    So when is/was the interview? Your previous posts say 25th/26th Sept, has she already had it? If so how did it go?
  2. appleblossom
    Yep, we did.
  3. appleblossom
    Yes, we got texts and the tracking number is also put on CEAC (although we'd already had the text with it by that point).
  4. appleblossom
    The officer probably assumed you knew. Keep an eye on that status, fingers crossed it changes very soon!

    It was announced on 27th August - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/annual-limit-reahed-in-the-eb-1-category.html What does CEAC say? Hopefully your status updates to issued soon if it hasn't already, good luck.

    Just update it upon entry, the officer should check the address is still correct as part of the processing. We had a hotel address on our DS-260 as we didn't know where we would be living, when we entered on the visas we had secured a rental house so just updated it with the immigration officer. I typed the address up and printed it out to give to him just in case.

    That's nothing to do with the consulate though, that's because there were no visas available until yesterday. I'd have had the same thing if I'd had my interview at the end of the Fiscal Year when the quota had filled.

    Congrats! And no problem at all, it was only last year that I was in the same boat and I remember it well. We got our passports back within 4 days (interview Monday afternoon, passports arrived Thursday morning) so hopefully it's as quick for you. Best of luck for the move.

    OK, so yes you are eligible for a visa if your PD is current. I must be misunderstanding your question then, can you clarify?
  10. appleblossom
    Yes, it can, because you can be DQ'ed well before your PD is current. You can start the NVC process when your date is current on Table B of the Visa Bulletin, but there's still no visa available to you until it's current on Table A. What is your PD and which category? Please do fill in your timeline.

    Is his spouse a US citizen or green card holder?
  12. appleblossom
    Was he born in Canada? If you're quick with paying fees and submitting docs, then it'll be about 6 months from the I-130 being approved to his interview date as a rough guide.
  13. appleblossom
    It's about 14 months for I-130's at the moment, so you're nearly there. The next step will depend largely on your (how long you take to submit documents, etc), and the consulate - Montreal unfortunately has quite a lengthy wait for interviews. Is your husband Canadian originally?
  14. appleblossom
    Yes, she can leave as soon as she's entered on the visa. Just remember the clock starts ticking on her LPR status from as soon as she does that, so she shouldn't be out of the US for too long, but I assume she was planning on moving soon anyway so it would only be a brief trip home to tie up loose ends?
  15. appleblossom
    It's 6 months from the date of the medical. So she'll need to enter the US before the visa expires, but she can just do that and then return on the next flight to wrap things up at home if she wants.
  16. appleblossom
    Have you not been using that the whole way through and checking it incessantly?!? Just the rest of us then. 😂 It may not change today as they'll have a huge number to get through now the FY has reset, but hopefully soon. It'll change to 'issued' when it's actually been printed and put in your passport, and then you'll know it'll be on its way soon. Good luck.
  17. appleblossom
    You mean tracking the delivery? You need to use the normal CEAC visa status check - when it's been sent the tracking info will be on there. https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx
  18. appleblossom
    It would depend on the type of case. You'll have a full list of documents that you are required to bring though.
  19. appleblossom
    Yes, exactly. I wouldn't contemplate filing anything without a good lawyer personally, you could be risking your own status.
  20. appleblossom
    That would be lying, and immigration fraud. And frankly a stupid idea particularly with an ex that can easily prove you knew about her before you applied for your visa.
  21. appleblossom
    Have you asked why he's insisting on that? What you've got seems to meet the country specific guideline? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Liberia.html
  22. appleblossom
    Why do another DNA test? What do you intend to say on the affidavit?
  23. appleblossom
    Ah. That may be an issue then as you should have declared her on your DS-260. You might want to run this past a lawyer before filing.
  24. appleblossom
    Sorry to say but it won't stay the same - as @Boiler said, it's not linear. The current date on this month's Visa Bulletin is August 2007 for F4 applicants, but if you go back 2 years to the September 2022 bulletin you'll see the date then was March 2007, so it's only moved 5 months in 2 years. The I-130 being approved isn't necessarily helpful as there's still a long wait until a visa becomes available, so I wouldn't worry about that - and in fact you want it to take as long as possible if your brother has children. You can't change the category of your petition, but your father can file a new one. It would be very sensible for him to, there's no problem having two in the system at the same time from different people. Yes, F3's that were filed 14.5 years ago only now have a visa available to them. But again, that's not linear so I'd expect that to take longer if you're just filing one now. Put bluntly, through either you or your father, your brother is probably at least 15 years away from a visa. So if there is any other route available to him, i.e. employment, I'd suggest you explores that if he wants to move sooner rather than later. Good luck.
  25. appleblossom
    There may be questions about why she wasn't declared on your application. But presumably you have proof that you didn't know for sure she was your child until after you received your visa? When was the DNA test done?
