Will they take exactly 12 weeks or can they able to process it within less time. 

Because my priority date will current in next month so i was wondering 

Well, it does not matter if your PD will get current soon, your case will not be processed till you will receive a CC letter. It might take from 8 to 12 weeks.

Hello everyone.
I've a question: When NVC approved, then what happens I must wait until the "final action date" will be current and then interview or "final action date" doesn't matter.

Check VB each month and wait till your PD will get current(final action dates-1st table), then your interview will be scheduled.

Thank you for reply.
One more question: My final action date is 27 August 2011. I'm from Georgia and approximately howlong time need for interview?

Currently they are processing PD 15 March 2011. You should get an interview ~ in half a year.

I am a natural born USC, I could not petition for him. wife is naturalized,  said we received bad advice by waiting until she became a US citizen before applying was informed, would be faster this way. 

 

Ironically when she petitioned for her son, little over nine years went by, for all we knew at the time, another nine years could have gone by.  And by some odd coincidence, a month after he was married, finally received a notice for is interview.  In terms of priority was next in line as a son, if he remained single, but now, way back in the line.

 

We know of a family here in our town from Venezuela, husband is here on a work visa, sent him job applications, but not our decision, but his and his wife's, and have a strong feeling, his wife doesn't want to leave her mother.

 

Chain immigration is on the news, perhaps my greatest comment, it doesn't happen instantly, can take years, or never at all.

 

From another aspect, just wasn't meant to be.

 

Curious as to how others are making out.

So basically his petition was transfered from F1 to F3, what will add 5-6 additional years of waiting (if immigration reform will not hit it). I am not sure why NVC tells you, that it will take 10-12 years if the petition has not been voided?

We were strongly advised to wait until she received her US citizenship, would be much quicker, did this in 2008, it was not until last year, 2017 we finally received a notice from the NVC that he would be called in for an interview, but made the bad mistake of getting married.  Guess you can't expect a young man to stay single all of his life.

 

Response from the NVC was to check with them in the next 10-12 years, if we are still alive by then.  

 

Has your son been petitioned by USC or LPR?

That is correct, thank you.

If you will be asked about your previous jobs and possibly your future plans at interview, you will have to provide this information, so be prepared.

hi everyone,
so i was reading that the consulate in morocco will ask if you ever travelled to a foreign country, if you stayed more than months you need to bring a Good conduct certificat or criminal record from the countey you visted, i have two shengen visas in my passport the one from france and the other from spain, but in france i stayed only for 10 days should i bring this certifacate from both countires ??

Hi,

No. If you lived in other country more than 6 months, then you will need a Police Certificate from the police authorities of that locality.

 I had my interview on the 24th of January in Lagos, Nigeria. It went well and I was approved. The following questions was asked below:

 

Questions:

1. Who petition for you
2. What does your mum do?
3. How many siblings do you have in the U.S
4. Where do you live?
5. Have you live somewhere else?
6. Are you married?
7. Do you have any kid?
8. Gave me a form to declare that if I should get married before I enter the U.S my visa would null and void.
9. Gave me a form about paying for my greencard before leaving.
10. Told me my passport would ne ready in 10 working days.

 

My passport was sent to DHL 3 days after the interview. I am really grateful I found this forum in June, because it actually helped me a lot to be informed about each step before it unfolds. I wish I found it earlier though, we would have salvaged my brothers petition, because we went to alert NVC when he got married as he was also under unmarried children. But as the Lord would have it, my sister also petitioned for him and the priority date is Jan 2006 so we are patiently waiting for them to contact him with a welcome letter, although I know that category does not move a lot and the average wait time is 13 years.

 

I pray you all get interview date and get approved as well, and I pray the new Immigration law put other family members into consideration, because its not good for families to live apart.

 

P.S whats the average wait time for SSN?

Congratulations!

You will receive your SSN in 1-2 weeks. Good luck!

The interview is for next month what to do? ask the info you want 

He already had to declare his prior refusal on DS-260. If this question will be asked at the interview, he should be prepared to answer it and again, all data is stored in the system, so no lies.

