    But as per the link - the certificate is valid indefinitely if they haven't lived there for at least 6 months since it was issued.

    Your concern isn't clear. We don't know if you (or whoever is being interviewed) has returned to the Philippines and resided there for 6 months or more or not since you got the certificate. If they haven't, then it's still valid regardless of the date of it, as per that answer. And if they have, then yes, you'll need another one unless you by any chance get an interview just before it expires.

    Third question down - 'What is the validity period of a police certificate?'.

    Is this for an interview in London? If so…...https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visa-faqs/visa-processing-and-documents/

    I think it's just proportionate to the amount of interviews done for each category. If you look at the monthly visa stats you'll see that there are very few family based visas (non immediate relative) issued each month compared to other categories so presumably a lot less interviews too.

    I'd say no chance at all of it reaching Feb 2021 in the April bulletin - that would be a jump of 10 months! Given the amount of retrogression over the past year, I can't see it moving that far personally.

    It depends on the consulate. And the wait for an interview varies hugely depending on the consulate too - some have waits of only a couple of months, some are a couple of years.

    They shouldn't be laminated. You may find he's asked to get another copy and submit that.

    The OP hasn’t been on the forum for 6 months.

    What’s your Priority Date? It would be great if you could fill in your timeline. Not many of us EB applicants around, so every timeline is hugely helpful. Assuming it’s current, then you need to count from when your PD became current, not from your DQ date - you’re not added to the queue for an interview until a visa becomes available to you. So you were added to the queue last month, and I’d expect you to get an IL in this months batch. Good luck.

    So you have a joint sponsor?

    If they're in English, no need for any translation - as it says, it's only if the document is in a foreign (i.e. non English) language.
  13. appleblossom
    Why did you not file?
  14. appleblossom
    OK, so their PD's aren't quite current yet. On this month's Visa Bulletin the date for F2A is 8th Feb 2020. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-february-2024.html However, next month their PD's become current (see link above from @JeanneAdil), so then a visa will become available to them and they'll be added to the queue for an interview.

    Priority Date. Basically the date you submitted the I-130. Also, how old are the children?
  16. appleblossom
    Lagos has a big backlog, it's 18 months to 2 years from DQ to interview date I believe. Is your PD current? If it is then hopefully it won't be too much longer.
  17. appleblossom
    Yes, afraid so, unfortunately your I-130 being approved so quickly did you no favours.

    If you can't get married before June 2025 and want to be together asap after that, then for once I think the K1 is a better option. If you need to wait until then to get married and then start the CR1 process, you won't be together until 2027.

    You can see @dolibash's PD on his timeline - click on it below his username for details. HTH.

    You’ve not actually said but I assume you’re a USC? And where are you both now (not clear where ‘we arrived’ was to)?
  21. appleblossom
    Sounds like the 88 days started when you were issued the RFE initially on 20th November - i.e. a deadline of 16th February, which would then match up with you receiving the refusal on 20th February. Did the RFE you received in December specifically give you the March date?
  22. appleblossom
    Ah, I see! That makes much more sense now, I thought something was really wrong if it had taken you nearly 4.5 years to get to this point. 😂
  23. appleblossom
    Some consulates publish the info (example, Montreal - https://ca.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulates/consular-operations-updates/) Or you can search VJ for timelines and/or threads. But each consulate can change which cases they prioritise each month, and may have months where other types of applications have to take priority (i.e. August is always much busier for student visas so resources can be taken away from IV processing), and factors like staff shortages will have an impact too. So it’s much more fluid than the USCIS or NVC steps in the process.
  24. appleblossom
    If you only applied in March, you're still well within average processing times - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

    It will depend on which consulate, you usually have to schedule the interview and medical yourself, but if you can give info on which consulate you're asking about, people can advise you.
