    You’ve not actually said, are they Pakistani? Any other citizenships? If they’re just Pakistani then they can’t get a visa, as @milimelo said they will be interviewed but then the case will be held. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/immigrant-visa-processing-updates-for-nationalities-at-high-risk-of-public-benefits-usage.html

    But you’re not in? So that’s not relevant to you. Definitely stick to consular processing, or all of this wait could have been for nothing. Good luck.

    Once it’s current he’ll be added to the line for an interview, you don’t need to do anything. His age is ‘locked in’ when a visa becomes available to him, so it won’t matter if it retrogresses.

    It’s illegal to enter the US as a visitor if your actual intention is to adjust status and try and stay. It wouldn’t matter when you filed, it would still be immigration fraud. So don’t do it. Visit (if you already have a valid B visa) but then return and go through consular processing as planned.

    Odd. Are you sure the attorney didn't say I-407? That's the usual form, but the advice would be to NOT sign it, she needs to insist she's referred for an immigration hearing instead of voluntarily renouncing her LPR status. When is she returning? She needs to hurry up, it's been weeks since we all told you she needed to get on a plane urgently.
  6. appleblossom
    Are you saying your mother has returned and signed that form upon entry? It's nothing to do with LPR status.

    I'm not a bro. 😜 Just bear in mind that if you do the interview, you'll likely have other pay for another medical as well, as it will have expired by the time the ban is lifted. So you may not want to rush to interview, but your call. Submit an enquiry to NVC if you do want to chase it up, point out that their own tool says they were scheduling April 2026 so you seem to have been skipped. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html?wcmmode=disabled And just checking, but you have been keeping an eye on your spam/junk email folders? Just in case you have had the IL but it's gone in to there.
  8. appleblossom
    Which one? You should have had an IL according to the link above, which is usually pretty accurate. So I'd submit an enquiry to NVC. But I assume you know you can't get a visa at the moment as Egypt is on the country visa ban list?
  9. appleblossom
    You should have had an IL by now if you're eligible. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html What's your category, country of birth and Priority Date?

    You don’t. If you’d filed by paper you wouldn’t have been given one. You can see there’s no mention of needing it in the step by step instructions, USCIS isn’t relevant to your application any longer as their part is done. It’s all NVC and the consulate from here (which use CEAC).
  11. appleblossom
    See my timeline on my profile - mine was an EB immigrant visa.
  12. appleblossom
    Just to confirm, the instructions tell you to schedule another interview? That’s just very unusual, normally you just courier in any missing docs.
  13. appleblossom
    OP says he’s checked both NOA’s/I-797’s though.
  14. appleblossom
    I think they actually have to have an extra one or two as they’re over 65. But you can find the list and age related requirements on the CDC website. Edit: here you go - https://www.cdc.gov/immigrant-refugee-health/hcp/panel-physicians/vaccination.html#cdc_generic_section_12-table-1-vaccine-requirements-according-to-applicant-age-for-panel-physicians
  15. appleblossom
    I really wouldn't worry if it's not on your I-797. You don't need it, and a lot don't bother with it even if they do have it (I did, logged in once, never used it again!). Now your I-130 has been approved you'll be using CEAC for the next step anyway. Good luck.
  16. appleblossom
    Again, not unless you have something to worry about. If you didn't lie at any point, and it was a legit job, then it shouldn't be an issue for you.
  17. appleblossom
    Looks like you applied in May 2025? So that's probably going to make no difference anyway by the time you get your citizenship. The thread you've linked to above is from before the changes were implemented. As long as you got your LPR status legitimately (was it through employment?) then you have nothing to worry about. Good luck.
  18. appleblossom
    Only just spotted this, but you don't need UK income or savings - they can be from anywhere in the world.
  19. appleblossom
    It depends on the consulate, can be 2 months, or 2+ years. Is yours Vietnam? Just guessing from your profile. But if so, it's super quick in Ho Chi Minh City. @Sarah_k92, London is about 5 months for an IL now, the backlog has increased. So you should get an IL about July time, probably for an interview in Sept. You can keep an eye on it here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html

    Field offices aren’t relevant to you - it’s SCOPS you need to select.
  21. appleblossom
    Off topic completely, but you can blame the Portuguese for that, not Brits! Ditto Bombay. Both anglicized versions of names the cities were given by Portuguese traders. https://amp.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/3103607/why-new-york-mumbai-and-guangzhou-were-once-known-other

    Dependent of the petitioner? Or dependent of a beneficiary? Is your parent being petitioned (i.e. by a USC spouse)? Or are you being petitioned by a USC parent? I assumed the former as you’ve put this in the spousal visa forum but please clarify. If you are the dependent of another beneficiary then which consulate have they been given for their interview? When is the interview? If you’ve given proof of your residency in Malaysia then it’s just a case of waiting for NVC to get back to you. How did you contact them?
  23. appleblossom
    Not sure what case tracker you're referring to, but no that's not correct. Maybe 2 years in total (for the whole process) as a rough guess. Good luck.
  24. appleblossom
    IR-2, so are you the dependent on a spousal visa application? If the parent that you're the dependent of is also in Malaysia, which consulate have they been given?
  25. appleblossom
    USCIS don’t expect you to have any of that when you’re living apart and doing consular processing. What they do expect is evidence of time spent together, so that’s what you need to focus on - boarding passes, travel bookings, photos etc. Photos of her with your family maybe (and vice versa if you’ve met them)? You’ll be a few years off an interview so keep gathering that too ready to show more recent time together at interview. Which country is she from and when will her studies end?
