    So not only are they making up figures to try and get you to sign up with them (there is no way of them knowing the situation of applicants etc), but they're also suggesting that your gf commits immigration fraud?!? It is an interview under oath, and any lies could result in a lifetime ban from the US. I would run, not walk, from this company as they sound dodgy as hell. Just get her to apply on her own, be truthful, and see what happens.

    Congrats! I don't think I've ever seen anybody say SB-1's are always denied, but the general advice on VJ is to just get yourself on a plane if the GC is still valid. We've seen people who've been out for many, many years be admitted with no issues. Hope your move back to the US goes smoothly.

    You won't have your GE approval, as you can't be approved without an interview. But you can be interviewed on arrival in August and then hopefully be approved and it for future trips. I'd recommend the MPC app if you don't have it already, lots of family and friends from the UK have used it when visiting us and breezed through immigration, you get to skip the huge line and it's just much easier.

    You should be contacted either way but yes, plenty are rejected. I'd chase it up if you've definitely heard nothing (assume you've checked your junk/spam folder?) as you should have had a decision by now.
  5. appleblossom
    I would personally. A waiver for what?
  6. appleblossom
    I'd find one via AILA personally - https://www.aila.org

    Leaving aside that it's mind blowingly bad for the environment, then yes, if you're relying on it for immigration legal advice. We've seen several people on the forum be given duff advice by AI and assumed it's correct, when it's not. Only ever go with what a qualified and experienced immigration lawyer tells you.

    Even if there wasn't a ban in place, you couldn't assume your visas would be issued after interview. It's always possible that you can be rejected after Admin Processing is done after the interview, the ban makes no difference to that. Once the visa is issued and in hand, then you know you're good.
  9. appleblossom
    I would go to the interview, and then it’ll be put in to Admin Processing until the ban is lifted. Are you still an eligible derivative or have you aged out?
  10. appleblossom
    What card?
  11. appleblossom
    When exactly was she DQ’ed? Has she been receiving the standard ‘60 day letter’ every couple of months since then? And just to confirm, you’re a US citizen?
  12. appleblossom
    The petition was your bit but now it’s their visas to apply for so let them crack on with it! Shame about the 3 year old but at least by the time your sibling is eligible s/he will be an adult so they don’t need to worry about leaving him/her alone.
  13. appleblossom
    I'm guessing, but it probably just means 'most cases except for those that have been expedited' or similar situations. If yours is standard processing then you should be included in 'most cases'.

    Wow, sibling one was approved super quickly. Does your brother/sister have kids? Usually you want their I-130 to take as long as possible to try and avoid any dependents aging out in the future. Most people on here do the NVC part themselves, but have a look as it's laid out step by step so you can see what you think. As long as you follow the instructions carefully and read everything then you should be fine - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

    OK, just checking as often they want them mailed, but as it's not an original doc I guess that's why. You won't get anything to confirm they've received it, so it's just a case of waiting until they get a chance to look at it and do any background checks needed. Best of luck.
  16. appleblossom
    Unfortunately very common for Nigerians.
  17. appleblossom
    It varies. You're just too early, they're scheduling for those DQ'ed in Feb/March now. So hopefully next month or possibly August. Do prepare yourself for being put in to AP after the interview as well though, don't book any flights or shipping until you've actually got the visa in hand. Best of luck.
  18. appleblossom
    Were you asked to send them via email?
  19. appleblossom
    Can you fill your timeline in? It would be super helpful, thanks.
  20. appleblossom
    What date in February? Please fill your timeline in when you get a mo, thanks. If it's only been 3 weeks then it's probably just too early but I'd imagine you'll get an IL next month, for an interview around Sept time.
  21. appleblossom
    Usually very quick. What's your Priority Date and which country were you born in?
  22. appleblossom
    You won't get clarity without giving us the details asked for. But presumably you've provided all of that info to your lawyer, and if s/he says it will be forgiven, then they should know. Don't ever use ChatGPT for immigration advice!
  23. appleblossom
    It would not be acceptable, no. The instructions are super clear, they say 'every/all……..ever issued to you' so you must include every one. They'll be able to see both anyway, so trying to hide one wouldn't be a good idea. You also have to provide evidence that you've completed the 2 year HRR if applicable, so that should be it obvious to the reviewer that you've completed the requirement for the first program.
  24. appleblossom
    Yes, on your profile page. And yes, details absolutely matter, if you just worked cash in hand with the employer not doing any checks then no problem (forgiven for spouses of USC’s). But if you provided fraudulent documents to get the job then it could be very different. Did you declare and pay taxes on the money? How much unauthorised work are we talking about?
  25. appleblossom
    You haven’t been transferred to an embassy, as @Crazy Cat said that won’t happen until you’ve been DQ’ed at NVC and an interview has been scheduled for you. You can check your case status on CEAC to see where it is. I agree with the above, maybe professional help is the way to go? I did 4 DS-260’s for myself and my family and it took me an afternoon, if you’re struggling then maybe paying somebody to help would be well worth the investment. Good luck.
