    No.

    The I-130 isn’t relevant, as that’s not a visa application. So that would remain valid. Why Mexico? Is that where they’re from? Mexico isn’t on the banned list. But they can’t adjust status if they entered the US without inspection so yes, they’d have to return to their home country first, and wait out any ban or apply for a waiver.

    Fiance visas aren’t currently exempt from the restrictions. Which country?
  4. appleblossom
    They only give you 221g if there is missing information or a document they require from you. If it's just standard background checks then you don't get that.

    Could be way longer than 20 days, could be less. Just a case of waiting it out I’m afraid. Good luck.

    You don’t need that, only the divorce certificate to prove you were free to marry your current wife.
  7. appleblossom
    USCIS fees are non-refundable, regardless of the outcome.

    It will be. Don't wait until mid January to file, the I-130 should only take you an hour or two to do, so get that submitted asap to give him the best chance.

    You didn't read far enough down the page! Scroll down to 'Petitioner Documents' and you'll see it says the following - "If you are applying for an IR1, CR1, or F2A visa as the spouse of a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident and your petitioning spouse was previously married: You must obtain evidence of the termination of EVERY prior marriage your petitioning spouse has had. This evidence must be an original or certified copy of one of the following documents: FINAL legal divorce decree, death certificate, or annulment papers."

    Ah, ok. That's good, so she could adjust status through you, although it'll be at least a year. Follow the guide at the top of the page (this is aimed at spouses, but it's the same process for a parent) - But why does it limit her? With an EAD she should be able to work as if she had a green card? And if it's been 4 years then it might be worth asking on the long running VAWA thread where the good folks there will be able to give you advice on how to hurry things along - Good luck.

    How did she get an EAD? And when does it expire?
  12. appleblossom
    Yep, and at the NVC stage as well. You'll need to get another copy. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html

    OK, and what is her status, and if she's there legally, when does her visa/status expire?

    You won't be able to calculate his CPSA age until his PD is current on the Visa Bulletin. At that point, you take his actual age, minus the time it took the I-130 to be processed, and that will give him his CPSA age. So using your example above, if the I-130 took exactly a year to be processed, then he'd need his PD to become current before 5th August 2027 to qualify for the visa. He's likely to age out. But are you a citizen? And if so, when did you and his mother get married, was he under 18?
  15. appleblossom
    Where is your mother at the moment?

    Dual citizens with a passport from a non banned country are exempt from the ban, as long as you have the visa in your British passport you'll be fine. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/12/restricting-and-limiting-the-entry-of-foreign-nationals-to-protect-the-security-of-the-united-states/

    Very odd that they aren't advising you and just telling you to wait. The scope of the ban is pretty clear from the proclamation, so what are they waiting for? https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/12/restricting-and-limiting-the-entry-of-foreign-nationals-to-protect-the-security-of-the-united-states/

    It's all set out on the usual website, make sure you follow the consulate specific instructions as well as the general ones. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html Good luck.

    What did you tick on the form? At the top of it? It can't have been K-3, so presumably you ticked 201(b) spouse? And if you haven't filed an I-129f then you've not applied for a K-3 (just as well, as said above it would be a waste of time).
  20. appleblossom
    If the immigrant visa is in hand, have him get on a plane asap. The ban doesn’t come in to effect until 1st January.
  21. appleblossom
    Nothing to do with it, it’s immigrant visas only we’re talking about.
  22. appleblossom
    K-3 won’t be happening. If CR-1 then as said above it’ll be about 14-15 months (ish) until you expect to hear anything further, which will be when you get an approval. The only thing you might hear earlier is if you get an RFE. Then the next stage (the actual visa application) will vary depending on which consulate you’re at. Could be as quick as 3 months, could be 2+ years. The whole process is laid out step by step here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

    Sounds like they’re just in Admin Processing. Nothing to worry about, and just a case of waiting it out.
  24. appleblossom
    I’m sure it was if he filed last year. You might want to read this thread - I wouldn’t chance it with my mother personally, I’d go with the safe option and do consular processing. But she’s elderly and I wouldn’t want to risk putting her through that.

    *Thread moved, as OP is adjusting status from k-1*
