US Immigration from Kenya

What's Nairobi consulate wait time from DQ to Interview for those who have been lucky to get interview letter.

Background Info:

• Step-child of U.S. citizen
• Original GC issued in 2008 (Current GC indicates residency since 08
• Absent from U.S. for more than 6 months quite often prior to 2020
• Current GC renewed in 2021, and expires in 2031
• Now in the U.S. and attending University as a LPR
• Original GC issued when holder was under 18, but is now over 21

Question: Does an IR2 GC holder need 5 years of continuous residency, or can this GC holder apply for naturalization (N400) now? Or should she file for a Certificate of Citizenship (N600)?

Will appreciate any info from those who might have had a similar case.

Good luck everyone.

Hi VJ

I'm currently waiting for an interview for my F2B and I'm trying to prepare as much as possible.

I have a 3 year old son who will not be immigrating with me at this time. I am thinking it would be wise to go with some sort of consent letter/affidavit from my son's mother stating that she is aware I will be immigrating and our son may follow to join. Would this be recommended or unnecessary?

On the same breathe, i am anticipating the CO may ask where I will be leaving the child since i indicated on the DS260 form that i am currently staying with him. We decided all of us should move in together when she was expectant so obviously I will be leaving him with his mother. Just thinking/overthinking :), should I be concerned that the CO may interpret staying together with the mother of my son as a marriage?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi,

Newbie here who needs some advice. My petitioner was LPR then became a citizen. After submitting docs to NVC sent a message opting out of automatic visa class change due to the new circumstance. My case has been in review this week, so NVC sent a message to say that they will retain my application under F24 since it wouldn t be beneficial for me to change. A day later and now my application has moved from being processed and is showing the message due to numerical limitations case cannot be processed and the visa class has changed to F11. Feeling very frustrated as I was waiting for DQ and contacting NVC takes months even though I ve made a public inquiry already. I cannot even see any documents we submitted just my name, paid and completed. Is this a glitch, does anyone have the same experience, what next for me?
