    Her husband but not your father? So a separate application further down the line? And it’ll take much longer than her application as unlike parents of a USC, spouses of a LPR aren’t classed as ‘immediate relatives’ so they have a longer wait for a visa. So just something else to factor in as she’ll need her own healthcare until he is there and working. Best of luck. As the beneficiary, she’ll have all that from the Welcome Letter. USCIS have nothing to do with visa fees!

    So is this for the visa application at NVC? Or the interview? It sounds like you’re sorted either way but it would be helpful to know which stage you’re asking about. As for other police certs, we can’t know that as we have no idea which other countries you’ve lived in before. So ever spent more than 6 months anywhere else?

    So what citizenship do you have?

    Then your child will be a US citizen from birth.

    I'm not a Sir! 😂 No, they're not holding your application. You are not eligible for a visa by law until your PD is current on the VB so nothing will happen until then. What do you mean you 'will try for Mumbai'? Is that where you live? You don't choose the date, you wait to be given one, but you interview wherever you're resident usually.
  6. appleblossom
    They don't specify long form birth cert, so I think you'll be ok personally. Good luck.

    Never use AI for immigration advice! It seems to be wrong more than it's right, and your spouse simply isn't eligible until June from what you've said. Your call, personally I wouldn't risk it as if you're denied (plenty on the forum have been, see threads below for a couple of examples), you have to other start over and pay another fee.

    You can't move ahead with F2B now anyway as your PD isn't current. So your choice, you can notify NVC of your parent's citizenship and move to F1, or leave it as it is and wait for F2B to become current. Nobody can tell you which would be best, as we have no idea when F2B may become current, or even if either category may retrogress.

    A verbal approval means nothing unfortunately. Everybody is placed in to AP for final background checks before a visa is issued. For most, that's super quick (my status was only on AP for about 2 hours before it changed to issued), but for some there's more checks that need to be done and so they're put in to 'proper' AP. Sounds like that's you, and there's no notification sent. I'm afraid nothing you can do but wait it out. Anything that may have triggered it - were you born in Canada or elsewhere? Ever lived anywhere other than Canada? Any employment history in a job on the TAL list? Any previous US visa violation? Were you the main applicant, or your husband?

    How did you become a citizen and how long have you lived in the US?
  11. appleblossom
    You don’t need to do anything, personally I would pay the fees though as they’re likely to increase between now and her being ready. Just don’t do anything else. Your Mum should contact them, it’s her visa application. How long is she likely to want to put the application on hold for? One thing to factor in is the cost of health insurance - obviously I have no idea how old she is or what her situation is, but if she’s waiting for retirement to move, it may be better to go sooner so she could try and work enough to become eligible for SS and Medicare. Just a thought anyway. Good luck.

    Which consulate will she be interviewing at?
  13. appleblossom
    Are you Mexican?
  14. appleblossom
    As it says, only relevant if an official document isn’t available. Sounds like you’ve got all of those so you don’t need anything else.
  15. appleblossom
    No. Although usually one can apply 90 days before the 3 year anniversary of LPR status if married to a USC, there’s also a secondary requirement that the applicant has lived with that spouse for at least 3 years at the time of application. From what you’ve said, she won’t be eligible under that criteria until June.
  16. appleblossom
    That’s because you’re not current yet, you won’t be added to the line for an interview until there is a visa available to you. Table B is only relevant to the Welcome Letter to start the visa application, and you’ve already had/done that if you’ve been DQ’ed. It would be really helpful (both for yourself when asking questions, and for other F2B applicants) if you’ve could please fill your timeline in. Are you interviewing in Mumbai or somewhere else?
  17. appleblossom
    I’m confused. In a previous post you say you’ve already been DQ’ed? What does your online status say?
  18. appleblossom
    OK. So your parents were supposed to update their status with NVC and then you could choose to opt out of the conversion to F1. You can still do that but now F2B might be current anyway by the time you’ve done that as USCIS often move at a glacial pace! https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#ivp6 Good luck.
  19. appleblossom
    You need to read the instructions really carefully. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/LND-London.html Your medical result will be transmitted to the consulate by the doctors, you aren’t given it. You must have the document check done the same day as your medical. Good luck.
  20. appleblossom
    Sounds like you’re in AP. What does your online status say?
  21. appleblossom
    Are you currently outside of the US? Or inside and adjusting status? Did your parent update their status with NVC when they became a citizen?
  22. appleblossom
    Yes, as long as they have a passport for that country. They’ll need to take that for the visa to be issued in to.
  23. appleblossom
    "Are there any exceptions? Dual nationals applying with a valid passport of a country that is not listed above are exempt from this pause. " https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/immigrant-visa-processing-updates-for-nationalities-at-high-risk-of-public-benefits-usage.html So if the OP’s parents have citizenship of a country that isn’t on the list, they can still get a visa.

    If he’s aged out of the F4 petition he must be over 21, so it’ll be F2B. @Bchandra, you need to petition him. It’ll take a decade or so. Which country was he born in?
  25. appleblossom
    You'll need an actual date, to demonstrate the urgency of it. Only jobs with an imminent start date quality.
