    No way of knowing unfortunately, it will depend on the reason for the extra background checks.

    Yep, PD is the I-140 sent date, DQ is Packet 4 I think. And you can search timelines at the top of the page, filter it by EB and consulate to find ones specific to Montreal. The more people that add their data, the better!

    Please fill it in on your profile with your timeline too - that way we all contribute to the stats and knowledge here on VJ. Thanks.

    Ah, ok. So once you’ve got the I-130 approval, follow the steps from 2 onwards on the link above. Forget the medical until close to the interview - the visa will only be valid for 6 months from the date of the medical, so you need to wait for that. Good luck.

    If it's genuine and you can prove it, then that's one thing. But if you are only doing it to stay in the US then that would be immigration fraud, and could result in a permanent ban, or your GC/citizenship being taken away even if it's discovered years/decades later. So make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.

    As @OldUser said above, you're looking at the wrong process if he's in India. You need to follow the step by step instructions here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html Not sure which step you're at, has the I-130 been approved?

    I added mine to autofill so just typed the first letter and it popped up. 😂

    She’d have got the same update by simply using the case checker page from USCIS. Unless it offers anything extra, I can’t see any point in using an app that does the same thing.
  9. appleblossom
    Your previous posts say you filed for them years ago? What happened to that? Are you sure it’s the I-130 you mean?
  10. appleblossom
    Once they are done they'll be in touch.
  11. appleblossom
    It's not a good sign or a bad sign. It just means they're doing the necessary checks, as I said above.
  12. appleblossom
    Yes! Never known it be accurate for anybody, all it does is cause worry and I wish they’d scrap it. Just for one case though? Hopefully the other approval will be along soon. 🤞
  13. appleblossom
    OK, so not current yet. At the moment the wait for an interview in Lima is pretty short (approx 4 months) once a visa is available, but your sister could still be several years away from that, so I wouldn't worry about it now as that may well change between now and then. Good luck.
  14. appleblossom
    The link for what? The Priority Date will be on the receipt, it's essentially the date you applied.
  15. appleblossom
    What EB category are you? Please do fill in your timeline to 'pay it forward' and help others, thanks. IL's for EB applicants will be slowing down considerably now until the new Fiscal Year.
  16. appleblossom
    Ah. In which case I have no idea, but I'm going to tag @pushbrk as he is the guru for self employed applicants, hopefully he can help.
  17. appleblossom
    It’s not AGI, it’s total income. Line 9 of the 1040 IIRC. Is that well in excess of the figure needed?
  18. appleblossom
    It’s the total income figure on your 1040 they look at, is that $100k?
  19. appleblossom
    What’s the PD, country of birth and which consulate?
  20. appleblossom
    You’ll need to add him on CEAC - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing/ceac-faqs.html#ceac16 DQ isn’t relevant until you’ve paid fees, uploaded docs etc for all applicants. Only once you’ve done that will you be DQ’ed, and then it will be back to waiting for a visa to ge available. Good luck.
  21. appleblossom
    Just upload the birth certs again. Sounds like you might need to rescan your Moms. For the income, are you self employed? How many in your household?
  22. appleblossom
    It's under 21 on entry, not the date of marriage. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/child-status-protection-act-cspa So that might buy you a little more time.
  23. appleblossom
    Presumably grandmother petitioned her son under F1 or F3 - and those categories do allow for derivatives.
  24. appleblossom
    I've asked above, what do you currently do for a job? Is it relevant to your friend's company? You still can't adjust, as you have to be in the US legally to do so for employment based adjustment.
  25. appleblossom
    Right, and as I said above you paying child support and alimony is even more evidence that you're separated. So no, you can't use the marriage to try and adjust, you need to find another option. If you are genuinely stateless (although you say you've had a Serbian passport above, so that seems to contradict that?) then you could explore some kind of refugee status with a really good lawyer. If not, then work, or waiting 8 years or so to get a green card via your child, seem to be the only options, but neither are going to mean you can stay now so you need to get your statelessness/citizenship sorted asap. There are charities that can help with that side of things, for example - https://www.unhcr.org/us/about-unhcr/who-we-protect/stateless-people Best of luck.
