    Then they're already citizens. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/child-citizenship-act-of-2000.html

    Depends how long ago her other shots were. As of last year, the requirement is now that a booster is required if there hasn't been a dose in the previous 12 months - https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/panel-physicians/vaccinations.html#:~:text=Applicants must receive one dose,of the immigration medical examination.

    Nope. The Supreme count has ruled that you cannot count on anything told to you by a US government employee. But even if you were given the wrong info, then it won't have been intentional - remember that these are call centre workers, reading off a script, with no actual immigration knowledge. Has your online status ever said that the case if being transferred to the consulate, or has been received there?

    Then she’s good to go. The visa will say ‘IV Docs in CCJ’ which means it’s been sent electronically.
  5. appleblossom
    Does it say 'IV Docs in CCD' on their visas? If so, that means it's been sent electronically.

    Personally I'd try to find out what the problem is - I'd ask for a copy of the medical report/contact the medical provider for more info. If there is something they need to check, a congressman won't be able to to do anything anyway, but if it's an error then I'd escalate it. You just need to find out what the reason for the second medical is first.

    It doesn't mean she failed, but it means it's not complete - there is something outstanding. As I said above, it sounds to me as though they want to follow up on something in 6 months, but the question is what that is.
  8. appleblossom
    Did the passport have the visa in it?
  9. appleblossom
    No, they're immediate relatives, so it's much quicker than that. Maybe a year or so for the I-130 to be approved, then the NVC/consulate stage will depend on the wait for an interview at their consulate - could be as quick as 3 months, or as long as 2 years.
  10. appleblossom
    Same thing basically.
  11. appleblossom
    Depends on the risk tolerance of the OP I guess. I wouldn't do it with my mother, but she's probably much more elderly than the OP's, and I wouldn't want to put her through the stress/hassle and potential of having ESTA taken away personally. Of course, she may have only arrived a couple of days ago and still have plenty of time left if the OP gets her oath ceremony quickly, we don't know what the situation is.

    Sounds to me like they found something during the medical that they want to check again in 6 months time. Any history of alcohol or drug abuse? Any indication of TB in the x-ray? Did she have to do a blood/urine test?
  13. appleblossom
    Have you checked that it matches the previous entry in the form - make sure that one is correct?
  14. appleblossom
    Anybody could mock up a letter and make it look real just by copying others online. But why would you think she’d do that?
  15. appleblossom
    Yes, there are a few people on the forums who have done the same thing. You'll have to submit a I-824 and wait for that to be processed unfortunately. Good luck.

    The categories mentioned in the link above are just expanding on those already allowed. Mine was for an O visa. I've no idea if the OP would qualify for a waiver of the interview or not, but B visa applicants can be eligible (example from one consulate - https://ec.usembassy.gov/visas/nonimmigrant-visas/faq-about-iwp/).
  17. appleblossom
    If you need proof of residence, then where will your wife be living whilst she waits for her visa? You could use proof of that.
  18. appleblossom
    Ah. @EMBELL_17, when does your mothers period of stay on her ESTA expire? I guess it will depend on when your oath ceremony is, but hopefully you have enough time to petition for her after you become a citizen and before she has to leave.
  19. appleblossom
    How do you know how many people are interviewed each month?
  20. appleblossom
    There's no part of it that asks, it will be determined based on the answers you give and if you're deemed eligible you'll be told instantly via email. My interview for a non-immigrant visa was waived last year as I met all the criteria and was applying from the UK (having never lived anywhere else).
  21. appleblossom
    Type it backwards? So for example, if somebody's name was EMMA, and when inputting that it changed it to AMME, I'd just type it in backwards so it read correctly. But I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure it's perfectly common with Arabic and other right to left languages.
  22. appleblossom
    Most people just type the name and address out on a piece of paper, but I guess that should work.
  23. appleblossom
    Ah perfect. Some people don't like the idea of not being able to leave if there was an emergency in their home country. As long as she definitely didn't intend to stay when she entered the US (i.e. hasn't given up a home in the UK, shipped her possessions etc) then she should be good to go, and you can apply before her ESTA expires. Good luck.
  24. appleblossom
    No, and in fact she can't leave until she has AP in hand. Make sure she's ok with not being able to leave the country for up to 9 months or so - if she's not ok with that then it would be better for her to return to the UK and you apply for her via consular processing.
  25. appleblossom
    You've not filled in your timeline so it's hard to tell, but are you sure your son will still be eligible as your dependent if he's over 21 already? Was your petition done under premium processing?
