    That’s a load of rubbish! You can point him to the NVC processing times page which set them out very clearly (and are usually pretty much spot on) - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html Its usually only 2-3 weeks, you do have to allow a bit of extra time for mailing docs rather than uploading but only an extra week or so. So I’ve got no idea where he’s got a year from. You can look at my timeline for my EB1A case via London. It was a couple of years ago but timelines haven’t changed since then. But more importantly, where are you right now? Because if you’re not in the US then AOS isn’t possible anyway.

    Is your occupation on the TAL list? Any links with high risk countries? There is no expected timeline I’m afraid. Admin Processing can take weeks, months or even years. It varies hugely by every case. Please fill your timeline in, thx.

    **Thread moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas, as OP is hoping to adjust status**

    So IR2 or F2A? If he's 16 months then presumably that's why it's been waived - see the info on the link above.

    What kind of application is this and how old is your son? It would be super helpful if you filled in your timeline. Civil docs etc are listed here, so follow that exactly - make sure you use the country specific guidelines too. That will also explain which fees apply to your son. 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

    Hopefully the I-130 will be the longest stretch unless the OP is at a consulate with a big backlog for interview. NVC is the quickest/easiest bit, only a couple of weeks!

    Just checking, are you a citizen (or is your petitioner a citizen if you're the beneficiary)? Assuming so, then 17 months is the average processing time so you're still just under that - you can check on this link (scroll down to the bottom of the page) to find out when you'll be considered out of standard processing time and when you can submit an enquiry. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ I'm sure you'll hear soon, good luck.
  8. appleblossom
    Oh that's good, you should have it very soon then.
  9. appleblossom
    Yep, ignore it completely. Recently my daughter's case said '16 months to decision' and that was the day before she got her decision. Then on the day she was approved, it jumped up to '27 months to decision'. 😂

    That seems simple enough, and can't see why you'd need a contract, the third option would work? "Notorized letter with explanation of living arrangement".
  11. appleblossom
    It's the usual tracking website, but just put your receipt number in rather than your case number - https://egov.uscis.gov What does that say?
  12. appleblossom
    Once the I-130 is approved it is up to the beneficiaries to continue, they need to complete the DS-260's etc, and yes, it will be one for each of them. They will be sent instructions with the Welcome Letter, or they can follow the step by step process 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

    You can check to make sure you're still within normal processing times here - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ As long as you've not gone over that (I doubt it if it's only been 204 days) then try not to worry, you won't have been forgotten. Good luck, hope you hear soon.

    What name was on the first one?
  15. appleblossom
    So why has the I-90 been submitted? Application process for what?
  16. appleblossom
    What program are you using to fill it in? Is is Adobe Reader? There should be room. But even if there isn't, it's not a big deal. If you feel you want to include the country code and your PDF program won't let you then either (a) just leave that bit blank then fill it in by hand (b) put the full number in the 'additional information' section at the end.
  17. appleblossom
    Unless the ‘false documents stuff’ is anything that has been used to claim the OP is a USC at any point. Then it’s a whole different ball game and would likely mean a lifetime ban with no waiver available.

    If you're moving at the end of July then you should have plenty of time. For residency, a bank account statement, or your SSN with address on it (if it does get mailed), or utility bill will be fine. We didn't need our SSN's to get utility accounts opened in our names. A learners permit would be good too. Good luck.

    **Thread moved to Bringing Family Member of US Citizens to America forum, as question is about eligibility as a petitioner with assets**

    I think he does if he's from Tunisia - check on the country specific interview guidelines on the usual NVC website though. But if you submit his docs quickly then he's likely to be DQ'ed by July, so he may well still have enough time on it by the time he has his interview. And if not, at least it buys you some more time to get the passport updated. My son had one passport number on his DS-260, and then a new one by his interview. Wasn't an issue at all. Remember that some countries are 2+ years from DQ to interview date, so it's really not unusual to have a different passport number by the time the interview rolls around. Good luck.
  21. appleblossom
    Ah, I see. Thanks for updating your timeline to change it now.
  22. appleblossom
    You can. It can be updated at interview, so don't worry about that. It looks as though Tunis is pretty quick for interviews, so he may have entered the US before his passport expires anyway?
  23. appleblossom
    Are you from the UK? If so you can request a second passport. It would be really helpful if you could fill in your timeline, thx.
  24. appleblossom
    I don't know why you're freaking out. You did exactly what you were supposed to do, and as long as you didn't lie at any point then there's no issue.
  25. appleblossom
    OK, so not dual intent. And does she have the 2 year home residency requirement on it?
