Odd, as that’s not correct either. I’d be inclined to just add a note saying USPS says delivered but it wasn’t. But your call.

2b. 2a would be if you received it and then lost it, but you never received it in the first place. I hope your lawyer is covering the fee for the replacement! And do make sure you track it this time using the receipt number.

Great, so it’s been printed on 22nd. Shouldn’t be too much longer then. 👍🏻
-
So her visa was granted? That’s a different scenario then. I’d bet the decision to grant it was made based on the DS-160, and the questions asked just to confirm the decision. There are numerous stories on the forum of people being refused without being asked questions, those are the people I’m taking about when I say I don’t know why they bother to get them in for an ‘interview’.
-
It would be on the usual CEAC status page - https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx?TSPD_101_R0=0883343043ab2000211a2fa8887c1a10016ec46a54b53798361ab061f4dca95110b19611bc902fc708c47495d1143000d1201e63b6eab506e042128432535378b0290f747348128a53b4fd85b4a80a842ac5b54e815ac68f7e86c250a3a6c372 What does it say on there?

Pretty standard. The decision seems to usually be made off the application, I’m not really sure why they bother with the interview at all.

It’s 2.5 years out of the previous 5, but also any absence over 6 months can reset the continuous residency clock - so sounds like that might be the case for her. If so, she’s a way off naturalisation eligibility and worrying about waivers. If she’s got a re-entry permit that helps preserve her status though so that’s good. I agree your brother is probably at least 17 years away from getting a visa, not 10. So if that may be the catalyst for her wanting to move permanently to the US then maybe it’s better for her to relinquish her LPR status for now and you can apply again for her when the time comes. If she gets a tourist visa then travel insurance would cover the medical side of things when she visits.
-
I think she needs to make a decision sooner than that. She can’t keep bouncing between the two countries and not making the US her proper permanent home, at some point she’ll be at risk of losing her LPR status. What ties does she have to the US other than you? House, job, filing tax returns etc? As @OldUser asked, how much time has she spent in the US since getting her green card? As for your brother, has somebody already petitioned him? Not sure who ‘and family’ is but if he’s married and he’s not been petitioned already there’s no way he’ll be moving in 10 years. It would be a lot longer, and the quickest route would be for your mother to petition him - but if he’s married she’d need to be a citizen first to do so.

I’d wait at least a year and as above, not bother unless her circumstances/ties have changed.
-
Just verbally told approved (which means nothing) or approved status online? His status will say ‘issued’ when the visa has actually been printed and placed in the passport.

appleblossom replied to kjc22's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
I posted that before the scrapping of the exemption for immediate relatives was announced. But in any event the Dominican Republic isn’t on that list s hopefully won’t affect the OP. -

Is your sister a USC/LPR and living in America? If so this is a counter productive argument if they currently live apart from her. And if she’s not, then it can’t be used as a hardship reason. Frankly, I don’t think any of the reasons you’ve listed show hardship to an eligible relative. Your Mom choosing to study in the US isn’t relevant (surely she could do the same course elsewhere?), and your brother is a reason for them to stay in Spain, not move to the US. I agree with the above, this isn’t a DIY case. With an overstay and fraud, your Dad needs professional help.
-
Had she filed the I-407 to remove her status before you filed again? I wonder if that’s why there was such a huge delay. As above, W-2’s should be pretty quick to obtain. Good luck.
-
Ok, so once they’re married and he petitions her then a few years. Or if he’s not a GC holder yet then they could marry and she could be a derivative on his application? It would be a longer wait but at least they’d be together.

That’s crazy, should have only been 18 months max to this point! When was the I-130 approved?
