No-Where-Man

This has nothing to do with Muslims.
He might not be muslim even. I am a muslim and my wife tells me I am the best ever she knewn all her life. and real muslim should not drink.
But we are here to help this lady going through this time. I would appreciate if moderator remove these negative/racist comments.
Mona, you are on the right path. just make sure he does not get his 10 year GC by withdrawing the jonit application.
Here is the process:
If the application withdrawn, then he needs to file by himself(if he ever know it was withdrawn) with a waiver of your signature(and for the waiver to be accepted he needs to have a divorce certificate in his hands and documents proving he did not marry just for GC and the seperation was for other legitimate reasons). and then he needs right away to file by him self
If you withdraw the application, he DID NOT file a single with a waiver(becuase he did not know you waithdraw or so). this mean he might pass his 90 days period to remove his condition(to remove condition he should file 90 days before the 2nd anniversary of his GC , or at anytime if filing with a waiver). in this case his residency is terminated automatically unless he can prove it was out of control he did not file on time.
Glad you made an INFOPASS to get this under control. I apologize if he was a muslim, becuase he did nothing but adding one more wound to us.
Please keep updating us. Thank you.

I don't blame you. I have been away from my wife for only 10 days now, and it is driving us nut. I am just trying to share with you that it happens especially if his name is very common. But yeah, if you can be with him, go for it

Ah, I also wanted to add that getting married will not resolve the AP. Living abroad can help lessening the stress of being a part for sure, but then you will go through the process of submitting i-130 and all that fun stuff which takes currently around 9-12 months processing and still, he could be placed on AP. I am from Egypt and has my handful experience with the embassy there. 
Will keep you in my prayers. 

Once your case is approved at USCIS it is transferred to NVC where it can stay there for a maximum of one year. So you might just leave it at NVC and before the year ends you must contact NVC so the case does not expire and gets processed. That might work for you. 

I did even something better. I filed an extension (which you can file online just like your normal return) and that will extend you filing date until October. Once your wife is here, you can file together when she has her SSN. 
I did that, she got her interview, no questions asked as I included my 2017 W2 as well as the extension confirmation page printed. 
 
However, IRS clearly states that this extention is for the purpose of extending the filing date ONLY. If you owe any money to IRS, you are expected to pay it before the deadline in April. You can estimate the amount due by ACTING AS you are filing a return using the website you usually use stating you are single and once you reach the final page, you can see if you owe any money but simply not to continue to file
 
I hope that answers your question. 
Give it a day or two, system just needs to update.

Hey all. Haven't been here for sometime being busy. 
I got an original interview date for April, 20 but since my wife is due for our first child toward end of April, the embassy was nice enough to accept my request for an expedited interview. So she will be going next week for her interview. So blessed. 
Hope it goes smooth and fast for everyone.

DS-260, the immigrant visa application, will be opened to you once fees shows as PAID. just give it a couple of days. 

While true you can wait for the DOS to contact you, one should be proactive to shave away weeks of waiting by contact NVC regularly to speed the process. Rather than waiting for the welcome letter, call the NVC starting end of next weeks to see if they received your case, then give it another week and start calling again to get a case number IIN. When you get you case number and IIN, give them your email. This will be the main way of communication between you and NVC. That indeed itself cuts the time by days which all of us need. 
In short words, dont wait for them to contact or mail you. Be the one who seeks information and get things done the minute you have the chance too.
Good luck. 

Petitioner and the lawyer can call..

Depends on the embassy procedures. In Egypt, where I am from, once I was done with interview, I was given a paper and was asked to go to DHL office (within the same room), and gave him the papers, paid the fees and got a receipt. 

That is very possible although it is very impractical. it should be first come first served...this is the most fair. My own opinion. 

Happy New Year....Indeed it is OUR year

congratulation. Looking forward to see when will your interview be.

Now you wait until the USCIS send your petition to the NVC. Usually the online status will be updated to (On (date) we sent Your case receipt no------------------ to the department of state). There has been different times frames for when the USCIS send the petition to the NVC. some was sent within a week, and some waited for a month. It depends on the service center and when they send mail out in patches. 
 
Once you get updates it was sent to the department of state (either online or by calling USCIS), it takes a week and up to 6 weeks for NVC to receive the case and enter it in their system to generate a case number.
 
Usually, you should start calling NVC a week after the case was sent from the USCIS to see if NVC received it. Once they receive it and have a case number, give them an email so this would be the way of communication which is faster and more secure.
