    Unbelievable. I'd respond saying that's misrepresentation/fraud, and then have nothing to do with this agency again. I'd also ask for a refund.

    Why would you not submit his paperwork as soon as you can? But yes, once his PD is current that’s the date they’ll use for the CPSA calculation. All of the info you need is here - https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/child-status-protection-act-cspa Just remember that he must pursue a visa within a year of him becoming eligible for one, so if you are going to delay things for any reason do bear that in mind.

    Yes, once the visa is endorsed it acts as a temporary green card. The plastic one should arrive within about 90 days from you entering on the visa or paying the fee, whichever is the latest. https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/temporary-i-551-stamps-and-mrivs Can you share the numbers you’re using to try and pay the fee? Not the exact numbers obviously, replace them with different ones but just the format of them so we can check. And when does your visa expire?

    Why does your daughter turning 18 mean it has been expedited? I'm not understanding why that's relevant? Have you had the expedite confirmed? And if so, by USCIS, or NVC, or the consulate? It's still not clear what stage you're at or what you're waiting for, have you paid the fees, submitted the DS-260 and submitted docs too? Have you been documentary qualified or are you waiting for that? What does your status say on CEAC?

    Not long at all, London is one of the quickest consulates. Hopefully you should have an interview this year or early next. Please fill in your timeline (on your profile), many thanks.

    Are you being interviewed together, or separately?

    At least France is fairly small, so nowhere is too far from Paris. Pity those that live in bigger countries and have to pay for flights and hotels i.e. people who live in Vancouver and have to get to Montreal, or those that live in Perth and have to fly to Sydney, etc!

    Ours were paid after we arrived. They just don't start the process until you've paid the fee and entered, so it will delay the green card a bit, but you can pay it anytime. It even says that on the payment page itself - https://my.uscis.gov/accounts/uscis-immigrant-fee/start/overview "You may also pay the fee after you arrive in the United States" As said above, the info you need is on the visa so only use those numbers. The DOS case number is your 'IV Case Number'.

    I wonder if it's because you applied so long ago, so nothing was online then. Interesting anyway, thanks for the info! And good luck with the rest of the process.
  22. appleblossom
    Curiouser and curiouser! Did both welcome letters say the same thing? This isn't an issue by the way, just of interest to me as I've never heard of a family preference application having to mail docs in, so wondering if it's a new thing.

    Yep, normal. Not something that is really needed with Lebanon and your dates, but it can't hurt.

    Ah, I see. So I-140 approved - EB1/2/3? Might be worth updating your profile with that instead as it's your current application that's key - and if you could fill in your timeline that would be much appreciated. There aren't many of us EB applicants around so the more data we have the better. Good luck.

    You don’t need to inform USCIS that you’re divorced, or separated. It’s not relevant, as you’re applying for citizenship independent of the marriage. You simply need to put the right marital status on the application but there’s no need to inform them separately of it.

    @OldUser has answered your question perfectly, but what’s this for? It’s just that your profile says H-1B, and there’s no medical/vaccinations required for that anyway as it’s a non-immigrant visa.
