    NVC doesn't schedule the medical, you have to do that yourself. And yes, if you don't have proof of all the vaccines, you can have them done either yourself before the medical, or at the medical. There were quite a few vaccines we needed to have done and just got them done on the day at the medical appointment. It's not cheap though just to warn you!

    You do need to add on a bit of time to that as we have to mail documents, unlike most applicants who just upload them. So I'd assume nearer a couple of weeks for EB applicants (from when the docs are delivered).

    Everybody has AP for some period of time, for some people that can go on for weeks/months/even years, but for most it's super quick and is just the final checks they do before they print your visa. Mine was only in AP for a couple of hours before it changed to 'issued'. As long as there's nothing that would warrant a longer AP (i.e. ties to a high risk country, etc), then hopefully it will change to issued really quickly. Good luck.

    That's not relevant. In a high risk country, you need to do everything you can to prove it's a legit relationship, and not seeing each other in person for over 2 years is a huge red flag.

    If she’s sure she doesn’t want a visa, then there’s no point in her continuing.
  6. appleblossom
    OK, so she needs to cancel her visa application.
  7. appleblossom
    Surely that's up to her? She needs to decide what she wants to do, it's to something you can do for her - it's her visa application. And all you can do is carry on and submit applications for the rest of you as normal, and hope her overstay doesn't cause any issues. Good luck.

    No. AP cannot be expedited, no matter who asks.

    There is nothing he can do but wait it out I'm afraid.

    You have to be honest, so include whatever information you have, and then you can put 'unknown' in other sections, and perhaps explain that there has been no contact for years. Good luck.

    It might well do. But what does 'in the process of applying' mean? What stage are you at? And who exactly is on the application and how old are they? Your mother is happy to live apart from the rest of you? And potentially not be able to visit? If she isn't bothered about being in the US then she needs to leave asap, before she gets a ban.

    More info is needed to help you. Is this a DV lottery case? Who was the principal applicant? Which country? When was your interview and when did the rest of your family get their visas issued?

    Are you also interviewing in Yerevan? You haven’t completed your timeline - please do so so that we can help you, and so you can help others going forward. Thx.

    Unlikely that was it, only certain occupations will have an agent, anybody applying in a STEM field (as I did) won’t have one. It was the most ‘senior’ reference I provided so that could have been the reason why he was chosen for a check.
  15. appleblossom
    I didn’t have an agent or future employer. It was a referee.

    They usually just do background checks on them but they certainly can do - one of mine was contacted for both my O and EB1 visa apps (strangely the same person each time). He was phoned I think.

    Ditto. Even my own family are a stretch after a couple of weeks. The thought of my mother-in-law staying for longer than that would fill me with dread. 😂

    Most people can only take a week or two a year to be with family. Jobs and other commitments don’t allow months in another country for most. If your sibling wants to live in the US with their family then they need to acquire the proper visa.
  19. appleblossom
    No, forget the extension. They’re only granted for a very good reason i.e. if the applicant is in hospital and can’t be moved. Far too risky as the chances of a refusal are high. If you want your sibling to travel with your parents to help them, it would be better for your parents to move their travel date.

    Perfectly normal. AP can take a week, a month, or a year, all you can do is wait unfortunately. Good luck.
  21. appleblossom
    Looking at your previous posts, I'm guessing it's because you met in January and married only 2 months later just before his work visa expired? So they may have a suspicion it's a green card marriage.

    Here you go, this sets it out in fairly clear 'layman's' speak - https://bizlegalservices.com/2023/02/17/recently-revised-cspa-policy-impact-on-consular-processing-cases/ HTH.

    The DOS website isn't relevant, as it was a policy change, not a law change.

    A student visa is highly unlikely to be granted if all their family is in the US. Frankly I think they're going to struggle to get another B visa. They should leave by 3rd December (aim for the week before just in case of flight delays) and they can try and return again but wouldn't risk trying to come back too soon personally. It sort of sounds like they're trying to live in the US on a tourist visa, which obviously isn't allowed. Have you or your parents petitioned for her to get a green card?
  25. appleblossom
    It's just the backlog of people waiting for an interview, you're in a long line unfortunately. Hopefully you'll hear early next year, good luck.
