  1. For your parents I mean. Your profile says Yemen, but Riyadh consulate, which country are your parents citizens of?
  2. When you say ‘nothing since’, you mean since the I-797? Just checking you have received that!
  3. We don’t even know what stage of the process you’re at as you haven’t filled in your timeline, please do. But assuming you’ve submitted the I-130 and it’s not been approved yet then next stage will either be approval, a RFE, or NOID.
  4. OK, and you can prove you were going back for a job or similar, with a leave of absence just for a vacation? You didn't give up your home or sell your car? Just that in the current climate and administration I'd make sure you have plenty of evidence that you didn't intend to stay when you entered, particularly as you entered together. It may be seen as suspicious that your fiancée was planning on leaving you to go and live in another country. As long as you've got evidence of your plan to return to overcome any doubts, and you're happy to not work for quite some time, then go for it. Follow the guide CrazyCat gave you above, and best of luck.
  5. Here you go - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Good luck.
  6. So did you both return together with the intention of staying in the US? Or she returned and then you visited her later on? Just wanted to clarify as it could be either from what you've written here.
  7. Your timeline is the crucial thing to fill in - on your profile. Then you'll be contributing towards the body of knowledge on VJ, but also get more accurate info and answers too. Good luck.
  8. Ooof. Well that's not good news for your visa application, but more importantly she's technically committed perjury by filing as single when she's actually married. https://www.irs.gov/filing/filing-status She needs to amend her returns asap.
  9. Married filing separately? Or just single? One is really not good news, the other is fine.
  10. It's a bad article, I read one yesterday that was much more comprehensive. She was on a visa I hadn't heard of before, I think it was from her employment in a youth detention centre, and applying for a GC via VAWA. Can't recall now but I'll see if I can find the article, it was probably the BBC as I tend not to read US new sources.
  11. Sounds like you're just in AP and have to wait it out. Your wife can visit you in the interim though. Did you not take those documents to the interview? What does your case status say? Is there a big age gap between you and your wife?
  12. Please start your own thread, it's not fair to hijack the OP's with your questions.
  13. You've posted this on an unrelated thread - start your own new thread, and give more info about what kind of visa, what documents you had to send in, etc, then somebody will try and help.
  14. And it will only be approved if you have a basis for adjustment. You don't at the moment. One idea is to try calling in to Jim Hacking -
  15. That sounds like AI nonsense, again don't use it for immigration advice! It also sounds like it's asking about non-payment of child support, not paying it, which shows that you are separated. Only go to the official source or a proper lawyer, I'm guessing that the ones that screwed you over weren't legit. Make sure whoever you use is a member of AILA, and ask if they have experience in dealing with similar cases to yours. And as said above, you need to get your citizenship sorted urgently. Start that asap.
  16. Your employer will need to make a case for it to be expedited. NVC schedules your interview, as per the usual website - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html. If you have any other questions do start a new thread and somebody will be happy to help I'm sure. Good luck.
  17. Looks like OP has an interview scheduled at end of September, if you check his/her timeline. It probably would have been a bit quicker if the quota wasn't about to be reached, but they have presumably scheduled it for then as no visas will be able to be issued until the new fiscal year anyway. So probably no different to a non expedited case would have been. Edit: looks like you're EB3? So yours would be very different, you'd need the company to make a case for an expedite (versus the OP who's self petitioning). What's your PD and are you 'normal' EB3 or other workers? If you could fill your timeline in as well that would be super helpful, thanks.
  18. Perfectly normal. It's actually moved a lot more this year (it didn't move a single day throughout all of 2022 and 2023). It's getting towards the end of the fiscal year and just means they've got enough applicants prior to the current date to be dealing with for now.
  19. Found where? Unless it’s from a legit source then ignore it (particularly if it’s AI, which is totally unreliable).
  20. Its fine. But he doesn’t get a visa until right at the end of the process (step 12 I think?). So not until then.
  21. He has to live in Canada, he can’t move to the US until he has the visa.
  22. You won’t be applying via adjustment of status. That’s a different thing. You’ll marry and then apply for your immigrant visa via consular processing. Follow this step by step guide - 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 There’s also a good VJ guide at the top of the page. You can’t move to the US until you have your visa, although you can continue to visit whilst it’s processed. Good luck.
  23. Assuming he’s outside the US and will be applying for his visa via Montreal? So you get married, then file the I-130 as the first step. Once that’s approved (approx 14-17 months unless things change between now and then) you’ll start with step 2 onwards on 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 There's also a good VJ guide at the top of the page. After 3 years of living in the US on his green card he’ll be able to apply for citizenship. Good luck.
  24. Assume this is in response to me asking you to complete your timeline? It's on your profile, click on that and then you can fill it in and it adds to the VJ body of knowledge which is super helpful, thanks.
