    As you say, it’s only been one working day since your interview. I’m sure it will change this week though, good luck.

    1. As said above your receipt number is from the fee, not your case. 2. This is the website you need to use - https://egov.uscis.gov/. Not sure if you saw my response on your previous thread? 3. If there is a delay (after 90 days of entry, or paying the fee, whichever came later) then you complete this form - https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDCForm.do?sroPageType=ndc&entryPoint=init

    Ah, ok, so it’s just your petition that’s been approved, not your visa? Police cert validity is set out on the usual website - 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 Scroll to the bottom of the page.

    As @Crazy Cat said, we need more info to help you. You don’t normally schedule your own immigrant visa, it’s done for you, but if you can advise on the type of case etc, somebody can help.
  5. appleblossom
    Since your visa approval? If you’ve already been issued a visa then you don’t need any police certs.
  6. appleblossom
    What does your case status say?
  7. appleblossom
    Country says Ghana but consulate is Armenia, is that right?
  8. appleblossom
    Just checking, you are a USC? Not a LPR? Have either of your I-130’s been approved, or both of them still waiting?

    It would depend on the answer to my question above which you’ve not answered. How did she enter the US, presumably as normal on her B2 i.e. through an airport POE? How long has she overstayed? Should mean she’ll be fine once it’s filed, but don’t wait any longer, get it filed urgently - with the incoming new administration next week, you really don’t want her to be in the US illegally.

    It will depend on how long she’s lived in Germany, but you can check it yourself on the usual website, just jump ahead to step 7 - 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 Also check the country specific guidelines to see exactly what police certs will be required and how to obtain them - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html/ Good luck.

    How did she enter the US and how long has she overstayed? Should be fine for you to petition her but just checking. Please don’t type all in caps, it’s considered ‘shouting’, thanks.
  12. appleblossom
    What’s her current status? You should be able to file concurrently.
  13. appleblossom
    As said above, that’s for the whole process. But it does depend on who you’re sponsoring and which consulate they’ll be applying at, it can take much longer depending on those things. If you can fill in your timeline then you’ll get a more accurate idea.
  14. appleblossom
    Afraid I don’t know, you’ll have to search and see if you can find relevant threads/timelines, but I’d imagine it will be quicker in SA so if you’re currently resident there it may be worth requesting a transfer. Good luck.

    The interview scheduling process hasn’t changed, just wait times are longer after Covid and the backlogs. It’s very odd that it’s taken 4 years to get to this point, if he’s an immediate relative it shouldn’t have been anywhere near that long. Just checking, but you petitioned him as a US citizen, not a green card holder? Not sure if there is a thread about DQ to IL timings for Kigali but you can check, it’s also worth searching timelines as well. Best of luck.
  16. appleblossom
    It depends on the consulate, it can be as quick as 2 months or take as long as 2 years. How old is your stepson, and which consulate will he be interviewing at?
  17. appleblossom
    Ah, it must have been deleted.
  18. appleblossom
    Where’s Canada come from? Unless I’m going doolally (always a possibility) I can’t see where he mentions it?

    When were you DQ’ed and what is your PD? Please fill in your timeline on your profile. What does your online case status say, has London definitely accepted the transfer? And what is your country of birth? There isn’t usually a 60 day letter from London as the wait isn’t that long. Most people get an IL well before that.

    The I-130 is only the first step in the process (that’s around 15 months at the moment). You then apply for your immigrant visa once that’s approved, processing time will vary depending on the consulate. Once the immigrant visa is granted, you enter the US on it and your green card then arrives 2-3 months after that. Visiting in the interim shouldn’t cause your I-130 petition or visa application to be denied. Best of luck.
  21. appleblossom
    If you’ve submitted everything they asked for then there’s nothing to do but wait it out I’m afraid. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    Some have, yes, but it would depend on the grounds for the waiver. Some cases wouldn’t be recommended for DIY, if this is the misrep you asked about previously then I’d definitely say a good lawyer is needed to make a good hardship case for your husband’s own specific circumstances.
  23. appleblossom
    How long were you together (physically) after the marriage before you separated? Even if you have met the criteria of being together in person after the marriage, I’d wait until you’ve had at least one more in person visit - and ideally more than one. If it’s been 10 years then don’t rush it now and risk a denial. Also, which consulate?
  24. appleblossom
    As Boiler said, no, it’ll be exactly the same process as last time, you need to go for the interview and then they would recommend you for a waiver if applicable. Current NIV waiver processing times are 9-10 months so don’t book any travel until you have it in hand.
  25. appleblossom
    And did you need a waiver last time? If so you’ll need one again, but if the waiver was granted last time there’s no reason to think it won’t be again.
