    2021 or 2024? There’s a big difference.

    Your timeline says your i-130 was approved in Oct so presumably you were DQ’ed by mid November ish? So you should be expecting an IL any day now, you’ll probably have the interview before you hear back from any expedite request anyway.

    No problem and of course you were. It's honestly not as scary as you might think, and now you've found VJ you've got a supportive helpful community behind you. Have a look at the list above and then feel free to ask any further questions and somebody will always try and help.

    Why do you think she needs to be in the US for at least 6 months before she can apply? She could apply from anywhere, but if you can't meet the financial requirements then yes, she'll have to go ahead and try and find a job. But she doesn't need to work in that job for 6 months before you apply. And her not being in the US since she was young isn't really a complicating factor, plenty of people apply that are USC's but have never even set foot in the US. Has she been filing her taxes? That is the only possible complication. If you want to marry before she goes then K-1 isn't an option (you have to marry in the US for that). And it sounds to me as though CR-1 may be better anyway if money is an issue, as it will be cheaper and also mean you can start earning as soon as you get to the US. I'm going to tag forum member @Crazy Cat who has a fabulous comparison list which should help though. Best of luck.

    If you don't want to file until she's been in the US for ~6 months and you want to marry 10-15 days before she leaves, K-1 isn't an option anyway. So that's the decision made for you! You shouldn't need a lawyer unless you have complicated circumstances. VJ is a DIY site, plenty of people here will help you with any questions. And only you would need to be interviewed. HTH, good luck.

    They don't update anything until they look at it, and then it will only be a decision or an RFE. There's no status change to expect between you applying and that point.
  27. appleblossom
    Approx 15-16 months for immediate relatives. But non immediate relatives take much longer, USCIS don't rush to adjudicate them as they know there is a long time until there would be a visa anyway.

    A copy will be fine. Make sure you take proof of value and proof of it being a second home/investment property as well. Lots have, but it will depend on circumstances. Best of luck.

    I'm sorry, I don't have a link to hand, you'll just have to search for it. You can inform the consulate, it's probably worth a try.

    TAL and Pakistan will be the reason, but 2 years is a very long time. It's crazy as you couldn't adjust status anyway through your brother, and would be several decades away from a visa via him. You can file WOM yourself, there is a guide on here that you can use by a lovely forum member that's done it themselves and helps others - have a hunt and hopefully you'll find it. You can try ESTA, might want to give that a go first, but you will have to declare the previous denial.
  31. appleblossom
    I-130 approval could be a decade away though, certainly at least a few years. Which is why you should submit the I-130 stating that the DOB is to the best of your knowledge, then do the FOIA asap as well. You can then update as needed. Good luck.

    Will be interesting to see how many people apply for this, I can't imagine many will when they could do EB-5 instead (also a super quick process) and potentially get their money back.
  33. appleblossom
    I wouldn’t be surprised if they did. They’re already asking that people applying for visas set all their social media profiles to ‘public’. There’s no way I’d do that.
  34. appleblossom
    That doesn’t make any sense. If they were included as derivatives and were eligible they’d have got visas. But to help please answer the questions above - which dates (PD, approval date of the I-130, birth dates of the children in question)?
  35. appleblossom
    No, that won’t be the reason. Sounds like you’re just in Admin Processing (background checks), perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. What kind of visa?
