    It used to, but they announced last year that was stopping for most - I'd give it another week or so just in case, but be prepared to go to an office and have to apply in person. Have you got Informed Delivery set up? Then you'll know if it's on the way or not before it arrives (ditto the GC).

    They stopped sending SSN's out for most, even if that box is ticked, last year. So most have to go and apply in person now. It takes up to 90 days to receive the GC, 6-8 weeks is about the norm though. Yes, keep checking on there, it'll tell you when it's been sent for production.

    I would just keep checking for cancellations personally. Priority is being given to those that have tickets for the World Cup at the moment, rather annoyingly for everybody else, but I suspect more slots will free up once that's done. Good luck.

    Has your original date passed? Please update your timeline, thx.

    OK, that makes sense. How often will you be returning home? If it's every weekend (for example) then I'd say you don't need to change your address personally as your main home will still be with your wife. Make sure you keep evidence of all your visits.

    Yes. Are there any exceptions? Dual nationals applying with a valid passport of a country that is not listed above are exempt from this pause.   https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/immigrant-visa-processing-updates-for-nationalities-at-high-risk-of-public-benefits-usage.html

    Living apart from your wife, even for employment reasons, is very risky. Can she not move to you? What visa is your wife on and when does it expire?

    I’m really not sure what else you’re expecting. You’ve posted, we’ve given you our advice, and you seem to disagree with it. Which is fine, but does rather beg the question of why you posted in the first place. So my final advice would be to have a paid consultation with a highly regarded immigration attorney (I can recommend Fragomen FWIW) and hopefully they’ll give you an answer you can trust. Or, just submit what you have but be prepared for an RFE and delay, your call if you want to take that risk. Good luck to you.

    I thought you were an immi lawyer? But either way, if the OP doesn’t want to believe answers given on an immigration forum, then perhaps a lawyer consult might be a better idea.
  22. appleblossom
    For what? Sorry but it’s not clear what you were expecting to happen? As @Boiler said, applying so soon after a refusal isn’t a good idea. Leave it a year or two. i’d also research really carefully before you apply again. Find out the exact offences you’ve been convicted of, or admitted to. Because non dwelling burglary could be up to 10 years in prison, or could be a much lower punishment, depending on the exact details of your crime. I think you need to look into that before you decide whether to apply again or not. https://sentencingcouncil.org.uk/guidelines/non-domestic-burglary/ Also, how long ago were these offences committed? If they were recent, then pretty much no chance, and that’s another reason to leave it as long as possible before reapplying.

    Nope. You’ve been given the answer by an immigration lawyer above. But if you don’t want to listen to the advice given then why bother posting on a forum? Arrange a paid consultation with an immigration lawyer instead. Good luck to you.

    Perfectly normal. It can take 2-3 months, so don’t worry at all. Good luck.

    Make an appointment to apply in person. I didn’t think they were sending them out automatically anymore, thought that stopped last year.

    My biggest bit of advice would be to not overthink it, and don’t stress. Your relationship is legit, so all you need to do is be respectful and polite, make sure you take everything required (sounds like you’ve already got that covered) and just answer any questions honestly - definitely don’t practice questions as it’ll sound staged! Good luck.

    That's perfectly normal, it's 90 days from when you arrived in December, so you still have a way to go before it's outside of normal processing times. Keep an eye o the status and it'll tell you when it's in production. Good luck.
