    Is he in the US and just waiting for his plastic green card to arrive? Or outside the US and waiting for his immigrant visa? It’s the date he enters the US on the visa that counts.

    Did she not have those for her interview? If she is put in to AP then there is nothing you can do. But if they just need reminding about her case then it’s worth contacting them asap.

    It’s up to them to decide what services they offer and for what price, and if they only want to offer full medicals for US immigration they can choose to do so. Customers can decide if they want to use them or go elsewhere.

    What documents did you have to submit? I wouldn’t wait to chase it with a potential travel ban looming for Iranians. There’s not a lot you can do if your mother has been put in to AP, but hopefully that’s not the case and they may just need a nudge to look at the docs and issue the visa. Good luck.

    Even if you were a legal citizen (you’re not - it was obtained fraudulently and will be revoked at some point in the figure) you’d have no ‘right’ to bring your children here. Plenty of people aren’t eligible to petition their relatives, it’s not a right at all.

    DQ is about 10 days after you have submitted everything at the moment - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html DQ to interview is about 4 months or so. https://ca.usembassy.gov/immigrant-visa-process/ So maybe interview in the summer as a rough guide. If your wife is eligible it may be worth her looking at getting Canadian citizenship so she doesn’t lose her PR? Good luck.

    OK, that’s good as it’s not a consulate with a super long wait. Do please fill in your timeline! Then we have all the info when you ask a question, it also helps others too.

    For the USC? OK, probably not that common but you can hunt around the forums and see what others have said. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-1-part-a-chapter-5 Which consulate? Remember that even if the I-130 is expedited you’ll need to request expedition again with NVC and the consulate.

    OK, so hopefully approval in the summer. What are the grounds for expediting?
  10. appleblossom
    You’ll find people who have expedited, but whether their experience would be relevant to you or not would depend on your reason for an expedite i.e. if it’s medical grounds etc. When did you submit the I-130? Please fill in your timeline as well? It helps people help you, and pays it forward to others as well.

    You got a green card that you weren’t eligible for, and then citizenship that you weren’t eligible for either. As @nastra30 said, it will be a long drawn out process before your citizenship is revoked and you’re deported. Your call, but if it was me I would just return to my home country rather than facing the stress and expense of all of that, and to reunite with my children much sooner too.

    No, they don’t email but you can confirm with them, it usually only takes a few days. You can also check your case status online. When’s your interview?
  13. appleblossom
    Ignore the ‘My Progess’ tab completely, it’s never accurate. Current I-130 processing time is approx 16 months so assume around then unless you can get an expedite. Best of luck.
  14. appleblossom
    Yes, you can file it. Some people think it helps. There’s still a long way to go though, can you plan a visit with each other so that you have something to look forward to and break up the wait maybe?
  15. appleblossom
    No, not until the EAD is in hand. That’s one of the downsides of the K1, and why many people choose to do a spousal visa instead, so they can work immediately upon arrival to the US. @Crazy Cat has an excellent comparison of the two routes -
  16. appleblossom
    OK, so no, the great-grandchildren can’t be included. The grandchildren may have aged out as well, it will depend on their ages and how long the I-130 took to be approved.
  17. appleblossom
    Which visa category? Is the petitioner a US citizen or green card holder? And who exactly have they petitioned?
  18. appleblossom
    Marketplace just makes it easier to see it all in one place, but a new immigrant isn’t usually going to qualify for anything like Medicaid anyway. You can go direct to the companies on there though. You can check online, it will depend on age, location, etc, but I’d budget somewhere between $1000 and $2000 a month.
  19. appleblossom
    It was only expedited a couple of weeks ago. You can see the criteria here, but tbh there’s no point with London as it’s super quick anyway so an expedite isn’t likely to be make any difference. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#ivp7

    No, she’ll be able to do it in Montreal if she’s resident in Canada.
  21. appleblossom
    There wouldn't have been an issue if you’d been honest, but sounds like you weren’t. So yes, there may be an issue, but all you can do is wait and see. There’s no set time and no next step, other than just waiting it out. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    The next step for what? Please fill in your timeline, thanks.
  23. appleblossom
    It’s for people that haven’t paid, it will cover all sorts of visas so the box is there for others that do have to pay. The fact that it’s greyed out on your view says you have paid.
  24. appleblossom
    Of course it is. The fact that she’s talking about feeling ‘safe’ tells you all you need to know - she’ll be making notes for a VAWA case, including how she only felt ‘safe’ enough to meet you if it was in a public place. And you agreeing to that is just giving her more ammunition. +1.

    They’ll be sent to the address on your DS-260’s if you ticked that box. Usually received about 10 days after entry.
