    No problem. Are you heading back to the US ahead of him?
  2. appleblossom
    You can see NVC processing times here for how long it will take you to be DQ'ed. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html It's updated every Monday. As for the green card, that will depend on when your husband enters the US. Allow up to 90 days from when he enters to receive it, but most people get it in about 6 weeks.

    If having the funds in the UK would be an issue, why can't you just transfer the savings from the UK bank to her US one?

    Your profile says you're EB1 and from India, is that right? If so, your PD isn't current yet and the EB1 quota was reached a while back so there are no visas left for this year.

    If things go smoothly, she'd only need a couple of weeks there - medical, interview and then get passport back with immigrant visa in it (which is usually about a week after interview). Of course, there's no guarantee it will go smoothly, and if she's put in AP then it could be a lot longer before she gets her passport back. No way of knowing in advance though.

    It is important that you find out her Priority Date though, as well as how long the I-130 took to be approved, and which consulate they'll be interview at. There's a risk she'll age out if she's 20 already.
  7. appleblossom
    Unlikely, if they only applied at the end of last year. It's about 12-14 months for most I-130's to be approved.
  8. appleblossom
    What's your actual Priority Date? i.e. when the I-130 was submitted? And which country was the beneficiary born in?
  9. appleblossom
    So CEAC says it's been returned to NVC, but USCIS are saying it's been sent back to the consulate? That's really odd. Being returned to NVC wouldn't be good at all, so hopefully USCIS are right!

    Ah, I see. I'd definitely advise keeping your UK number, I need mine regularly and it's not a huge cost if you do a SIM only deal once your contract ends.
  11. appleblossom
    As above, it will depend on your contract, each provider is different. But will you have anything where a UK mobile number may still be useful? I moved just over a year ago and I still have my UK number, and need it regularly for things like security codes from my bank or HMRC. If you'll have the same then I wouldn't cancel the contract, I'd just switch to a SIM only deal once it runs out and turn down the data amount so you don't pay very much. Mine is something like £3 a month but is very useful, and I just have both lines on my phone, one US and one UK.
  12. appleblossom
    Absolutely. @usman104, all we do is look it up when you ask anyway, you could easily do that yourself. If you don't understand the VB or how it works, then do ask and somebody will be able to help.
  13. appleblossom
    That's not good. Does your CEAC status say that the case was returned to NVC?
  14. appleblossom
    Yes, because your case may have been moved. And if you've never had any acknowledgement of the divorce decree I'd question if it was ever received or not. Have you phoned to check?
  15. appleblossom
    It means somebody has done something. It could mean they're about to issue your visa, but could also mean somebody has just added your SAR to the file and it's still waiting to be looked at. No way of knowing unfortunately, just keep an eye on your status and keep fingers crossed for the magic words of 'approved' or 'issued' to pop up. Good luck.
  16. appleblossom
    That’s perfectly normal. As per the USCIS processing times page “USCIS Service Centers prioritize the adjudication of Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, preference petitions when the Department of State Visa Bulletin shows an immigrant visa is available or will soon become available.” You can check your enquiry date though on the same page (I.e. the first day you’ll allowed to chase it up). I suspect for F3 category that’s still many years away but if you think you should have been moved to F1 then you can probably do that now. Put your PD in (at the bottom of the page) and see what it says). https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Just checking, but how did your mother inform USCIS of your change in marital status? Have you submitted the divorce degree in your online account?
  17. appleblossom
    Please take the time to read the responses you’ve been given previously when you’ve asked this question. You need to check the Visa Bulletin regularly, but there’s still many years to go
  18. appleblossom
    If your PD is 2016 then there’s no visa available to you now anyway. What category does your online case status show?
  19. appleblossom
    Hi, you've replied to two really old posts so the people you've quoted aren't likely to see your comment. Did you have any questions anybody can help with? When did you pay your green card fee? And what does your online status say?
  20. appleblossom
    So you just take the updated ones to the interview, no need to upload them.
  21. appleblossom
    Definitely file for FOIA to find out what's going on, but as said above, she absolutely can work, or study. If an employer isn't prepared to hire her without a green card then they're breaking the law. They have to accept her EAD as evidence of her right to work so you just need to educate them.
  22. appleblossom
    What documents do you want to update? You'd normally just take them to the interview, NVC has nothing to do with it once the case has been transferred to the consulate.
  23. appleblossom
    What is your home country? Where are you now?
  24. appleblossom
    If a doctor really says she is unable to travel (although I'd question why if she's just pregnant, and doesn't have any pregnancy related medical issues?), then she could file to adjust status as that would give you a perfectly good reason to. But it would have to be spontaneous and not a pre-conceived plan, so I wouldn't research it too much as that could come back to bite you. Make sure she doesn't give anything up and keeps all her UK ties when she comes to visit.

    Thank you. 🙂
