    It'll take a while before your case status updates to say at NVC. Once it's there, it's usually 2-4 weeks before you'll get the Welcome Letter. And next steps are all laid out here - 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.

    From here I’d assume, members timelines and updates. It would be helpful if you filled in your timeline as well for others. 😊

    Looks like Amman is one of the quicker consulates, seems to only be 3 months ish from DQ to interview date - Good luck.
  4. appleblossom
    They have, just haven't updated this thread - HTH.

    Wait times can vary between a couple of months and a couple of years depending on the consulate. Is your consulate Chile?

    Canada is hugely backlogged at the moment. When is your wife eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship? It may be quicker for her to apply for that and then get her visa at the border.

    Current date is 1st May 2020, so your PD isn't current unless there's a typo with date or visa class? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2023/visa-bulletin-for-september-2023.html

    OK, so as it's not current I don't think anybody can guess unfortunately. All you can do is keep an eye on the Visa Bulletin next year and hope it moves forward. Good luck.

    What's your Priority Date?

    I think 3 weeks is very optimistic, seems to take much longer for most. Ours certainly haven’t arrived yet and the status doesn’t even say they’ve been produced. But it’s really not needed, our I-551’s have been accepted as proof of permanent residency status for everything, so as long as they turn up at some point before next July then it’s all good. I’ll try and remember to let you know when they do arrive. 😊

    I was EB-1 via London (visa granted in July after applying in Feb), you might want to look at my timeline for more details. For DQ timescales - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html And as this thread is for spousal applicants, you might want to join the EB thread instead - Good luck.

    If it helps, mine just changed to at London once it was transferred, and status changed to ‘ready’. IIRC it was about the same time I got the IL. But I’m not too sure I’d rely on any status, my USCIS status still says it’s at DoS, and I got my visa in July and have already lived in the US for a month. 😂
  13. appleblossom
    You can, but just bear in mind you only get 6 months from the medical to use the visa, so it would only give you 3 months ish to move once the visa is in hand. Less if there was a problem at the interview i.e. A missing document you had to send it afterwards. I booked my interview before I had my IL, as we only had one possible week we could have it done in. And we planned to leave straight after getting our visas anyway. Re: the medical care summary, you should be able to download it instantly via the NHS website if you’ve registered for that, rather than waiting for a GP practice to send it. Good luck.

    Please copy and paste the most recent table, then add your info in to that. Thx.

    It will happen at some point. But yes, it's slow progress, it's only moved a month in the past 2 years. Fingers crossed it speeds up for you.
  16. appleblossom
    OK, so quite a while to wait then. No way of knowing for sure when it'll become current and an interview will be scheduled for you, all you can do is keep an eye on the Visa Bulletin and hope it moves forward. Good luck.
  17. appleblossom
    What's your Priority Date, is it current?
  18. appleblossom
    Looks like you only just became a citizen? So you’ve got many years (decades?) before you need to worry about this. But assuming nothing changes between now and then, she can enter at any international airport. And she can stop over wherever she wants on the way.

    Mint Mobile - you don’t need a US address. You can get an eSIM and then just switch between your UK & US numbers as needed. HTH.
  20. appleblossom
    Just over a year it seems - HTH.
  21. appleblossom
    I'm surprised your employer is ok with you doing that - surely that's immigration fraud?! You can't claim to be an accountant if you're not. And you would need supporting documents to show you meet the criteria for that occupation. Is there any other visa option, how about a L1?
  22. appleblossom
    The quote above is on their website though.

    Some consulates have a wait of a couple of months for an interview, some have a wait of a couple of years due to backlogs. A search of the forum may reveal others who've applied via the same consulate and given their timelines. The consulate website does say "Please be advised that the lengthy suspension of services and need to maintain physical distance among our staff and applicants has led to greatly reduced appointment capacity, which has created a significant backlog of immigrant visa applicants awaiting an interview", but doesn't give a timeframe for an interview unfortunately. Good luck.

    Not relevant for Canada. If he's applied for PR, then he only has to spend 2 years out of every 5 in Canada to maintain his status once he's landed and activated his status - so he has another 2.5 yrs before he has to move there. But if the daughter's haven't been yet, then they can't have Canadian PR. And that will expire one year from the date of their medicals, if they haven't landed by then they'd have to apply again.

    As asked above, what’s your Priority Date? That’s the vital bit of info. Being DQ’ed doesn’t mean anything if your Priority Date isn’t current, no interview will be scheduled until a visa is available to you. The current date for your category is 1st Jan 2015 so is your PD before that?
