    ok, so not a banned country. But AP can take an awful lot longer so you do need to be prepared for that - do you have a friend that could rehome him/her maybe?

    No such thing I'm afraid. As said above, B visas can be extended in extreme circumstances. ESTA can't. I'm sorry, sounds like it's a really tough situation. Who has the brain cancer, the ESTA holder or a relative?

    Her husband but not your father? So a separate application further down the line? And it’ll take much longer than her application as unlike parents of a USC, spouses of a LPR aren’t classed as ‘immediate relatives’ so they have a longer wait for a visa. So just something else to factor in as she’ll need her own healthcare until he is there and working. Best of luck. As the beneficiary, she’ll have all that from the Welcome Letter. USCIS have nothing to do with visa fees!

    Not necessarily, it’s possible he could have renewed his visitor visa repeatedly, Canada can be quite generous in that request. He’s still working illegally though which won’t end well when caught. It’ll happen at some point, particularly if he’s crossing in to the US regularly which makes it almost guaranteed that at some point he’ll be stopped and questioned, his phone searched etc. I agree with @mam521, he needs to go home asap, Canada’s not an option for his visa application anyway as he’s not resident there.

    So is this for the visa application at NVC? Or the interview? It sounds like you’re sorted either way but it would be helpful to know which stage you’re asking about. As for other police certs, we can’t know that as we have no idea which other countries you’ve lived in before. So ever spent more than 6 months anywhere else?

    Then your child will be a US citizen from birth.

    I'm not a Sir! 😂 No, they're not holding your application. You are not eligible for a visa by law until your PD is current on the VB so nothing will happen until then. What do you mean you 'will try for Mumbai'? Is that where you live? You don't choose the date, you wait to be given one, but you interview wherever you're resident usually.
  22. appleblossom
    They don't specify long form birth cert, so I think you'll be ok personally. Good luck.
  23. appleblossom
    Never use AI for immigration advice! It seems to be wrong more than it's right, and your spouse simply isn't eligible until June from what you've said. Your call, personally I wouldn't risk it as if you're denied (plenty on the forum have been, see threads below for a couple of examples), you have to other start over and pay another fee.

  25. appleblossom
    You can't move ahead with F2B now anyway as your PD isn't current. So your choice, you can notify NVC of your parent's citizenship and move to F1, or leave it as it is and wait for F2B to become current. Nobody can tell you which would be best, as we have no idea when F2B may become current, or even if either category may retrogress.

    A verbal approval means nothing unfortunately. Everybody is placed in to AP for final background checks before a visa is issued. For most, that's super quick (my status was only on AP for about 2 hours before it changed to issued), but for some there's more checks that need to be done and so they're put in to 'proper' AP. Sounds like that's you, and there's no notification sent. I'm afraid nothing you can do but wait it out. Anything that may have triggered it - were you born in Canada or elsewhere? Ever lived anywhere other than Canada? Any employment history in a job on the TAL list? Any previous US visa violation? Were you the main applicant, or your husband?

    How did you become a citizen and how long have you lived in the US?
  29. appleblossom
    You don’t need to do anything, personally I would pay the fees though as they’re likely to increase between now and her being ready. Just don’t do anything else. Your Mum should contact them, it’s her visa application. How long is she likely to want to put the application on hold for? One thing to factor in is the cost of health insurance - obviously I have no idea how old she is or what her situation is, but if she’s waiting for retirement to move, it may be better to go sooner so she could try and work enough to become eligible for SS and Medicare. Just a thought anyway. Good luck.

    Which consulate will she be interviewing at?
