossom
    You keep an eye on the Visa Bulletin (released monthly). Table A is what you need to look at to see when a visa will become available to her, when her PD is before that date - not sure which country she's in, but for most countries the date is 8th June 2007, so anybody that applied before that date is now able to get a visa https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-march-2024.html And as @Chancy said, Table B tells you when you can complete the NVC side of things, that's currently at 1st March 2008. Good luck.

    Ah, I replied to this when it was posted on your F2B thread, hence the confusion. Up to you which is best to do, @Crazy Cat has given you the excellent list above to get you started.
