You may not have an online access code, not everybody does. It will depend on how you applied. But when did he enter the US on his immigrant visa, and when did you pay the green card fee? Edit: looks like he's only just entered? Have another read of your previous thread, he isn't due to get his green card until up to 90 AFTER he's entered the US on his visa, so still another couple of months for it to potentially be received. You can check the status online (your online account won't help with that anyway). You need to do the case status checker and that will tell you when the card is in production, when it's been produced, when it's been shipped etc - https://egov.uscis.gov

USCIS does do interviews, but not in a consular processing case. But I think it was your comment about your 'EB1A visa' being approved in Jan 2025 that @Boiler was commenting on, as that wasn't a visa application, just the petition. The visa application was the DS-260 and that can't be approved without an interview. As said above, if you were only DQ'ed in April then that's why you haven't had an IL yet, but it shouldn't be too much longer. Hopefully you should have the visa by the end of the year. If you could fill your timeline in when you get a moment (on your profile) that would be super helpful. There aren't many of us EB1A applicants around, so the more data we have to add to the body of knowledge on VJ, the better. Good luck.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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?

What's the reason for the I-824? Processing time is here - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

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.

If she's in the US then she must have already had them taken on entry, so they won't usually need them again.

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.

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.

OK, and your husband is a green card holder, that's how you're adjusting status? When was your I-130 approved?

*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?

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.

No, there are no visas available until the new fiscal year.