Can anyone tell estimated waiting time if PD is AUG2015? How many years left to wait before process starts and visa at hand? What impact (changes in waiting time) will it have on petition if LPR petitioner becomes USC 2018 or 2019?

Your PD would get current ~2022. You have to wait 3-3,5 year before process would start and 4-4,5 year till you would receive visa if immigration reform does not change it.

It is difficult to predict if F1 will move faster than F2B at that moment, but when petitioner will become USC, your petition will be converted to F1 and if F2B would move forward faster, you would have an opportunity to opt-out back to F2B.

My sister won her green card with the diversity visa program and is planning on emigrating to the US end of April 2018.  She petitioned for her adult daughter who is 26 to get her green card in December 2016 and received receipt of her application & fees in January 2017.  She will be emigrating from South Africa.  My question is does it make any difference what country the application is from?  Is it possible to have an I-130 approved in 12-18 months as an agent at NCSIS told us or do all of these applications take several years?  Thanks so much

It takes ~7 years for adult children to receive a visa.

Can fingerprints show the interviews before???

Be aware, that ALL records are in US Embasy's system and you have to answer honestly to all questions you will be asked(without any doubts).

16 minutes ago, AMAT10 said:

Hi I'm worried fingerprints are taken before or after the interview 

Fingerprints are taken after the oath, that you are telling the truth. So it is before the interview.

It is difficult to explain but will traces of pass interview be seen at new interview As it will not happen in the same contry

If it is difficult to explain here,  then make sure, that it would be easy to explain at the time of interview, as you will have to tell what visas do you have, when it was issued, how much time did you spend in US and etc. Be sure, that they have that info in their system. Good luck.

But my agent (who is helping me on this case) told me that, since the marriage is done after the file got converted from F2B to F3, the file will get open when F2B category is current, even though the Preference category is F3?

 

Is it not true?

 

Thanks again for helping me on this.

 

 

Your agent is not telling the truth, I wouldn't trust him.

1. F2B can't get marry during pending petition time, because this category doesn't allow to include spouse as derivative. If that would have happen, petition would be automatically withdrawn and your parrents would have to petition you again as F3 with new PD.

2. You were lucky, that you've got marry when  your category was converted to F1. In this case you are transfered to F3, but your PD is remaining the same 20 September 2011, but F3 has longer wait time, because it's lower priority category.

I received an email from NVC that the Priority Date is  20Sep2011(which is was earlier) and the Preference Category is F3.

 

I also got the below email after the above email:

 

This letter pertains to the immigrant visa petition filed on behalf of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
Because of a change in your visa classification or in the dates used to begin the visa application process,
currently there are no visa numbers available for your visa category. Therefore, NVC must temporarily stop
working on this case.
The reason for this delay is that there are more applicants than there are visas available in your category. When
the priority date on your petition again matches or is earlier than the “Dates for Filing Applications” chart on the
Department of State’s Visa Bulletin, we will be able to start processing your petition. We will contact you at that
time. You do not need to take any action.
To learn which priority dates are currently eligible to be processed, review the Department of State’s online Visa
Bulletin at usvisas.state.gov/visabulletin. You will need the following information to know when your case is
again eligible for processing:
 Country of Chargeability..........INDIA
 Visa Category...........................F3 - MARRIED SONS & DAUGHTERS OF U.S. CITIZENS
 Priority Date.............................20SEP2011

 

Please help to suggest...

Your category is F3 now. Currently NVC are processing PD 08 October 2005. So you still have a long wait ahead (6-7 years) till your Priority Date will become current.

Good morning everyone I have problem my someone can help me with i'm in f1, I was in f2b before my mom file for me and my sis, she got her welcome letter the 19 of Nov and I didn't when I call to finally out what they ask if I'm married and I said no but on there system I am so the question is what can I do to change that??? 

Hi,

Usually NVC sends an email telling, that your category has changed. Have you ever received it? If you are not married and think, that NVC made a mistake call them, or write an email and explain.
