    No way it’ll be that quick, those will only be non-immigrant visas. Even the quickest consulates are 3-4 months, some as long as 2+ yrs. I don’t know where Abu Dhabi falls in that range but you can search the forum for timelines. Good luck.

    Not necessarily the consulate. From the link above: "We will alert you via SMS and email when your passport is ready to be picked up (see Step 1 for information about the required online registration for this service". I'm not the OP, so it's not relevant to me. But just had a vague recollection I'd seen on VJ about people going to collect their passports for Lagos so checked the webpage above which seems to say the same. But could well be out of date info maybe.

    OK, so you'll put your Canadian address then if that's where you live most of the time.

    Are you sure? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/LGS-Lagos.html

    It's usually just on her Summary Care Record which she can request via email from her GP, or even download herself from the NHS app if she has that. Yes and yes. It'll probably be other ones that we don't normally have in the UK too i.e. Hep B, unless she got them somewhere else of course.

    A waiver is available but there is pretty much no chance of it being granted if she's had vaccinations in the past. She can locate her vaccine records from her GP in the UK, or just have a titre test to check for immunity and find out which ones she needs.

    Which country is your sister's address in, Canada? If you only stay there in the summer it would be odd to put that as your address, that is just a vacation place. Where do you pay bills/pay taxes/actually live/have a lease for?
  8. appleblossom
    Ah. Without the year I thought you meant June 2008!
  9. appleblossom
    The people you've tagged also haven't been on the forum for a year or so. You can look at their profiles and see if they are still active members or not. People will respond when they can.

    I've only just spotted your PD - is that a typo?
  11. appleblossom
    It's nothing to do with the consulate any longer, they don't process AP. AP can't be expedited but you can file a WoM if you want to try and force them to make a decision.

    Mike left the forum last year, see his most recent post (scroll down). https://www.visajourney.com/profile/308549-mike-e/ But I'm sure somebody will help if/when they can. Good luck.

    Ah, didn't realise you were expedited, I thought things had just sped up hugely in Lagos (I know it was a couple of years wait for an interview). Thanks for clarifying and good luck.

    But has the DS-260 been submitted? You said you're still 'working on it', hence the question. Birth certificates from which country?

    If you're spending a year at school then presumably you have school vacations, so why not just come back to the US then? That would then mean your continuous residence requirement wouldn't be reset. My daughter is at college overseas but has 7 months of studies and 5 months of vacation that she will be spending in the US each year. Otherwise, as Boiler said, you'd have to wait to be eligible again before you can file. AP will mean you don't lose your LPR status, but doesn't help with maintaining continuous residence.

    OK, so looking at the most recent CR1/IR1 cases via Nigeria, this is the person with the most recent interview date I can find. Looks like they were DQ'ed last December and had an interview in September if that gives you an idea. https://www.visajourney.com/profile/477348-yommicy/ Good luck.

    There's no need to be defensive, it was just a question. A consular processing application would have made far more sense given your situation and I think @SalishSea was just wondering if there was another reason you chose AOS, or if perhaps you were misadvised. Hope that the appeal is granted, good luck.
  18. appleblossom
    Please take the caps lock off. It's considered 'shouting' in forum netiquette. 6 months would be pretty quick, even the quickest consulates are 3-4 months for spouses and Lagos had a big backlog. There's also a much higher chance of being put in to Admin Process in Lagos, so do factor that in. Is your wife a US citizen?
  19. appleblossom
    @Crazy Cat has already done it for you. What kind of case, spousal I assume? You can request an expedite if you have valid grounds - your wife having financial issues wouldn't qualify you though. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#ivp7

    DS-160 isn't just for tourist visas. It has to be completed for K-1 applicants too. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html#5
  21. appleblossom
    You say 'working on DS-260 form', what do you mean - have you submitted it? What kind of application is this?
  22. appleblossom
    Says the man that didn't do it and thought it was just a one page form. 😂
  23. appleblossom
    Things really must have changed in the past decade if your wife only filled in a one page form for AOS. Just the I-485 is a far longer form than the I-129f now, and then of course add in the I-864, and possibly I-131 and I-765 as well. Overall probably 40+ pages of forms for most.
  24. appleblossom
    So you’re basing this on experience from a decade ago? 😂 Just pop over to the K1 forums and that’ll give you up to date info. I-129f’s for Filipinos are processed at exactly the same rate as those from every other country. They’re only processed at one service center now.

    ESTA? Ok, so now you need to apply for a B.
