I paid my parents green card on first week of September, is over 2months now but we have not received it yet.

I called and I was being told that I have to wait after 90days so they can answer my questions.

Does anyone have idea on how to expedite the process.

What would be normal timeline for Green card process.

Hello,

I am an American and my husband is a Canadian citizen. The NVC has told us that they have received all of our documents as of 11/20/24. Can anyone tell us how long it takes to get an interview date for Montreal? Do we get to pick our own date or we are just given one? We are working with a lawyer who has been submitting paperwork on our behalf. The lawyer does not currently have any other clients in Canada so is not able to get us any kind of timeline. We appreciate any information!

Hello everyone,

I m reaching out to hear from others who might have experienced something similar in their K-1 visa journey. My fianc and I have been waiting for several months, and we re not sure what else to do but wait.

Our case is being processed in Lima, Peru. In July, we received an email from our immigration attorney with instructions to create an account to schedule the interview appointment. Since then, we ve completed the DS-160 and followed the instructions to register on the scheduling platform. However, every time we check, the system says that our case is not ready to schedule an appointment.

I called the embassy recently, and they confirmed that there are no available appointment dates yet. The only advice they gave was to keep waiting, which seems to be the only solution at this point.

I would love to hear from anyone who has gone through this process in Lima or any other location. How long did it take for you to get an appointment? Were there any additional steps you took that helped? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated as we navigate this uncertain waiting period.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences!

Hi all, I ve been in the U.S. for just over a month now. I applied for my SSN before getting married, and our marriage certificate (with extra copies) arrived last week. We re planning to go back to the Social Security office tomorrow with the certificate, my passport, and my I-94 to update my name to my spouse s name. Do I need anything else to complete this process? I ve heard it must be done within the 90 days. Thanks in advance

I am planning to visit my home country (India) for first-time H1B visa stamping. While filling out the DS-160 form and Visa portal questions, I was confused about a few questions on previous passport and visa:

1. Has your visa ever been stolen?
2. Has your visa ever been cancelled or revoked?
3. Have you ever lost a passport or had one stolen?
4. Was your most recent U.S. visa lost, stolen, canceled, revoked, or marked CWOP?

My situation is a bit weird. 2 years ago I thought I had lost my passport while traveling locally in the US. That passport had my F1 visa. To apply for a new one I had to file a police report. I received the new one, and it mentions that the previous one is reported as lost . I used this new passport for successfully applying to H1B - change of status from F1. Note that this new passport doesn t have any visa stamps yet. After a while, I then also found the old passport somewhere in my home i.e. it was never really lost or stolen. I am unsure how to accurately answer the above 4 questions since I still have my previous passport and previous visa.
