    What kind of visa?
  2. appleblossom
    When did you pay the fee? It’s up to 90 days from entry or fee payment, whichever was later. So you’re still well within the quoted time. And what does your online status say for it?
  3. appleblossom
    What does the tracking say? As said above, the endorsed visa does everything the plastic GC does, they don’t need the physical card.
  4. appleblossom
    Presumably not the person that told you not to file the AR-11 then? Because whoever that was is most certainly NOT ‘super competent’! As @OldUser said, that’s a deportable offence, also punishable by imprisonment or a fine. You need to file that asap.

    Why would she even want to? It doesn’t give them any right to stay, and will cost them a small fortune for her to give birth in the US (potentially a large fortune if there are any complications). It also means their poor child is subject to US taxes for the rest of their life without making that choice, and if a boy, has to register for selective service too.

    That’s what I meant - I’m a Brit! Just made me realise that the American spelling seems normal to me now after nearly 2 years (although it probably helps that I hadn’t used a cheque in the UK for about 15 years….be prepared to travel back in time in terms of banking, it’s like 1998 here 😂).
  7. appleblossom
    Your bank should be able to tell you. But if you know it’s been received then that’s good, the clock has started ticking. P.S. It seems I’ve now been in the US for long enough for ‘cheque’ to look wrong to me. 😂

    Only if that’s the main reason for the visit and long term, then yes, as that is not consistent with a tourist visa. If it’s a couple of days looking after a parent if they come down with something after one arrives, then that’s different. Essentially, if it is a job that an American could be paid to do i.e. providing full-time care for an aging parent, or full-time child care for a grandchild whilst the parents work, then immigration are likely to take a dim view of that.

    Yes, EB1A doesn’t need a job offer, it’s self petitioned. EB1C is different as it’s employer based.

    Which consulate? Please fill in your timeline. You could have an interview in May. But yes, should be ok depending on when you were last in the US?
  11. appleblossom
    Yes, mailing only. Your letter should tell you to mail it and have the address to send the docs to. And no, no AoS required. Most of that isn’t relevant to EB applicants. You’ll need a recent job offer letter from your employer at interview stage. PLEASE fill in your timeline! This forum only works if we all take the time to contribute, filling in your timeline is an easy way to help others going forwards and to thank those that have helped you in the past too.

    😳 I did read it carefully and simply provided the wording to the OP that they seemed to have missed. I gave them the info about certificates, and it’s up to them what they need to provide from that.
  13. appleblossom
    If she said she was taking care of her Mom, that would be the evidence. She cannot do that as a visitor. I suspect that’s what happened. But in any event, she has no right to enter as a visitor and can be refused without evidence. You still haven’t said if her immigrant visa has actually been denied, or refused (i.e. is in AP)?
  14. appleblossom
    Just checking, but you submitted two applications, one for each parent? Is this showing on each of them, or just one? Sounds like something is missing or incorrect. So what documents exactly have you submitted, have you got a screenshot of that section?
  15. appleblossom
    That bit is for the applicant. But scroll down the page and there is a ‘petitioners documents’ section, and under that it says "If you are applying for an IR1, CR1, or F2A visa as the spouse of a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident and your petitioning spouse was previously married: You must obtain evidence of the termination of EVERY prior marriage your petitioning spouse has had. This evidence must be an original or certified copy of one of the following documents: FINAL legal divorce decree, death certificate, or annulment papers." So the answer is both of you.

    USCIS doesn’t differentiate between step-child and biological child for immigration purposes. As long as you married her mother before she turned 18, then she’s treated as your child. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-b-chapter-8

    Congrats and thanks for taking the time to fill your timeline in. 😊
  18. appleblossom
    Ah, ok, yes big difference then. This is why filling in your timeline is so vital! Not only does it help others, it means you get better help too. Good luck.
  19. appleblossom
    It was 12 months ish (https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/799459-2023-us-embassy-ankara-ir1-interview-wait-time/page/4/#comments), not sure if that’s changed recently but it gives you an idea at least. It seems to be a bit quicker for Turkish citizens as they take priority. You can also search the forum for timelines to see if you can find any more recent cases - please fill in your timeline too to help others, ditto @mico1989Athens, @zerosugar and @anthonyq. Good luck all.
  20. appleblossom
    Just trying to help - because yours is a different type of case. So if you want info, best to stick to your existing threads where you can get accurate advice.
  21. appleblossom
    No. Unless any of the court actions are successful there will be no way for them to stay. I’m so sorry.
  22. appleblossom
    Yes, ending in August 2025 now I believe.
  23. appleblossom
    Then no, they must leave before their current status ends. They could only stay if they had submitted a I-485, but they aren’t eligible to do that, so they will be getting their immigrant visas via consular processing. It’ll be at least another decade.
  24. appleblossom
    When did she file? They can only submit I-485 and stay if their Priority Date is current.
  25. appleblossom
    You both are at the interview window. Most questions will be directed to you, I think my wife was asked one (and then of course the oath).
