US Immigration from Ecuador

It seems like the most common post here right now is people asking when their Embassy/Consulate interview will be scheduled.

Given the enormous interview backlog (right now there are roughly 8 times as many people waiting for immigrant visa interviews as there were on average in 2019), it's not surprising that the question is coming up so often.

To help address this, I suggest creating some sort of sticky post in applicable sub-forums to address some of the frequently asked questions around the scheduling of interviews. That way, as these new threads/posts come up there would be an easy place to direct everyone. That would hopefully cut down on the number of new threads and hijack posts asking the same question, and save everyone's time and energy when trying to answer them.

The sticky post could include:

• A general reminder of how the process works, and that no one can predict how long it will take to get an interview appointment, etc.
• Link/instructions on how to look at relevant visa timelines in the Portal section
• Link to the Case Complete to Interview thread/spreadsheet (for the CR-1/IR-1 forum and anywhere else that something like this exists)
• Link to the new NVC Immigrant Visa Backlog Report
• Link to the relevant Visa Statistics page and some brief notes on how to navigate it

If something like this already exists, please point me to it! Otherwise, if others are on board with this, maybe we can use this thread to brainstorm what other content could go into these posts and draft them together. Thanks.

unfortunately due to slight misunderstanding the petitioner withdrawal affidavit of support without informing his wife and later the denial Notice comes up !Remember they not divorced yet and really a beautiful family have built a lot together.Was done out of anger reactions even after canceling it still the so consulted un- professional lawyer sends it out to the USCiS for her greed of money.

At that period the K1& K2s was scheduled for GC interview but all now is Denied.

Do we have anyone in similar situations or what s the guarantee way to manage this heartbreaking situation???
TIA

Hello everyone,

My fiance came to the US twice when he was a minor with a tourist visa. He used to stay here for vacation and then go back home. At the time of the filling for I-129F he didn't have an adult passport and because of the pandemic was going on we weren't able to get him a new adult passport. So we filed and sent the form using his old passport number (as we didn t want to hold on the form any longer) but now after many months he was finally able to get a new one.

Is there a way we can update the form? Should we wait for an RFE instead?

Is it possible to get approved and just present his new passport at the Embassy/interview?

We sent the form back on November 2020. They asked in the form if he had a passport so that's the reason we wrote down that one, I didn't really lie and wanted to be truthful that he has been here before.

Any input is appreciated a lot.

Hello everyone,

I have a rather sensitive question. My fiance (Ecuador) filed for the k1 visa back in October. He has two children (10 &12) and has not had a relationship with their mother for many years now. He was paying his child support regularly until coronavirus hit and he lost his job. She has since been quite aggressive in regards to him paying money. He owes about $1500 in backed child support and this morning she had him arrested. He is currently sitting in jail in Ecuador and if he does not pay at least $1,000 he could potentially have to be there for 60-90 days. I need to know if it is time that we got lawyer? I have known my fiance and his family for about 10 years and I do not foresee any problems with our visa paperwork besides this child support situation. I have no children and I do not know my way around Ecuadorian law or child support as it relates to the K1 visa.

Any and all advice is welcomed. If we do not have to find 5k+ for a lawyer, it would be nice but I worry about something going wrong with our case because of this very messy situation.

Thanks,

Ashley
