    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.
  2. appleblossom
    Application for what?
  3. appleblossom
    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.
  4. appleblossom
    Married filing separately? Or just single? One is really not good news, the other is fine.

    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.

    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?
  7. appleblossom
    Please start your own thread, it's not fair to hijack the OP's with your questions.
  8. appleblossom
    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.
  9. appleblossom
    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 -

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Found where? Unless it’s from a legit source then ignore it (particularly if it’s AI, which is totally unreliable).
  15. appleblossom
    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.
  16. appleblossom
    He has to live in Canada, he can’t move to the US until he has the visa.
  17. appleblossom
    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.
  18. appleblossom
    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.

    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.

    This recent thread asked the same thing, so might be useful -
  21. appleblossom
    If you're adjusting status, it's not IR1. That's a visa, you're not applying for a visa, you're applying for a green card. Hence why the IR1/CR1 sub forum isn't relevant to your situation, that's for people outside the US who are applying for a visa to move here. You're already in the US and adjusting status. Two different routes.
  22. appleblossom
    No, it's for anybody adjusting from a work, tourist or student visa.
  23. appleblossom
    No problem. Your duplicate thread in the CR1/IR1 sub forum has been removed, as that's not relevant to you. This is the right sub forum for any questions you have about your process. Good luck with it.
  24. appleblossom
    **Thread moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student and Tourist Visas forum as it's not a spousal visa application** Current processing times are here - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ How did you apply for AOS, via a USC spouse?
  25. appleblossom
    It is, again it's a commitment she'd have to make if she did want a green card. If she really wants to keep her LPR status, then records of a job and filing taxes would help if there was every any doubt. One Saturday afternoon a week would do it though, she doesn't have to get a full-time job! No idea where you're reading that, but it's not true. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/B5en.pdf As I said above, indefinitely. She'd just need to make sure she logged in to CEAC or take another action at least once a year.
