US Immigration from South Africa

Hello everyone,

my fianc had a quick question that I could not answer on my own. How long does it take to get a driver license in Texas? Can he get it automatically or does he have to wait til he has AOS approved?
thank you

Hello Everyone

I was wondering if any of you had some difficulty proving to the immigration that you had alot of difficulty marrying within the 90 days, and what happened? thank you for your feedback. I have meeting a lot difficulty with them

Hello everyone,

Is it important in the NVC stage to have the passport number of the foreigner? As my fianc was looking at form DS-160 and saw that. However, what if my fianc cannot get a passport due to the pandemic the offices being closed. Is it possible to leave it blank but add a letter from the officials stating that? Thanks

We pose this question fully knowing that immigration seems to be changing on a daily basis - so we are looking at the information as an ASSUMPTION of if the rules were to be the same next year as they are this year.

My husband can apply for Citizenship by marriage June of 2021, once approved we would like to apply for Green Cards for his parents from South Africa. He also has a teenage siblingwho will be over 18 but likely still under 21 by the time we can apply for them.

Where does his younger sibling fall in the application process? Would they be a derivative of his Parent's application because they would be under 21 at the time of filing? Because they would be direct relatives of a U.S. Citizen we are assuming their Priority Date would be before their 21st birthday since they are not subject to the visa bulletin. Would they also get a Green Card at the same time the parents get a green card? With the long timelines for Green Cards it is likely that the petition will be submitted before they turn 21, but the GC's not issued until after their 21st birthday.

We are just trying to figure out how to handle the younger sister, as that may change the timeline for his parents (as they will not leave her alone in South Africa).

I'm on an L1 visa and my wife is on an L2. Our original i94s were to expire 12 of July 2020 as that was our initial 3 years. In January I went to the UK to renew my visa and I returned, my i94 now expires end of November 2021. We filed the i539 internally for my wife 4 months ago. Today we received the I-797C stating approval. However the dates are strange. The valid FROM data is in the future, 17th of December 2020. End date is the same as my expiry in November 2021.

So what exactly happens from Mid July to 17th of December? We are currently in the US.

We are both currently applying for AOS as well. We both have combined EAD/AP cards. The end date on those cards to 16th December 2020. So is this why the 539 is only valid from the 17th? Do we need to do anything to 'activate' this EAD/AP from Mid July? I don't fully understand the implications here
