    How did you contact USCIS? Did you fill in the form? https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDCForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=ndc If so, that's all you can do for now until they get back to you.

    He's already got a fiancée, he's not trying to find one. And the age limit is a bit creepy, he could be twice that age for all we know! 🤮😂

    Just to confirm, you've also filed I-130 and her Priority Date was current when you submitted the I-485? When does her F-1 expire?
  4. appleblossom
    If you scroll down the processing times page you can check the date you can submit an enquiry for your case, my guess is it'll be far too early though.
  5. appleblossom
    Your previous posts say your I-30 was approved back in June? Or do you mean waiting for an interview? If so, lots will be - some consulates still have a 2+ year wait for interviews. Manila does the odd 'mass expedite' thing, but the last one (a couple of weeks ago) was for those DQ'ed up to April 2024 I believe, so you might be in the next one. Good luck.

    Give it a go then, you might as well. Good luck.

    Which district? For example, for Lubbock Country (after a quick Google), they say 'Both parties must provide their social security number or state they have none.' https://www.lubbockcounty.gov/department/division.php?fDD=2-7#:~:text=*Both parties must provide their,the presence of the Clerk. I'd just give them a call or pop in and ask. It would be very odd if there was no way to get married without one, after all tourists can get married and they definitely won't have one!

    I think the confusion has arisen as you said your father is in Sudan? So not normally resident in Jerusalem/Tel Aviv/Beirut?
  9. appleblossom
    It would be odd if that was a requirement, I don't see how that can be the case. Many K-1's don't even apply for a SSN until after they are married. So I'd speak to somebody in person and see what they say, good luck.

    Sorry, typo, I meant Cairo - they're taking Khartoum cases. You can certainly try it but as it says on the link above only US citizens resident in those particular areas are eligible for emergency filings, so you wouldn't qualify according to that if you live in the US. But give it a go, it's worth a try before you file the I-130. Good luck.
  11. appleblossom
    It doesn't seem as though he qualifies for emergency filing though - as per @Boiler's post, as you say you're currently in the US? So his application will be processed via Khartoum when it gets to that point, but it'll be the same process as your mothers. You could try to expedite the I-130 once you've filed it though, it's worth a try. Good luck.
  12. appleblossom
    It depends on how you're doing it. If eligible for DCF (only certain situations qualify for this i.e. your wife having a job offer in the US that necessitates her moving back quickly), then you apply via the US consulate. If you don't qualify for that, then you file the I-130 online. The consulate won't come in to the process until much further down the line, when you apply for your visa. Good luck.

    It's really odd, as you don't even need to be a US visa holder to get married in the US (just think of how many visitors get married in Vegas!), so wonder why it's needed in this case?
  14. appleblossom
    That just sounds like the receipt form, the card will follow. But why do you need your SSN to get married? I'm curious as I've never heard of that before, assume it's something specific to your state?
  15. appleblossom
    Visiting won't be enough - make sure they're aware of that or they'll be risking their green cards. Good luck.
  16. appleblossom
    Ah, ok. Your parents can't live in Pakistan for the next few years without risking their green cards though? Do make sure they're aware that 'legal permanent resident' means they do have to live in the US to maintain that status. If they don't want to move for a few years they should have waited to apply really. They could apply for a re-entry permit which would allow them to be out of the US for 2 years without losing their green cards, but they'll need to go there first. Just checking that you did declare your sister and parents status on your application? If so, it should be fine, but your chances are very slim of being granted a visa. But all you can do is go to the interview and see what happens. Good luck.

    What do you mean 'my parents got US immigration' then?
  18. appleblossom
    It could be any reason. Your studies won't be evidence you don't plan to immigrate, as presumably they'll be over a long time before you'd get a visa through your parents anyway. So you're going to need stronger ties, and your chances are low with most of your family in the US already. Do you plan to try to move after your studies? If so, your parents should petition for you asap as it will take many years.
  19. appleblossom
    Which consulate? And please give the link you’re using to apply.
  20. appleblossom
    You didn’t mention the card originally, and ‘border crossing’ could mean crossing it legally or illegally - that’s what we were trying to clarify as it makes a big difference.
  21. appleblossom
    2 years unless it's from a former country of residence that you haven't been back to - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html#:~:text=Important%3A Police certificates expire after,the police certificate was issued.
  22. appleblossom
    You can always request your passport back if you need it to travel.
  23. appleblossom
    OK, so the follow to join has probably confused things somewhat. All you can is wait for the I-824, good luck.
  24. appleblossom
    You petition him, it'll be much quicker than your husband doing it. No, no way for him to come on a tourist visa and then apply, that would be immigration fraud.
  25. appleblossom
    I don't think they will either, but just wanted to say there has definitely been 'mention' of action against legal migrants. Hopefully it won't affect the OP though - I was impacted last time (had to delay my move by two years), so really hope any changes to legal migrants are minimal this time around.
