    As Boiler said, AP is the biggest wait for any Iranian, whichever consulate they've interviewed at. But now the rules have tightened up (or, to put it another way, the rules that always existed are being enforced to stop 'consulate shopping'), the OP would only be allowed to interview in Turkey if they were either a Turkish citizen or resident there.

    They are not insisting you move your case. They’re just telling you it’s an option. These are standard emails sent to most (all?) applicants.

    Not 2 years and 3 months of waiting for the interview? You mean overall? That's still a long time, did you have multiple RFE's? All you can do is keep checking for interview slots to open up, it will happen but can take a while. Good luck.

    So by my calculations, you'll all definitely have aged out. Eldest is currently 30 years old, CPSA age 28 years. Youngest is currently nearly 26, CPSA age 24 years. And your PD isn't even current yet. A lawyer can't 'argue your case'. You're either eligible for a visa, or you're not, it's a matter of law. A lawyer will make no difference to that.

    Just a bigger backlog for CR-1 I guess. Please fill your timeline in so that when you ask questions it's easy to see which visa category you are, etc, plus it 'pays it forward' and helps others too. Thanks.

    Manila will be much quicker than Cairo (not sure why you couldn't see a date, but as said above, it's showing August 2025 for immediate relatives), but your citizenship isn't relevant, only your husbands. He would either need to be a Filipino or have residency in the Philippines to interview there, just visiting wouldn't make him eligible.

    And which visa? Please do fill in your timeline, it's really hard to help you without basic info about the visa route you're going down etc.

    Congrats! Please don’t forget to update your timeline with the latest info so anybody searching can see it. Hope the interview goes smoothly.

    So have you not tried them? You not being a citizen isn’t relevant. They can still help you.

    I'm afraid I agree with Boiler, this is likely a non starter. It wouldn't be EB-3 skilled worker as nannies don't require any training in the US, it would be EB-3 'other workers'. Realistically, no family is going to wait that long for you to be able to start work, if they are hiring a nanny then it will be because they have an immediate childcare need. And they're not likely to wait all those years and pay all the fees when they can hire an American immediately to fulfil that need. Plus the Labour Cert is going to be problematic, both for the reasons above, and because anybody already in America could do the job. Which consulate? And is this for a family you're already in contact with? Are they aware of the wait ahead of you?

    It's based on income "at the time you file". So what does his paycheck say? Add that to your salary and see if it's less than $84,600 (assuming just the two of you).

    Looks like you're a CR-1 applicant? So about a year - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html Good luck.
  34. appleblossom
    For which consulate and which visa?
  35. appleblossom
    It's only the 23rd? IL's for EB's are often sent nearer the end of the month. Please fill your timeline in, thanks!
