Hello everyone! My husband who is a permanent visa holder applied for his twins but when it was F22. I also applied for them and it is IR1. He paid and submitted all the documents and just waiting for the interview schedule. I haven’t paid for it. Were on dilemma if do we will just pay the IR1 since I’m a US citizen or just wait for his F22 interview schedule. Any advice on this? Will the kids be green card holder when they get to US or do we need to apply for them to get a green card? Your response is appreciated.

November 2024

F2A cases with a priority date of 1 Jan 2022 are just now becoming current.  You could be looking at a few more years for the F2A interviews.

@Boiler, @appleblossom, @OldUser, what do you think?

Even though all the documents have been submitted and just waiting for the interview to get it scheduled by NVC?

Yes.  They will not get interviews until the priority dates are current.

What about IR1? I’m a citizen. I filed for their I30 November 2024. It was approved December 2024. It’s on at NVC. What is the priority dates for that? 

Priority dates for immediate relatives of US citizens are immediately current. These would be IR-2.

Sorry I was wrong. IR2. Filed November 11, 2023.

There is never a waiting period for IR-2 cases to become current.

@Boiler, @appleblossom, @OldUser, what do you think?

 

I’d agree, and say go with the IR2 option as it’ll be much quicker, if the F2A was only filed in November 2024. 

 

But @AileenRico42, are you sure the Priority Date for the F2A is November 2024? That doesn’t line up with the dates given in your previous thread. So it will very much depend on exactly when both were filed.

 

Please do let us know exact PD’s for each case, as it makes a big difference.

So we filed on August 2021 using my husband , a green card holder, as the petitioner. It was approved in September 2024.  Because the petition was taking so long so we decided to file for I30 using me as the petitioner. On September 2024 his got approved and on November 2024 mine got approved. But since he got approved first,  so we paid his first and submitted all the required. It took us a while to finally submit all the documents because every time we upload and submit the documents it says “ invalid image detected. “ up to now, the documents still says submitted ( some of them ) and some accepted. 
 

Do we need to go ahead and pay the IR2 ( I30 petition ] and submit the documents they were asking or just wait for the F22 to get it transferred to the embassy for interview schedule?
