They’ve already said the cut off will be 50K for Europe. So it will depend on how quickly you can be interviewed and if you can get granted a visa before the deadline - so which consulate? Some have longer waits than others. Good luck.

No, not after approving the I-130 petition, just from today. The I-130 petition could be approved tomorrow, or in several years, no way of knowing that. I'm surprised it hasn't been approved already if it was filed in 2013, are you sure it hasn't? Average processing time given is 4.5 years. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ But it's hugely helpful it it really has taken 10+ years to approve it if you are trying to qualify under CPSA. If you can give more details of ages/dates, then people can tell you if they think there's any chance under CPSA or not. Presumably you're a child of the sister?

Documentarily Complete after retrogression
appleblossom replied to theprogrammerguy's topic in Work Visas
I haven't seen August's VB yet, if it didn't retrogress then that's good (given they said it would in the July bulletin). So you'll still be in the queue, recently it seems to be a year from DQ to IL for EB applicants in Rio, hopefully you'll be ahead of older cases in the queue though. Fingers crossed. -
Lawyer taking forever to submit to NVC
appleblossom replied to Amandapaddy's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
If your I-130 was approved in April then you could have your visa by now! I’ve no idea why your lawyer hadn’t completed the NVC side of things already. Why not just do it yourself if she’s holding things up? If you’re not sure of the process then it’s all laid out step by step here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html And it’s really not complex, we had lawyers but did all of the NVC side of things ourselves to save time, and it was dead easy. -
I-130
appleblossom replied to Irfan Muhammad's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
There’s a step by step guide on the DoS website - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html -
I 601 Expedite
appleblossom replied to Ra2023's topic in Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)
Yes, but it's a goal of 10 days for those that are eligible for expedites. It doesn't seem that you are as there is no hardship to a USC so no grounds for an expedite. If they respond (they may not, as it's nothing to do with a USC), then it wouldn't be quick as you'll be in the queue behind those who are eligible for an expedite and who need urgent action taking on their case. But all you can do is wait and see if they do respond, and if you somehow get lucky and they grant it. But personally I'd be looking at a Plan B i.e. reentry permit. Good luck. -
F11 interview appointment
appleblossom replied to Jay fik's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
It’s done by DQ date for those eligible to receive visas, not PD. So what is your DQ date, and PD? Please do fill in your timeline, thx. -
I 601 Expedite
appleblossom replied to Ra2023's topic in Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)
Your first post says 30 calendar days, it hasn’t been that yet from what you’ve said? -
Ghana: IR1 visa interview update
appleblossom replied to Ama_Cee's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Please put this on your VJ timeline (on your profile). That way it helps others searching for Ghana timelines. Thx. -
Are you sure the interview letter didn't tell you to follow the steps below? It should have done. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/WRW-Warsaw.html Glad your parents got it sorted though, hope they get their visas back soon.

Waiting for NVC to respond to my CSPA request
appleblossom replied to Allieto's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
OP doesn't say they did contact them, sounds like just a message on their account. But to contact NVC, head here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html And if you have questions about CPSA eligibility, start your own thread in the relevant forum and somebody will be able to help. -
Our Case Migrated to ELIS
appleblossom replied to Jedi JayR's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
Maybe another decade as a rough guess? All you can do is watch the Visa Bulletin and see what happens though. -
Administrative Processing at the London Embassy
appleblossom replied to Moda25's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Just to clarify, everybody is put in to AP whilst final checks are done. But for most it’s very brief - my status was AP for just a couple of hours before it changed to issued.
