    Which visa category? Is the petitioner a US citizen or green card holder? And who exactly have they petitioned?

    Marketplace just makes it easier to see it all in one place, but a new immigrant isn’t usually going to qualify for anything like Medicaid anyway. You can go direct to the companies on there though. You can check online, it will depend on age, location, etc, but I’d budget somewhere between $1000 and $2000 a month.

    It was only expedited a couple of weeks ago. You can see the criteria here, but tbh there’s no point with London as it’s super quick anyway so an expedite isn’t likely to be make any difference. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#ivp7

    No, she’ll be able to do it in Montreal if she’s resident in Canada.

    There wouldn't have been an issue if you’d been honest, but sounds like you weren’t. So yes, there may be an issue, but all you can do is wait and see. There’s no set time and no next step, other than just waiting it out. Good luck.

    The next step for what? Please fill in your timeline, thanks.

    It’s for people that haven’t paid, it will cover all sorts of visas so the box is there for others that do have to pay. The fact that it’s greyed out on your view says you have paid.
  8. appleblossom
    Of course it is. The fact that she’s talking about feeling ‘safe’ tells you all you need to know - she’ll be making notes for a VAWA case, including how she only felt ‘safe’ enough to meet you if it was in a public place. And you agreeing to that is just giving her more ammunition. +1.

    They’ll be sent to the address on your DS-260’s if you ticked that box. Usually received about 10 days after entry.

    The only issue is immigration, as that’s all she cares about. I know it’s hard to see the reality when you’re in the midst of it, but from what you’ve said she’s clearly never loved you and only loved the green card you could have given her.
  11. appleblossom
    Agreed. As everybody has said, she’s very clearly trying to line things up for a VAWA case. I cannot understand why the OP is continuing to allow her to manipulate him and to dictate everything. I hope the OP has cancelled the I-130. And she should be served with divorce papers asap.

    Not possible. If your son is in India then he can’t enter the US with the intent to adjust status, that would be immigration fraud.

    It was Presidents Day, a federal holiday.

    Ask yourself what you could show at your interview if asked to prove you didn’t intend to stay when you entered the US? Without a job and home, the ties you could still show to your home country are presumably minimal. Your call obviously, but there’s no way I’d risk it if it was me. Talk to the lawyer about the possible consequences of you being found to have misrepresented yourself, it wouldn’t just be a visa refusal you’d be facing.
  15. appleblossom
    No, you have to pay it online. If it was issued that long ago it must be in the system, are you absolutely sure you’re putting the right numbers in?
  16. appleblossom
    OK, you said you both had been fully vaccinated other than flu and Covid though? Hence I assumed that was a typo. People who apply for a waiver citing religious grounds usually haven’t had any vaccines at all (or if they have, only as young children, none as adults - and they haven’t given any to their children). Some consulates don’t do the varicella vaccine and so it’s waived - it was for us in London as it’s not given in the UK. I’ve no idea about Madrid but you may find the same thing, they’ll soon tell you if you are missing any vaccines though and if so you’ll be given the choice of getting them done, or a waiver. Good luck.

    Daphne is just talking about the wait for an interview, not the whole wait - the OP is already over a year in to the process.
  18. appleblossom
    You can pay afterwards, that’s fine. Odd that they can’t find it though, when was the visa issued?
  19. appleblossom
    Ooooof. So you cancelled your job and apartment before entering the US, and expect USCIS to believe that you didn’t intend to stay when you entered?! 😲 I agreed with all of the people who’ve suggested to just stick with consular processing as your I-130 is likely to be approved any day now if you applied over a year ago, and I was going to say the same thing anyway. But now you’ve said the above, I absolutely wouldn’t try to do AOS. Far too risky IMO.

    From December 2024? Or did you mean 2023? If 2023 then hopefully you’ll hear something in the spring.
  21. appleblossom
    Are you sure you can renew it? https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status/temporary-protected-status-designated-country-ethiopia

    How old is your nephew?
  23. appleblossom
    It will be a lot longer than that. Currently those that applied 18ish years ago are eligible for visas, but that category has only moved forward 3 years in the last 10. Unless things speed up considerably (unlikely, given more and more people are joining the line) then it’ll be a lot longer than 18 years for those that apply now. So it doesn’t help your nephew at all, as he will have aged out by the time your sibling is eligible for a visa anyway. But if your sibling is interested in moving to the US, then you may as well file for them now. Good luck.
  24. appleblossom
    And the rest! I’d double that as a rough estimate.

    I’d ask that attorney to put his suggestion in writing. Bet they won’t. 😂
