    Your only options if you want to proceed and move to the US are for your wife to either wait out the ban, or get a waiver. Whether it makes sense to pursue the waiver or not depends, when is the ban due to end? Plenty of people have filed I-601 without an attorney, VJ is a DIY site so I'm sure you'll find lot of hints and tips if you hunt around the forum.

    If one gets approved first, just don't start the visa application until the other is approved. And then once they're both DQ'ed you can contact NVC and ask for their cases to be linked and them to be interviewed together. Good luck.

    Fair enough, it's your choice of course, but just do be aware that in forum netiquette it's absolutely considered 'shouting' and pretty rude. Are you single? If you are the threshold for filing is $14,600. What other income do you have? I assume you're not living off $16,000 in California, just health insurance alone would be more than that.

    I totally agree. @prai, have you seen all the cases of people going for their interviews and being detained/deported because they’ve overstayed their original visa? I wouldn’t risk it at the moment, if it were my mother I’d file the I-130 now but have her go home before her B expires in January and continue via consular processing.
  5. appleblossom
    Which consulate?
  6. appleblossom
    Ignore it completely, as @OldUser said it’s not accurate.
  7. appleblossom
    Yes, you’re supposed to take all documents to the interview that you uploaded to CEAC. It’s in the instructions - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/step-11-applicant-interview.html Just province everything they’ve asked for and hopefully you’ll be approved soon. Good luck.

    There's already the EB-5 that requires $900k - $1.8M, that's been around since the 90's. Which is why I can't see the point of this really and I'm not sure how many will go for it.
  9. appleblossom
    Ok, so sounds like you just need to wait to be notified of the interview appointment. Good luck.
  10. appleblossom
    How old are they, are they at risk of aging out or not?
  11. appleblossom
    Ah, ok, so a different case to the one you asked about before? Then yes, probably 2-3 years for this one as a rough guess. Good luck.
  12. appleblossom
    It doesn’t. It says that if you don’t have an interview scheduled already to ‘please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment’. So that sounds to me as though you’re waiting to have it scheduled for you, and sounds like that was confirmed when you phoned. If it’s only been a few days (and only 2 working days) then I think you’re just expecting things to happen too quickly. Expedited means quicker but not necessarily quick. But I’ll move this to the K-1 Visa forum where hopefully people can help. Good luck.
  13. appleblossom
    Looks like PD is June 2009 according to your previous thread? So there’s nothing to ‘follow up’, no interview will be scheduled as there isn’t a visa available. I’d guess 4-5 years as a rough guess, just keep an eye on the Visa Bulletin. Good luck.
  14. appleblossom
    What’s the Priority Date? DQ date is only relevant if there is a visa available.

    I'd imagine that would be a positive, not a negative. My daughter's SH was within the previous year and it wasn't an issue at all, they just asked her why and she explained. There are other threads on the same subject with lots of other SH'ers who've had no probs with the medical, maybe get your husband to sit and have a read of those to reassure him. Best of luck.

    Citizenship rules haven't changed for many years AFAIK. You won't be double taxed unless you move to a country without a tax treaty with the US (the UK isn't one of them). And as @OldUser said, you'd be subject to the same rules as a GC holder anyway.
  17. appleblossom
    Should be fine. My teenage daughter had very recent SH scars and was on Sertaline at the time of our medical in London, wasn't an issue at all. Just be upfront about it, tick the relevant box on the questionnaire and hand the letter over. Good luck.
  18. appleblossom
    Yep. I wonder if they've calculated it using the interview or visa approval date, which might explain why they think they were eligible but they haven't been given visas.
  19. appleblossom
    It's pretty straightforward, will take about 2 years in total. Start here, follow each step carefully -https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html She can live anywhere in the US she chooses. Good luck.
  20. appleblossom
    Yep. But once the I-130 is approved then they’ll be waiting for their PD to become current before they can get a visa, and as above will want the I-130 to take as long as possible so any dependent children stand a chance of not aging out. I’m not sure when they applied but it’ll be a 15-20 year wait.
  21. appleblossom
    The date the I-130 was approved. And which country were they born in? Either way if the parents have already got their visas I suspect it’s too late now. You said they were ‘included on the DS-260’, but did they each pay a set of fees and submit their own DS-260’s?
  22. appleblossom
    I'm afraid not - https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/dhs-ends-the-abuse-of-the-humanitarian-parole-process-and-terminates-family-reunification-parole

    I'm not sure I see any point in switching now. EB2-NIW's are being scrutinised and rejected more these days, but you should be a shoo in for it. If timing really doesn't work out then you could always do an EB-1 at that point, but I think I'd leave it for now rather than spend money on what could be an unnecessary application.
  24. appleblossom
    Certainly sounds as though you'd meet the criteria for EB1-A. You could have done that and delayed things to 2029 if you'd wanted (or got your visa earlier and then filed a re-entry permit).
  25. appleblossom
    You can't delay the I-140, but you can delay the second stage (the actual visa application) for as long as you need to. You just need to take action at least once a year, but that can be paying a fee, submitting a document, or even just logging in. And you won't get a green card prior to immigrating, you'll get an immigrant visa. Only once you enter the US on that visa do you then get the green card. Best of luck.
