They plan to return to the US upon the completion of the property purchase. Possibly end of November or early December as an estimate. If the US visa is issued to their son, they plan to return all together.

Hello all, I am a USC, my parents are LPR. One of them petitioned their son under 21. His interview at the embassy is coming up soon. The petitioner has been in their home country for about 5 months now. Since May 2025. Taking care of some family business. Planning to come back soon. Will the list below provide a good proof of US domicile for the petitioner at their son's interview at the embassy: Last 2 years tax returns (Petitioner) W2 and Pay stubs (Petitioner) Active US bank accounts (Petitioner) Valid state ID/driving license (Petitioner) Electricity and internet/phone bills in their name from the address they live at here till May 2025. (Petitioner - no longer living there. Ended their rental in April/May 2025) Active PO box in their name to continue receiving their mail (Petitioner) Affidavit from the petitioner that they didn't abandon their residency here. Stating they are in their home country to represent me in property purchase acting as an agent through POA from me. Explaining that their job here was closed for the summer, hence they were able to go instead of me due to my employment commitments. (not currently employed) Affidavit from me (i am a joint sponsor as well) stating that I granted them POA to act as my agent in our home country to purchase a property in my name. As I was not able to take time off from work. Stating that upon their return, they will be staying with me at my home until they decide their next housing plans. A copy of the said POA and the property sale contract Bills, insurance and other mail showing that I currently live in that address. How does these look? Do you think they are sufficient to prove on going ties to the US and proof of domicile upon their return? Thanks!

The petitioner is LPR. They moved to the US and became LPR in 2023. Should this be treated the same? answer No and write the reason in the Additional Information fields at the end?

Hello, Question 15 in part 6. Asking the sponsor "Have you filed a Federal income tax return for each of the three most recent tax years" That would be 2024, 2023 and 2022. The petitioner moved to the US in 2023. Should the answer be Yes and write N/A on the 2022 field and explain on the extra fields that they moved to the US on 2023? Or should they answer No and explain the same way? They will be using a joint spoinsor anyway who meets and exceeds the requirements. Thanks

Hello everyone, F2A applicant received 2 emails from NVC this morning. 1 stating that his expedite request was approved and his case has been forwarded to the US embassy. 2nd email stated "Our records indicate you will turn 21 years old in 120 days or less. When you turn 21, you may become ineligible to immigrate under the F22 visa classification. To ensure you can immigrate before this happens, the National Visa Center sent your petition to the U.S. Embassy for expedited processing. The Embassy will contact you soon " He never requested any expedite though. His PD will be current October 1st 2025. Is this normal?

What about the 1 year period? Does the applicant have 1 year to pay and submit from the PD becoming current or 1 year from the case creation at NVC? As of now, Beirut consulate. During the war that consulate was closed, and the applicant and family left the country and returned later. Hopefully things stay steady there and everywhere in the world.

Thank you for your help. Does he have 1 year to pay the fees and submit documentd from when the priority date becomes current? in this case, October 1st of 2025? so in theory, he have till october 1st 2026 before his case will be terminated? Can they pay the fees now or should they wait till 1st week of October 2025? Appreciate your help.

The applicant is my brother from 1 parent and 1 step-parent. He is not married. I am helping them but i am not a pro at this. I keep reading that the 'acquired action date' has passed.

They received the welcome letter in December 2023. They havent taken any action due to war and leaving home. Since they will be current in October 1st. Can they still send the docs and pay the fees now? I asked them if they received any NVC or USCIS termination letter and said no. They said they just logged into their case on CEAC and were able to pay the fees.

Welcome lettee for NVC? I think they received the email a while ago. But they had war in their home country since last year and they had to flee. They were unable to obtain any documents and submit applications.

They havent paid the IV fee or submitted DS260. Does this disqualify them? or they can do it now Thanks

Can you please help me understand more. Their DOB is November 10th 2004. They will turn 21 on that date. Does this mean they have a year to take action from that date? or they could still age out if a visa is not issued by November? Thanks a lot

Good afternoon, Visa bulletin is out for October 2025. Showing F2A date as of February 2024. If an applicant with PD of August 2nd 2023, does this mean they are current and can get a visa? The applicant turns 21 in November this year, but should have 4 months of age calculation. Applied in August 2nd 2023 and approved December 7th 2023. How does this work, should the visa be issued before they are 21 years old, or to be current before they are 21 years old? Thanks

I tried that. NVC said they are unable to bypass the priority date since it is mandate by Congress.

Oh ok. I was not sure what is the Humanitarian parole that allows someone to enter for a year. Thanks
