    From previous posts, I think that the OP means their petition has been approved - they haven’t applied for the visa yet.
  2. appleblossom
    OK, so yes she can petition her daughter, and you can be joint sponsors to help financially. But just to manage your expectations, there's pretty much no chance of her daughter getting a visa within 2 years. There's a waiting period for F2A applicants to get a visa. Currently those who applied in August 2022 or earlier are now becoming eligible for visas - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-august-2025.html

    When you say your stepdaughter has 'her residency', what exactly do you mean? Is she a green card holder? And what do you mean 'parole', do you mean a re-entry permit? I'm assuming both of those but just want to confirm. Where is your stepdaughter now? Grandparents can't petition a grandchild, but you could be a joint sponsor if your daughter petitioned her child, if she doesn't meet the financial requirements on her own.

    OK, so an interview middle of next year probably, just keep an eye on your online account and make sure it's not switched back to F2B at any point. Good luck.

    That's a step in the right direction, but just be prepared to argue your case at the interview - would be worth taking proof of you being put in F2B showing that you couldn't pursue the visa just in case you need it. Which consulate?
  6. appleblossom
    As you say, it’s not available and it says that on the NVC country specific guidelines. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/SaudiArabia.html ”Exceptions: Police clearances are unavailable for third country nationals who no longer reside in the Kingdom.” So you can’t provide something you can’t get. I’d just print a copy of the relevant page out and take it with you just in case.

    **Thread moved to AoS from K1 visa forum, as OP has already got the K-1 visa and is now going through the AoS process**
  8. appleblossom
    So you met and married on the same trip?
  9. appleblossom
    I’m also confused. Why do you think you need a letter from your doctor? To say what?
  10. appleblossom
    Things must have changed, it’s pretty quick now! Only 4 months or so from DQ to IL, other consulates are 1-2+ years. And all consulates can take months to review things that need to be sent in after an interview or complete AP (or years even). That’s not Manila specific. But yes, I agree that having a joint sponsor just in case would be the most sensible solution. Fingers crossed it won’t be needed but better to be prepared if the OP has a willing family member/friend.

    She won’t be sent anything in the mail by NVC. Her welcome letter and interview letter both come via email - see the link I gave you on your other thread that gives you info on each step of the process.
  12. appleblossom
    Oh, ok - best to stick to the March thread then, rather than derail this one, but you've still got a while to go. Good luck.
  13. appleblossom
    It shouldn't be in Missouri at all, it's just that your receipt notice came from there. But check your online status. Charlotte is 8 months processing time on average so if you only applied in May, still a little while to go. Good luck.
  14. appleblossom
    Yes, which just does all the admin. It has no relevance to your field office.
  15. appleblossom
    Receipt letter from (Lee's Summit) Missouri is normal, they're all sent from there for paper filings, lots of admin is done there. That shouldn't be the Field Office processing your case if you live in NC. Can you check your online status, if so what does that say?
  16. appleblossom
    It should just be your local field office, are you saying your receipt notice says Missouri but you live elsewhere?
  17. appleblossom
    No idea, but hopefully somebody else can help! Good luck with the visa process.

    You were banned on here? It won't have been adding a timeline that got you banned, but no idea why then - it's usually those suspected of spamming etc. Maybe site admin can take a look for you if you give your previous username.
  19. appleblossom
    Glad you sorted it. It would be super helpful if you could add the info to your timeline, as most people don't look at signatures but the timelines are incredibly helpful and all add to the body of knowledge on VJ. Thanks and good luck.
  20. appleblossom
    If it was only produced yesterday, it'll take a few days to be packaged and put in the mail usually. So just keep an eye on Informed Delivery and I'm sure it will show up there soon. Good luck.
  21. appleblossom
    It would depend on the category. You can check current timescales here though - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html
  22. appleblossom
    It seems far too wordy and emotional to me - I realise that of course it's mainly emotion based for you, but that won't get you a waiver. You need to give facts about the hardship and evidence to support that. So shorten it down, focus on the financial/medical hardship to the USC etc, and provide evidence of that to support your claim. If you can get a lawyer to help you with the application, I would. Best of luck.
  23. appleblossom
    Sorry, not sure which information you mean? If it’s the interview wait then it’s here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html

    That's still really, really quick. Most people don't get married after such a short time together, who's pushing for marriage so early in the relationship? Can I suggest you go back and read your previous thread again, and remember how you were scammed before and nearly lost your house and church over it? It would be awful to make the same mistake again - not saying that's definitely what's happening, but it's worth looking at with that mindset. Best of luck to you.
  25. appleblossom
    You did say you wanted candour, so I'm afraid I'm going to be a bit blunt. You got sucked in before by somebody that clearly wasn't legit, and this is ringing alarm bells and sounds like exactly the same thing is happening again. I'm not saying it's definitely fake on her side, but she's several decades younger than you and desperately needs a way to be able to stay in the US. How did you meet this woman?
