    It depends on the consulate. Which one? I assume this is a spousal visa and your spouse is a US citizen?

    I'm surprised that the country restrictions announced earlier this year haven't sped things up a bit, you'd think with so many now unable to get visas it would have made AP quicker for people from those countries who are still able to. But it doesn't seem to have done from what I've seen (albeit only from threads like this). And now they're doing more vetting, and checking back on previously issued visas too, my guess is that's only going to increase the backlog unfortunately.

    She could have got an SSN though. Maybe some people don't do wills, but how about your life insurance, is she the beneficiary on that now? Is she on the car insurance? The Amazon account? Any Christmas/holiday cards addressed to both of you at the same address? Just trying to think of things that most people would have. But as said above, USCIS know you've only just started your lives together, so don't overthink it and just provide what you can. Good luck.

    Follow the instructions on the usual website - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/ISL-Islamabad.html But I would strongly advise they don't reschedule. Get them to go to the original interview, and the case will then just be held until the sputum tests are received. But that would be better than trying to reschedule.

    It is if you don't want to be at risk of deportation. I wouldn't leave it past 90 days with the current administration personally.

    Just estimate, I didn't know either but knew the month so I just put the first of the month IRRC.

    You too! Hope you can make it out here in time to enjoy at least some of the New England winter.

    Nearly there indeed. Can't see why that would be an issue. If questioned you can just tell them you're waiting for your interview and then will be moving next year. They'll know that you wouldn't go down the AOS route as you're so close to getting your immigrant visa!

    Congrats! It won’t be January, that’s too soon, they usually give you at least 6 weeks notice of the interview. It will largely depend on how quickly you’re DQ’ed, but if you complete the NVC side of things asap then you might be DQ’ed before Christmas (currently a ~2 week processing time for that - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html). So maybe an IL in January for an interview in March would be my best guess. Best of luck.

    Did you read the advice given above? Your wife needs to amend her tax returns urgently. Leaving aside the issues with your visa, she’s committed an offence! https://www.irs.gov/publications/p501#en_US_2024_publink1000220721 Plus she’s likely to bet a tax refund when they’re adjusted too. She needs to amend them the same way she submitted them - either logging in and doing it herself, or asking her accountant to sort it.

    Not a year, she could use a couple of payslips but I'd go with a couple of months worth personally. And make sure she keeps the job throughout the process, if she were to leave it before your interview that wouldn't be good! Not sure why you think you're not allowed to enter the US, that's not correct at all. I wouldn't go with her though as it may look as though you're trying to enter and stay, I'd let her get settled and then visit a few weeks later. Good luck.

    You should just pause the case at the NVC stage, you can do that indefinitely. Just make sure you take action at least once a year i.e. contact them to say you wish to keep the case on hold.
  13. appleblossom
    Nothing's happening because you're just waiting your turn. The actual case processing doesn't take long at all once you get to the front of the line. You shouldn't expect anything until you get approval, the only thing you'd get is an RFE and you don't want that!
  14. appleblossom
    It won't be 14 months, that's for immediate relatives. USCIS doesn't give processing times for I-130's for non immediate relatives. As @OldUser said, they don't usually rush to approve an I-130 when there's no visa available anyway, and as @Boiler said, most people want it to take as long as possible. As a (VERY!) rough guess, maybe 4 or 5 years?
  15. appleblossom
    If that's what the OP means then yes, that's a huge mistake. But I think he's been told that before -
  16. appleblossom
    Waiting for what?
  17. appleblossom
    There's obviously a glitch in it at the moment, it normally works fine.
  18. appleblossom
    You're basically confirming it, and giving details on how you want your passport returned.
  19. appleblossom
    Sounds like your US immigration journey was fraudulent, if you weren't divorced from your first wife? So your status isn't legit, and you therefore should absolutely NOT file for your children unless you're happy to risk being deported yourself. If you file for anything at all, your whole immigration record will be looked at. This sounds very familiar, have you posted here under another username?
  20. appleblossom
    Everybody gets the extension. Yes, he could have applied for them back when he first got his GC, and it may have saved a bit of time but probably not very different to if you applied for them now. Good luck.
  21. appleblossom
    Ah, ok. This is the forum for other relatives i.e. parents etc. I'm going to move this thread to the CR-1 forum as it seems quite a few of you are spousal applicants, so the thread is in the wrong place. Best of luck.
  22. appleblossom
    Ah. It didn't look familiar so I was wondering if it was the wrong page but obviously not! Have you cleared cookies and tried different browsers?
  23. appleblossom
    That seems to be for scheduling an appointment. Just checking, are you definitely selecting the first option on the form?
  24. appleblossom
    Can't see it making much of a difference, as the categories with the most applicants (spouses, parents) are exempt from the restrictions anyway.
  25. appleblossom
    Never use AI for immigration advice! It's often wrong. But already answered above, see @pushbrk's response.
