    What the reason for visiting the US, do you have family there? What ties can you show to Pakistan (job, family, etc)?
  2. appleblossom
    Ok. And consulate/country?
  3. appleblossom
    Just to confirm, your spouse is a US citizen and not a green card holder?
  4. appleblossom
    You’ve not said which category or which consulate, nobody can help without that info.

    Oh I see what you mean, I thought you meant people whose PD isn't current and who haven't been DQ'ed yet. Actually have just realised your PD, seems odd that you weren't DQ'ed until July this year?
  6. appleblossom
    Yes, it'll be done by DQ date, not PD. So anybody whose date becomes current in the October VB won't impact your wait at all, they'll be a long way behind you in the queue for an interview. If you know you've still got at least 4 months wait then it's probably worth re-enrolling the kids in school for February unfortunately.
  7. appleblossom
    Your PD is current isn't it? So the VB isn't relevant to you at all (unless it retrogresses), you'll be ahead of anybody with a PD ahead of yours anyway. I don't know what the backlog is like in Rio or how long the wait usually is but hope you hear soon.
  8. appleblossom
    September. The October bulletin dates kick in on 1st October.
  9. appleblossom
    Yes, it's just a temporary green card essentially so you can do everything you'd do on the physical green card.
  10. appleblossom
    Yes, as long as the company was keeping going in Germany and you met the criteria for the L visa then that would be a good option, it's perfectly feasible to transfer yourself as an executive to open the US branch. Others will know more about it but I think you have to have premises and staff, so it would depend on how big the company was. Once you have an immigrant visa (which the EB1C gives you) then you'd be a 'green card' holder so able to do whatever you like.

    We all entered together! Same with the SSN’s, 3 turned up but hers didn’t, it seems as though somehow her entering didn’t trigger the usual process. It’s fine as she’s used her I-551 for her job, bank account, driving licence, but if it doesn’t arrive soon I’ll contact USCIS. Congrats on yours being despatched, hopefully you’ll have them in the next couple of days.
  12. appleblossom
    That is odd. Are you sure you're F2A and not F2B? What does your status say when you check it?
  13. appleblossom
    3 green cards received in today's mail. My daughter's seems to have been forgotten about (same thing happened with her SSN, the rest of us received them and she didn't, we waited several weeks and had to go to an office to sort it), as she's not had any tracking number etc. So will give it a week or so and see if it turns up, if not I'll contact them. They seem to have her missed off our application since landing somehow!

    Editing, as Boiler posted at the same time! As he said, PD is what matters. All you can do is make sure you have everything ready to go as soon as your wife is eligible to apply for citizenship, and hope processing times improve (for both citizenship and sponsoring family) between now and then.
  15. appleblossom
    Also, would suggest your wife applies for her siblings as well as back up.
  16. appleblossom
    It's going to be tight time wise for F2A - as Boiler has said, F2B is more likely, so best to expect that and be pleasantly surprised if it's not.
  17. appleblossom
    Not sure I'll think it's over until the cards actually arrive - Informed Delivery says there are 3 packets on the way from USCIS but there are 4 of us, so somebody doesn't have one yet! 😂

    How long ago in the past? Most consulates are getting through their backlogs and times are getting quicker. The current time for spouse visas in Ankara seems to be around 4-5 months, so hopefully it will be quicker than a year for @Aya2538 although I can't find any threads for EB applicants there.
  19. appleblossom
    How old are the siblings now?
  20. appleblossom
    The US may not extend tourist visas, but I know other countries do. My mother spent 4 years on Canadian visitor status, extending online every 6 months whilst her PR app was processed. Perhaps it's just the usual problem of tone not being portrayed well in the typed word, but your responses are coming across as aggressive and rude to somebody that was simply trying to help. I wish you luck but I think I'm done here.
  21. appleblossom
    Visas can usually be extended, even if they're for an initial 6 or 12 months. The digital nomad visas are renewable, usually indefinitely so I'd look further in to them if she qualifies. Most countries have January or April intakes for students as well, not just September/October. I understand she may be 'long done with education', but surely it's an option worth looking at if you're saying her life is in danger if she has to go back to her home country? Once you've applied for the I-130, you could also ask for an expedite, so that may help things.
  22. appleblossom
    None of us can know where may suit as we don't know what she does for a living, what skills she has, how old she is, etc. Plenty of countries have options that may work i.e. remote working visas (Dubai, Barbados etc), working holiday visas if she's young enough and from a country that qualifies (Canada, Oz, NZ, UK, etc), or study permits if she has the funds to study abroad. Or other countries have much longer stays for visitors (Canada, Malaysia, etc) than 3 months. Personally I'd exhaust every option of a third country rather than risk her being banned from the US, as that would make things even harder for you both.
  23. appleblossom
    That's good, still a chance then. What's the usual wait time/backlog like at Rio? Hope it's not too long.
  24. appleblossom
    A doddle. 5 minutes if that, just checked our paperwork, checked the address to send the GC's too, and stamped the visas, then waved us on our way. I've had more questions when entering on holiday!
  25. appleblossom
    Maybe Rio hasn't sent any out this month yet? Not sure on when they send out IL's or what the backlog for that consulate is, but hope you hear soon.
