    The US will do all that it can to ensure it's done in a 'timely manner', any delay is usually on the part of another country - in this case, presumably Pakistan where records aren't always great, and background checks can be very slow. The officer shouldn't have made that assurance, as it's not up to them how long it takes.

    Has the I-130 been approved? Or you're still waiting for that? It would be really helpful if you could fill in your timeline on your profile.

    Is this a company transfer? Or are you already working in the US? You need a US specific contract, so if you're already working for the company outside of the US they'll need to give you a new contract for your new role in the US. But if you are already working in the US, then yes, your current contract will suffice.

    Too vague a question really. There is no immigrant visa to be obtained just from setting up a business or transferring a business. There is an investment based immigrant visa (EB5) if you have the cash. Or employment based ones. But without knowing what you mean by 'business immigration' (how much investment, how many US citizens will be hired, any unique skills etc), it's hard to help further. Perhaps a consultation with an immigration lawyer to see if there are any options may be the best thing to do.

    The children should be able to get derivative visas from whatever her current visa status is, so they can move over at any time. But to stay longer term, as said above, you'll need to petition for them - just as you'll need to petition for her if she wants to stay in the US.

    That’s odd anyway. Why is he travelling on his own, without his wife, and not seeing you? Depending on their nationality, your sister may be much more likely to be granted a visitor visa than her husband. So they may want her to try for her to come and visit you alone.

    Then if you search VJ for that term with expedite you’ll find threads that would be useful. But you’ll need proof (medical records, doctors letter) to show the USC’s medical issue and why you need it expedited. And then if it’s granted you’d need to do the same at the NVC stage. Which family member are you petitioning for? Please fill in your timeline.

    Surely they’ve already provided this for your I-140 application? So you just need an up to date copy of that, and your employment contract.
  9. appleblossom
    Lots have, what’s your reason for an expedite?

    Your PD isn't current yet, so there is no visa available to you anyway. Exactly what date is your PD in Nov 2021? Please fill in your timeline! Once there is a visa available to you and you are added to the queue for an interview, it’ll be quite a while as Lagos has a big backlog. I think it’s about 18 months for a spousal interview, so yours is likely to be a longer wait as they’ll be prioritised.

    Exactly, so you don’t need the physical card. I travelled internationally several times before I got my card, it was no issue at all. They both serve the same purpose. The only downside is you can’t have an interview for Global Entry until you have a GC, but that’s not the end of the world and you can still apply for other programs.
  12. appleblossom
    It doesn’t mean anything really, except it’s being dealt with electronically now. Most cases are. As for how it will take, we’d need a lot more info to give you an idea of that - what type of case, your Priority Date, which consulate etc.
  13. appleblossom
    Yes, but it doesn’t really matter if you don’t get them until Sept or even later, it’s not like you need them for anything before then. It’s just a pain you have to spend time chasing them but as long as you get them before the beginning of 2025 that’s all good.
  14. appleblossom
    It'll be a problem with their photos or biometrics I'd think, my daughter had the same thing. So frustrating that they don't contact you to tell you that and you have to wait the 90 days! But helpfully in a month or so's time you'll have an appointment for them to be redone, and once that happens the physical GC will only take a few weeks to arrive. Good luck.

    If you've been given something saying the visa is approved, why do you think there is a problem? Can you upload a copy of the letter? Obviously block out any identifying info.
  16. appleblossom
    Not unless you can give us the info asked for above - visa type (F2A?), consulate (Naples as you've now put Italy on your profile?) and what exactly you've been asked to provide.
  17. appleblossom
    No, because that's immigration fraud. There is no way to skip the large queue of people ahead of you, but it may not be as long as 2 years as things have sped up a bit recently, and there is also this option once the I-130 is approved (which takes about a year), if she's eligible - https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/dhs-announces-family-reunification-parole-processes-for-colombia-el-salvador-guatemala-and-honduras I agree with the suggestion above to tell her you're moving to Colombia instead and see what her reaction is, make sure she's not just using you for a green card, as unfortunately it happens all too often.
  18. appleblossom
    I think you'll need to be more specific - what type of visa, and which consulate? Please fill in your VJ timeline.
  19. appleblossom
    So the status just says ‘payment received’?
  20. appleblossom
    The visa in her passport acts as a temporary green card once it's been endorsed upon entry. It's valid for one year.
  21. appleblossom
    The OP is asking about her father's case, not an adopted child. NVC doesn't take that long to review documents. You can see their current processing times on their website, it's currently one week exactly. In the last 6 months the longest it's taken was 2 weeks. OP, if your father has a record of his lost passport, you can put that number in for now (it may just turn up anyway). Then you can update it once you get the new one. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    No, just from knowledge and threads on VJ. Which other country do you reside in? I can't imagine anybody would have 'multiple residencies', maybe one other if they live between two countries. Where do you pay taxes? That's usually a good way to tell where you'd be considered resident by a government.
  23. appleblossom
    What makes you say that, is it from personal experience at the Islamabad consulate? Their website says "both parents must attend the interview" so I think the OP should double check that advice.
  24. appleblossom
    If a Welcome Letter is expected, it shouldn't take anywhere near that long. There is a processing page from NVC that gives exact timeframes, it's usually only a week or two, although has jumped up a bit recently. OP, what does your case status say when you check it, and when was your I-140 approved?
  25. appleblossom
    It won't be an issue at all, but you might want to move your case to the other consulate if it would suit your timelines better. Most people would love to have the option to have their case processed somewhere other than Montreal!
