    That's easy enough to do, just go on to Booking.com or a similar site and choose one that you can cancel for a full refund. But where does it say you need all this to apply for the visa?
  2. appleblossom
    Final action dates. The filing dates are for submitting your docs to NVC, paying fees, completing the DS-260 etc - and you've already done that to become DQ'ed. So now you're waiting for your date to become current on Table A. H1B isn't likely to help you either as unless it's a cap exempt role then even if you get lucky in the annual lottery, you can't start the job until October. So TN is probably the only option for an August start date if the job is eligible? But your employer should help you and supply the lawyer to see what may be feasible.

    No, they don't give interviews for people who aren't eligible for a visa. It says it on this page, scroll down to 'Documentarily Complete' and there it says "Please keep in mind, applicants in a numerically limited (preference) visa category can receive an appointment, their priority date must also be current". Once your PD is current you'll then be added to the line for an interview. Good luck.

    OK, so make sure you stay unmarried, but sounds like you've got at least a couple of years before an interview. Good luck.

    Was he given a piece of paper and if so, what did it say? Sounds like he's being put in to AP, there are a few issues they need to check out.

    So your PD wasn't current until May, you weren't added to the line for an interview until then. Still far too early for Ghana then I'd say, particularly given the info from @nastra30. Just to confirm, you've not got married since your I-130 was submitted?
  7. appleblossom
    Ignore all of the above completely! In my defence, it’s early and I’ve not had coffee yet. F11 isn’t F2A, it’s F1. Doh! 😂 @Lil hommie, what’s your exact PD?
  8. appleblossom
    It’s usually pretty quick as they know that people may need to get back urgently. They’ll just check that you have maintained your LPR status and that everything is in prefer (i.e. you’ve paid fee etc) and then an interview will be scheduled. Can’t speak for the Copenhagen embassy but London was only 2 days, and as Copenhagen is quoting only 1 day wait for non-immigrant visas yours should be super quick. Make sure you take plenty of proof of your life in the US with you. Good luck.

    Just looked at your other posts (please fill in your timeline!), it says you were DQ’ed 3.5 years ago? Which even for Ghana is too long I’d say. Are you sure you’re still F2A? Seems like you might have aged out in to F2B which would explain why you’ve not had an interview date. What does your online status say? And how old are you, how long did your I-130 take to be approved??

    Have you got a link to where it says bookings paid in full are required? I find that a bit odd, normally you’re told not to book non refundable things before having a visa in hand!
  11. appleblossom
    F11 is F2A on the Visa bulletin - each category has sub categories for visa classification, for example I applied under EB1 and my visa said E11. My spouse was E19, my children E15. https://ohss.dhs.gov/topics/immigration/lawful-permanent-residents/immigrant-classes-admission#immigration-for-employment

    It’s not done by Priority Date, interviews are scheduled by DQ date (for those whose PD’s are current). So what is your PD and when were you DQ’ed?
  13. appleblossom
    No, your DQ date is when you received an email to say your case was documentarily complete, i.e. you’d paid your fees, completed your DS-260 and all of your mailed documents had been accepted. If your case was transferred to NVC in mid December 2023 then it’s unlikely to have been before Jan 2024 at the earliest. Thank you for filling in your timeline - it’s a pet peeve of mine, when people want answers to questions but can’t be bothered to fill their timeline in to help others! Particularly with us EB applicants as there aren’t that many of us around so the more timelines the better. Best of luck, hope you get an IL soon.
  14. appleblossom
    A timeline would be much more helpful! Have you got the link to it?
  15. appleblossom
    Were they also an EB applicant? Or immediate relative?
  16. appleblossom
    That would make more sense! So probably just missed the cut off for this month, assuming his PD is current.
  17. appleblossom
    You're aware that your PD isn't current? So you're not even in line for an IL yet as there is no visa available to you. A temp employment visa is your only option for August 2025, I can't see you having your EB2 by then, but any of them are going to involve the employer spending some money. Might be time to ask them for a chat with their immigration lawyer to discuss the options?
  18. appleblossom
    Is it EB2? And were you born in Iran or elsewhere? Is your DQ date right, just 3 days ago? If so you've got a long wait before an interview. Please fill in your timeline to help others, thanks.
  19. appleblossom
    What's your Priority Date? Please fill in your timeline, thx. A job offer won't be a valid reason to expedite an EB2 NIW - the whole point of that visa route is that you don't require a job offer for it.
  20. appleblossom
    It's made no difference at all, but there's probably at least another decade to go until there is a visa available. If you filed for the address changes then that's fine but your case is all electronic now anyway, so your next step will be an email when the case is sent to NVC. And addresses can just be updated when the time comes to do the DS-260. How old are the 2 children?
  21. appleblossom
    That’s for F2B but OP says spouse is a citizen now. So F1 category, possibly F3, depending on what ‘and family’ means. If that includes a spouse now then they’ve still a decade or more to go. @cmellgren, it doesn’t change anything, all of the old paper cases are gradually being migrated to the online system but that’s all it is.
  22. appleblossom
    There's no set timescale I'm afraid, it depends on the checks they're doing. It's just a case of waiting and keeping an eye on her CEAC status. Good luck.
  23. appleblossom
    Yes, if he's eligible (and sounds like he is if he has already been a joint sponsor). So if needed he can be added when they get to the point of the NVC side of things, which is a while away (possibly as much as a decade away, depending on the age of the kids).
  24. appleblossom
    Then you need to get his green card corrected, by filing an I-90.
  25. appleblossom
    Ideally both parents would petition them as it will take so long, so that you have a second parent application as 'back up' in case something happens to one of them. But if it's easier just your Mom could petition them, it doesn't matter that she doesn't work as long as she has a joint sponsor that qualifies. I'm not really following the name differences on each document, but if it's wrong on the green card/SSN then you need to get them corrected anyway.
