OK, so hopefully not too much longer. Good luck.

Offering to give it her would mean getting in touch with her. I disagree with your attorney completely, she should have changed her address with USCIS (it’s a legal requirement to do so) and if she hasn’t then tough luck on her. Just return to sender anything from USCIS, then USCIS know she’s moved without her telling them, and you don’t have to be in contact with her either, so a double advantage.

Phew! Definitely not accurate at all, just ignore it. Assuming you petitioned your sibling then that’s likely going to be years longer. Because there will be no visa available to him/her for decades, USCIS don’t rush to approve I-130’s for family members that aren’t immediate.

It can take up to 10 working days for it to be returned so no need to worry yet. What does your online status say? And what kind of visa?

Oh apologies, I forgot that bit, thought it was on the basis of her spousal application. But as said above, her TPS is going to be terminated soon anyway (July IRRC?).

Her EAD is only based on having a valid application in the works. Once that’s cancelled, her EAD is too.

Vent away, that’s what VJ is here for! Her EAD will be revoked anyway. The problem is that USCIS will confirm that in writing once they process the I-130 cancellation, but it will come to the address on file i.e. yours.

Yep, so predictable. @csh2020 I'm so glad you’re remaining strong, and so glad that you have a route to getting your life back now - at least now there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just because the pregnancy test is on her bed doesn’t meant it’s hers. And is probably just photoshopped anyway! But if the baby cannot be yours then it’s not relevant anyway regardless. Blocking her is a sensible idea, maybe with one last text to say ‘speak through my lawyer only, I won’t be responding further’ just so she knows it will be pointless to try and provoke you further. And normally I would say don’t bother with reporting her, but actually she’s been so calculating that I think it may be a good idea in this instance. You would usually need her address though and it doesn’t sound as though you have that.

They’re sent in order of DQ, but only if your PD is current, and yours isn’t. So you still have a way to go. Please fill in your timeline to ‘pay it forward’ and help other EB applicants, thx.

It *can* take 1-2 years, or even longer. That’s not to say every case will though of course, some are only weeks.

That’s great, congrats. But many others haven’t been so lucky, so @OldUser’s advice is good.

On your profile please! Thx.

You met and married while she was on her tourist visa? What sort of timeframe between the two?

Step 2 onwards - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html Please fill in your timeline, both to help others going forwards, but also so we can help you. For instance, the interview stage will vary depending on consulate, so if you fill your timeline in then we’ll know yours.

Did you get a lawyer as suggested above? It may be worth just getting one to check over your package (not a euphemism) so that you can be sure it won’t be rejected again.

You can see all of the cases on here, people are generally pretty much bang on the 17 months estimate, unless they receive an RFE. Honestly, forget Lawfully, it’s not a great resource. And 8 months for an interview at which consulate?

Do you mean the I-130? 20 months for that is unusual, it’s 17 months ish at the moment. It may be that he’s not a citizen, and has just misread your question. Or that he’s had an RFE that he hasn’t mentioned. Or that he’s got something in his background that needs more checking. Etc, etc. There really is no point in stressing yourself to this extent, or comparing your timeline to others. It will happen, have faith.

Just saw your edit - so what’s the panic? 20 months is pretty standard (actually about as quick as it gets), I thought you meant 20 months just for the interview!

Just to be clear, you didn’t send original docs? Makes it sound as though you did, but hoping you meant copies! Should be any day now, keep checking your online account as the approval notice often shows up there a day or two before you get an email.

Not sure where the post was, but it’s utter nonsense if anybody is saying they waited 20 months for IR1/CR1 interview letter from London! Stick with VJ, far more reliable. 😂

There’s no way somebody from the UK should wait for 20 months for an interview if they’re an immediate relative, it’s usually 2-3 months at most. And Barbados is a bit longer, but still nowhere near 4 years! Are you sure they’re for the same visa category, or for a different one with a wait for a PD to become current? Or perhaps they’re referring to Admin Processing rather the initial wait for an interview? If you can link to the posts we can hopefully put your mind at rest as it doesn’t sound as though they’ll be relevant to your process.

@DeCar0 and @AELMIK please both fill in your timelines (on your profiles). It’s really hard to help without that info, such as which consulate you’re applying via. Thx.

To be current it has to be before the date in Table A on the Visa Bulletin. So it’s not current now, but will be once April rolls around.

Not sure where you’ve read it was current a month ago? It’s not current until April. Once that happens you’ll be added to the line for an interview. It’s a long line in Ghana but it’s done by DQ date so I think you should get an interview this year.

We need more info to help. Which consulate, which visa category etc? Please fill out your timeline on your profile.
