    When you say ‘specifically Covid-19’, does that mean others vaccines have been administered? If so a waiver is very unlikely to be granted.
  2. appleblossom
    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.

    I'm not sure it will make much difference tbh, even now they know you're very unlikely to be a derivative beneficiary. All you can do is apply and see what happens. Good luck.

    Far longer than yours. As I said above, the average processing time for the I-130 is 4.5 years, so there would normally be 15 years or so between the I-130 being approved and a visa becoming available. Are you married?
  5. appleblossom
    Yes, exactly. Given the average is 4.5 years and it's already been double that, I think it's very unlikely it'll take that long to be approved. But you never know. Are you married?

    So you were 20 when the petition was filed? I can't see any way you'd not age out then tbh. What does the online case status say?
  7. appleblossom
    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?

    Which country? If it's not Mexico or the Philippines then another decade or so to go as a rough guess - longer if from either of those two countries.

    IR-5.

    They need to go by Table B on the bulletin for when they can submit. How old are the kids now?
  11. appleblossom
    Sounds like you've already got the interview scheduled and are just trying to register? So you would just use the one case number, as you should all be under that case together anyway. Good luck.

    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.
  13. appleblossom
    OK, very recently then. I'd search the forum to find others timelines which may give you an idea of how long she's likely to have to wait.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Check as often as you can but also check VJ several times a day for threads like this one from a few days ago….. Good luck.
  18. appleblossom
    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.
  19. appleblossom
    Your first post says 30 calendar days, it hasn’t been that yet from what you’ve said?
  20. appleblossom
    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.

    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.
  24. appleblossom
    Maybe another decade as a rough guess? All you can do is watch the Visa Bulletin and see what happens though.
  25. appleblossom
    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.
