Interview waiver for tourist visa applicants
appleblossom replied to EternalForeigner's topic in Tourist Visas
There's no part of it that asks, it will be determined based on the answers you give and if you're deemed eligible you'll be told instantly via email. My interview for a non-immigrant visa was waived last year as I met all the criteria and was applying from the UK (having never lived anywhere else). -
Type it backwards? So for example, if somebody's name was EMMA, and when inputting that it changed it to AMME, I'd just type it in backwards so it read correctly. But I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure it's perfectly common with Arabic and other right to left languages.

Ah perfect. Some people don't like the idea of not being able to leave if there was an emergency in their home country. As long as she definitely didn't intend to stay when she entered the US (i.e. hasn't given up a home in the UK, shipped her possessions etc) then she should be good to go, and you can apply before her ESTA expires. Good luck.

Montreal embassy EB-2 interview wait time-Part 2
appleblossom replied to Blueeyes1989's topic in Canada
You've not filled in your timeline so it's hard to tell, but are you sure your son will still be eligible as your dependent if he's over 21 already? Was your petition done under premium processing? -
I-824 sent to potomac service center
appleblossom replied to marcdonn's topic in USCIS Service Centers
Oh that's awful, bad enough to have a delay but it's terrible that is isn't even needed. So you left question 61 blank and filled in question 62? Definitely an error on USCIS's part then and you shouldn't be penalised for that. Potomac is quicker than other service centres but is still 16 months or so unfortunately. I really hope somebody can help you get it pushed through sooner if it was USCIS's mistake. Is there any way of making a formal complaint maybe to try and get somebody to sit up and notice? Best of luck to you. -
Not having insurance long long time ago
appleblossom replied to aa1979's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
If this is the petitioner, then it won't have any impact at all then. -
I'd just type it in instead of copying and pasting.

Not having insurance long long time ago
appleblossom replied to aa1979's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Which country was this in? Some countries would treat driving without insurance as a criminal offence and then yes, it absolutely must be mentioned. -
I think you’ve been told a load of nonsense by a call handler tbh. As @SalishSea said, your whole file must have been sent to the consulate otherwise an interview wouldn’t have been scheduled. And you know the reason they’re doing AP - if they didn’t have all the data from your petition they’d have asked other questions.

Green card and I-131.
appleblossom replied to JackDp's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
They are permanent residents of the US and are therefore expected to live there permanently to maintain that status. It sounds like they have never actually lived there in 6 years of holding green cards? They got off lightly IMO, sounds like the border officer was very lenient with them. What ties can they show to the US? Address, utility bills, bank accounts etc? Have they been filing their tax returns every year? If your parent don’t intend to live in the US anytime soon, it may be easier for them to relinquish their GC’s and for you to sponsor them again when they are ready to move and to make the US their permanent home. -
ds 260 civil docs question
appleblossom replied to Kyle6811's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You won't be documentarily qualified until you submit all the required docs. You'll still need to take the original cert to the interview though. -
OK, that's odd, as NA3 isn't mentioned in the exemption list (https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-immigrant-fee#Who_Pays_the_Fee). But if your son didn't pay it then I guess not, so I'd suggest you report it as non-received then - https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDCForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=ndc When did you leave the US, are you sure it hasn't been delivered in your absence? Do you have somebody opening your mail?
-
Previous processing times aren't really relevant. Currently it's at 17 months, so yes, you're well within normal processing times at the moment. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Just checking, you did file before you left the US? As for your daughter, her GC should have arrived within 90 days if you definitely paid the GC fee? What does the online status say for it?

Special Case
appleblossom replied to CJlove's topic in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits
Why will she need her passport for AR-11? She’ll need her A number but says above they have a copy of her passport which hopefully includes a copy of her visa. OP, which country is her passport from? -
The delay in sending the case to NVC will have made no difference as there's still a long wait ahead either way. But as you can see from the Visa Bulletin, married children of citizens cases are currently ahead of sibling cases by just over 18 months, so it may knock a bit of time off if your mother petitions for her too. You can both apply and then just wait to see whose petition gets to the front of the line first.
