How did they enter - with or without inspection (i.e. through a 'proper' POE, or crossing the border)?

Montreal Consulate EB-2 Interview Wait Time - Part 3
appleblossom replied to TBoneTX's topic in Canada
The visa in your passport is what you'll use to enter the US. Once that's stamped and dated upon entry, it acts as a temporary green card for a year until the plastic one turns up. Your plan sounds fine, just bear in mind that you become tax resident in the US from the moment you land - just in case that might be a factor. Now you've got your visa, please complete your timeline to help other EB applicants going forward. Thanks and good luck. -

Urgently need in help for appointment
appleblossom replied to Starbolins's topic in Student & Exchange Visitor Visas
The official page says less than 2 weeks to a month, so super quick. And it's usually pretty accurate. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html Good luck.- 1 reply

Yes, far too early. It can take a couple of months for it to even be received by NVC. But please do ask any questions about your own case on your own thread, thx.

You might as well ask, it's free to do so and won't harm your case. I think it's highly unlikely it'll be granted as you could change your living situation to save money instead (i.e. get a room in shared house). But give it a go. Hopefully you won't need it, there's still a chance you'll have a visa by July. Good luck.

What @Crazy Cat has said. ^^ My first thought was DCF as well if he has a reason for a short notice relocation. That would be much more likely than a K-1 expedite.

I’m not sure that’s a feasible plan any longer with the new fee. Would any company be prepared to pay $100,000 for a new graduate with little or no work experience?

Here’s a slightly later one, approved in February - https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=432986 There aren’t many F2A timelines on VJ though (please add yours). What is your PD and which country were you born in?

As said above, you can't help him in any way. Your wife can only petition dependent children, once she's a citizen she can also petition parents and siblings but that's it. But if you can give us more info then there may be another visa route. Why does he want to come for 'an extended period of time' - to do what?

Do you mean you were DQ’ed by NVC? if so, you should hear very soon, assuming it’s an immediate relative visa or your PD is current. Madrid is one of the quickest consulates (some other consulates are 2+ years between being DQ’ed and receiving an interview letter!). Please fill in your timeline and profile, so we know which visa you’re asking about. Thanks, and good luck.

I'd go as soon as possible then. I moved with teens, it's much harder for them to adjust and the older they get the more reluctant they'll be to give up friends/hobbies/boyfriend/girlfriend. Also, if you move when they're older be prepared that they might want to come back to the UK to work or study. Both of mine are at uni in the UK (at vast expense, as they're now classed as international students!). It's just something else to factor in, again the earlier you move the more likely they are to want to stay in the US long term. Good luck.

If the OP does that, then his spouse can't use the Follow to Join benefit. He'd have to petition him/her instead and it would take much longer.

I'd be gobsmacked if they asked you anything about your marriage. I entered on E11 status, it took 2 minutes and the only thing I was asked was the address I wanted the GC sent to. You've already got the visa, entering the US is purely administrative at that point. But if asked, you just tell them the truth. There's no obligation on you to update your marital status and you've not done anything wrong. It would have been easier for you to married prior to the visa being issued (if I were you, I'd have postponed the interview until after the marriage, so your wife could have become a LPR at the same time) but it's no biggie. There are other visa classes where it would be an issue, but EB1A isn't one of them. Good luck.

How old are the children? Easily done on your own, no need for a lawyer.

Yes, they'll email to tell you you missed your appointment and ask you to reschedule, if you don't respond or do that then they'll email again and eventually cancel your application. I'd go to the interview, get the visa, and then go down the re-entry permit route personally. Far less risky.
