    Nobody knows unfortunately, it could be lifted in a few weeks, or a few years. Depending on her financial circumstances, she may want to postpone the interview so she doesn't have to pay for the medical twice (as it will only be valid for 6 months, so chances are she'd have to pay for a second one when the ban is lifted).
  2. appleblossom
    Yes, that's my point - if a police cert for Qatar was needed you wouldn't have been DQ'ed.
  3. appleblossom
    Are you using the official guide and making sure you follow that really carefully? It says it on there - as per @Crazy Cat's post above. But also if you needed a police cert for Qatar then you wouldn't have been DQ'ed.

    Seriously, don't wait for the February bank statements or wait 2 weeks to organise anything. Just file it now, as said above an RFE is far better than her being picked up and deported. You don't want to mess around with the current administration. Good luck.

    That’s really odd. Were you a USC when you petitioned him? Does he have any citizenship other than Canadian? Any criminal record? When you say the lawyer has ‘submitted 2 delay requests’ what do you mean? Did he just enquire, or submit a form for the case being outside normal processing times? I agree with the above. Time to contact your congressman and/or file a WoM. And fire your lawyer, because he should have suggested doing both of those a long time ago. Just FYI, you haven’t applied for your husbands green card. The I-130 is only the first step in a 2 part process, once that’s approved he’ll then apply for his immigrant visa (and get a GC when he enters the US on that). Best of luck to you.

    Ah, so she has a B2 medical visa? That is different then. I’d definitely be more concerned about your parents and their status. What’s the long term plan for them/your sister?
  7. appleblossom
    Not necessarily. They do still process stuff at the weekend. We had status change on a Saturday. Good luck.
  8. appleblossom
    Did your parents get the re-entry permit? I’d be more concerned about their status personally. Although if your sister spent 6 months in the US last year I wouldn’t have her visit again this year. Far too soon IMO.
  9. appleblossom
    Resubmit the entire thing. Have you not met in person in the two years prior to filing?
  10. appleblossom
    Please do remember to complete your timeline now you are a LPR. Thanks. 😊
  11. appleblossom
    That is the I-551 stamp, it’s not changed. Congrats on becoming a LPR of the US!

    It says "The legal custody must have been the result of a formal grant of custody from a court or other governmental entity." You said above it was a government foster placement, so sounds to me like it would qualify? But I would probably have a consultation with an immigration lawyer as they'll be able to tell you for sure, best of luck to you.

    "The legal custody and joint residence requirement may be met by custody and residence that preceded the adoption." https://www.uscis.gov/adoption/immigration-through-adoption/family-based-petition-process Congrats!

    If they do tell people they’re approved it doesn’t mean they actually are. Every single case still has to undergo final checks, most only take a day or two before the online status changes to ‘issued’, but some can take a lot longer.
  15. appleblossom
    I would do, yes, as you technically were still employed at that point.
  16. appleblossom
    Yes, put unemployed now - but presumably you were still employed when you came to the US, you had a job to go back to that you had to give notice to? Make sure you're careful about that, if you say you've been unemployed since you arrived it could look as though you planned to stay. For prior work put yourself if you were self employed, and the location where you worked (i.e. your home/office). Occupation means what you did. And yes, include all dates/periods of employment including when you were unemployed.

    The link you gave above tells you - "When a new immigrant first enters the U.S., U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will stamp the passport with an admission stamp that indicates the immigrant has permanent resident status" My daughter entered multiple times on hers with no issues, airline staff are very used to them.
  18. appleblossom
    As soon as you enter Canada on your immigrant visa you have a green card - the endorsed visa in your passport is a temporary green card until the plastic one turns up in the mail weeks/months later.
  19. appleblossom
    No. Exactly when was she out of the US?
  20. appleblossom
    She'll have an immigrant visa. She won't be a green card holder until she lands on that visa. Can she get a passport? Or is that not an option? At least if she had a passport you might be able to go somewhere else together.
  21. appleblossom
    If she was DQ'ed then you've already had the Welcome Letter - it was the email telling you to start the NVC process (pay fees, submit the DS-260 etc). Sounds like she's just waiting for the interview letter? As above, it should be fairly soon. Just follow the steps on the usual website, sounds like you're at Step 10 now? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html
  22. appleblossom
    Sounds like it. Now just a case of waiting for USCIS to officially cancel it and confirm that to you. I'm sorry that things didn't work out for you.
  23. appleblossom
    Exactly when in 2020? Sounds like she wasn't eligible to apply. If (for example) she left the US from February 2020 to October 2020, then she's presumed to have broken residence, and it can be overcome but will be tricky. Really she should have waited until 5 years from when she returned to the US. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3

    He can just say he wants to withdraw. But as @Crazy Cat says, I wouldn't pull it unless there's a very good reason. They can leave it at NVC for years if they're no longer sure they want to move, but that would be better than revoking the I-130 and then having to pay another set of fees and start from scratch if things change again.
  25. appleblossom
    That doesn't sound to me as though you can show that the US is your permanent home, and you'd be risking losing your LPR status. I'd absolutely get the re-entry permit.
