    It’s the CEAC status that’s relevant now but that’s odd. It should say ‘At NVC’. Have you been checking junk emails? Just wondering if she was given an IL but missed it maybe. I think you definitely need to contact them again and maybe get your congressman/woman involved too. She should have had her visa a long time ago.

    No, her Priority Date is current. And it was current back in March 2025 as well, so there was a visa available to her as soon as she was DQ'ed. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-march-2025.html What does your online status say?

    That's odd. Her PD is current and if she was DQ'ed nearly a year ago, she should have had an interview a long time ago. Does she have another citizenship? Or she's just Korean? What have NVC said when you've contacted them about it, other than to check the wait time?

    For your IV fee you must use the A number on your actual visa.

    You’ve been filing your US taxes whilst living in Sweden? People who don’t have a job to go to in the US, or enough assets, use a joint sponsor. I would suggest you read up on this carefully now, as you may need it very soon and you don’t want to be scrabbling around and causing a delay. Good luck.

    Everything you'll need is on the website above, it also tells you what you'll need for the interview too. You'll just get a link to that website from NVC anyway, they don't give you a personalised checklist. Good luck.

    Never, ever use AI for immigration advice! All the info you need is on the official website, it's a step by step guide that tells you exactly what will be needed (make sure you look at the country specific guidelines too) - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

    Hard to say, as you've not completed your timeline - please do, as then your stats contribute to the quoted times, and it helps others going forwards. 1.5 years is possible if your I-130 is approved fairly soon, a lot depends on how quickly you do things at the NVC stage. If you're ready to go, submit your docs, pay your fees, etc, then it may well be late spring rather than summer. On the plus side, Stockholm is super quick, only 1 or 2 months wait for an interview letter - other countries are 2 years or more just for that stage.

    Yes. But which country is he from?

    I'd double that time estimate then for a sibling. Definitely apply asap, good luck.

    Oh, so you're petitioning an adult child? In which case, definitely no need to worry about the ban for now! The visa application is a long way off.
  30. appleblossom
    Sounds like he didn't apply for an extension on medical grounds? If so, as above, he can't ever use that visa again. It became invalid the moment he overstayed. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/visa-expiration-date.html So if he hasn't done so already, he must apply for a new visa if he wants to visit her.

    An I-130 isn't a visa application, so it has nothing to do with this new ban on visas. And depending on who you're petitioning, by the time the I-130 is approved the ban may be long over anyway.
  34. appleblossom
    No chance of that from Trump! But no, you won't have to wait that long to hear back. Assuming you're applying via Stockholm, my guess will be that she'll have her visa by the summer, as long as you submit everything promptly and correctly at the NVC stage.
  35. appleblossom
    I think theoretically it's only for people who haven't received visas already, but personally I wouldn't risk it. I'd be getting on a plane before the ban is implemented.
