I've just found out my Mother will be receiving her Visa Interview this December 2025. (She is residing in the US)

I am her petitioner with a join sponsor.

(If there are similar threads with my situation please guide me to them)

I'm currently living abroad and recently got married, waiting for my Temporary Residency Card.

I have:

3 Bank accounts

401K account

Driving license (current) under my parents address.

What really sucks is that her lawyer didn't mention anything about me providing domicile, I just found out and reading about it.

I saw threads that the above is not still enough. They are looking for a Foreseeable future of me to live in the US with the applicant.

I can't leave my current location because it will affect my application process, so if the above is not enough:

1. Should she push her interview back I don't know... Until I get my card (time it correctly) I move back, find a job and hope everything works out?

2. Or what else can be sufficient for the NVC to approve

Hello,

Looking to compare timelines and experiences with anyone else in the F2A category from a recently banned country (especially Afghanistan or Iran).

Married to or minor child of an LPR/Green Card Holder and not exempt from the travel ban.

Do you already have a visa interview with a consulate abroad?

Are you delaying or cancelling this interview?

It seems that without some exemption, I.e. marriage to a USC or some national security exception (very rare), that the visa would be denied.

If the interview is requested to be delayed by the petitioner, would they go to the end of the line?

Has anyone kept an interview appointment that was scheduled before the June 2025 travel ban change and occurred after it? How was your experience?

Thanks,

V. Taylor

My fiance and I received the notice our visa is in ready status at the manila embassy. So she filled out the ds-160 and got that taken care of but now we are confused on where we go to set up her appointments at the (vac) center, medical,interview. we made a account on ustraveldocs.com/ph/en/ and are now at this page and the only options are visa application,feedback/requests,messages. She tried to do the visa application but then when we get to the visa options (K) is not an option. I am lost on what to do. we have waited over a year to get this far. and now even more frustration please can somebody help us out. it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again all have another little question

regarding we have received notice in the mail now and it's saying it has gone to:

Scops Texas Facility

Anyone received the same address fir that and know anything of the time frames regarding that one?

Hi there,

I recently received my passport with visa stamp on. When I received my passport via mail from the us embassy office, I also received a white slip says that I need to pay immigrant fee to USCIS BEFORE I enter the US.

I was trying to pay immigrant fee online and after entering my A number and case number, they asked this question what is your current address? . I m still living in my country until December, so should I enter my address in my home country? Or this fee is basically for green card process so should I enter my husband s US address?

Please someone advise me, thank you!!
