Colombia interview for F2A

[amerdream 0]

Hello,

 

I am writing this in my mom's profile. I am 16 years old, my mom as permanent resident did a petition for me with I-130. USCIS already approve the case, and the case was forward it to the embassy, we already pay all the fees and submit the necessary paperwork we are just waiting for  NVC to schedule the interview. 

 

two questions:

 

• My priority date is 3/19/2018 does anyone know when will the schedule the interview?
• I came back to Colombia when I was 15 years old last year, but I did overstayed with tourist visa for a year. A lawyer told us that since I was underage they will waive the 10 year ban, but he is not sure if they will approve or denied the visa.
  • Has anyone been through this? I am afraid that I won't be able to live with my parents in the states if the visa gets denied
  •  Will they make my parents to pay for the year that I went through public school?
  • Since the case already pass the "NVC review case (step 6)" does that mean that they approved the visa already?
    • https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/collect-and-submit-forms-and-documents-to-the-nvc/step-6-submit-documents-to-the-nvc.html

 

 

Thanks for your attention on time.

Just to clarify---The previous thread started by your mother yesterday stated that she has two daughters---one already a USC, and one that is 11 years old?  

Are you another daughter?

There is no ban to waive. The ban only applies if you have accrued 180+ days of unlawful presence. Minors do not accrue unlawful presence.

Having a ban waived is different than not having one in the first place.

It's impossible to know if they will or won't issue a visa beforehand. But unless there is a reason to refuse an immigrant visa, it should be issued.

What could be a reason to refuse an immigrant visa?

Could be? There's dozens of reasons to be ineligible: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/AnnualReports/FY2018AnnualReport/FY18AnnualReport - TableXX.pdf

Then there's all the things that fall under 221(g), such as an invalid petition.

Most of the ineligibilities are uncommon. For a non-marriage family-based case, unless there are criminal or medical ineligabilities involved AND there is a suitable financial sponsor, it's usually pretty straightforward.
