Sorry to disagree, but it doesn't always go well - visas can still be refused even after a verbal approval. Tbh, a verbal approval means very little, it still has to go to final checks at that point.

You can delay it indefinitely, as you’re now at the interview stage it’s likely to just be scheduled, but you can cancel it. You could also try contacting NVC. But as somebody that moved from the UK with two teens, one of whom had just done his GCSE’s, then I’d say unless you’re putting them in to a British school then don’t delay. GCSE’s are really no use to them either side of the Atlantic, and it would be better to get them in the US school system asap to give them more time to adjust. Mine went to a British school so it was a little different, but if he hadn’t been then waiting for him to complete GCSE’s would have been pretty pointless. I know you didn’t ask for advice but honestly I can’t see any reason to wait a year and think it would be more detrimental than helpful. Particularly if they think they might like to go to college in the US. Best of luck.

When did you become a USC? And when were your wife and daughter’s I-130’s approved? -
It’s about 14 months wait, so she will hopefully hear around October time. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html

Follow it through. On the second page of questions it asks you if any of the below apply to see if you are eligible. DHS TRIP can assist in resolving travel-related issues, such as: You were unable to print a boarding pass from an airline ticketing kiosk or from the Internet; You were delayed or denied boarding an aircraft; The airline ticket agent informed you that the Federal Government was not authorizing you to travel; You are repeatedly referred for secondary screening when clearing U.S. Customs or were denied entry into the United States; You were told by CBP at a U.S. port of entry that your fingerprints need to be corrected; You wish to amend a traveler record because of an overstay as a result of not submitting the required I-94 when exiting the United States; or You believe you were incorrectly denied ESTA authorization. You believe your personal information was inappropriately exposed or shared by a government agent?
-
He can try this before doing a full one - https://www.dhs.gov/dhs-trip Again, worth a try.
-
He could do a FOIA request and see what that says, but he may find out at the visa appointment if he asks - worth a try anyway. If he doesn't want to risk it then he'll have to keep his original appointment and change his flight in the hope that the B visa is granted.
-
Odd. Hopefully he'll find out why, it may just be something as simple as him sharing a name and DOB with somebody dubious.

EB1A interview wait time in London, UK
appleblossom replied to EB1Aspirant's topic in United Kingdom
Exactly as I said on a previous post to you, transfer cases take a bit longer. Hopefully not too much longer now (assuming your PD is current of course). -

Montreal embassy EB-2 interview wait time-Part 2

Ah, if you'd mentioned that before it would have made more sense. Are you sure she's never had or applied for a B visa before she met you? And claimed to be married on the application for it?
-
When you log in to check the status, is there definitely nothing on the documents tab? I think I would do a FOIA request, and in fact I'm really surprised your lawyers haven't done that. I don't understand how they can put a waiver case together without knowing the exact reason for the denial and inadmissibility? There will be a bigger reason than just photos I'm sure. And I'd be surprised if your wife didn't know more about it after the interview.
-
OK, so that's not it then! As @OldUser said, were all the answers truthful?
-
How long did he stay under the VWP previously and how long ago was his last trip?
-
There’s no waiting list but he can keep checking for cancellations and see if an earlier appointment pops up. But if his ESTA was denied I’d try and find out why first, as he’ll face the same issues for a B visa too. And if he applies for the B and is refused he’ll forever have to declare that denial. Did he tick yes to any questions like travel to certain countries, any criminal record etc? Has he ever overstayed?

Could you go and live with her instead? Did you not get a formal denial notice/letter?
