Montreal Consulate EB-2 Interview Wait Time - Part 3
appleblossom replied to TBoneTX's topic in Canada
It may well not have arrived by then anyway, it can take up to 4 months. But if it does then yes, just get it mailed to you. Make sure it's couriered by a traceable service, not just USPS. -

I think she's already divorced from what the OP's said. So the question is, is she out of status now and already accruing unlawful presence - has the ex-husband pulled the I-864/1-485 and/or informed USCIS of the divorce? -

As said above, there have been cases on the forum which you can search for. Hopefully that will help and show you the potential outcome. You can also consult lawyers if you want to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak. Just checking, but presumably her petitioner has cancelled the I-485/I-864? Given the current administration, there's no way I'd risk her being detained by ICE and held before deportation, it's just a horrific thing to risk happening to her. It would be far kinder to understand the restrictions on the visa she entered on, have her go home and then just visit each other (if she gets caught/banned, there will be no way for her to even visit the US until she gets a waiver). Which country is she from? Could you go and live with her maybe? -

I'm all for optimism, but these aren't rules, they're laws. There's a big difference. Rules can be bent as there is often an element of discretion when it comes to applying them. Laws not so much. -

Either way, that route is dead in the water. She should have left as soon as the divorce went through, she has no basis to be in the US now. -

So they only filed for her adjustment of status a month ago but have already divorced? Have they definitely divorced, or are they just separated? When did she enter on the K-1 and when did she marry her petitioner? She needs to leave asap, as she no longer has a basis to stay in the US if she's no longer married to the petitioner. If she overstays she risks a ban which will add complication, cost, and a considerable amount of time to your journey together. Frankly, you're a long way off being able to apply for anything, if she tried now that would not be a good idea! So just plan for her to go home and then to visit each other for the time being, build your relationship, see what happens and then in time look at your visa options. -
Montreal Consulate EB-2 Interview Wait Time - Part 3

You can't track the SSN, but you can track the GC on the case checker page - https://egov.uscis.gov Just put your receipt number in and it will tell you when it's been approved/in production/been sent, etc. And I agree with the suggestion of Informed Delivery, once it's been despatched that's a much better way to track it all the way to your PO Box. -
EB1A interview wait time in London, UK
appleblossom replied to EB1Aspirant's topic in United Kingdom
I think this has been answered elsewhere, but could you please amend your profile so that it says the right visa? It's going to be really skewing the stats for E-2's at the moment! Thx. -

What does this mean? This could be a big issue if she’s yet to enter on her K-1. -

EB2-NIW Waiting for Interview Letter in London 2023
appleblossom replied to OnPoint's topic in United Kingdom
Not if that´s her only time there. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html -
Just seen your previous post, seems you've already petitioned your mother? So a B is far less likely to be granted, as she's shown immigrant intent. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/830853-filed-for-mom-but-she-is-sick/#comment-11057496 You can try, but be prepared for it to be refused. Also, you do need to show funds for the medical care (as mentioned in the link above), as explained in your last thread, your insurance wouldn't normally cover your mother's care. So you'll need to have cash in the bank, that kind of treatment isn't going to be cheap. When did you file the I-130 for your mother?
-
I'm sorry to hear about your situation and wish you and your mother well. Your mother would need a B visa, medical treatment is a valid use of this visa - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visitor.html/visa Get the evidence mentioned in the link above (doctors letter, evidence of ability to pay for the treatment, etc), and then apply. I wish you the best of luck.

I-130's are processed by USCIS, but NVC do the visa availability/visa bulletin. So they're two independent processes, and not related really. There can be a visa available to you but that doesn't mean USCIS will rush to approve your I-130 (just think of spouses of citizens for example, who have no wait for a visa - they still have to wait 18 months or so for the I-130 to be approved).
