    That's utter nonsense. Why 'despair all round'? It's not ideal, but shouldn't be stopping you doing anything or causing any major hassles for you? Keep us posted, hopefully your congresswoman giving UCSIC a nudge will do the trick, good luck.

    I would suggest they hold off doing anything else. Ideally you don't want to start the NVC process at all if you're wanting your other child's case to catch up. Once the NVC side of things is done and they've been DQ'ed, they'll be scheduled for an interview and then it becomes more hassle to postpone things. So if they haven't already submitted the DS-260, don't until you have the other case at NVC too. The good thing is that I-130 processing times have come down now, so your daughter's should be approved in the summer, and Montreal has got rid of their backlog too, so the wait for an interview isn't anywhere near as long as it once was. Fingers crossed they're all with you by Christmas. For timelines, the most helpful thing to do would be to fill yours in (on your profile). You'll then get info from those with similar timelines too, and it would save people asking questions. As you are a USC petitioning for a child, I'll move your thread as this sub forum is for spousal cases. Good luck.

    The I-130 could be approved any time from now. But often they don’t rush to approve the I-130’s when there’s no visa available to the beneficiary anyway, as is the case for your son-in-law. Which country was he born in and which month of 2025 did they apply in? He’s probably got about another 18 months to go as a rough guess. When is your daughter eligible for citizenship?

    Does it also have the stamp certifying their relationship? Did you send a copy of the back and front? Not sure why yours isn’t meeting the requirements but double check it carefully and hopefully you can work it out. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Peru.html

    Has the interview date they were given passed already? You can’t normally reschedule until after it has.

    You didn’t need to adopt him, your wife did. Then you could have petitioned him as your step son. I’d forget the guardianship thing as that’s no use to you anyway, she needs to see if adoption is possible, asap. Good luck.

    Ok, so an immediate relative and it should t be too much longer then. Which country is she from? It really would be helpful if you filled your timeline in, thx.

    @Gapsie hasn’t filled in his/her timeline (please do!) but you’ll find plenty of timelines on that section of the forum (top of the page). You should hear any day now. Did you file both I-130’s the same day? Don’t be surprised if one is approved a few days before the other, the two cases are not linked at this stage, but you can ask for them to be linked at the NVC stage so that they are interviewed at the same time. Good luck.

    It was because of the travel ban, and 221g is right. It just means she’s rejected until the ban is rescinded so her case is on hold until then.

    Follow the official website, and do make sure you get the right type - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Canada.html

    Never use AI for immigration advice. You were refused, there’s no recourse other than applying again further down the line. But leave it a couple of years and then if you decide to try again, it may be worth consulting with a lawyer first. Even if you were recommended for a waiver of ineligibility that takes a year anyway so it’s never going to be a quick or easy process. There are other countries that would be less hassle so personally I’d just holiday elsewhere! Good luck.

    He should update it, but he can opt out of the conversion to F1 if he wants. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#ivp6 But F1 is faster at the moment for some countries, so he may choose to switch. Which country is your SIL from and what is her PD?

    That still isn’t telling us why you think fraud might be an issue though? When you say you ‘never replied to USCIS’, about what? What did they contact you about? Normally you don’t get anything from them until it’s an approval or denial. So did they send you a notice saying they intended to deny your application unless you could send more evidence of something? If you check the status of the petition now, what does it say?

    Never heard of anybody needing to go to secondary at any airport, it's all usually done pretty quickly at the first window. Congrats, glad it all went smoothly.

    Of course you have to declare the conviction. Why an H-4? When were you laid off?
