    No worries. OK, so you're definitely in the queue for an interview - out of interest, why has it taken 6 years though?! Are the other cases spousal applicants? They're usually given priority, so you may find that's why they have had IL's and you haven't. Hope you hear soon, good luck.

    IL came from NVC (NVCAttorney@state.gov). You haven't filled in your timeline, what is your Priority Date?

    That's weird, a summary card record is a standard NHS thing. When you book your medical London says you need to inform them if it's more than X amount of pages long (10 pages I think?) and may need to pay extra for a doctor to look through it all. If you have your full medical record then it would be much longer than that normally, so to avoid having to pay extra I'd go back to your doctors and try again personally. Point them to this page and tell them this is what you need - https://digital.nhs.uk/services/summary-care-records-scr There's no reason for them to refuse to give it to you (I'm not even sure they can).

    There isn’t any delay. Current processing time is 3 weeks (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html), if your case was only sent on 15th June then you wouldn’t be expecting the Welcome Letter yet anyway.

    EB-2 NIW

    appleblossom replied to EB-2's topic in Work Visas

    I really wouldn’t apply by yourself. I don’t think an EB2 NIW is a DIY application personally, and certainly not if you’ve already had a refusal. But it doesn’t sound like your lawyer put forward a compelling case either. How much experience doing EB2 NIW’s do they have? Happy to share the name of our (excellent) lawyers if it helps - I’m EB1 but I know they do EB2 as well. Just message me if you want their details.

    You said he’s 34? So he’s F2B, not F2A.

    OK, so there's no 'next step' yet, as there's no visa available for him anyway, his PD isn't current. He just needs to sit tight and wait but it'll be at least another year as a rough guess. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2023/visa-bulletin-for-july-2023.html And from what you've said he's applied via consular processing, so should expect to be interviewed at his home country consulate when it is current.
  8. appleblossom
    Being scheduled doesn't mean anything if there isn't a visa number available for him, it just means he's in the queue for an interview. But he could still be waiting years yet if his PD isn't current.
  9. appleblossom
    It will depend on where you're having it done, but you'll get a checklist when you book.

    How old is he and what is his Priority Date?
  11. appleblossom
    Approx 16/17 days at the moment - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html
  12. appleblossom
    Mine does too, it has my maiden name under 'other names'.
  13. appleblossom
    Don’t panic, as per the posts above it can take weeks for new slots to show up. So don’t worry if it takes a while. Good luck.
  14. appleblossom
    Yes, but the whole section about the petitioner isn’t relevant to you, as you’re self petitioning. That’s for those being sponsored by family etc.
  15. appleblossom
    Not needed. Have you had your welcome letter yet? It tells you what’s needed in that. Worth filling in your timeline by the way, so people can see exactly what stage you’re at.
  16. appleblossom
    Affidavit is not required for employment based apps. Would be worth you finding specific EB2 threads, this one is just for those that submitted their docs to NVC back in April. There’s an EB1/EB2 thread that’s current.
  17. appleblossom
    You need to give your details to be added, once you actually submit everything. For which documents, it’s all on the website - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html Good luck.

    When can your wife apply for citizenship? Unfortunately permanent residents can't sponsor parents.
  19. appleblossom
    Really odd. So Visa Medicals told you you needed it ahead of your appointment?
  20. appleblossom
    We had our medicals a couple of weeks ago and didn't get given TB jabs. I'm not sure why @NasUK did? It's not even on the list they gave us of possible options for them to give which is odd.
  21. appleblossom
    You can check current times here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html Currently 17 days, it fluctuates but usually around 13-18 days. It's updated every Monday so keep an eye on that for an idea of when you'll get DQ'ed if all is correct. HTH, good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html Going on that, you can expect to be DQ'ed sometime around 15th July, good luck.

    It may not be easier but can certainly be quicker - I don't understand why spousal/fiancee visas can't apply under Premium Processing like employment based IV's can, but it cuts the processing time considerably. Assuming all is ok at our interview in a couple of weeks, our total processing time will be under 6 months for EB1 immigrant visas. Our I-140 was approved in 8 days versus the year or so the I-130 takes for spousal apps. Whether the OP's fiancée qualifies for an employed based IV is another matter though……….

    Another forum I'm on has a timeline thread, seems to be about 4-6 months from interview to passport back. HTH.
  25. appleblossom
    It’s long unfortunately. CR1 applicants DQ’ed in Sept 2021 have just received interview dates for August.
