    I don’t think there was a USCIS error, sounds like your son aged out in to F2B so wasn’t eligible to adjust status in 2023. But without knowing exact dates (including his DOB) we can’t say for sure. He’s now F1 category so at least 3 years or so from being able to apply to adjust. Which country was he born in?

    Unfortunately, as @Dashinka said expedites are usually only considered when it’s the USC petitioner at risk, beneficiaries circumstances aren’t really relevant. It’s a real shame that the current administration has cancelled the U4U program (which your parents could have used to move to the US and wait whilst their IV apps were being processed). Can your parents move elsewhere, somewhere safer? Perhaps another country in Europe, or a different region of Ukraine? I wish them and you the best, and hope they stay safe.

    Mine came and went but it’s utterly useless anyway. Example - last week the day before approval it said 16 months to go. Then approval the next day and it changed to 27 months to go. 😂

    It’s optional anyway, just leave it blank. Only if filing a paper app though - if you file online the account gets created as part of that.

    Not having anything in your name is really odd and I think will definitely raise flags. Is your name not on the mortgage or lease? Do you not have any bank account you can access? Tax docs? Property or car insurance? If not then think outside the box and look at other stuff - life insurance? Vet bills for any pets? Your will?

    But nobody can come as an immigrant on a non-immigrant visa? So that wouldn’t make any sense. Hopefully it’ll get clarified soon.
  7. appleblossom
    It also says ‘as immigrants’ though? Presumably that means immigrant visas, so it would be odd if fiancés are permitted but spouses aren’t.

    Where are you checking a box? Question 3.a. of which form? How long did the I-130 take to be approved and what age is the child now?

    The only way you'll know is when you actually get the letter giving you the reasons for refusal. Easier said than done I know, but I'd just wait until then rather than trying to guess.

    Did you ever set an online account up? If not, then you won't have one, and can ignore that question.

    Is your wife the beneficiary or petitioner? As said above, it’s only the USC that is relevant to the expedite request. I doubt those would be valid reasons (look at how many choose to live in California at risk of major earthquake!) but it’s free to ask so you might as well give it a try.

    I suspect it means that as I guessed above you’ve missed the cut off for May - i.e. they’re scheduling for those DQ’ed before then, letters being sent now are for those in late April and early May. If you were DQ’ed on 19th May then I think you were too late for a May IL but will get one in June, for a Sept interview. So not long to wait now. Good luck.

    Depends on the consulate. Could be a couple of months until they get an interview, could be a couple of years (or anywhere in between). Good luck, hope they’re not at a consulate with a big backlog.

    If it helps, ours was received overnight, we received it at 1.09am so woke up to find it in our inbox, but others have had it later or earlier. Please do fill in your timeline to 'pay it forward', thanks.

    It's not about being in a hurry or not, it's about being eligible. If the program is cancelled then there will be no way to stay and do AOS.

    I've certainly heard of lot of petitions being refused for errors, and people having to refile. Not sure about the signature specifically though. It would be much quicker/easier to just refile, and there's not much difference in cost so I really can't see any advantage to the I-290b personally, but your call. Best of luck.
  17. appleblossom
    But you have no grounds to have it reopened. It was correctly denied, so I don't see how a I-290b would work personally.
  18. appleblossom
    How can you forget your birthday?!? That makes no sense. You'll have to provide official documentation to back up the date of birth you gave too i.e. your passport and birth certificate. So if it's different you'll be out of luck, KCC won't give it out to you as they see many fraudulent cases and some people 'buy' a winning entry, so they will expect you to know your own DOB and what you put on your original entry.
  19. appleblossom
    Sorry but I don't understand what you're asking. You wrote KCC for what? Exactly what stage are you at, and where did you forget to write your DOB? Also, which country are you from?
  20. appleblossom
    Yep, if mistake was on your part then another vote for just filing again. A I-290b would only be relevant if the mistake was on USCIS's side.
  21. appleblossom
    The I-360's aren't relevant, neither are the I-130's. I'm asking about the receipt number from when you paid the green card fees (after the visas were granted - usually done just before or after entry to the US on those visas). It'll start with IOE, that's what you need to check.
  22. appleblossom
    So no I-485 then. You just need to follow the guide on the website for each step - 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.

    I'm really sorry about your cancer, and the situation you're in, but I don't think you're understanding. There is NO visa available to him by law until his Priority Date is current. So there is no way to expedite it (unless you can get a new immigration law passed!). But if he's with you in the US then hopefully that will suffice for now, at least you can be together? Have you and your daughter both petitioned for him? You say you applied in 2025?
  24. appleblossom
    Ok. As I said, I don’t know what the latest is since the FRP program was cancelled back in Feb. I thought that the previous court decision to restart it had been overruled again but I can’t really keep up. Even if it has been reinstated I wouldn’t rely on being able to do AOS from it, in case things change again. What’s your Priority Date?
  25. appleblossom
    There’s no visa available to him by law, an expedite can’t change that. But if he’s already in the US then even if his PD was current (and you could therefore apply for an expedite) I can’t see any grounds for one as he’s already in the country with you. That said, you say the judge has allowed him to stay until the I-130 has been approved but are you sure about that? It would be odd as even after the petition is approved there is likely to be many years until he gets a visa. I’m so sorry about your diagnosis but glad that your son and his family are able to be with you now and enjoy time together.
