    What's happened in the past isn't really relevant, and you can't assume the same will happen again. There may be no more mass expedites at all (certainly, that seems to be the case judging from emails people are being sent, as above), or even if there are they are unlikely to be in the exact same months as the previous year.

    Not sure why the 'sighs' was needed to somebody that was just trying to help and give you a heads up on what will be required. That is directly related to the immigration process, what happens in the country you're applying is isn't relevant to US immigration law. If USCIS requires a custody order and/or permission from the father to remove the child from the country, then that will be required no matter what the customs of the home country are.

    Have you been DQ’ed yet? It’s about a year from then according to recent posts -

    Their A number is on the visa. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-immigrant-fee/immigrant-fee-payment-tips-on-finding-your-a-number-and-dos-case-id They can pay it after entering the US by the way, it just won’t be produced and sent until they’ve done so.

    Says to allow up to a week. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-3-pay-fees.html

    You said above that tracking says it took a week, so doesn't that mean you know it got there? Definitely don't send another if you know it has been delivered.

    That's not relevant to your sister-in-law, as she cannot adjust status. It's Table A on the Visa Bulletin that you need to look at, it's released monthly so you can keep an eye on it and see if the date moves, but as said above, it's going to be decades before she's eligible for a visa anyway. So best to just file asap and then forget about it for a while. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-february-2024.html

    It's nothing to do with the consulate, it's your sister-in-law's country of birth that is relevant to the Visa Bulletin/PD. AFAIK (I'm sure somebody else will correct me if I'm wrong), cross-chargeability would only apply to her spouse's country of birth, she can't use her parents. Only derivatives can use their parents country, so she'll come under the Mexico column unless she has a spouse born elsewhere.
  9. appleblossom
    Ignore the above, I edited it, thought it was a spouse visa case.
  10. appleblossom
    Sound like it may just be too early, so nothing to do but wait. You can search the forums to see if you can schedule your own interview before hearing from the consulate, or if you do need to wait. Good luck.
  11. appleblossom
    No. If you’ve aged out then there is no visa available to you. If you still want to move you’ll have to wait for your parent(s) to get their green card and then petition for you.
  12. appleblossom
    I doubt that long, but certainly longer than 2 days. They probably haven't even seen it yet, it'll be waiting for somebody to look at it, I'd give it a month before chasing it up.
  13. appleblossom
    You say you've called, sent emails and written letters but who to? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#ivp6
  14. appleblossom
    The 1st Feb was only two working days ago, you need to give it a lot longer before worrying.
  15. appleblossom
    I'd suggest you ask for this to be moved to the India sub forum. Posting it in the section for green card holders sponsoring family (presumably you're a citizen, not a LPR?) probably isn't going to get it seen by the right people. Also, for future ref, if you use the 'quote' function then whoever you're responding to will get a notification of your post. HTH.
  16. appleblossom
    It's because he indicated both on the form, so they've given both options. But as above, if she's outside of the US, the only possible option is consular processing, so the I-824 needs filing asap.
  17. appleblossom
    As said by others above, if they're outside the US, then I-485 is NOT an option. That would be immigration fraud. As for why it would add time, it's because it's unfortunately added an unnecessary step to the process. How long it takes will depend on which service centre it's sent to - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
  18. appleblossom
    I gave you a link to a relevant thread above - as said on my previous response it seems to be about 5-6 months from DQ to IL so hopefully you'll hear something in the summer. But just asking again, is your PD correct, 13-14 years ago?? Or was that a typo?
  19. appleblossom
    That's something to take up with your courier company, if you sent it via a priority service and it took a week you should be entitled to a refund.
  20. appleblossom
    Assuming the friend's spouse is outside the US then he needs to complete I-824 as said above. Unfortunately this will add quite a bit of time to the process.
  21. appleblossom
    Certainly not yet if she was only DQ'ed a week ago. It won't be transferred until she's due for an interview, so a while to go yet.
  22. appleblossom
    I'm sorry to hear it's been so tough for you. Worth noting though, that the 14 months quoted by USCIS is only for the I-130 part of the process, not the whole thing. I think filing WOM only a couple of months after interview may be premature and be an easy reason for it to be dismissed unfortunately, but I wish you the best of luck and hope you get an answer soon.
  23. appleblossom
    Me? Unusually for EB1 I did, I was transferred on an expat assignment with my current company. It wasn't relevant to my immigrant visa process though, as EB1 doesn't require a job offer and we provided no evidence of it.
  24. appleblossom
    OK, so not a K1 then, this has been posted in the wrong section. Please just provide more info if you want help, we'll all try and help you but it's hard when we don't know what you're applying for, what your husband's status is, what the dates are etc. Sounds like your husband isn't eligible to adjust status? Are you a green card holder and what is your Priority Date?
  25. appleblossom
    27/07/23 - the EB1/EB2 thread has a table of dates in for all of the people who've participated in it so always worth checking there (or on people's timelines). Although with the usual caveat of timelines can vary hugely, so don't assume yours will be the same! https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/798397-only-eb1eb2-update-on-nvc-dq-il/?do=findComment&comment=10945692 HTH.
