    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  10. 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.

    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.

    I don't think the OP even signed it, I think the 'agency' did on her behalf. 😲

    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.

    Ah, ok. As you said filing a petition it sounded like you hadn’t applied for anything yet. Your nieces/nephews might get visas then. How old are they, what’s the PD and which country?
  15. appleblossom
    How old are the kids? Highly unlikely they’ll all be able to immigrate unless very young? But the AOS fee won’t be due for many years, until the NVC stage when a visa is available to them. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-3-pay-fees/nvc-fee-payment-faqs.html#:~:text=There is only one AOS,and pay the AOS fee. For now all you have to pay is the I-130 fee, the rest comes later.
  16. appleblossom
    I don’t think you want them to move faster. The Visa Bulletin isn’t likely to get any better due to the queue of people in front of you, so I think you want them to take a long time to approve the I-130, from my very limited knowledge of the CPSA. Hopefully somebody else will be able to explain it to you.
