Adding dependents to case
appleblossom replied to ArwaE's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
No, as @Crazy Cat said there are no dependents for immediate relatives, each needs their own application. There’s no guarantee their cases will be expedited but there’s a good chance, all she can do is ask. -
Tourist visa from a visa waiver program country
appleblossom replied to Simon88's topic in Tourist Visas
That’s not true, a denial is more likely, but ESTA is possible. The more time that passes since the visa refusal, the more likely ESTA is. -
I know very little about spousal financial sponsorship (mine was employment based and self sponsored, so no financials required). But there are lots of people who will be able to help suggest a way forward for you I’m sure, best of luck to you.
-
Just spotted this comment. So your spouse is living in the UK now? What evidence did you provide that his/her salary will continue when s/he returns to the US - maybe it wasn’t enough proof and that’s the problem?
-
You do have the chance to get the visa and I’m sure it can be overcome. Might be worth posting a new thread in the relevant forum with details of the salary and assets, somebody will be able to help suggest the best way forward to get your case approved. Best of luck.

It’s only been 7 working days, so I’d say it’s too early to say either way really. Just keep an eye on your status, hopefully it’ll change to issued soon. Good luck.
-
Would they not pick up? Mine was 18 months ago so I might be misremembering but I thought there was the option to arrange a collection. Hopefully as long as you put your case number and details in the envelope it’ll get matched up, good luck.
-
It may not match up if you sent it via RM - for DX you get a specific tracking code usually that is linked to your application. But all you can do is keep an eye on your application status and see if it changes. Good luck.

Canadian Child with father in USA - Child wants to move here
appleblossom replied to Incognito2025's topic in Canada
If he lived in Vancouver it would be far worse! The train from Toronto to Montreal is pretty good. -
Canadian Child with father in USA - Child wants to move here
appleblossom replied to Incognito2025's topic in Canada
Consular processing is now your only option anyway. It would be better for you to petition your stepson as then he’ll be an immediate relative so it will be much quicker. If your husband did now then as said above it would be a F2A category application which takes longer (until your husband gets citizenship, but I’m guessing that would be at least a year away). Best of luck. -
Sounds like it, but double check it here - https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa
-
As I said above, there was no visa available to you until 2 weeks ago.
-
Your case won’t be in the UK until you have an interview scheduled. I can’t see your timeline, it’s still blank I’m afraid.
-
As above, sounds like you’re just expecting things to happen too quickly. It’s only been 2 weeks, not 60 days. You should hear soon.
-
P.S. please do fill in your timeline on your profile, to help other EB applicants. Thx.
-
What do you mean it doesn’t show anything? When you log in to CEAC what does it say? It sounds like you’re just expecting things to happen too early, as there was no visa available to you until 1st January your case wouldn’t have been added to the interview queue until then. But check your status and it will say when it’s in transit, hopefully you’ll get an IL in the next month. Good luck.
-
Unfortunately, nothing to do but wait it out. A verbal approval means nothing, just keep an eye on the status and hopefully it will change to ‘issued’ once AP is complete. Good luck.

Administrative Processing at the London Embassy
appleblossom replied to Moda25's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Please fill in the timeline on your VJ profile instead. A post will just get lost, your timeline will help many, many others going forward. Good luck and congrats! -
Case in transit for 8 weeks
appleblossom replied to Lala jenae's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
Family reunification with whom? What does your online case status say? -
What kind of visa, and what priority date? Please fill in your timeline on your profile and give more details of your case and hopefully somebody can help.

Case in transit for 8 weeks
appleblossom replied to Lala jenae's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
Transit from where to where? USCIS to NVC, or NVC to consulate? What kind of case is this? Please fill out the timeline on your profile and give a few more details and then hopefully somebody can help. -
Average cost of giving birth in the US would be far higher than visa costs though (https://www.forbes.com/advisor/health-insurance/how-much-does-it-cost-to-have-a-baby/), and if there were any complications that cost could skyrocket. If the OP has the financial means to do that then that would be a neat solution, but it doesn’t sound as though that is the case.
-
And just to add that if you don’t get your physical GC before June, it’s easy to get an ADIT stamp - which is basically the same as you’ve got now in your passport but just extends it for another year. It’s free and they usually just mail it to you. Good luck.
-
What age is permission no longer needed? If the OP’s youngest is 15 now then they could be 18 by the time they get a visa, or close to it (and could then delay things a bit if needed). Or is permission still needed up to 21?

Interestingly, I’ve just gone to check the backlog report and can’t find it. I know that they have been making good progress and the backlog recently reduced for the first time in a decade (it had been steadily growing up to that point). Most think that the backlog will grow with the new administration so I wonder if they’ve got rid of it for that reason, or perhaps they’ve just moved it from the usual page. Who knows!
