    DQ should be pretty quick. You can check current timelines here (it’s updated weekly) - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html Your PD is current but it’s about a 2 year wait for an interview at Islamabad. So I’d guess at some point in 2026, hopefully in the first half of the year if they speed up a bit. Good luck.

    Does she just want her to visit, or to move permanently? Is your spouse a citizen? Which country is her mother in?

    If you were only DQ’ed in August it’s too early to be expecting an IL. Even the quickest consulates are 3 months or so, and CJ has a fairly hefty backlog I think. Might be worth searching timelines to find other cases and see what the wait’s like at the moment but I think it’s about a year. Good luck.

    I’ve read it. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just apply so that you know for sure what the situation is, rather than this endless guessing game. If you don’t know, then none of us can possibly guess. So as you’ve been told, just apply and see what happens. Then you can work out your next step from there, if needed.

    Right, so evidence as above then if she didn’t work. Lease etc.
  6. appleblossom
    When does her current visa expire? You say ‘soon’, have you got time to get married and sort it? Don’t let her go out of status.

    But you said they’ve been American citizens since birth? So they’re already dual citizens.
  8. appleblossom
    If they were US citizens at birth then they just need US passports. They must enter the US on those passports.

    I don’t really understand what you’re asking then. You seem to have no clue what actually happened 9 years ago so why not just try? Then at least you’ll know one way or the other.

    P.S. Have another look at your previous thread - if he gets everything done as quickly as possible then hopefully he'll have an interview next spring Good luck.

    Next steps are laid out here. How long it will take will depend on various factors, including how long he takes to complete the NVC side of things (paying fees, submitting documents etc). 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.

    They do issue it for under 18's as well - see the page here where it says you can get them for 'youth'. https://rcmp.ca/en/criminal-records/criminal-record-checks/types-certified-criminal-record-checks#s3

    That won't be helpful if she didn't naturalise until 2011 anyway. So she hasn't worked since 2011? What do you have that's more recent? Lease/mortgage? Bank statements showing her making regular payments for things like gas or groceries (things that show in person payments, not online)? Car insurance? Medical records? Etc. Basically anything to show she was physically in the US for those years.

    You'd have to go to Mexico City. By the time you've got an appointment and then got the boarding foil back, I agree with @Family, couriering the GC is likely to be a much quicker option.

    No way it’ll be that quick, those will only be non-immigrant visas. Even the quickest consulates are 3-4 months, some as long as 2+ yrs. I don’t know where Abu Dhabi falls in that range but you can search the forum for timelines. Good luck.

    Not necessarily the consulate. From the link above: "We will alert you via SMS and email when your passport is ready to be picked up (see Step 1 for information about the required online registration for this service". I'm not the OP, so it's not relevant to me. But just had a vague recollection I'd seen on VJ about people going to collect their passports for Lagos so checked the webpage above which seems to say the same. But could well be out of date info maybe.
  17. appleblossom
    OK, so you'll put your Canadian address then if that's where you live most of the time.
  18. appleblossom
    Are you sure? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/LGS-Lagos.html

    It's usually just on her Summary Care Record which she can request via email from her GP, or even download herself from the NHS app if she has that. Yes and yes. It'll probably be other ones that we don't normally have in the UK too i.e. Hep B, unless she got them somewhere else of course.
  20. appleblossom
    A waiver is available but there is pretty much no chance of it being granted if she's had vaccinations in the past. She can locate her vaccine records from her GP in the UK, or just have a titre test to check for immunity and find out which ones she needs.

    Which country is your sister's address in, Canada? If you only stay there in the summer it would be odd to put that as your address, that is just a vacation place. Where do you pay bills/pay taxes/actually live/have a lease for?
  22. appleblossom
    Ah. Without the year I thought you meant June 2008!
  23. appleblossom
    The people you've tagged also haven't been on the forum for a year or so. You can look at their profiles and see if they are still active members or not. People will respond when they can.
  24. appleblossom
    I've only just spotted your PD - is that a typo?
  25. appleblossom
    It's nothing to do with the consulate any longer, they don't process AP. AP can't be expedited but you can file a WoM if you want to try and force them to make a decision.
