And this is the trouble with taking X posts, or any other kind of social media 'fact' at face value and believing them. It's not mentioned in the actual statute in question - https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.066

So your spouse is on H1B and you are presumably a citizen? In-person slots for what?
-
Did you apply for AP? What's your current visa status?

Need Advice : RFE on I-693 AOS and submitted the new I-693.

That's only been 5 working days, far too early to worry. Could be anywhere between today and another few months, it just depends on when it gets to the front of the line to be looked at, and then any checks they do. Good luck, hope you hear soon.

What counts as "short notice" when requesting DCF?
-
There's no set time, but there's no way you'd get a 'normal' spouse visa before relocating if the job needs you there in 6 months, so I'd give it a shot personally. Just ask and then if they say no, you have your answer and can pursue the standard I-130 route. Good luck.

Can't help with what your FIL should submit I'm afraid (somebody else will be along for that shortly I'm sure), but just to say I wouldn't make any plans for her to move ahead of you, as you could well have your visa by then if you submit everything to NVC quickly. There's a good chance you'll all be moving at the same time. Best of luck.

If you're a citizen, then no. His case is currently F1 category, if he marries it will move to F3, so a longer wait but at least then she could go on his application and they could move together. Obviously their choice as to whether they'd rather wait longer together, or have a shorter overall timescale but be apart for a chunk of it. I believe that he is a citizen. @makers, it would probably be best if you started your own thread with any questions, posting them on a thread about F2B cases (which isn't relevant to your situation) is likely to just confuse things.

Changing job shortly before J1 visa interview. Risky or okay?
-
It’s fine. Realistically the J-1 isn’t likely to be approved if you’re reapplying so soon, so I’d suggest you just carry on with living your life. You don’t want to turn an opportunity down for a visa that may never happen. Good luck.

So the I-130 hasn’t been approved yet? Exactly when in 2024 did you apply?

i 1 30 petition for alien relative

AFAIK even before the August rule change the date for determining visa availability under CPSA was still the same - the PD must be current AND the petition must be approved, so it’s calculated on whichever is the later of those two dates. As you don’t know when the I-130 will be approved, that could be the crucial date. It really is just a case of waiting and seeing when the time comes.

Exactly when in 2024? Are you a US citizen? Has the I-130 been approved yet? It’s not clear what stage you’re at. In any event, Somalia is one of the countries banned by the Trump administration. Does she have another citizenship? If not she can’t get a visa anyway for now - https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/restricting-the-entry-of-foreign-nationals-to-protect-the-united-states-from-foreign-terrorists-and-other-national-security-and-public-safety-threats/

Possibly, but too early to say. It's just jumped forward hugely (used to be well over a year's wait for an interview). Until the next lot of people start getting their IL's, nobody can confirm if it's accurate or not really. -

I can recommend Fragomen, they were great. Please fill in the timeline on your profile, that's what contributes to the data on VJ and is much more useful, thanks. -

Oh I agree, it was the ‘more certain result’ that I was wondering about, I thought maybe there was a loophole I didn’t know about. I agree that marriage makes sense, the best any litigation is likely to do is to get the exemption put back in place for immediate relatives.
