    The checklist does say original or certified copy. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/LND-London.html#pre_interview_checklist

    Yes, as above, that's what I did. 1hr 45mins each way in to London, very common where I lived. Most people who work in London can't afford to live there! But if you want to live apart then make sure it's only during the week (go home every weekend) and make sure you have LOTS of proof of a genuine relationship and co-mingling all of your affairs. Joint bank account, health insurance, taxes, wills, insurances, shared vacations, phone calls, etc, etc. You should also keep evidence of your job hunt in the town where you wife lives, to show you couldn't find any work there. Good luck.

    Do you mean the DS-260? You do need an address for that, but just put wherever you'll be staying to start with for now. For us that was just a hotel address - we then updated it at interview as we'd rented a house by then.

    If you haven't filed yet then how are you working? And I did it for many years, most people I know commuted in to London from where I lived (about 1hr 45 mins away). But if that's not an option then presumably you'd be going home every weekend? You'd need to keep good evidence of that and go overboard with other evidence.
  5. appleblossom
    So have you already filed for AOS? For 1hr 40 min I think I'd commute rather than risk it.

    How far apart are the two places? Presumably not far if you can get back every weekend? Could your wife move to be with you instead maybe? It could well be problematic if you're living at separate addresses. What kind of case is this, AOS from a K-1?

    The general consensus used to be after a year of AP, but recently even those have been dismissed in court I believe - if you search the forum you'll find some recent experiences. Good luck.

    Was that an AI response?! 😂 If you're in Afghanistan, then you definitely need to apply asap. Ideally you'd have applied at least 6 months ago, don't delay it any further. You might also want to find out about whether or not you can defer your course start date in case you are put in to AP. Best of luck.

    Suing after only 60 days would be a waste of money, filing a WOM after such a short time would mean the case is very likely to just be thrown out. Your senator can't help either, AP can't be expedited. So it's just a case of wait and see, and hope that it's not too long. Good luck.

    You need to be truthful, so must put the actual date. Which country are you in and where have your clients been? A lot of countries do allow you to work remotely without a work permit so you may not have been doing anything wrong anyway.
  11. appleblossom
    Then the long wait is your only option. If you want to try and find a remote job, make sure you tell your potential employer where you want to work for a third of the year to be sure they're ok with that - a lot of companies have time zone or location restrictions even for 'remote' jobs. Good luck.

    You'll be sent a document checklist when you have your interview booked - it will tell you what needs to be original and what doesn't.

    Also, please fill in your timeline to help other EB applicants, thanks.
  14. appleblossom
    About 3 weeks. As I said on the other thread, add 7-10 days or so on to the stated processing times from NVC, it takes a bit longer as they have to open the mail and scan the docs in manually for EB applicants.
  15. appleblossom
    14 months for just the I-130. And it's because there's a big queue of people ahead of you, it's not the actual processing time. If you fill in your timeline on this forum you'll get a more accurate estimate. Then the NVC side of things is usually only 1-2 months after that (if you submit docs and pay fees quickly). As above, the biggest variable in the whole process is the wait for an interview - that can be as quick as 3 months, or as long as 2 years.
  16. appleblossom
    It's very quick now (used to take months and months!), but add about a week or so on to the quoted timescales for EB applicants as it takes a bit more time. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html Good luck.
  17. appleblossom
    That's not great! So glad you got it all sorted in the end.
  18. appleblossom
    Ah, I see. Best of luck, hope you get the IL as a nice gift for the New Year!

    The December bulletin is already released, no movement on it for EB2. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-december-2024.html Sorry, but you won't be able to get an IL in December, hopefully it'll move in January though. 🤞

    It must depend on the mental health issue I think - my daughter had a history of self harm and anti depressants, and Visa Medicals said we had to get the exact wording about not being a risk to herself or others. Or perhaps it's just who you speak to that day! They do seem to be inconsistent, I noticed recently some people have had to have blood tests to prove they have chicken pox immunity, whereas we weren't even asked about it and just had the box ticked automatically. Glad you managed to get the SCR stuff sorted in the end, good luck for the move.
  21. appleblossom
    Too late now I know (sorry, only just saw this) but just for the sake of anybody reading this thread in the future, you can download your SCR yourself from the NHS app. I hope you managed to get it in time.
  22. appleblossom
    Perfect. It shouldn't be too much longer, ours came about 6 weeks after we entered the US.
  23. appleblossom
    Very odd. Maybe try putting IOE in front of your receipt number?
  24. appleblossom
    That's odd, it should do, and that's what you need to use to track the GC. Should start with IOE? When did you pay it?
  25. appleblossom
    Oh, and also, if she can make it just under 6 months then she won't interrupt her 'continuous residence', so will be able to apply for US citizenship earlier too. So I'd suggest she makes it just a bit less than 6 months that she is out of the US for.
