US Immigration from Lebanon

Hello everyone,

Asking for someone who is a permanent resident. They filed I-130 for their unmarried son under 21 year old back in August 2023. Their I-130 was approved today. Priority date on the NOA shows the date they filed in August. Their son was 18 back then, now 19.

What happens next? What category does the son fall into? Is it F2A? They are from Lebanon. What is a realistic time frame and is there a way to make things go faster since both parents are here and the child is there alone.

Is there a risk of their son aging out of 21 or does CSPA applies here?

Thank you

Hello

My mother from Lebanon is supposed to join my sister in the US and at the time of the interview when everything was accepted the consular came with a paper requesting DS-5535. I looked it up and I understand what it is, I was wondering why my mother of 67 years old with a not so extensive travel history and with basic social media accounts where she doesnt post anything but just follows her daughters and relatives, was subjected to such a form.
Additionally, does anybody know the timeline expected in this case to process the DS-5535 and get back to us with a decision? What were your experiences with it?
We have emailed BeirutIV@state.gov requesting the form (as instructed in the paper) and we are waiting for them to send it to us (hopefully they would be prompt in sending it) so that we can fill it.

Hello, we got a letter today saying that my mother-in-law has a biometrics appointment for her greencard next week. We already have gotten her social security card. I didn't see anyone else online who had to do this, they said the greencard was just mailed to them. Has anyone else had to do this?

Hello everyone,

I have couple of questions about the situation below and I am hoping to find some answers:

Parents who are in the US now as PR since July 2023, wanting to bring their son who just turned 19. The mother has filed I130 petition for him in August 2023.

• Can the father file another I-130 for the same son (in case something happened to his mom) while the 1st I-130 is still pending? Any negative/positive consequences?
• Should the son get the visa before he turns 21 to be in the same category, or he is considered in the "under 21" category at the date of when the I-130 is filed/approved?
• The son now is in a country where a war is very possible (Lebanon) and the US department of state issued a "Do Not Travel" notice. He already suffers from anxiety disorder and what is going on making things worse. Are these enough reasons to request an expedite since the son is there by himself?
• Is there a way to get a reasonable estimate of how long will this process take?

Thank you and good luck for everyone

Hello everyone,

I am curious to know if anyone from any country has received IL this October 2023 yet?
