But what kind of visa are you applying for? If it's spousal then those documents aren't usually needed so it looks like they're doing extra background checks. If it's a visa where you're a dependent on your parents visa application and those documents were to be expected then that's different.

Just to set expectations for @Sah006, it's usually a short processing time if it's just a missing original doc that they've already seen via CEAC or something like that. But if it's 'proper' admin processing with more detailed background checks it can take a lot longer, even a year or more. It's not clear which visa route @Sah006 is going down (please do fill in your timelines people!), so not sure if the documents relating to his/her family members are for extra background checks though, or just documents that should have been provided and were missing.

"A few months" seems to say she doesn't have a job - which may reduce her chances. It's the same process as you did with your Dad. Was his visa granted? If so and he has has abided by the terms of his visa, that will help your sister.
-
Well it's not like you can put any other address! Why would there be an issue though, if you're permitted to do it in your own home then that's fine.
-
Yes, then of course, just put the actual address you did get married at.
-
Are you asking about this for a visa application? If so, which one?
-
It seems the OP has already tried that judging from their other thread, and it was refused unfortunately. Not sure if they've tried requesting an expedite though.
-
True, maybe I'm just looking at it from a mother's point of view! I would want to be the one to go personally rather than stay without my very young son in a new country.
-
Have you already tried for an expedite? If so, and it's been refused, then personally I'd suggest your wife applies for a re-entry permit so she can at least be with her son whilst you wait. And you can then try for another expedite with NVC when the I-130 is approved too. Best of luck to you.
-
As per Family's post and your previous thread, that's only if the child was born after your wife's visa was issued.
-
No he doesn't! Get that application in asap. I think you're worrying unnecessarily personally, best of luck.
-
There was, but it's water under the bridge now. The embassy doesn't have anything to do with your son's case yet, it's still at USCIS, so it's them you need to contact to ask for an expedite now. Good luck.
-
If they say they're aware of the problem and working on it then there's not a lot you can do other than wait for them to sort it really. But have you tried other browsers? And clearing your cache? That may help, good luck.

Montreal used to be a LOT longer than 6 months to give an appointment! It was a year plus but has sped up hugely recently. It's not done on the date you applied though, you can see the current wait time/scheduling on this page - https://ca.usembassy.gov/immigrant-visa-process/ Good luck.
-
No, because they want to see originals at the interview stage anyway. If you only submitted the doc a week ago then they just need time to get to it and look at it. If your case was updated on 15th December then that is a good sign, that's probably when they received it. Best of luck.

The tax returns make sense now. But not the police certs, that should have been supplied as per the link I gave you above. They’re required for all immigrant visa applicants, no matter what category.
-
Right, makes more sense now. Please fill in your timeline to avoid future confusion too, thx. And good luck.
-
UK. Please look at my timeline - and please fill yours out to help others, thx.
-
That’s EB1-C, not EB1-A. Hence the confusion, you’ve said you’re applying under EB1-A which doesn’t require tax returns. So which is it?
-
As long as that wasn’t one of the criteria you used to apply that won’t be an issue though. It’s only if that was one of your three qualifying criteria that it would be a problem. So they’re presumably just doing deeper background checks.
-
I’m guessing Manila - the country specific guidelines for the Philippines mention a blue NBI cert being required. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Philippines.html
-
Where does it show they require tax returns for EB1A? I certainly didn’t provide them! Sounds like they doubt your employment history, or possibly your high earnings if that was one of the criteria you used to qualify for the visa? But hopefully now they have them they can easily check that.
-
I would do. At some point somebody should realise you never submitted the police certs that you should have done. Tax returns is a very odd request for an EB1. Have you ever worked in the US?
-
Too late for you now but just for the sake of anybody else reading in the future it would have been a much better idea for your wife to have slowed down her own application so that your sons could catch up and they could have moved together. As @Dashinka said you can request an expedite, worth a try. Just ignore the utterly useless ‘My Progress’ thing, it’s inaccurate. If you only applied in April 2024 then his I-130 should be approved around July 2025 (unless the new administration causes longer processing times). Then the next step will depend on the consulate and how long the wait for an interview is, but you can ask again for an expedite when he’s at the NVC stage. Good luck.
-
That makes no difference, he’s applying for his own immigrant visa so still needed to supply all police certs as per the document checklist. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MTL-Montreal.html#pre_interview_checklist The only reason a Nigerian one wouldn’t be needed is if he left Nigeria before he reached 6 months of age. So if he should have supplied one then personally I’d be getting it in preparation (yours too) as at some point somebody may ask for them and you don’t want to add to the wait. Did you not provide them for NVC? I’m amazed nobody noticed them missing then and you were DQ’ed without them.
