    Generally towards the end of the month, but again it can vary. Please fill your timeline to add to the body of knowledge on VJ, thanks!

    But most people have a phone, so in effect they do have a home scanner, just a smaller one!

    The visa being granted is one thing, but the time it takes to get that visa after the interview is another. Admin Processing can sometimes take months or even years. Is she Italian? If she is, and no links to higher fraud countries, and nothing else in her background that might raise a red flag, then hopefully a long AP isn't likely. I still would never quit a job until I had the visa in hand personally. But it may be different for you it would be ok if she wasn't able to work for a chunk of time - if financially you'd be ok then maybe she could take the risk. Good luck.

    How can you be sure? She wouldn't have been notified if he had, and it would be VERY unusual for him to just leave it and be happy to be on the hook for her for the next 10+ years if they've divorced. Are they still in contact? Can she ask him?

    For what kind of case? Your profile says K-1 but you’ve posted this in the spousal visa forum?

    Are you petitioning a parent too? It’s always best to ask any questions on your own new thread, but you just 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 Good luck.

    Shared that in my post above.

    In my post above! So if DQ'ed in Feb 2024 she should get an IL in about 6 months, so her interview is likely to be around July/August next year as a rough guide.

    Hang on, 2024 or 2023? You said 2023 in your first post? It's normal if it's 2024, as I said above it's not forwarded to the consulate until after an interview has been scheduled. And currently those DQ'ed in August 2023 are being scheduled for interviews now, so it's a 2 year 3 month wait. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html So if she was DQ'ed in 2024, you've still got a way to go. If she was DQ'ed in 2023, you should have an interview letter a few months ago and something isn't right.

    What does her online status say? You said the case has been forwarded to the consulate, and that should only happen AFTER the interview letter is received. So how do you know it's at the consulate?
  12. appleblossom
    That's odd, she should have had an interview quite a while ago. Currently those DQ'ed in August 2023 are being scheduled for interviews. When you say it's been forwarded to Ghana, how do you know that, is that what her online status says? When did that happen? Are you sure you haven't missed the interview email, has she checked junk/spam folders?
  13. appleblossom
    I’m sure they have. Sydney does a lot less immigrant visa issuances compared to other consulates, so you just may not come across anybody on social media as there won’t be many of you around. But it’s usually spot on.

    Sept currently being scheduled. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html

    He'd also have been confirmed, so his certificate from that would be good evidence.
  16. appleblossom
    You can't submit it early, it's a waiver of inadmissibility, so first he has to be found inadmissible. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-601instr.pdf Yes, he'll need to provide his medical records anyway for the medical, so that will show that he's not been vaccinated. I'm not sure how him being a Christian means there is an issue with vaccines? But he'd need to get evidence of it not aligning with his beliefs (whatever text from the Bible etc), plus instead of sworn testimonies from his family members, I'd suggest one from his vicar outlining why he can't get vaccinated due to his religious beliefs. Good luck.

    Try that then, that's what it says to do if you need to reschedule on the consulate specific instructions - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/BMB-Mumbai.html

    **Thread moved to Waivers & Admin Processing forum as question relates to that** As long as you can prove that he's not had other vaccines and show evidence of his religion, then you might be ok without a lawyer. Is he a Jehovah's Witness? He needs to be deemed inadmissible first for the waiver, so you'll have to wait until after his interview. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/charts/i-601chart.pdf Luckily London's pretty quick so if you're DQ'ed soon he should have his interview in early 2026 (some other consulates have a 2+ year wait just for an interview, so you'd be looking at potentially another 4 years if he was at a backlogged consulate!).

    **Thread Moved to CR-1/IR-1 forum as this is a spousal application**

    Unfortunately not. His mother would need to petition him once she's a green card holder, and it will take quite a while. **Thread Moved to Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America**

    VJ is very much a DIY website, so most people don't use a lawyer, but you can of course ask the community if there is something you're not sure on. Are you using the guide/instructions for the I-130? Make sure you download those and use them in conjunction with the form.
  23. appleblossom
    I would just ask yourself if you'd be happy to move to Ghana if his application was refused. If the answer is yes, then crack on, marry and apply. But if the answer is no, then I'd go with the safer option of him returning and you marrying/applying for his visa at a later date. Remember that if he does return to Ghana and you apply via consular processing, he can still visit you in the interim (which also helps build up more evidence of it being a bona fide relationship). Best of luck to you.

    It may well not have arrived by then anyway, it can take up to 4 months. But if it does then yes, just get it mailed to you. Make sure it's couriered by a traceable service, not just USPS.

    I think she's already divorced from what the OP's said. So the question is, is she out of status now and already accruing unlawful presence - has the ex-husband pulled the I-864/1-485 and/or informed USCIS of the divorce?
