    Being in F2B category doesn't preclude you from adjusting status, plenty of people do.

    Has your fiancée visited the US previously - if so did she require a waiver then? Also, worth noting that it's the ACRO police cert that will be required, in addition to the SAR.

    If your interview is 1st then I wouldn’t book a flight for the 11th unless it’s fully refundable. It’s usually quicker than the two weeks the consulate quotes (I had my passport back 4 working days after my interview), and extended AP is unusual for London applicants, but still risky.

    I assume you couldn’t adjust status? If you get put in to AP it can take months or even years. But you can request your passport back.

    I think he should have been eligible to adjust status in 2023 then? But now you’ve moved him in to F1 category, his parent really should have stayed a LPR. I don’t think you can now switch back unfortunately but I would suggest consulting a lawyer. It’s possible you can appeal the original I-485 decision. Good luck.

    I don’t think there was a USCIS error, sounds like your son aged out in to F2B so wasn’t eligible to adjust status in 2023. But without knowing exact dates (including his DOB) we can’t say for sure. He’s now F1 category so at least 3 years or so from being able to apply to adjust. Which country was he born in?

    Unfortunately, as @Dashinka said expedites are usually only considered when it’s the USC petitioner at risk, beneficiaries circumstances aren’t really relevant. It’s a real shame that the current administration has cancelled the U4U program (which your parents could have used to move to the US and wait whilst their IV apps were being processed). Can your parents move elsewhere, somewhere safer? Perhaps another country in Europe, or a different region of Ukraine? I wish them and you the best, and hope they stay safe.

    Mine came and went but it’s utterly useless anyway. Example - last week the day before approval it said 16 months to go. Then approval the next day and it changed to 27 months to go. 😂
  9. appleblossom
    It’s optional anyway, just leave it blank. Only if filing a paper app though - if you file online the account gets created as part of that.

    Not having anything in your name is really odd and I think will definitely raise flags. Is your name not on the mortgage or lease? Do you not have any bank account you can access? Tax docs? Property or car insurance? If not then think outside the box and look at other stuff - life insurance? Vet bills for any pets? Your will?

    But nobody can come as an immigrant on a non-immigrant visa? So that wouldn’t make any sense. Hopefully it’ll get clarified soon.
  12. appleblossom
    It also says ‘as immigrants’ though? Presumably that means immigrant visas, so it would be odd if fiancés are permitted but spouses aren’t.
  13. appleblossom
    Where are you checking a box? Question 3.a. of which form? How long did the I-130 take to be approved and what age is the child now?
  14. appleblossom
    The only way you'll know is when you actually get the letter giving you the reasons for refusal. Easier said than done I know, but I'd just wait until then rather than trying to guess.
  15. appleblossom
    Did you ever set an online account up? If not, then you won't have one, and can ignore that question.
  16. appleblossom
    Is your wife the beneficiary or petitioner? As said above, it’s only the USC that is relevant to the expedite request. I doubt those would be valid reasons (look at how many choose to live in California at risk of major earthquake!) but it’s free to ask so you might as well give it a try.
  17. appleblossom
    I suspect it means that as I guessed above you’ve missed the cut off for May - i.e. they’re scheduling for those DQ’ed before then, letters being sent now are for those in late April and early May. If you were DQ’ed on 19th May then I think you were too late for a May IL but will get one in June, for a Sept interview. So not long to wait now. Good luck.
  18. appleblossom
    Depends on the consulate. Could be a couple of months until they get an interview, could be a couple of years (or anywhere in between). Good luck, hope they’re not at a consulate with a big backlog.

    If it helps, ours was received overnight, we received it at 1.09am so woke up to find it in our inbox, but others have had it later or earlier. Please do fill in your timeline to 'pay it forward', thanks.

    It's not about being in a hurry or not, it's about being eligible. If the program is cancelled then there will be no way to stay and do AOS.
  21. appleblossom
    I've certainly heard of lot of petitions being refused for errors, and people having to refile. Not sure about the signature specifically though. It would be much quicker/easier to just refile, and there's not much difference in cost so I really can't see any advantage to the I-290b personally, but your call. Best of luck.
  22. appleblossom
    But you have no grounds to have it reopened. It was correctly denied, so I don't see how a I-290b would work personally.
  23. appleblossom
    How can you forget your birthday?!? That makes no sense. You'll have to provide official documentation to back up the date of birth you gave too i.e. your passport and birth certificate. So if it's different you'll be out of luck, KCC won't give it out to you as they see many fraudulent cases and some people 'buy' a winning entry, so they will expect you to know your own DOB and what you put on your original entry.
  24. appleblossom
    Sorry but I don't understand what you're asking. You wrote KCC for what? Exactly what stage are you at, and where did you forget to write your DOB? Also, which country are you from?
  25. appleblossom
    Yep, if mistake was on your part then another vote for just filing again. A I-290b would only be relevant if the mistake was on USCIS's side.
