    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.

    For whatever you need a lawyer for. They were great.

    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.

    The OP’s fiancée is from Syria, it’s a full ban.

    Not specifically EB visa, but ALL immigrant visas from Venezuela. It was announced last June, back then there were exemptions from the ban for immediate relatives of US citizens (although that wouldn't have helped the OP anyway). Recently exemptions have been taken away too, so now it's all visas. https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/12/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-further-restricts-and-limits-the-entry-of-foreign-nationals-to-protect-the-security-of-the-united-states/

    You are aware that anybody from Venezuela can no longer get an immigrant visa? So your wife's case won't be processed any further unless the ban is lifted/amended. Your visa should be issued, your wife's won't unfortunately. So you may need to make a decision on if you want to cancel your own case or keep going - bearing in mind that once you get that visa, you only have six months from the date of the medical to enter the US and activate it, and then will be a LPR of the US with all the obligations that entails.

    Yes, take updated docs to the interview. Why has there been such a big delay? Whatever the reason for it was, that may need to be factored in.

    Sounds like a glitch then, particularly if it's happening for others too. Try again tomorrow and hopefully it will work.

    She's wrong, it's no different just because you're from Canada. The only thing to be aware of is from a tax point of view i.e. if you had a house to sell in Canada after becoming a US LPR (and therefore liable to US tax).

    Right, and it gives the status much earlier than the interview stage. Maybe I’m misunderstanding your question.

    I'm confused, the picture above says the interview took place last November? But yes, you usually have to be resident in the country you're interviewing in. Why is the spouse not interviewing where s/he is living? Is s/he a citizen of the other country?
  33. appleblossom
    It should display it much earlier than that, from when it's at NVC.

    Might just be a glitch. What stage are you at?
