    Everything you'll need is on the website above, it also tells you what you'll need for the interview too. You'll just get a link to that website from NVC anyway, they don't give you a personalised checklist. Good luck.

    Never, ever use AI for immigration advice! All the info you need is on the official website, it's a step by step guide that tells you exactly what will be needed (make sure you look at the country specific guidelines too) - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

    Hard to say, as you've not completed your timeline - please do, as then your stats contribute to the quoted times, and it helps others going forwards. 1.5 years is possible if your I-130 is approved fairly soon, a lot depends on how quickly you do things at the NVC stage. If you're ready to go, submit your docs, pay your fees, etc, then it may well be late spring rather than summer. On the plus side, Stockholm is super quick, only 1 or 2 months wait for an interview letter - other countries are 2 years or more just for that stage.

    Yes. But which country is he from?

    I'd double that time estimate then for a sibling. Definitely apply asap, good luck.
  15. appleblossom
    Oh, so you're petitioning an adult child? In which case, definitely no need to worry about the ban for now! The visa application is a long way off.

    Sounds like he didn't apply for an extension on medical grounds? If so, as above, he can't ever use that visa again. It became invalid the moment he overstayed. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/visa-expiration-date.html So if he hasn't done so already, he must apply for a new visa if he wants to visit her.

    An I-130 isn't a visa application, so it has nothing to do with this new ban on visas. And depending on who you're petitioning, by the time the I-130 is approved the ban may be long over anyway.

    No chance of that from Trump! But no, you won't have to wait that long to hear back. Assuming you're applying via Stockholm, my guess will be that she'll have her visa by the summer, as long as you submit everything promptly and correctly at the NVC stage.

    I think theoretically it's only for people who haven't received visas already, but personally I wouldn't risk it. I'd be getting on a plane before the ban is implemented.
  31. appleblossom
    If it was the NVC stage then yes, that would reset the clock (although these days it's only a couple of weeks for cases to be DQ'ed there). I may have read it wrong but I think this is an RFE from USCIS for the I-130, I don't think that's been approved yet.
  32. appleblossom
    That is good news. Probably it will mean dual citizens that are citizens of one of the countries on that list will be face AP, but as a citizen of Pakistan that was pretty much guaranteed for you anyway so hopefully this will have no impact on your case.
  33. appleblossom
    That's really odd, they should be well aware! Was it the Swedish or English version? If the former, did you include the translation? Sounds like you've provided everything required now and it's fairly straightforward, so fingers crossed you'll be approved soon. Best of luck.

    Just checking, but this is what you provided for the marriage certificate? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Sweden.html What did you originally provide in the way of proof of a bona fide marriage? If they had quite a bit and just want a little more then hopefully it will be quick, if you didn't submit much at all then it could take longer.
  35. appleblossom
    It would vary. If it's a simple replacement form then it would be quicker than somebody who's submitted a bunch of docs relating to a police record and needs extra background checks (just as an example). What was the RFE for?
