  3. I agree with @Mike E -- there's no downside to filing I-865. Although I-865 is not required pending AOS, it would not hurt your (beneficiary's) case to submit one anyway. Also, note that the I-865 is signed by the sponsor, and there's no statement anywhere on the form by the sponsored immigrant(s) misrepresenting their status.

  5. Unless you are active-duty US military stationed abroad, your wife must interview and take the oath inside the US.
  6. As @Crazy Cat said, you will have to wait for your visa to know for sure. My medical was valid for less than 6 months, but SLEC did notify me about that. My visa expiry date was exactly the date that SLEC told me.
  7. It's 6 months (maximum) from the visa medical date, not the visa issuance date. This rule applies to all immigrant (and K1) visas, regardless of visa category and issuing consulate. The staff at SLEC should have advised you about the expiry date of your medical, maybe in one of the papers you signed or received. I got a green paper from SLEC listing the medical expiry date. My visa was valid for only 1.5 months when it was issued, as my interview was re-scheduled to around 4 months after my medical.
  8. Unlikely that you'll be able to expedite the I-130/I-485 processing. As for the I-765, get an actual job offer in writing and use that to request an expedite. While there's no guarantee that it will be approved, many VJ members reported success in getting their EAD expedited that way.
  9. *** Moved from NVC forum to US Embassy & Consulate Discussion, as OP's mom's case is already DQ, and interview scheduling depends on the consulate ***
  10. Sounds like progress. It's a good sign that the consulate is moving towards issuing your younger daughter's visa.

  14. No problem marrying on ESTA, leaving on time, then pursuing CR1/IR1 spouse visa later on. Even if your spouse-to-be files the I-130 petition for you 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month after your return to the UK, your US marriage will not be an issue for your future visa application. The key point is to stick to the terms of your ESTA, by not working while in the US and by making sure to leave before 90 days on every ESTA visit.
  15. *** Moved from AOS from Work/Student/Tourist Visas forum to AOS Progress Reports, to be among other AOS timeline-related threads ***

  22. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experience and lessons learned!
  23. In the Philippines, the only way to legitimate a child born out of wedlock is for the biological parents to get married. To petition his father, OP's child will have to rely on evidence of acknowledgement of paternity (seems he has this, based on his PSA birth certificate) and documentation of financial support or continuing parental interest (iffy, given the lack of communication for 16 years).
