    Usually pretty quick, you should have your passport back within a couple of weeks. If you have a good read of the link above and go to the Montreal specific page you'll find more details. What does your online status say now?

    Assuming your sibling has sponsored you for an immigrant visa, the whole process is laid out step by step on this website - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html Sounds like you're at Step 12, so follow it from there and read all the links. Good luck.

    Other countries/categories have moved quicker, but the Philippines has hundreds of thousands of people waiting (which is why it has its own category on the VB). Manila issues approx 30,000 immigrant visas each year, but give priority to immediate relatives, and even 30,000 doesn't touch the backlog really when it's so many people in line, with more joining all the time. Is there any other route to a visa for them - employment based maybe?

    Unlikely, given the usual wait. Did you see my response to you above? Which country are you living/working in?
  20. appleblossom
    What 10 year visa - do you mean a B visa for the US? Or a Canadian visa? Do they live in Canada? That and the answers to the questions above will all have a bearing on it so please give more info and somebody will try and help.

    What does your online status say when you check it? Your service centre should be on the receipt notice, bottom left. As @carmel34 said, you need to submit an enquiry once your case is outside normal processing times. According to the processing times page (scroll right down to find the tool) your case is processing normally now. 17 months is the norm (but only for 80% of cases - so 1 in 5 will take longer) and you can submit an enquiry on 18th Sept. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Any sent before that wouldn’t usually be responded to, but wait a couple of months and if you haven’t had an approval by then you can enquire.

    Not a clue! Just something I've noticed, particularly if it's from a country with a big backlog (as presumably the short staffing causing that backlog also means a delay in sending files over). If it's only been 2 months then you're still well within normal timescales even without a transfer - they're currently scheduling those DQ'ed in Feb. My guess is that you may need to wait until October, as I suspect the visa limit will be reached before you get your interview. But that is just a guess, nobody knows for sure. Good luck.

    Not been released this month you mean? They are usually towards the end of the month so may just be too early. It's done by DQ date, but transfers seem to take a bit longer. Just in case you haven't found it yet, this shows you what month they're current scheduling for, it's those who were DQ'ed in Feb 2025 - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html

    Reviews are at the top of the page. And search by putting key words in to the search bar, making sure you go to 'advanced' and selecting all of those words. You can also look at the long running EB threads for info, you might find some there. But somebody else's experience isn't going to reflect yours anyway, so I really wouldn't worry about it if you can't find any. Whatever they were asked isn't likely to be the same for you, the officer will ask you specific questions based on your own application, not anybody else's. Good luck.

    Which country do you live in? I assume you’re not resident in both India and Nepal? So you need to request a transfer just for the country you’re living/working in. From the NVC website “If your petition is being processed at the National Visa Center (NVC), contact the NVC to request the transfer. NVC will transfer cases to another IV processing post if parties provide a written request along with the address in the requested country and the proof of eligibility (citizenship/legal residency in the requested country”.

    He was EB-3, not EB2 NIW, and also hasn't been on the forum for a couple of years. You can search to find more recent experiences though.

    She'd be allowed to, but you'd probably pay international fees. If it's a permanent move then personally I'd forget GCSE's, they'll be no use to her in the US anyway and I can't see why you'd put her through the stress of that for nothing, particularly as it will then also make her final two years in a US school more stressful as she'll be trying to cram stuff in and get her GPA up in a short amount of time. Better to get her in a local school asap so she can start making friends and getting to grips with the subjects and preparing for college IMO. College prep starts years earlier in the US, she'll need to be doing all sorts of extra curricular stuff if she wants to go to college there, and a US school will be well versed in that. JMO though, and obviously she's your child, but if we'd been moving permanently and our son had planned to go to a US college, there's no way we'd have put him in a British school.
