NVC Skipped Over My June 18, 2022 DQ

[Shamondy 7]

Hello,

 

It was a very exciting moment to see that June 2022 DQ's were receiving IL's. I saw June 16, 27, 9th, and 30 all get interview letters. The June 9th was received on June 29th, and I felt there was still hope of my own. June 30th came and disappeared, and NOTHING FOR ME! I saw in a FB group (two days ago) that someone from June 27 did not get their own and was still waiting. I felt maybe there was still hope. But, my faith is waxing and my mood is dropping. So here is the back story....

 

I applied for my husband's I-130 May 11, 2021, he DQ'ed June 18, 2022. The plan was to leave the children in Nigeria for school (Boarding School and University). The one child who was to go to university could not get in. We submitted and expedited his I-130, he was added to the AOS with his father, and DQ'd December 23, 2022. The Naira Scarcity hit and things have plummeted increasingly, causing us to not have reliable care for the 3 younger kids (even in boarding school), so we filed and expedited their I-130 and are currently at NVC with all DS-260 fees paid and documents submitted, but two of these three children were not added to their fathers AOS. Making two children not having documents fully submitted. Here's my question.....

 

Is it the later submission of the children's cases or the unpaid AOS fees that caused my husband's case to be stalled? I know you are not "Experts", but truly someone must have some insight. Please help.

each child (I 130 petition) needs its own AOS fees paid /not part of father's AOS fees

father's may be stalled (or u can ask for  his to coinside with the kids by sending case #'s and all names and DOB's to NVC)

OR dad can fly to US get his I 551 stamp and return to fly here with the kids later

 

BTW Nigeria has a long long waiting line and the cases could catch up

Did you notify NVC that these cases were to be married up? If you didn't they would have separate AOS fee since they were filed at different times. You need to notify them and hopefully because they are under 21 they will keep case together regardless of the spread out DQ dates.
And they didn't skip you. They have a big queue and alot is going on. You will probably be in the next queue for September interview dates.

Thank you for the response. I know the matter of AOS fees to be different. For this reason, I didn’t ask about the fees. However, they do have their own AOS. I probably should have said “connect their cases” instead of “connect to their fathers AOS”. I apologize for that. 
 

I assume the case is stalled, but if his case isn’t linked to the kids’ case, it doesn’t seem as though their cases should be a cause. Just my thoughts.

I’ve experienced some trouble marrying the cases and had to request it a third time. Your explanation is my understanding. I just assumed that I was skipped since my husbands DQ was June 18, 2022 and the IL’s up to June 30, 2022 DQ were issued. Thank you.
