    Long wait at Islamabad, it’s about 15 months for immediate relatives and they’ll be given priority over your category. So I’d guess approx 18-24 months. Good luck.

    So your children aren’t USC’s already? Have you filed I-130’s for them too?
  3. appleblossom
    You’ll need a translator/agency that can help then. Good luck.

    Book an appointment online? https://mofa.gov.iq/manila/

    It says on the link above "Applicants outside Iraq can apply for a certificate through the Iraq Embassy or Consulate in their country of residence"

    To a USC?

    See the sticky thread from the spousal forum - She may get the visa before the summer, but if not you may need to make plans to travel to her for the birth. Good luck.

    You can file a Writ of Mandamus to force them to make a decision - have a hunt in the forum as there is a guide somewhere for doing it yourself.

    Can you upload a copy of the denial letter (obviously redacting any personal info)?

    It’s not much better in India, hopefully the OP’s parents aren’t traveling for a while. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html

    @DRO, please fill in your timeline too, to pay it forward and help others. Thx.

    You’re aware that your visa will only be valid for 6 months from the date of the medical? Not sure what info you need to prepare, but everything you need to know about what to take is on the usual website (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html) and lots of us have shared our interview experiences on the forum if you want to have a hunt. Mine was 2 questions, and super easy. Just take a book or something, I was there for hours, way after my allotted time slot as they were running late. Good luck.

    And just to confirm that was what was taken to the interview? Not just a photocopy of it?
  15. appleblossom
    You said brother, not nephew? But that’s fine, it’s better if he doesn’t have family in the US. Good luck to him.
  16. appleblossom
    It’s on your profile, thanks.
  17. appleblossom
    That’s good, I was thinking it’s tough enough for Nigerians to get a F1 without adding a US based sibling in to the mix as well!

    I suspect it was taking up space, you said you couldn’t message me but I don’t have any restrictions on messages so it must have been a size issue for the message. But in any event, there’s really no need to be like that when somebody is kindly trying to help you for free. If you want somebody to look at your docs and give you advice then a lawyer would be the way to go instead. But you might want to confirm who owns what, as this is your wife’s petition. And you say ‘I’ - so what is in her name?
  19. appleblossom
    If it’s only been 2 weeks then that’s not 55 days so probably just too early. He should keep checking though. Are you in the US?
  20. appleblossom
    You’re not, please fill in up to this point (I-140 etc). It’s still very helpful. So if you’re EB1C you don’t require AOS, but you do require other docs from your employer as it’s not self petitioned. Your company's lawyers will prepare the docs and help you with that. Good luck.

    How long has he been trying to get an interview? It’s currently showing 200+ day wait for F1 interviews in Lagos. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html
  22. appleblossom
    Yes, that’s right for EB1A, we’re self petitioned. But other EB cases aren’t, and I know this is a thread for EB1A applicants but @A.K.D. hasn't specified which type of EB case he’s asking about. This is part of the reason it’s so important for us all to fill in our timelines - partly because then we’d know what kind of case people are asking about, but also to pay it forward and help all of the other EB applicants out there. Please fill yours in too, thx.
  23. appleblossom
    It would only be a guess as nobody knows what will happen in the future. But you’re looking at at least 10 years for F2B, if your parents filed now, and for EB2 you probably have a similar time left. The one advantage of EB2 is that you could get married and take a future spouse with you, unlike F2B. But personally I’d get your parents to petition you as well, so you have multiple options and can then go with whichever becomes current first. No need for a lawyer though, just the filing fees.
  24. appleblossom
    Only some EB cases are. @A.K.D., is yours EB1A or another EB category? Please fill in your timeline, thx.
  25. appleblossom
    It is crazy, I requested ours online and got them sent via email just a few hours later! I’ve no idea why it would take longer than a few days, hopefully the OP will get them soon and save having to pay for the titre test.
