    (a) I wouldn't personally, I've not been through it myself, but seemingly it's the easiest thing to do yourself so unless you have complicated circumstances I can't see why you would. (b) Why? How are they relevant to you? (c) Why do you think it is? It's telling you you're not eligible *now*, which is correct. (e) potentially but it'll just be some extra checks (which may mean there's a bit of a delay, not sure I'd call it 'abnormal' though personally) Good luck.

    Might be worth having another read of the answers given in previous threads? The timeline has increased since you last asked though as the wait for an interview at Santo Domingo is now ~19 months. So I’d now estimate 2.5-3 years overall but of course that may change between now and your Mom getting to the interview letter stage, just check it once the I-130 is approved to see what the wait is then - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html Good luck.

    What kind of application, what Priority Date, and which country?

    **Thread moved to the Canada sub forum, as this is a consulate specific question**

    You can search timelines on the forum at the top of the page - please fill yours in too to add to the body of knowledge on VJ (on your profile) once you’ve started. You’ve also got the wrong visa type of your profile so might want to correct that. Once you’ve done that and added your initial timeline in, I believe you get an estimate from the forum as to when your I-129f might be approved. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/k1list.php?op1=3&op2=&op3=1&op4=1&op5=&op6=All Figure about a year as a (very) rough guide assuming no complicating factors. Good luck.

    Good, there’s definitely a visa available to you then. You can request an expedite following the instructions on the usual website - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#:~:text=To request a review for,or death medical emergency exists And contact Montreal too with the same documents, using the email here - https://ca.usembassy.gov/immigrant-visa-process/ Despite what it says, they do offer them for job related reasons too but the company will need to prove that any delay in you starting would cause them severe financial loss. So they’ll need to make a strong case for why they can’t wait another ~8 months ish for you to get a visa and why you should be allowed to jump the line. Good luck and thanks in advance for you completing your timeline.

    No interview for the I-130, usually just one interview for the visa application.
  19. appleblossom
    They won’t keep it as nobody has any idea when the ban will end. So he’ll be refused for now pending that and then will be asked to send his passport in when a visa does become available to him. Good luck.

    You mean from petition approval to interview date? The visa isn't approved until after the interview. Not sure what an IVP process is? But yes, you can request an expedite - you'll need the company that wants to hire you to make a strong case for it. Which country were you born in and what's your PD? Have you been DQ'ed? Please do fill in your timeline - as well as helping other EB applicants and adding to the body of knowledge on the forum, it also means we can help you better as we then have all the info needed rather than having to ask all of these questions.

    Illegal immigants do file and pay taxes, most with ITIN's - to the tune of ~$100B a year. https://itep.org/undocumented-immigrants-taxes-2024/ Most pay at a higher rate than USC's as they don't get the same tax breaks, and they pay in to programs they can't access i.e. Medicare, social security etc. So I don't think there's anything missing in the situation just because they've been paying taxes, most undocumented workers do.

    No, the timeline on your profile please. See mine (just click on the 'Timeline' button to the left of my posts) to see an example. Thank you.

    Please do you have any idea when the immigration visa pause for 75 countries will be lifted?

      No way of knowing I'm afraid. Could be weeks, months or years. Please post in the main forums with info about the case and country for relevant info.

    How did they enter - with or without inspection (i.e. through a 'proper' POE, or crossing the border)?
  33. appleblossom
    The visa in your passport is what you'll use to enter the US. Once that's stamped and dated upon entry, it acts as a temporary green card for a year until the plastic one turns up. Your plan sounds fine, just bear in mind that you become tax resident in the US from the moment you land - just in case that might be a factor. Now you've got your visa, please complete your timeline to help other EB applicants going forward. Thanks and good luck.

    The official page says less than 2 weeks to a month, so super quick. And it's usually pretty accurate. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html Good luck.
