    OP doesn't say they did contact them, sounds like just a message on their account. But to contact NVC, head here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html And if you have questions about CPSA eligibility, start your own thread in the relevant forum and somebody will be able to help.

    Maybe another decade as a rough guess? All you can do is watch the Visa Bulletin and see what happens though.

    Just to clarify, everybody is put in to AP whilst final checks are done. But for most it’s very brief - my status was AP for just a couple of hours before it changed to issued.
  5. appleblossom
    Not sure where you’ve heard it takes 60 days, it can be a lot longer than that. Unfortunately your wife applying as a visitor will mean being put in to extended AP was almost inevitable, as the UK haven’t done any checks on her before really.
  6. appleblossom
    As above, it doesn’t sound like you have a valid reason for an expedite.

    If you were told to send a letter saying it had been sent electronically and have done so, then you should be good.

    What date was she DQ’ed?
  9. appleblossom
    As above, his PD wasn’t current until February though. So for most of his/her wait no interview could have been scheduled anyway, even in a country with no backlog.

    Your parents can try and go down the same route as you with a job/employment based visa, if that doesn't happen then once you are a citizen you can sponsor all of them. It's a fairly quick process for you to sponsor your parents, but much longer for your brother unfortunately - perhaps he could work towards an employment based green card too if he can't accompany your parents in the next couple of years?

    They will respond, but you're just waiting your turn. As above, it's only been 10 days (today is another holiday too) so too early to expect them to be processing it yet.
  12. appleblossom
    Nothing to do but wait until they get to it - it's probably sitting waiting to be looked at. Hope it's not too long for you.

    In all honesty I can’t see why they would choose the US over Canada. Canada is a far more sensible option for somebody on a low skilled/low salary visa IMO.
  14. appleblossom
    It’s both. Follow the full website guide - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html Good luck.

    It takes much longer than 3 months in Lagos I’m afraid, there’s a big backlog there. Unless that reduces, your parents aren’t likely to get their interviews until 2025. Good luck.

    If you have proof of you being resident in London (utility bills in your name, being on electoral roll, etc) then absolutely do request it. It would be so much quicker.
  17. appleblossom
    2-3 months. But are you actually resident in London? You can’t switch to a consulate unless you live/work there. If you do, then definitely request a transfer as it will be much quicker and also save you having to fly back to Lagos for your interview.

    On other threads.

    Yes, but the applicant doesn’t need to wait in the US whilst it’s processed. They can leave once biometrics are done. And it seems to be the only option if the husband and wife want to wait the waiver out together.
  20. appleblossom
    No way of knowing unfortunately, it depends on the reason for it and the checks they're doing. There's no set timeline.
  21. appleblossom
    Ah, I see. You'll be sent a full list of everything that you need to get before the appointment then, I wouldn't get your SCR yet as they may say it needs to be more recent when you do have the medical. Your GP surgery should be able to do most missing vaccinations. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    Yes, they have given some August interviews, but there may still be others available. I'd think it more likely that anybody that gets an IL in July will get a Sept interview date though.
  23. appleblossom
    Yeah, just vaccination history won't be enough. You also need medical history, any medications etc - all of that (along with the vaccination records) will be on your SCR. Have you booked your medical yet? As the confirmation should tell you what you need to bring.
  24. appleblossom
    Can your GP write a letter about your diagnosis and treatment? We had to get that for my daughter who was on anti-depressants and had a history of anxiety and self harm. The all important wording that's needed is that you are 'not a danger to yourself or others'.
  25. appleblossom
    Usually the end of the month, but they can be anytime, particularly at this time of year when they have additional NIV interviews and DV interviews to schedule. So just keep an eye on your email (including junk folder). Good luck.
