    Just being from Iran is likely enough to trigger lengthy AP. Remember that most Iranians can’t get any visa because of Trumps visa ban - you’re lucky with dual nationality but it shows the restrictions that are being put on Iran. If it’s AP for background checks then there’s nothing you can do but wait it out, yes it can take months or even years. FWIW, I think you answered the question correctly. It doesn’t say advanced training. But it does ask about training ‘such as firearms’ and you told the truth and said yes. Answering no would have been a lie.

    Not sure who you're asking (if you type '@' followed by their name, or quote them, then it will tag them), but most people have their timelines filled in if you go to their profiles which should give you the info you need. If you could fill yours in too, that would be great.

    Are you a Nigerian citizen? If so, are you a dual with Canada as well?

    It's only updated once a month, so that makes sense. I don't think you can see interview slots if you've already got one booked, so you'd have to cancel first. But best not to do that unless you absolutely have to.

    They can, but only for 6 months - but hopefully the OP's father isn't staying outside for longer than that anyway as otherwise he'll be risking losing his GC.
  19. appleblossom
    Your father should be able to access his social security from anywhere, it can be paid in to a bank account in another country. He doesn't need to be in the US for that. He can travel back to the US anytime too, he doesn't need to wait with you (and in fact is jeopardising his own status by doing so). It's not really clear what the situation is. Your father is a LPR, but in Mexico? How long has been outside the US? Does he have a re-entry permit? Your mother isn't a LPR? He's petitioned her for a visa but she needs a waiver (for what)? And what have you and your sibling applied for? You can only expedite if there is a visa available to you, so what kind of case and what is the Priority Date?
  20. appleblossom
    It's for all immigrant visas. DQ means Documentary Qualified (basically when you've applied for the visa at NVC, ticked all their boxes, and are just waiting for an interview). The current wait for an interview at Lagos is 16 months ish (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html), but it looks as though you haven't even applied for the I-130 yet? So a long way off a visa, the ban may be lifted by then, and the backlog is likely to be very different by then too. I'd just get the I-130 submitted asap to start the process. Good luck.

    Yep, I think it's usually pretty accurate. So she should get an interview scheduled fairly soon, it'll come via email. Good luck.
  23. appleblossom
    Possibly, but if @mira205 was eligible for EB1A (for example), that could be obtained in a few months - and if her PD is March 2017, she could still be waiting another year or more for it to become current. So I'd say still worth exploring an EB application if it's possible and if it would be an EB1.

    I can't see any previous details of your case on VJ, did you maybe have another username?
  25. appleblossom
    Exactly that, yes. And yes, I think that's the best thing to do, give the B visa a try first and then at least you know. Good luck.
  26. appleblossom
    The first one, you haven't been instructed to schedule an interview, only to register it.
  27. appleblossom
    Do you really need a lawyer for that? It's a very simple form. But I have no idea who in Fragomen would be good for that I'm afraid, as we didn't file one. Maybe just contact them and they'll direct you to the right people?

    Step by step guide is on the official website too, as well as the VJ guide given above - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html That tells you everything you need to know including what docs will be required at each stage. Good luck.

    Ugh, these stupid memes. Can you not use words to put your point of view across instead? I left the last thread after ridiculous X posts were posted as if they were factual or accurate in any way at all. I have no idea about the first guy as I wasn't living in the US then so don't feel knowledgeable enough to comment on a case I heard very little about. But Alex Pretti wasn't 'starting a fight', he was filming, trying to help a woman that had been pushed over, and then put his hands up before being pepper sprayed. So the whole meme is laughable on that point alone.
