Depends on the home country and if there is a tax treaty in place or not. PLEASE fill in your timeline! I know I’ve asked before, but it really does pay it forward and help others if you can just take 5 minutes to do that. Thx.

Reapplying quickly just makes you look desperate to get to the US, which really doesn’t help your case. Obviously nobody knows for sure, you could reapply in a month and be granted a visa, but the general advice it usually to leave it much longer before applying again. Do you live at home or have your own property? If you don’t have your own place then I’d wait until you do before trying again.

So at no point were you recommended for a waiver? I think that given your most recent refusal was due to 214(b), all you can do is leave it much longer and apply again in a few years. Try ESTA first, answering the question truthfully, and if that’s refused then it’ll need to be a B visa. As you’re young without many ties, work towards getting more for the next time. Good luck.

It makes no difference at all. All cases are gradually being made electronic.

Will your insurance cover her too? That would be very unusual, so do double check that as otherwise it’s likely to be incredibly expensive if she doesn’t qualify for Medicaid. I don’t think anything you’ve mentioned would be an issue for the medical, it’s more communicable diseases etc. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/medical-examination-faqs.html Good luck.

I’m sorry that she is unwell, hopefully by the time the visa is processed she’ll be better. She will have to pass the medical to get an immigrant visa, but with all of that the bigger question for me would be can she afford the healthcare costs in the US?

Is this for a fiance visa or a work based visa? Please clarify what kind of application you’ve made and as @SalishSea said, where were you born? When they asked for your CV, how did they ask you to send it? Did you have it in an envelope with a courier label? Can you give us a copy of what you were handed at the interview (with any identifying details redacted).

Love how you don’t know how old your nephew is - just like my brother with my kids. 😂 Should be ok then. I’d guess at another 3 or 4 years until they get a visa, but if the I-130 took a long time to be approved then should be comfortably under the aging out time.

Congrats. Fingers crossed their category moves for them and it’s not too much longer. Do they have any children that may age out?

Like @Crazy Cat I‘m not really sure what the point would be now, as your I-485 isn’t waiting for anything (as your PD is current on Table B). And just checking, but you don’t have children that have also been petitioned as your derivatives?

OK, so just a case of waiting for the interview letter now then. Good luck.

OK, so they haven’t aged out. You’ve said 2023 and 2024 above, which is it? If it’s 2023 then I’d chase it up as I’d have thought you’d have had an interview by now, if it’s 2024 then it’s just a case of waiting.

As above, what’s the reason you’re scheduling it yourself? And are you EB2, what’s your Priority Date? If you could fill in your timeline it would be super helpful, thx.

How old are the children now? It’s current as long as they’re still F2A (i.e. haven’t aged out in to F2B), so sounds like it’s just a case of waiting for an interview. Nothing that can be done but wait unfortunately, a lot of consulates still have big backlogs.

Ask him where that change has been announced? I’ve certainly not heard that before and the current VB doesn’t say anything about it either.

Too late now, but it sounds as though you would have had grounds for a DCF application. You can ask for an expedite but doubt you’d qualify, only specific circumstances do and being apart from a loved one during the process is normal unfortunately. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/expedite-requests You can visit though, just make sure you don’t do it too often or for too long so you don’t run the risk of being refused entry. And hopefully it won’t be too much longer for you so you may only have time for one visit anyway. Good luck.

I’d imagine $18k is community college! It’s pretty cheap for an international student.

Is the credit card joint? It doesn’t sound though any of those are evidence you live together. So add in things like joint rental agreement, utility bills in both names etc that show you’re at the same address.

You can have as many sponsors as you need, but it doesn’t sound like either of your sponsors have funds they can afford to spare really, so that may be questioned.

No probs. Just realised I put last month’s VB on instead, this is April’s - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-april-2025.html Not that it makes any difference as it’s still the same date on Table B, it hasn’t moved forward, but didn’t want to mislead!

Oh, I see, I thought you meant you’d uploaded the civil docs to NVC. You just mean your case has been sent there by USCIS? That has nothing to do with being DQ’ed. You’ll be DQ’ed when you’ve paid the fees, uploaded all of the civil docs required and then submitted the DS-260 too. But that’s still many years away, you won’t be eligible for a visa for another 8-10 years or so (longer if you get married in the interim), so NVC won’t ask you to do that until much nearer the time (as said above, only those with PD’s before Sept 2017 are able to do it now). You need to familiarise yourself with the Visa Bulletin. It’s released monthly, this is the current month’s - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-march-2025.html Once your PD is current on Table B you can expect the Welcome Letter from NVC. And once it’s current in Table A you’ll be eligible for a visa and your interview will be scheduled. This link is also useful to help you understand the whole process - 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

If your PD is only 2022 then how did you submit stuff to NVC? You should still be many years away from being able to do that, the current Dates For Filing is Sept 2017 (so only those with PD’s earlier than this can start the NVC process). Are you saying you’ve already had the Welcome Letter from NVC and paid the fees online etc? If so maybe NVC have realised they sent that to you in error and that’s why you’ve not been DQ’ed.

What’s your Priority Date? Are you saying you submitted docs in August and have been waiting to be DQ’ed? If so you’ve either missed the email, or haven’t submitted everything required, as it’s usually only a week or two. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

As above, the standard is ' for feet and " for inches - so you’d put 5’10".

He must be 100% honest but saying he’s coming to visit you is truthful. If asked to elaborate, he can. As he would have no route to adjusting status through you for a long time anyway, that will help too.
