    Unfortunately a verbal approval means nothing. Which citizenships does your fiance hold?

    We were EB applicants so had no way to upload the new passport anyway (all of our docs had to be mailed). We just took the new one to the interview and advised the officer that he had a new passport. As I said above, loads of people get new passports in the months/years between completing the DS-260 and the interview, it’s honestly not an issue at all.

    Ah, well now that you’ve fixed it you have the VJ expected date, so hopefully that’s what you were after. 👍 Good luck with the rest of your process.

    I’m surprised you haven’t been sent a document checklist, but for now just take everything on the list for a normal spouse visa - make sure you check the country specific section too. 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 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

    Depends on the visa type and your Priority Date. Please start your own new thread giving that info and somebody will try and help.

    You’ve put F-1 (student visa) in as your visa type on your profile, is that right? You’ve posted this is the K-1 fiancé/e visa section and mention I-129 visa but there’s no such thing? There’s the I-129 form which is for various non-immigrant visas, or the I-129f form which is for the K-1. If you can clarify then somebody will be happy to help, and if you are applying for a K-1 then if you fill your timeline in with the right type of visa you’ll get more fields to complete and a better idea of where you are in the process.

    We didn't take my son's old passport to our interview. Can't see why you'd need to unless it's specified on the document checklist?
  8. appleblossom
    Cases aren't transferred to consulates until interviews are scheduled, so if it says 'at Paris/Sydney/Rio/Manila' (whatever consulate is relevant) on your online status, then I'd check your junk/spam emails as you should have had the interview letter.

    If you didn’t replace his GC when he turned 14, just FYI another obligation to be aware of is the requirement that he register for selective service within 30 days of his 18th birthday.

    You may not need to re-petition her, but I certainly wouldn’t be risking her trying to get back to the US until you know exactly what she’s applied and been denied for. She’s now drawn attention to herself, and the fact that she didn’t meet her obligations as a LPR of the US. She should have been given a formal record of the denial - a piece of paper or similar. Ask her about that and see if you can get a copy. If not then consider applying for her immigration record to see what’s happened. Then you can decide if she tries for a SB-1 or if you need to reapply for her (which would be 2 years ish, maybe 3 at a push, but certainly not 5).

    Ignore it completely, those estimates are about as much use as a chocolate teapot. Assuming that yours is a USC spousal case then you should be hearing fairly soon. Good luck.
  12. appleblossom
    You're right, you don't schedule it yourself, it's scheduled for you by NVC. Step 10 on the usual website gives you more info - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html Your wait time will depend on the consulate, could be as quick as 2 months after being DQ'ed, could be as long as 2 years. Good luck.

    But then any non-immigrant visa should be cancelled - so if the OP's B visa is still valid that would be another sign that perhaps he's not a LPR. 🤷‍♀️
  14. appleblossom
    It's not customs you'll speak to, but yes, you absolutely need to speak to the immigration officer when you arrive. You need to ask them to confirm you are being admitted as a legal permanent resident of the US, and NOT as a B visa holder/visitor. As @Crazy Cat said, you shouldn't have an I-94, if I went to check mine then nothing would show up. So there's an error somewhere, and you need to work out where.
  15. appleblossom
    Curiouser and curiouser. Did you look at your travel history on the I-94, is there a trip you made that isn't on there?
  16. appleblossom
    No need to shout. The same place you were told about many pages ago - https://egov.uscis.gov Put the receipt number in there from when you paid the fee back in February, what does that say?
  17. appleblossom
    Green card! Does it say it's 'in production' as you've been told?
  18. appleblossom
    What does the online status for your GC say? You just need to confirm they're admitting you as a LPR, not as a visitor. And then see what they say - do keep us posted.
  19. appleblossom
    You didn't speak to an officer at USCIS, you spoke to a call centre agent with next to no immigration knowledge. Did you tell them that your I-94 says you have NEVER been admitted as a permanent resident? And if you check your status for the GC, what does it say? It would say 'in production' online if that is in fact the case.
  20. appleblossom
    Do you just want to marry, or do you want to marry and then have her stay? Is she definitely on a B visa (or an ESTA)? Also, you mentioned being married in 2023, so when did you divorce and did you petition that spouse for a visa?
  21. appleblossom
    Covid 19 isn't relevant if you have been together for 4 years - by 2021 you both could have travelled. And you could have met in a third country if Bangladesh wasn't safe. You won't get a waiver now for not meeting when you've had several years to do so. I'm really sorry to hear about your fiancé, but I agree with everybody else, time to let go of the plan you had and focus on the time you have left together, even if it's not in person. Best of luck to you.
  22. appleblossom
    Really strange, sounds like an error on their end if he was given a 2 year GC and you were given a 10 year one. But you need to sort this urgently. Also, did you replace his GC when he turned 14 as required? https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-we-grant-your-green-card/replace-your-green-card
  23. appleblossom
    It’s really odd. My first thought was that maybe the OP didn’t sort his son’s GC when the child turned 14? Lawyer time IMO, they can’t mess around with this.
  24. appleblossom
    Afraid I’ve no idea, this doesn’t make much sense. If the OP only has 30 days to respond then I think an urgent lawyer consultation is the way to go.
  25. appleblossom
    And if they say yes, ask the officer to endorse the visa then, as at the moment if you are a LPR you have no proof of that status. Good luck.
