It's rare that AP would be that quick unless it was just for a missing documents, yours is more complicated than that from what you've said. And are those other cases from India?
-
The whole process is set out step by step here, which tells you everything you need to submit - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html Just in case you hadn't found that webpage yet, as I found it super useful. And make sure you look at the country specific documents too to make sure you get the right version of everything.

No, you won't get anything until the DQ email (or a RFE).
-
There are long running threads about AP so worth doing a search for them. But as you'll see from those, the length of time varies hugely (as above, 2 weeks to 2 years or even more), depending on the reasons for it and the country(ies) where the checks are being done. Some countries are known to take much longer as their records aren't great, others will be quicker at getting the info needed. But have a search and hopefully you'll find some relevant info on some of the AP threads.

Yes. It will tell you when it's being produced, then about a week to 10 days after that it will tell you it's being shipped, and give you the tracking number.
-
No way to track the SSN, but you can track the GC. Just use the same tracking page you've used all the way through, but use the receipt number from when you paid the GC fee this time instead - https://egov.uscis.gov HTH.
-
I don't believe you can just to pay a fee, but you've got a year before you need to worry about it anyway. How many digits is her A number?
-
Ah, ok - didn't see your other thread before but @powerpuff has kindly merged them. Are you doing this through your USCIS account, or your mothers? And just checking, but you're using her A number and DOS number, not yours?? How many digits in her A number?
-
What type of application and what stage are you at, is the immigrant already in the US? Have you tried using another browser?
-
Should be any day now, but you can track it using the receipt number from when you paid the IV fee if that helps - it'll tell you when it's been produced, then when it's been mailed and also give you the tracking number.
-
His interview letter will come via email, they don’t send it via mail anymore. And I suspect he may be back before his interview anyway if he’s only going for a few months.
-
Lots of people have. You can search the forum to find others’ experiences, but everybody is different - some people will only be in AP for 2 weeks, others for 2 years. Your case is updated because you’ve emailed them. As you’ve been told on your other threads you only have two choices - wait it out, or ask your company’s immi lawyers about filing a WOM.
-
When did you file the I-130? The good news is that London is one of the quickest consulates, and your wife could have her visa within approx 3-4 months of having the I-130 approved.
-
OK, then nothing to worry about. 2 weeks is just too early.
-
So you mean post office in your current/home country? Yes, you can do a change of address for forwarding with them, but that won't be relevant to your SSN or GC as neither will be delivered outside the US anyway. So for those you just need to give your new US address when you enter. I typed ours up on a piece of paper just to make sure it was correctly entered when I handed it to the border officer. The fee is for the green card production and delivery. Assume you've already paid it? If not, then note the price goes up next month.
-
You can just update your address with the immigration officer when you enter the US if it's changed, that's what we did - we'd put a hotel address on our DS-260 as we had no idea where we'd be living when we applied, then we updated it upon entry as by then we had a rental house to move to. Both came to our new address. Not sure what you mean by post office? You don't need to update anything with UPS.
-
Only 2 weeks ago? As long as tracking shows it was delivered then no need to worry yet.
-
The $220 fee has nothing to do with the SSN. Your SSN should be mailed to you within a couple of weeks of entering the US on the immigrant visa, assuming of course you selected that option on the DS-260. If not, then you'll need to go and get the SSN in person. The green card is usually mailed about a month after entry, but can take up to 90 days - you can track it using the receipt number from the GC fee.
-
Something like hiking the Appalachian Trail would be a good reason, but definitely not usual.
-
No chance of that. If you and the adoption meet the criteria set out in the link given to you above, then you can start the process but it's not going to happen within 9 months - by the end of next year is more realistic.
-
You can certainly use it again, but if you spent nearly a year in the US last time then I'd be prepared to be questioned upon entry. You may want to take proof of your savings to show that you don't need to work etc. Assume you're retired and that's how you can visit for so long without any income? So you may also want to take proof of that. Good luck.
-
You're a long way off being able to start the NVC process. As you can see from Table B on the current Visa Bulletin, only people who applied 16 years or more ago (before March 2008) are able to do that now. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-march-2024.html You're at least 20 years away, just keep an eye on the Visa Bulletin occasionally and see what's happening with it. Good luck.
-
That sounds to me like they have suspicions you want to use a non-immigrant visa to stay permanently or that the role isn't genuine. Hopefully whatever you supplied them with will overcome any doubts they have and all you can do is wait it out - I think too early for a WOM but that's an option if it goes on much longer, you could discuss with your company and see if they are prepared to pay for it to get you out there sooner. Good luck.

Which consulate? Please fill in your timeline.
-
Are you absolutely sure your PD is June 2022? What stage is your application at? It's really hard to help you work out what's going on if you don't fill in your timeline - plus there aren't many of us EB applicants around, so it's very helpful if everybody can fill them in to add to the body of knowledge on VJ.
