  1. Yes. The application can be held jn Administrative processing, pending meeting whatever requirement the officer lists on the 221g given to the beneficiary at the interview It will list specifically what must be done /provided before a decision is made
  2. The interviewer may hold the decision until you are able to show insurance. Or not. Can you come back when the interview is done and let us know ? It will add to the collective wisdom and help others in the future
  3. Yep totally understand. I’m paying $3000 USD for the same trip that i used to get for $1800 USD.
  4. I could see this scenario as a red flag. But I’m not the interviewer. When is the interview ?
  5. Sorry to hear your experience. I used the stamped visa , without any problem, once when departing Melbourne but that was with Qantas. With Jetstar having a much lower profile flying into the US, they would see very few of these. No excuse for poor service but understandable. And yes , the airline gets a very hefty fine .. and the employee would be “ written up” if they boarded someone who was found ineligible to enter the US Again no excuse but certainly explains the extreme caution. Thankfully someone finally had the idea of actually calling CBP using the number in their handbook !!
  6. Completed submitted joint sponsor documentation should be fine. You still need to put N in N the I864 as primary sponsor even if you do not meet the income requirements. Do you have health insurance that will also cover your wife once she is here. Not having insurance may well raise the question of her becoming a public liability which may be an issue
  7. I would suggest your friend come onto the forum herself. There are many challenges with trying to get the specific info needed to answer as accurately as possible when it’s a 3rd party posting
  8. When i applied for mine a couple of years ago, the estimate for me was 8 months (80%) and I had it approved in 5 you would have to do a highly specific time line search on vj site. Most I 131 applied for by members will be for AP
  9. Try using this USCIS site It differentiates between re entry permit and Advanced Parole https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
  10. Only thing i would add is that if the original SS card has the restriction wording on it , then it’s best to get a new one without this restriction on the card. Avoid confusion
  11. When your application reaches the top of whatever pile it is in. https://www.uscis.gov/tools/checking-your-case-status-online this can give you an idea of the average processing time
  12. You can add it into the additional info section but I’m not sure it’s needed
  13. As Crazy cat suggested .. ask NVC to link the cases. No guarantees. If that isn’t successful when you get the interview date, contact the consulate and ask for them to schedule the interviews together
  14. Current income is what is needed in order to meet the income requirement. Have good documentation such as payslips and employment letter. Transitioning from low income during studying to income with a job is common
  15. The answer according to the information you have given is “no” You had a J visa but were not subject to the 2 year home requirement
  16. Having paid the fee already, the CBP officer will ask you to confirm your mailing address for the green card. No forms needed for this. It’s a pity the Consulate info is out of date .. it makes it more confusing and stressful than it needs to be.
  17. Agree that revalidation MAY be possible. It is a totally different approach than the emergency travel document you asked about Will you would have an answer in time is a bigger question She would have to leave before getting married
  18. Not possible. This applies to someone who already has a GC. Marry then go cr1 route if she needs to leave
  19. The issuing consulate will need to reseal the yellow envelope before they travel
