    We used Fragomen, they were great and have an NYC office. But ours was a more complex case (EB1A), if yours is a K1 do you really need an attorney?
  2. appleblossom
    He's already applied in April - see the later post. But it's F2A and Nigeria, so won't be 2 years.

    What does this mean? You need to know how long the I-130 took to be approved, that's crucial. It sounds like his eldest will qualify as they're almost current, but you do need to find that info out as you can't do a CPSA calculation without it.
  4. appleblossom
    What document was missing?
  5. appleblossom
    Do you mean they won't answer your query via phone? Assume you've tried the number on their website? https://de.usembassy.gov/contact/#frankfurt

    It is possible, but unlikely. AP can take months or even years. If you can reapply for next year can you do that asap, so that you can get the visa application in early maybe? Best of luck, hope you can find a way to make it work.
  7. appleblossom
    Yes, you would likely get put in to AP again, but you'd have more time for that to be completed. So if it's possible then could you ask them to defer your place to the next year's program so you'd have a full year for processing?
  8. appleblossom
    That and being Russian is probably it. Is there an opportunity to reapply for next year's program maybe?

    You don't get to select a date, you just send it in as part of your package, via VFS - https://qa.usembassy.gov/visa-interview-waiver/ So definitely wait until you return if you are about to travel and need your passport. What kind of visa are you applying for?
  10. appleblossom
    It specifically mentions IR-1/CR-1. ´E.g’ means for example. As it is very unlikely to apply to you by the time Rachael becomes eligible for a visa I don’t think you need to plan anything, or worry about it for a long time (if at all).
  11. appleblossom
    As it says in the link above, immediate relatives on CR1/IR1 are exempt from the current ban. But if you’re still currently a LPR then that’s not relevant anyway as your wife's case is F2A? She’s still many years away from a visa, realistically she probably won’t get one until the next administration is in power. So it’s fairly pointless worrying about something that isn’t likely to be relevant by then anyway. The only visa classes exempt from the ban are listed in the proclamation, B visas aren’t among them.
  12. appleblossom
    If it’s only been 2 months then it’s probably just too early. But yes, assuming you did pay the fee you can track it using the receipt number here - https://egov.uscis.gov What does that say?
  13. appleblossom
    They didn’t have a lapse, they’re asking for your daytime phone number, so that’s what you give them. Whichever number is best to contact you on. You simply add the country code i.e. mine was +44 7790 xxxxxx. If it doesn’t fit, make the font smaller or write smaller.
  14. appleblossom
    Other way around but yes, so he’s not current yet and there’s nothing you can do to stop him aging out. You won’t know if he’s eligible under CPSA or not until a visa is available to him. Hopefully the I-130 took a long time to be approved? As you can take that time off your nephews age to give you his ‘adjusted age’ under the CPSA - i.e. if the I-130 took 3 years then he’d still be eligible for a visa up to his 24th birthday (just as an example).
  15. appleblossom
    You say he’s been DQ’ed but is his PD current? Where was he born?
  16. appleblossom
    That would still take pretty much as long, as he’d still need to wait for his PD to become current before he could file the I-485. Him being in the US wouldn’t change that. I assume you didn’t file for him when you were a green card holder, is he married? It’s a decade or so, but he can explore other visa options in the interim, if he’s eligible for an employment based green card then it can be MUCH quicker (got mine in 5 months). But that will depend on what he does and if he has skills in demand in the US. Good luck.
  17. appleblossom
    Admin Processing. But I thought you should have had a visa by now as you’d been put in the wrong category by mistake? What happened with that? If your PD isn’t current (you still haven’t completed your timelines so no idea if that’s right or not - you make it very difficult to help you without that!) then it’s NVC you need to contact, not the consulate.
  18. appleblossom
    You weren’t in AP before, what happened? Did you get a good lawyer and has your case been reinstated?
  19. appleblossom
    Looks like it -
  20. appleblossom
    Assuming your wife got an immigrant visa via her home consulate then it’s pretty much the same process, same timescale, same fees etc. So follow the same guide you did last time - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html As Boiler has said their child can’t be included so they’ll need to be prepared to be apart from him for a long time (his will take much longer as he’s not an immediate relative - probably at least 10-15 years).
  21. appleblossom
    Apply for what, and which consulate? If you have to travel internationally then don’t submit your passport until after you return.
  22. appleblossom
    Ok, so hopefully they won’t age out in to F2B then, if your MIL is already at the NVC stage. 🤞
  23. appleblossom
    Other EB applicants haven’t had it though. There’s no rhyme or reason it seems!
  24. appleblossom
    Only other thing is getting health insurance if you’ve not sorted that already, but nothing else for USCIS. They’ll have your address from when you paid the GC fee. Did you read the link I gave you above? Please do follow the links there, there’s tons of info on your obligations as a LPR and setting up life in the US including how to get an SSN.
  25. appleblossom
    When do you need to start the job? Please fill in your timeline, it’s really hard to help you without that info, and it helps other EB applicants too.
