    Exactly when in 2020? Sounds like she wasn't eligible to apply. If (for example) she left the US from February 2020 to October 2020, then she's presumed to have broken residence, and it can be overcome but will be tricky. Really she should have waited until 5 years from when she returned to the US. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3

    He can just say he wants to withdraw. But as @Crazy Cat says, I wouldn't pull it unless there's a very good reason. They can leave it at NVC for years if they're no longer sure they want to move, but that would be better than revoking the I-130 and then having to pay another set of fees and start from scratch if things change again.

    That doesn't sound to me as though you can show that the US is your permanent home, and you'd be risking losing your LPR status. I'd absolutely get the re-entry permit.
  15. appleblossom
    Exactly how long was she out of the US for? And did she file under the 3 year or 5 year provision?

    No, and I agree that people can be a little too politically correct sometimes and take offence at things that don't warrant it. But that was blatantly racist and shouldn't be defendable. What's even worse was the length of time it took them to realise the outcry and remove it, and that nobody has apologised for it either.

    It’s not just yourself and who you’re petitioning, this link has details of who you need to include. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/i-864-affidavit-faqs.html#aos6 Looks as though your spouse petitioned parents fairly recently? So they need to be included too. When does your NIV expire? Remember that being married to a USC doesn’t confer any right to stay in the US on its own, and it’ll take a while to get your green card, so do file in plenty of time. Also, if you started completing the forms a few months ago do check none of them have been updated since then. Good luck.

    EB applicants can't upload, so you can ignore that instruction and just take them with you. Is Nigeria your only citizenship or are you a Canadian citizen as well? If the former you might want to postpone your interview unless you're happy to pay for another set of medicals? As there are four of you it'll be pretty pricey if they expire and you have to redo them when the ban is lifted.

    Follow the step by step instructions here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html Good luck.

    Definitely, start gathering the docs listed now so that they can be DQ’ed as quickly as possible. I know they’ll have a long wait for an interview but get them in line for it asap (and hopefully by then the ban will have been lifted too). Good luck.

    As said above, it varies. But hopefully not too much longer for the I-130, then the second part of the process can start.

    It would depend on so many factors. My children are both at university overseas and they go backwards and forwards every few months (spending approx 7 months outside the US each year), they have both been taken in to secondary when entering. But as soon as they can prove they're only outside the US for educational purposes and that their only home is in the US, their parents are here, their jobs are here, they pay taxes here, etc, they are waved through instantly. There's no set '6 months or more' that will flag, just a regular pattern of travel can do it too. If you're questioned, it sounds like you don't have a home in the US anymore? So what other ties do you have to show you are still LPR's other than occasional work responsibilities?

    Can't help with the conflicting instructions, but for an exact size photo you can just take one on your phone and then use a website or app to get it the right size, and print it at home.

    Sorry to hear this. You can change your profile by going to your profile and editing it. You can then ask any questions about the B visa for your friend in the Tourist Visa forum. Good luck.
  34. appleblossom
    Exactly what stage of the application are you at? What letter did you receive and what’s the Priority Date?
  35. appleblossom
    I totally get that. Best of luck to you.
