Canadian Child with father in USA - Child wants to move here
appleblossom replied to Incognito2025's topic in Canada
Consular processing is now your only option anyway. It would be better for you to petition your stepson as then he’ll be an immediate relative so it will be much quicker. If your husband did now then as said above it would be a F2A category application which takes longer (until your husband gets citizenship, but I’m guessing that would be at least a year away). Best of luck. -
Sounds like it, but double check it here - https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa
-
As I said above, there was no visa available to you until 2 weeks ago.
-
Your case won’t be in the UK until you have an interview scheduled. I can’t see your timeline, it’s still blank I’m afraid.
-
As above, sounds like you’re just expecting things to happen too quickly. It’s only been 2 weeks, not 60 days. You should hear soon.
-
P.S. please do fill in your timeline on your profile, to help other EB applicants. Thx.
-
What do you mean it doesn’t show anything? When you log in to CEAC what does it say? It sounds like you’re just expecting things to happen too early, as there was no visa available to you until 1st January your case wouldn’t have been added to the interview queue until then. But check your status and it will say when it’s in transit, hopefully you’ll get an IL in the next month. Good luck.
-
Unfortunately, nothing to do but wait it out. A verbal approval means nothing, just keep an eye on the status and hopefully it will change to ‘issued’ once AP is complete. Good luck.

Administrative Processing at the London Embassy

Please fill in the timeline on your VJ profile instead. A post will just get lost, your timeline will help many, many others going forward. Good luck and congrats! -
Case in transit for 8 weeks
appleblossom replied to Lala jenae's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
Family reunification with whom? What does your online case status say? -
What kind of visa, and what priority date? Please fill in your timeline on your profile and give more details of your case and hopefully somebody can help.

Case in transit for 8 weeks
appleblossom replied to Lala jenae's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
Transit from where to where? USCIS to NVC, or NVC to consulate? What kind of case is this? Please fill out the timeline on your profile and give a few more details and then hopefully somebody can help. -
Average cost of giving birth in the US would be far higher than visa costs though (https://www.forbes.com/advisor/health-insurance/how-much-does-it-cost-to-have-a-baby/), and if there were any complications that cost could skyrocket. If the OP has the financial means to do that then that would be a neat solution, but it doesn’t sound as though that is the case.
-
And just to add that if you don’t get your physical GC before June, it’s easy to get an ADIT stamp - which is basically the same as you’ve got now in your passport but just extends it for another year. It’s free and they usually just mail it to you. Good luck.
-
What age is permission no longer needed? If the OP’s youngest is 15 now then they could be 18 by the time they get a visa, or close to it (and could then delay things a bit if needed). Or is permission still needed up to 21?
-
Interestingly, I’ve just gone to check the backlog report and can’t find it. I know that they have been making good progress and the backlog recently reduced for the first time in a decade (it had been steadily growing up to that point). Most think that the backlog will grow with the new administration so I wonder if they’ve got rid of it for that reason, or perhaps they’ve just moved it from the usual page. Who knows!

Unemployment is very low in the US at the moment, but none of that is relevant anyway. It’s simply that demand outweighs supply, there are just a huge number of people in the queue ahead of you - https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Immigrant-Statistics/Immigrant Visa Control System_operation of.pdf
-
Ah. Yes, you do need original/certified copy docs for some things, although it’s DCF it’ll be the same document requirements as usual - 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 And in the meantime, if you haven’t already do start gathering the rest of the docs i.e. police certs etc. Best of luck.
-
If she’s graduating next year and you haven’t even started the process yet, then that is unlikely to be an issue - as said above the whole process takes 2 years as a (very) rough guide.
-
Montréal is the only consulate in Canada that does immigrant visas. Is the address your own or a friend/relatives? If it’s your own then it will help.
-
Those don’t show domicile, plenty of people have US bank accounts or relatives there but never set foot in the US. So you’ll need more than that, but have a hunt around the Canada sub forum for info on how to prove domicile to Montreals satisfaction. Best of luck.
-
Presumably not if she’s had to petition her other child?

Montreal embassy EB-2 interview wait time-Part 2
appleblossom replied to Blueeyes1989's topic in Canada
I meant your VJ timeline. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=472968 The sheet is fine, but nowhere near as useful as the VJ profile timeline which has more info and can then be used by everybody else too, not just participants in this thread. Oh, and I’m not a ‘Sir’. 😂 -
2023 case I-130

https://www.foia.gov/faq.html How did you become a USC? Any criminal record for either of you? -
2023 case I-130
appleblossom replied to yangshang0's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
And just to confirm you’re a US citizen and have been throughout the process - you weren’t a green card holder when you first applied? Did USCIS say why your case is ‘very complicated’? Might be worth doing a FOIA request to try and find out what’s been going on in the background that you’re not aware of.
