US Immigration from Venezuela

Hello everyone!

I'm planning on filing a relative petiton for my mom in Venezuela, so far the steps for doing that are clear, however I'm trying to have my little brother (age 12) come with her.

According to what I've read he would have to be under a separete petition which has a lower priority for USCIS processing and could take north of ten years.

My question is, how long would my mom have to wait to file a petition for my brother after getting her LPR status?

f GOT APPROVED. wE WEHello, my name is Laura.

Almost 2 years ago, after my fianc e proposed on August 2019 we applied for the K1 Visa and our I-129F got approved. While we were waiting for our interview date so we can finally get the visa (Him in the US and me in Venezuela) the Covid19 hit and the borders of my country (Vene zuela) closed (March 2019). After 1 year and 3 months of being on a long distance relationship (8 months of those during quarantine), when the borders finally opened we decided to meet for Christmas 2020 (We were still waiting for an interview in Bogota Colombia) (I came on a Tourist visa and we were actually doing tourism on a 2 week road trip were we visited 7 states from NC to WI). By the end of January 2021 and close to my return ticket we finally received news about the embassy stating that they will continue with the interviews. Although after a lot of thinking, we agreed that it was risky to travel during those times (What if they just close the borders again and I don't have the enough resources to stay in Colombia, no family, anything, My house is in Venezuela where I lived but there is no embassy there) and that all we wanted was to be husband and wife as we always dreamed of. So, we got married on April 2020.

Now, we are filing for AOS and I encountered this question:

Part 3. Item 1. "Have you ever applied for an immigrant visa to obtain permanent resident status at a U.S. Embassy?" Yes or No.

The reality is that a K1 is a non immigrant visa, but with intends to immigration. So, I am confused about what to answer. We are planning on sharing our story. We applied for a K1 after getting married as it is supposed to do. But this pandemic hit us hard. So now we just wanted to move on and finally start our lives together. I am worried that it will affect our case.

How long does it "normally" take to get the I-797 from USICS when submitting an AOS package? I know they signed for it two weeks ago.

Hello to all,

I Have my mother here on vacation and want to apply for her GC, can someone please tell me what is the procedure? I read I don't ned to file !-130 but I'm sure if that's right and what else need to be file.

Thank you.

My fiance is Venezuelan currently residing in Colombia. He wishes to move to Mexico. Currently we are in NOA1 status. Is there a way if he chooses to move to Mexico if we can change the interview location to Mexico?

Thanks!
