US Immigration from United Arab Emirates

Hi everyone,

Our petition was submitted May 31st 2021, and we were approved in September. We submitted our docs to NVC in September 2021, but accidentally forgot to upload the 2020 W2/1099, for which, we received the much-dreaded FE review notice. Anyways, we submitted those in Dec 2021 (a week after we received the FE notice).

How long does it normally take for them to review this? Do we get back into line (we originally waited 3mo at NVC)? is there a way to request an expedite?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I applied for an immigrant visa for my husband and recently received the following message I am not quite understanding it why would I not be able to sponsor him? This was sent after filing the DS 260 and it s classified as an IR1.
thank you for your help!

This is the message I received:

The petition you have filed does not allow derivative status for family members. This means that any spouse, unmarried child under 21, or parent will require his or her own petition to immigrate

Hello,

After many months of waiting we were very excited to have our interview scheduled, but unfortunately on the interview day we had a bad snow storm and couldn't leave home. The USCIS office is a couple hours away and they weren't affected by the snow so stayed open, so we were forced to reschedule. How much harm is this likely to cause? From reading around here the forums it seems that under no circumstances should one reschedule, but we truly had no choice as we couldn't have made it there even if we tried driving through the snow. Case status has now reverted back to "ready to be scheduled for interview". Thanks!

Hi VJ team,

Yesterday we received a message that our appointment in Abu Dhabi was canceled. We were only 2 weeks away.

No explanation within the email. Appointments are so hard to come by.

Anybody else within the UAE getting the same? Could the current events with Yemen be causing this?

Hello

I would like to know whether it is mandatory for petitioner to be physically in the US to request and expedite for NVC to schedule spouses interview? Petitioner is green card holder.
thank you
