    Depends, which consulate? As previously mentioned, please do fill your profile/timeline in - then it means we have the info needed to help when you ask a question, but it also 'pays it forward' and helps other applicants too. Thanks.

    You could change it, but don't think it would be worth it. It might save you a couple of months of wait time overall, but it would be a lot of hassle and cost to have to get to India for the interview etc, and you could be stuck there if you get put in to AP as well. The scheduling tool is usually pretty accurate. Could you please fill your timeline in (on your profile)? Good luck!

    Never go with what you've 'heard', only ever use official info. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html "Important: Police certificates expire after two years, unless the certificate was issued from your country of previous residence and you have not returned there since the police certificate was issued." Which country will you be interviewing in? Please do fill in your timeline, thanks.

    I'm not that familiar with a TIC but doesn't that mean you admitted to another uncharged offence? So that may mean you don't qualify for the petty offence exemption, as admissions count as well, not just convictions. Was a waiver of ineligibility mentioned at any point? I assume not but just checking. Although anybody being referred for a waiver these days then has a 15 month ish wait for that decision, and they're being refused under 214(b) as well more and more anyway.

    You've not got a new passport since applying? It's maybe just not working today but keep checking, sometimes the systems go down for maintenance or something like that. Good luck.

    Just checking, you're using the NVC case number, not the USCIS one? I know it sounds daft but it's an easy mistake to make! Your case status would have been updated all the time with things like 'At NVC', 'In Transit', 'Ready' etc, but if you're definitely putting the right details in then maybe it's just a glitch. Try another browser or just keep checking. Good luck, and please do update your timeline now you've been interviewed, to pay it forward and help other EB1 applicants. Thanks.

    Everybody goes through Admin Processing, it's just final checks before the visa is issued. For most it's super quick (mine was AP for literally about 2 hours before it changed to 'issued'). It's only if it goes beyond a few days that it means more in depth background checks are being done. Good luck.

    **Thread moved to SSN forum** He doesn't need his SSN to start work, only to get paid. But yes, he should go to an office. I didn't think they were sending them any more as of last year, but even if they are, after this long he should go and apply in person.

    Sounds like you would be ok paying for a second medical then, so maybe leave the interview as it is for now in the hope that the ban is lifted by then. I know there are court cases pending, but not sure when those decisions will be. Good luck.

    Nobody knows unfortunately, it could be lifted in a few weeks, or a few years. Depending on her financial circumstances, she may want to postpone the interview so she doesn't have to pay for the medical twice (as it will only be valid for 6 months, so chances are she'd have to pay for a second one when the ban is lifted).

    Yes, that's my point - if a police cert for Qatar was needed you wouldn't have been DQ'ed.
  29. appleblossom
    Are you using the official guide and making sure you follow that really carefully? It says it on there - as per @Crazy Cat's post above. But also if you needed a police cert for Qatar then you wouldn't have been DQ'ed.

    Seriously, don't wait for the February bank statements or wait 2 weeks to organise anything. Just file it now, as said above an RFE is far better than her being picked up and deported. You don't want to mess around with the current administration. Good luck.

    That’s really odd. Were you a USC when you petitioned him? Does he have any citizenship other than Canadian? Any criminal record? When you say the lawyer has ‘submitted 2 delay requests’ what do you mean? Did he just enquire, or submit a form for the case being outside normal processing times? I agree with the above. Time to contact your congressman and/or file a WoM. And fire your lawyer, because he should have suggested doing both of those a long time ago. Just FYI, you haven’t applied for your husbands green card. The I-130 is only the first step in a 2 part process, once that’s approved he’ll then apply for his immigrant visa (and get a GC when he enters the US on that). Best of luck to you.

    Ah, so she has a B2 medical visa? That is different then. I’d definitely be more concerned about your parents and their status. What’s the long term plan for them/your sister?
