    I missed the bit about the wife! Red flags all over the place, frankly I'd have been amazed if he was admitted.

    The posts says he had one ('US issued visa'). It's possible the person that posted is confused and doesn't understand the VWP of course. OP, sorry to be blunt but there's no point in taking 'this as high as possible'. Bottom line is he can be refused entry for any reason, he has no right of entry unfortunately. It isn't likely to be the just lack of money itself that meant he was refused entry, but also the reasons why he didn't have much money. Does he not have a job? That would mean he's trying to enter with a USC girlfriend and missing a strong reason to return to Oz. The only thing he can do is reapply again when he has more funds, and more ties to Australia.

    It was current a couple of years ago, I think just very few applicants compared to normal then because of Covid. Employment based can be super quick if EB1 and sometimes EB2, but can also be really slooooowwww! Good luck, I hope it all works with your timescales.

    I think you're fine then. I'd just carry on with the NVC stage and then delay the interview if needed when you get to that point - but that's likely to still be a long way off given the PD has only moved 2 months in the past year. Will your employer be happy to wait that long though?
  6. appleblossom
    Oh, I thought you were EB-3, didn't spot you came under 'other worker'. So when do you actually want to move in an ideal world? You've got quite a wait anyway so unless you want to delay a really long time, I think the PD wait will take care of that for you.
  7. appleblossom
    Absolutely fine. From the guidance notes "This individual can be of any nationality/reside anywhere in the world".
  8. appleblossom
    Yes, but you can't be scheduled for an interview until a visa is available to you anyway. So depending on when you want to move, you may not need to delay things, as the Visa Bulletin and waiting for your PD to become current will do that for you. Where are you getting the August 2020 date from? It's not on this month's VB so wondering if you're looking at an old one?

    The cap has been reached for the first half of FY 2024. https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/h-2b-non-agricultural-workers/cap-count-for-h-2b-nonimmigrants Re: your question about the DS-260, I believe you have a year in which you have to proceed, so you can delay things for quite a while. You can wait to submit the DS-260 & docs. Then once you are DQ'ed, you can also delay the interview if needed. But none of this is relevant if your PD isn't current anyway? When do you actually want to move? Oh, and I travelled to the US several times after the petition was approved and before I got my immigrant visa. No issues at all for me, I entered on my O1 visa the month after my IV petition was approved, and then went backwards and forwards before I moved permanently on my IV in July.

    'We can assure' won't be enough, they won't take your word for it. As above, she may need to move back soon so she's settled before you start the NVC process. What is the Priority Date? You say 'move to the US with us', are you still eligible to get a visa, you've not aged out? Just that a grandmother in her late 80's would usually mean an older grandchild, although not necessarily of course.

    You don't get a packet unless you're receiving an IV via a certain route (employment based for example). If you're a family based applicant then it's sent electronically, which is what the 'IV docs in CCD' means. And your A number should be on your visa in your passport? Or you can find it on your IV handout, or other IV paperwork.

    All the cases I've seen on VJ that have been refused processing at London because they aren't resident have been British citizens. That's why personally I'd email the London embassy and check with them before making arrangements for flights/hotel/medical etc. Just in case!
  13. appleblossom
    The guy I was thinking of did provide an address (grandparents home I think?) but got asked for proof he lived there. Maybe London is extra hot on it as it's one of the quickest consulates at the moment, so they get tons of people asking to move their cases there that don't live there.
  14. appleblossom
    Personally I would contact the London consulate directly and check that you definitely can have it processed there if you're living in Mexico, it would be awful if you went all that way for medical/interview and then got told no! And then you'll have it in writing in case of any issues too.

    No way of uploading evidence on my USCIS account. It was literally just another way of checking my status, nothing else useful at all on there. Only CEAC showed me documents etc. I agree that nearly 2 years is odd though, I hadn't spotted that before.
  16. appleblossom
    Even that doesn't work a lot of the time. There was a case on VJ recently of an EB2 applicant in Canada (where the wait time is about 18-24 months for an interview) that was a British citizen and tried to have his case transferred. He was asked for proof of residency i.e. utility bills, council tax bill etc, and without that it was refused so he was stuck in Canada waiting.
  17. appleblossom
    Ah, the police check makes sense now. Really didn't see how you could get the wrong one for the UK! I'd be surprised if your case is accepted at London though if you don't live there? When did you last live there?
  18. appleblossom
    Just to clarify for anybody reading, citizenship doesn't mean anything when it comes to consulates, residency does. Plenty of examples of people who are resident in super slow countries (i.e. Canada) that are British citizens and have tried to have their interview in London but been refused. And of course, the other way around - plenty of people who aren't British citizens but are living and working in the UK so have their case in London.
  19. appleblossom
    Oh nooooo! What did you submit?! Didn't even know there was another type of ACPO report. Hope it all gets sorted asap. When are you hoping to move?
  20. appleblossom
    Then that may be it, depending on the PD, there is no visa available to apply for yet so no fees to pay or DS-260 to complete. It doesn't explain why @Gymguy has it greyed out as well though, unless they're from China or India of course. Hopefully s/he will also fill out their timeline with that info soon so that we can help them.
  21. appleblossom
    Just checking, is your PD current? If you could fill out your VJ timeline it would be really helpful to other EB2 applicants and also anybody trying to help with your questions.
  22. appleblossom
    You’re right that the normal filing/attorney/etc fees cannot be paid by the employee though, only the PP fee can.
  23. appleblossom
    Immediate relatives of citizens don’t have a Priority Date as there is no limit on the number of visas available to them, unlike other relative categories. So no wait for a visa to become available and just the processing time.
  24. appleblossom
    He won't be scheduled for an interview until his PD is current (i.e. before the date on the Visa Bulletin) - his PD is 30th Sept 2019 and the current date is 8th Feb 2019. There's no visa available to him until that happens. So it's about 8 months before his date at the moment, but it's not linear so may not advance at the same rate. And then once his PD is current and a visa is available, he'll be added to the queue for an interview so you need to add on time for that wait too. HTH explain it a bit, good luck.

    And all employment based applicants (EB1 etc). Congrats, hope your move goes well.
