    You’ll be sent a checklist with the interview letter. But it’s also on the usual website so use that and don’t forget to also follow the link to the country specific info for wherever your parents will be interviewing. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/step-11-applicant-interview.html Good luck.

    They have, but probably stopped as the quota was about to be met (or was met), plus things always slow down in the summer with them focusing on DV and student visa interviews. Normal service will be resumed once the new fiscal year rolls around.

    Should be very soon, if you're definitely current. You've always been a London case and haven't transferred there? I'd guess an interview letter fairly soon for October or November.
  4. appleblossom
    Only at interview. And they may not answer too many questions (it's generally the other way around - they're the ones that will be asking questions!), so stick with asking on VJ where you'll always get people happy to help.

    As above, if that's planned for France in a year's time, you might want to bring it forward as he may have to be in the US by then. Once he gets his visa he only has a finite amount of time to enter the US and activate it. So I'd move that forward just in case, and keep the wedding flexible. Good luck.

    When you say 'adult son', is he over or under 21? And married or unmarried?
  7. appleblossom
    No, once he enters on the K-1 visa he can't leave the US until he has either Advance Parole or his green card (could be anywhere between 3-8 months ish). If that is important to you, then maybe a spousal visa would be a better option so he can then come and go freely.

    I think from a previous post the family property is in the US? So that may work, but I would also make sure the engagement party is super flexible, as you may need to be in the US by then if you're about to submit now. You'll only have a certain period of time to enter the US before your visa expires. Could you maybe do the engagement party in the next six months instead, so that you don't have to worry about moving that as well as the wedding?

    **Thread moved to the AOS forum, as this isn't a IR-1/CR-1 topic**

    Right, so the I-130 filed by your mother is irrelevant if they're now divorced. As @Crazy Cat asked, what's your father's status in the US and how did he enter and when?
  11. appleblossom
    Top tip: if you click on a username you can see all of that members previous posts. Here you go - Good luck with yours.

    Which country are they from? There is always a risk, a visa doesn’t guarantee entry, but plenty of people visit with a pending I-130 with no issues. They should take proof of ties to their home country i.e. evidence of annual leave from a job, house, business, any other children etc. As you’re asking about a tourist visa, I’ll move this thread to the relevant forum. Good luck.

    I really think you’re reading too much in to this and taking it too personally. The letter wasn’t ‘nasty’, it’s a standard one from a template. This isn’t anybody taking action for political reasons, it sounds like a case worker that somehow missed the evidence or just made a mistake. Or as said above, there’s something that’s raised a red flag for them - is there a large age gap for instance? I know it’s easier said than done but step back, take the emotion out of it, and just give them the evidence they’ve asked for. I’m sure you’ll be approved in no time. Best of luck.
  14. appleblossom
    It’s not clear, who’s the US citizen? Was the I-130 filed BY your mother or FOR your mother? Where are you now and where is your mother?
  15. appleblossom
    What's the reason for the I-824? Processing time is here - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
  16. appleblossom
    What date did you submit it? If you're eligible to adjust status then you can file the I-485 whilst the I-130 is pending, no need to notify anybody.
  17. appleblossom
    If she's in the US then she must have already had them taken on entry, so they won't usually need them again.
  18. appleblossom
    Yes, exactly. Any absence 6 months or over resets the clock. If her 2025 trip was less than 6 months, she can start counting from whenever she returned in 2023.
  19. appleblossom
    Fab. It would be super helpful if you could fill your timeline in (on your profile). So if your PD is now current then you can go ahead and submit your I-485, there's a guide at the top of the page which may be useful - Best of luck.
  20. appleblossom
    OK, and your husband is a green card holder, that's how you're adjusting status? When was your I-130 approved?
  21. appleblossom
    *Thread moved from DCF to Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents, on the assumption that OP's husband is a LPR** Are you in the US now? On what visa?
  22. appleblossom
    She can leave, but just not for longer than 6 months. That's what breaks the 'continuous residency' requirement. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3 So if her 2025 trip was over 6 months, then wait 5 years. If it was less than, she should be eligible to apply in 2028.
  23. appleblossom
    No, there are no visas available until the new fiscal year.
  24. appleblossom
    I would only go with official info, not that website. There is some misinformation on there, and it's also aimed at B visa applicants. But having the SAR is a good idea, so it's good that you've got that underway.
  25. appleblossom
    How did you contact them, was it via this page? https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/onpt Have you tried getting your congressman to ask on your behalf? That may be worth a shot.
