    Looks like PD is June 2009 according to your previous thread? So there’s nothing to ‘follow up’, no interview will be scheduled as there isn’t a visa available. I’d guess 4-5 years as a rough guess, just keep an eye on the Visa Bulletin. Good luck.

    What’s the Priority Date? DQ date is only relevant if there is a visa available.

    I'd imagine that would be a positive, not a negative. My daughter's SH was within the previous year and it wasn't an issue at all, they just asked her why and she explained. There are other threads on the same subject with lots of other SH'ers who've had no probs with the medical, maybe get your husband to sit and have a read of those to reassure him. Best of luck.

    Citizenship rules haven't changed for many years AFAIK. You won't be double taxed unless you move to a country without a tax treaty with the US (the UK isn't one of them). And as @OldUser said, you'd be subject to the same rules as a GC holder anyway.

    Should be fine. My teenage daughter had very recent SH scars and was on Sertaline at the time of our medical in London, wasn't an issue at all. Just be upfront about it, tick the relevant box on the questionnaire and hand the letter over. Good luck.

    Yep. I wonder if they've calculated it using the interview or visa approval date, which might explain why they think they were eligible but they haven't been given visas.

  24. appleblossom
    It's pretty straightforward, will take about 2 years in total. Start here, follow each step carefully -https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html She can live anywhere in the US she chooses. Good luck.
  25. appleblossom
    Yep. But once the I-130 is approved then they’ll be waiting for their PD to become current before they can get a visa, and as above will want the I-130 to take as long as possible so any dependent children stand a chance of not aging out. I’m not sure when they applied but it’ll be a 15-20 year wait.

    The date the I-130 was approved. And which country were they born in? Either way if the parents have already got their visas I suspect it’s too late now. You said they were ‘included on the DS-260’, but did they each pay a set of fees and submit their own DS-260’s?

    I'm not sure I see any point in switching now. EB2-NIW's are being scrutinised and rejected more these days, but you should be a shoo in for it. If timing really doesn't work out then you could always do an EB-1 at that point, but I think I'd leave it for now rather than spend money on what could be an unnecessary application.
  32. appleblossom
    Certainly sounds as though you'd meet the criteria for EB1-A. You could have done that and delayed things to 2029 if you'd wanted (or got your visa earlier and then filed a re-entry permit).
  33. appleblossom
    You can't delay the I-140, but you can delay the second stage (the actual visa application) for as long as you need to. You just need to take action at least once a year, but that can be paying a fee, submitting a document, or even just logging in. And you won't get a green card prior to immigrating, you'll get an immigrant visa. Only once you enter the US on that visa do you then get the green card. Best of luck.
  34. appleblossom
    But there is a rule if it's been the primary residence, living there 2 years out of the previous 5 before sale - so essentially gives those selling their home 3 years before it's subject to US CGT.
  35. appleblossom
    This is a bit concerning, if you think being long distance would break you? Many people on here have done it for much longer than 2 years. So I'd make sure you're sure before heading down this path. But if that's the worry, then I'd go CR-1, but marry now. Why wait until next summer? Just a simple courthouse wedding asap, then file the I-130 (you can always have a bigger celebration later on if that's what you want). You don't need to prove financials or domicile until after the I-130 is approved, so that still gives her plenty of time to move ahead of you and sort that side of things.
