    10 months apparently…...https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Obviously no guarantee that F1 will remain quicker, but it's worth considering.

    I logged in to my USCIS account once when going through the green card process earlier this year, then realised it didn't give me any info that my online status checker didn't, and so never bothered again. I really wouldn't worry about it if you can't get in, you're not missing much!
  3. appleblossom
    Yep, I agree with the above advice, this is too risky. I'm struggling to see why you need to return to your home country to 'do some stuff regarding the big move', when you've already had 9 months since you left the US to do that. And a border officer may see it the same way.

    Not sure who you're asking but the thread is about those with K1 visas - so might be worth starting your own new thread instead. Although with AP it's a 'how long is a piece of string' thing really, and will vary hugely so one applicant's timeline isn't likely to be relevant to you. It can take weeks, months or years, no way of knowing unfortunately.
  5. appleblossom
    Long way to go yet then. Hopefully by the time your PD is current and you're in the queue for an interview Montreal will have caught up with themselves a bit. Good luck.

    It's crazy, if they are signing applications on other people's behalf then unethical is right. I can't imagine giving control over to somebody else for something that important.
  7. appleblossom
    Oh, apologies, I thought 'you signing something' meant you thought she'd signed it. She may well have done, we could be wrong, but it reads to me as if she never even saw it which is even more worrying! If the 'agency' are submitting and signing documents on people's behalf without power of attorney or similar, then I can't imagine that's legal.
  8. appleblossom
    AP can go on for months or even years. I know it's easier said than done but if you see an update don't read too much in to it, it may mean nothing at all. As above, if you fill out your timeline and country info then forum members will be able to help you properly.
  9. appleblossom
    I don't think the OP even signed it, I think the 'agency' did on her behalf. 😲

    Ugh. I don’t think any of them will get visas then unfortunately. But all you can do is wait and see unfortunately, as you say patience is a virtue. Best of luck, I hope the time passes quickly.
  11. appleblossom
    Ah, ok. As you said filing a petition it sounded like you hadn’t applied for anything yet. Your nieces/nephews might get visas then. How old are they, what’s the PD and which country?
  12. appleblossom
    How old are the kids? Highly unlikely they’ll all be able to immigrate unless very young? But the AOS fee won’t be due for many years, until the NVC stage when a visa is available to them. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-3-pay-fees/nvc-fee-payment-faqs.html#:~:text=There is only one AOS,and pay the AOS fee. For now all you have to pay is the I-130 fee, the rest comes later.
  13. appleblossom
    I don’t think you want them to move faster. The Visa Bulletin isn’t likely to get any better due to the queue of people in front of you, so I think you want them to take a long time to approve the I-130, from my very limited knowledge of the CPSA. Hopefully somebody else will be able to explain it to you.
  14. appleblossom
    You can still sponsor her if she's over 21 and ages out, it just takes longer. @Boiler is a pro on the CPSA that might be able to help, but I'm not sure you'd know for sure until her PD is current in many years.
  15. appleblossom
    You might need to be more specific. Which consulate and what is your PD? If you could fill in your VJ timeline then it would be super helpful.
  16. appleblossom
    You are petitioning family to reunite with them, that's the whole point of the visa - if you're actually petitioning them to move them to the other side of the world, then you don't meet the requirements and an affidavit won't make any difference IMO. You need to wait until you have moved, once you've completed your studies. The good news is that sponsoring parents doesn't take too long compared to other family members, so your parents won't have long to wait once you do petition them.
  17. appleblossom
    Yes. Lots more docs will be required several years down the line when the case gets to the NVC stage.
  18. appleblossom
    As per your previous thread, it's likely to take much longer to get a visitor visa appointment anyway. It's dropped since your last thread, but still over a year (375 days) wait for an apopintment. But if you can get an appointment then they can certainly try get a visa. It will depend on their ties to their home country etc, but no harm in trying.
  19. appleblossom
    Can’t help with questions as mine was an employment based green card, but they tell you on the day if you’ve been approved and then keep your passport to put the visa in it. My interview was no more than 3 minutes long in total, super easy, hopefully his will be the same. Good luck.
  20. appleblossom
    You’re confusing the two processes again. As above, when she enters on her immigrant visa she’ll become a LPR immediately, and have her visa endorsed to act as a temporary green card for the first year. Her actual green card should arrive in the mail a month or two after entry. HTH.
  21. appleblossom
    Yes, absolutely no point in chasing it until the PD is current. No interview can be scheduled until then as a visa simply isn't available. Did you decide to apply for citizenship as per your previous thread? That might make it a bit quicker when you have it. Good luck, hope it speeds up for you.
  22. appleblossom
    That's for the package when the visa is actually issued - I think the OP is referring to the medical results.
  23. appleblossom
    Perfectly normal. There's nothing you can do but wait for them to do their checks unfortunately.
  24. appleblossom
    It’s neither good nor bad, it’s just the way things are done now at most consulates.
  25. appleblossom
    Sounds like it is, but it's a question for the immigration lawyer.
