The only exceptions are for expedited cases.

I see no reason to wait.

Withdrawals are irrevocable. You must submit a new petition....and expect possible questions at the interview. Shouldn't be a big problem. Good luck.

Both would be F4 category. 20 years or so, likely from filing to visa in hand. Age of sibling makes no difference. File I-130s now, then wait to see what happens years from now. F4 cases which were submitted on 1 Aug 2007 are just now becoming current with visa numbers available.

That's how I see it.

It's normal. If someone opens the file, it triggers a last update entry.....but it does not mean they have sent you an email. All visas go through some form of administrative processing after the interview. Visas will not be issued until all admin processing is complete.

Doesn't matter. Just explain that Father is full Joint sponsor with qualifying income at interview.

I see nothing to appeal. I assume you received an RFE for these items?

The B2 cancellation, in itself, will not affect the spousal visa case. From what you posted it doesn't sound as if you have a ban.

Sometimes, Consulate Officers will ask for it to be uploaded anyway. Uploading it now will prevent that delay. You are already DQ and in line for an interview date.

It is rare...but it happens sometimes....probably had an issue with finger prints when you interviewed. Attend the appointment.

...for anyone who crosses our border?

I think it would be better. Rather than combining his income with your income, he can be a full joint sponsor even if under the same household. It sounds like he is a well-qualified Joint Sponsor. Of course, as the primary sponsor, you also must provide an I-864 (as you have already done).

So, now Biden and Harris are using Medicare to transmit campaign messages? Is this not a violation of campaign law? This is an email I received a few minutes ago: " With Open Enrollment for Medicare around the corner, I want to make sure you're aware of historic changes to Medicare that are lowering health care costs and ensuring that every American has the peace of mind that comes with quality, affordable health care. Because Medicare benefits are getting stronger, it is more important than ever to look at your drug coverage for 2025 during Medicare Open Enrollment and make sure you are enrolled in the Medicare Part D plan that is best for you. You can learn more about these benefits and review your options at Medicare.gov starting in early October. Medicare Open Enrollment runs from October 15th through December 7th. These historic reforms are a result of the Inflation Reduction Act that I signed into law and that Vice President Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to secure. This new law gives Medicare the power to negotiate lower prescription drug prices, like the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs does on behalf of our nation's veterans and servicemembers. Medicare has been able to cap the cost of insulin for seniors with diabetes at $35 a month for each covered insulin instead of as much as $400 a month. Recommended vaccines, like those to treat shingles, are free for people with Medicare prescription drug coverage. Starting in January 2025, your total out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs will be capped at $2,000 a year, no matter how expensive your prescription drugs are. That means you will not pay more than $2,000 per year on prescription drugs covered under Medicare prescription drug coverage, or Part D — that includes expensive prescription drugs to treat cancer, chronic illnesses, and more. And if you have had high drug costs in 2024 and have reached what's called the catastrophic coverage phase, you won't have to pay any more out of pocket. These reforms not only save seniors money, they also save money for American taxpayers. In fact, taxpayers are expected to save $160 billion over the next decade because Medicare is now able to negotiate drug prices alongside other reforms — and we're just getting started. In addition to these cost-saving benefits that are in effect in 2025, Medicare recently announced that it has reached agreement with pharmaceutical companies for new, lower prices for ten of the most expensive and most frequently used prescription drugs in Medicare. These new, lower prices will go into effect in 2026, and Medicare will continue to negotiate prices for additional drugs each year for the foreseeable future. These are just some of the ways my Administration has worked to help you save money on your health care costs and to provide a little more breathing room for you and your families. Vice President Harris and I believe that health care should be a right, not a privilege. I encourage you to take advantage of these new, lower-cost benefits as part of stronger, better Medicare coverage that you deserve."

Sounds like your income, alone, is insufficient. I would ask Father to submit an I-864 as the Joint Sponsor, not as a family member. Upload and take father's I-864 and evidence of father's CURRENT annual income to the interview. W-2s are not evidence of current income. They are evidence of past income. Good luck. (Note: Also be prepared to present an I-864a from Father's spouse).
