US Immigration from Vietnam

So I apply I130 for my brother and sister. USCIS approve it and stated it will send to the NVC. Few days later I got a notice from NVC with Case number and Invoice number to go online and pay and start on the D260. My question is I though since it this is for brother and sister it will be a long wait like 10 yrs. How come the NVC already sending me the case number and invoice number for payment. Do I just pay and complete the D260 and wait for 10 yrs? Or is this the next step and once done they will have the interview?

I would like to request an expedited appointment for K1 so that our K2 can get enrolled in school here in the US next month. I think it would be better than her going to school part of the year in VN and then finishing the rest of the year here assuming she comes during this school year. We are not sure if the consulate would consider that an urgent need for travel. Can I please have your thoughts and opinions? I appreciate it

We'll send my wife's ROC package on August 1. Does the VJ timeline provide estimates once you enter the NOA1 date like it did for K1 snd AOS? I looked at some members' timelines and the estimate is missing for ROC. Is it now private or just not available anymore? Thanks - Jason

Hi Everyone,

My wife just got her interview notice for consular processing (yay!). I understand there is a new form DS 5540 now that we have to fill out and provide supporting documentation. I am currently abroad with my wife and do not have insurance through my work etc. We do not know exactly when we will go to the US and it seems frustrating if we have to set up health insurance now when we don't realistically know when we will go to the US and it will likely be in around 5 months or so.

Is it required for us to have purchased a policy by the time of the interview? Is it enough for us to print off some options that we are considering? My wife is in good health (minus slightly elevated blood pressure) and my I-864 affidavit of support is pretty solid. Will we have a problem if we show up to the interview without insurance purchased for her already?

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone,

I have USCIS Alien number on my OPT and STEM-OPT EAD, but today when I receive Form I-797C notice of receipt for my AOS to green card, there is a new/different A-number on my case. Has anyone seen this happen? Is this normal to have one A number for F-1 OPT and another for AOS to green card?

Thank you in advance for your input!
