    It’s on your profile, thanks.

    That’s good, I was thinking it’s tough enough for Nigerians to get a F1 without adding a US based sibling in to the mix as well!

    I suspect it was taking up space, you said you couldn’t message me but I don’t have any restrictions on messages so it must have been a size issue for the message. But in any event, there’s really no need to be like that when somebody is kindly trying to help you for free. If you want somebody to look at your docs and give you advice then a lawyer would be the way to go instead. But you might want to confirm who owns what, as this is your wife’s petition. And you say ‘I’ - so what is in her name?

    If it’s only been 2 weeks then that’s not 55 days so probably just too early. He should keep checking though. Are you in the US?
  5. appleblossom
    You’re not, please fill in up to this point (I-140 etc). It’s still very helpful. So if you’re EB1C you don’t require AOS, but you do require other docs from your employer as it’s not self petitioned. Your company's lawyers will prepare the docs and help you with that. Good luck.

    How long has he been trying to get an interview? It’s currently showing 200+ day wait for F1 interviews in Lagos. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html

    Yes, that’s right for EB1A, we’re self petitioned. But other EB cases aren’t, and I know this is a thread for EB1A applicants but @A.K.D. hasn't specified which type of EB case he’s asking about. This is part of the reason it’s so important for us all to fill in our timelines - partly because then we’d know what kind of case people are asking about, but also to pay it forward and help all of the other EB applicants out there. Please fill yours in too, thx.

    It would only be a guess as nobody knows what will happen in the future. But you’re looking at at least 10 years for F2B, if your parents filed now, and for EB2 you probably have a similar time left. The one advantage of EB2 is that you could get married and take a future spouse with you, unlike F2B. But personally I’d get your parents to petition you as well, so you have multiple options and can then go with whichever becomes current first. No need for a lawyer though, just the filing fees.

    Only some EB cases are. @A.K.D., is yours EB1A or another EB category? Please fill in your timeline, thx.

    It is crazy, I requested ours online and got them sent via email just a few hours later! I’ve no idea why it would take longer than a few days, hopefully the OP will get them soon and save having to pay for the titre test.

    That’s very odd, he must have one unless he opted out. https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/gps/view-your-gp-health-record/ In any event, he’s entitled to a copy of his medical records, but he does need to ask (not you). Not sure how long ago you requested them, but I think they have 40 days to supply them.
  12. appleblossom
    He can usually download his Summary Care Record himself on the NHS app, he doesn’t need it from the GP.

    She would need to be resident in the country, just being a visitor wouldn’t be enough usually, although she can of course ask. She can ask anytime - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#ivp13 She won’t be given an interview waiver for an immigrant visa.

    It’s not the same at all. DQ is a NVC specific thing, plenty of people are DQ’ed and then found ineligible at the consulate stage. Nobody needs to see your documents, pls don’t message private info like that to anybody. It sounds like @pushbrk just needs to know the source of the income, whose income it is, what evidence you provided - assets, salary, pensions, joint sponsor etc etc.
  15. appleblossom
    This is the most recent one I can find, looks like about 18 months - https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=298563 That was a year ago though, but may give you an idea at least. Please fill in your own timeline as well, thanks.
  16. appleblossom
    NVC said you were DQ’ed, not the consulate, two different entities. The consulate have complete discretion over deciding if you’re financially eligible or not. If you can stick to the facts and give full details of what you’ve provided then somebody can help you work out how to overcome it, chucking insults around isn’t going to help. @pushbrk is amazing when it comes to this stuff, but as he said he needs to know ‘the nature of the sources of income’.

    It’s not a case of her aging out on the CR1, she couldn’t come with her parent at all. There are no dependents for a CR1, she’d need you to file a I-130 for her - and that’s only possible if you married her father before she turned 18 which you obviously haven’t if she’s 19 now. So the only option would be for your husband to petition her after he’s arrived in the US on his immigrant visa, and it will then take many more years after that before she gets her own immigrant visa. So if you want her to come with your spouse, you absolutely have to stick with the K1.

    They only filed last March. This isn’t relevant to your case though - I can’t see how there would be a waiver available to you unless you there are other details of your case that you’ve not mentioned. If so, ask on your current thread and those in the know can help.

    Please fill in your timeline to help others, thanks.

    So have you had two rejection notices? Or was this the only one? Get rid of that ‘lawyer’ and get a full refund from her! The fees changed on 1st April, if she wasn’t aware of something so basic 8 months later that’s appalling.
  21. appleblossom
    As above, up to 90 days but most get it after about 6 weeks. You can track them now using the payment receipt number.
  22. appleblossom
    It certainly won’t be 11. You need to check here and see how the times are going, currently 16.5 months - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
  23. appleblossom
    Yes, it’s separate, it can only be paid once the visa is issued. I don’t know if it’s new, it’s certainly been around for a few years but not sure about further back than that.
  24. appleblossom
    Snap! Posted at the same time. USCIS do send a fee reminder if it’s not paid, but not usually for a while.
  25. appleblossom
    Step 12 on the link above - What do I need to do before I travel? You must pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) after you receive your immigrant visa and before you travel to the United States. Only children who enter the United States under the Orphan or Hague adoption programs, Iraqi and Afghan special immigrants, returning residents (SB-1s), and those issued K visas are exempt from this fee. Please visit the USCIS website for more information and to pay the fee.  Please Note: USCIS will not issue a Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551 or Green Card) until you have paid the fee.
