We painstakingly gathered and completed all the necessary documentation for our F3 visa application. Embarking on our journey to the US, we held high hopes for a smooth immigration process. This brought us to the US Embassy for the eagerly awaited visa interview. Regrettably, the outcome did not align with our expectations; our visa application encountered a temporary setback under section 221(g) of the INA. The accompanying refusal letter explained that our petition would be returned to the USCIS for further processing. This hurdle arose from a heart-wrenching circumstance - our family's petitioner and my mother passed away during the COVID-19 pandemic. While our application had been accepted at that time, it was subsequently put on hold due to pandemic-related disruptions. It is only recently that we have been able to recommence the process, driven by a steadfast determination to see it through.

Prior to my mother's passing, we had a joint sponsor in place: my sister, a US citizen currently residing in the country. In the wake of the refusal, my sister has been instrumental in helping us appeal the situation, offering invaluable support and guidance. She has dispatched the necessary documents to the USCIS in Chicago via postal services, marking the initial step towards a potential resolution. Our current strategy involves positioning my sister as the new petitioner through a humanitarian reinstatement, a move we believe holds promise.

Given our circumstances, we are eager to explore any available options. Is there any further action we can take, or should we await updates? If you have any additional questions or insights, please feel free to share. Your input is greatly appreciated. We extend our gratitude for your support and understanding during this challenging time.

Hi, everyone. I hope you can help us.

I met my ex fiance in 2017 and filed for K1 Visa. I got approved but things didn't go well, so we went separate ways and I didn't use my visa at all and it just expired.

I met my current fiance, and we will get married this year December. And we're planning to file for CR1 Visa after.

would there be an issue with the filing because of my previous K1 visa? Should that have been cancelled by my ex fiance? I lost contact with him already.

Also, my fiance is a permanent resident and got arrested for possession of drugs when he was young. Would that be a hindrance?

Thank you so much.

Hi Anybody here knows how to change status to F3?

My mother petitioned me last 2001, got approved, she passed, files for Humanitarian Reinstatement, got reaffirmed. I have a wife and a daughter living with me.

My other daughter in the US filed a petition for me and my wife. Just got approved.

i was wondering if i could go through my daughter s petition for me ir-5 category, because it will be faster, then when the F3 category is ready to be processed, i could change to f3 so i can bring my daughter with me as my derivative beneficiary.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Hello!

My fianc e and I are confused about when or how we get the medical interview before the actual consulate interview.

We're reading it's before, but we are told we can schedule with the embassy right now.

Can someone give us a timeline for when we get our date? Or do we schedule it on our own?
