    It’s a year from the date of endorsement i.e. the date you enter the US on it.
  2. appleblossom
    Yep. To be safe you’d just need to make sure there is nothing obvious to disprove that i.e. that your contract doesn’t say your company will sponsor you for a GC on x date, or that you give up your Australian ties etc.

    You can’t send it until you’ve passed 90 days. But if you reach that point without the status changing then it’s here - https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/ndc Photo appointment was about 4 weeks, card was then in production the next day so maybe 6 weeks overall. Just checking, but you are aware that your endorsed visa acts as your green card for the first year? So there’s no urgency for the physical card?

    That’s great, but it’s the VJ timeline that is more useful, if you can fill that in (on your profile). Then it helps everybody on the forum, not just those who are aware of the sheet. Thanks!

    No, with dual intent visas you’re allowed to have immigrant intent when you enter.
  6. appleblossom
    OK, you asked about the process, which will vary depending on category, so there is no ‘typical path’. In an ideal world you’d go for another visa i.e. L. But yes, it’s possible, as long as the intent isn’t there when you enter on the NIV.
  7. appleblossom
    It would depend on the EB category - you’d need to find out from your employer (or more likely, their immigration lawyers) which category they intend to petition you for.
  8. appleblossom
    Yes, about that. https://ca.usembassy.gov/immigrant-visa-process/ Please also complete your timeline. It really is important that we all do so, there aren’t many of us EB applicants around so the more data we have the better. It helps everybody if we can all contribute, thanks.

    There probably aren’t many as the PD didn’t move. Should be more next month when it jumps forward again. Please fill in your timeline to help others, thanks.

    You do normally need to provide proof of of residence - "If your petition is being processed at the National Visa Center (NVC), contact the NVC to request the transfer. NVC will transfer cases to another IV processing post if parties provide a written request along with the address in the requested country and the proof of eligibility (citizenship/legal residency in the requested country or other documentation). This can be provided at https://nvc.state.gov/inquiry. In limited circumstances, NVC may need to contact you for additional eligibility requirements." So you can ask but I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

    At the moment, yes, because your PD is current for filing in F1 category. But when will your parent become a USC, how far along the process are they? All you can do is keep an eye on the VB and see which category is a better option when they naturalize.
  12. appleblossom
    Which forms did you include?

    Here’s one…...https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=456999

    Where are you now, are you in the US or overseas?

    But if she was a green card holder she could work and contribute financially! So it would soon pay for itself. He needs somebody to have a tough conversation with him and point out that his wife is at risk of being deported, and that it will cost him far more in the long run to fight that. Plus fees go up all the time, if he’d applied even a year ago it would have been much cheaper, now he’s got to pay more.
  16. appleblossom
    OK, so they need their own immigrant visas, but you only mention a I-130/case for your spouse?
  17. appleblossom
    He’ll have a lot more papers to file if she’s deported!
  18. appleblossom
    How odd. As @OldUser said, there’s no reason for him to not want her to become a legal resident, unless he likes keeping her dependent on him. He needs to understand that she’s at risk of being deported at any time, and with the current administration, that risk has substantially increased too. They need to sort it urgently.

    It didn’t turn up after 90 days so we submitted the form to say it hadn’t been received. They then mailed a notice to say she needed to have the photo done again.
  20. appleblossom
    Are they still married?
  21. appleblossom
    OK, hopefully won’t be too much longer until it changes to card being produced. If it gets to 90 days then you just file to report it as not received, and it’s usually something simple (that happened to my daughter, she had to have her photo redone and then it was produced). Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    Not needed for London though, so no point in paying for it IMO. I was all ready with photos of my kids with chickenpox spots on ready to show the doc (as none of us had it on our medical records), but wasn’t even asked. It was just ticked as not required automatically which seems to be the norm for the UK.
  23. appleblossom
    It’s whichever is the latest date, so in your case 71 days. But what does the online status say?
  24. appleblossom
    Varicella will be waived as it’s not given in the UK. It won’t slow your application if you have it done at the medical, myself and my family all had to have several jabs each which were done on the day. It’s not cheap though so if you can get them done via your GP instead ahead of it, that would save some cash. You can also get a titre test done to check for immunity, but I’d think that would delay things. Best of luck.
  25. appleblossom
    You need to check your status online using the receipt number from the fee, that’ll tell you when the card is being produced. But it can take up to 90 days so you’re still well within that timeframe.
