    Option 3 is your only realistic option. Particularly as said above as it sounds like you’ve been working illegally to fund your trip. Extending your B2 isn’t going to happen unless you have good grounds - think one of you being hospitalized etc. It doesn’t sound as though you’d have a valid reason for that. And if you both already have masters and established careers then a F1 isn’t likely to be granted either. So stop work right now (remember if you do want to apply for EB2 NIW that will have a big impact) and plan to head back earlier if you don’t have enough funds to stay another couple of months. Then you can apply properly from your own country. I’d also look at employment based visas if you’re in tech fields. Either of your company’s have US offices you could transfer to?

    Have you tried different browsers? What do you think you need to log in for? Any pre interview info is usually publically available.

    So unless it retrogresses you can do AoS once the I-130 is approved.

    Ah it’s fine, she doesn’t really need it, she just gets the ADIT stamp so there’s no rush. You should just be able to edit it on your profile?

    I was asked what address I wanted my GC sending to and then biometrics taken. That was it, and no secondary either, just 5 minutes at the booth and then sent on my way with a ‘Welcome to America’.

    If you can give the consulate then people can give you more specific info. Also anything unusual about your circumstances (i.e. a 20 year age gap). Then people can advise if one visit together is likely to be enough or if you should plan for more.

    It’s just not a priority. My daughter lost her GC and so had to submit a I-90 for a replacement. Current processing time - 26 months! That is also just printing and mailing a card but they’re focused on other types of applications so not many resources are directed to replacement (or initial) GC’s. And please fill your timeline in too! Thx.

    Oh that’s interesting, obviously increased processing times which may explain why @fyxk2024 hasn’t received theirs. Please do fill your timeline in to help other EV applicants thanks.

    'Loads' sounds very British to me, I certainly say it all the time.
  10. appleblossom
    That's nonsense. Just fill in the form again to report the card not being received. You don't need to file I-90 until you've heard back, I-90 processing times are over 2.5 years now so if it's a simple fix then there's no point in doing that.

    Depends on your visa and consulate - assuming CR-1 and Lagos, then you need to wait for it to be scheduled, it's about a 15 month wait. If you can fill in your timeline/profile that would be helpful.
  12. appleblossom
    If you're CR-1 then it's usually scheduled by NVC, K-1's have to schedule their own. Wait times will vary by consulate, you can check here to see when you can expect one. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html

    It sounds to me as though the whole thing had been rejected. The rest of it may be making its way back to you or may have been lost. You mention above about CR1 so I’m wondering if you selected ´spouse of USC’ by mistake on the form.
  14. appleblossom
    A reminder that you want it to take as long as possible so your stepchild doesn’t age out in to F2B! So I’d sit back and wait, and hope you don’t get approval any time soon.
  15. appleblossom
    No, as there’s still no visa available to her at that point.

    All of the info you need is on the usual website. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html Make sure you check the country specific info as well.

    Replied to your other post, but interviews are currently being scheduled for those DQ’ed in October 2022, so she’s still got a couple of years to go unless things speed up. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html As said above, your idea of her entering as a visitor and then trying to adjust status is immigration fraud and not possible, she just had to be patient and wait it out. Hopefully the backlog will reduce between now and then.
  18. appleblossom
    For Abu Dhabi? It’s about a 2.5 year wait so she’s still got a long way to go if she was only DQ’ed in Oct. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html

    I think it was pretty much the last day so you might hear later. But have you checked your junk/spam folder?
  20. appleblossom
    1. Yes 2. & 3. Not needed as you have what is required. You can travel anytime, so get the flight booked asap. I wish you the very best.
  21. appleblossom
    All EB applicants are prioritised the same, and it’s done by DQ date. So you’ll be ahead (for example) of an EB1 applicant that was DQ’ed last month. You could well receive an IL in June but it’ll depend on how many people are in line ahead of you. There may be tons of EB3 applicants that were DQ’ed well before you and will get priority. No way of knowing so just don’t make any plans or book anything, but hopefully not long now. Good luck.

    3 months is probably about right, maybe 4 months. London is one of the quickest consulates luckily.
  23. appleblossom
    If it’s been fully opened it’ll need to be resealed. Not sure which consulate you’ve applied at, but here’s the info from the London consulate - https://uk.usembassy.gov/visa-faqs-information-for-immigrant-visa-holders-and-applicants/#:~:text=If your visa package (a,it was damaged during delivery.

    Why do you think that? It didn’t move forward at all in June and given the big jump it did in May I wouldn’t be surprised if it remains as Feb 2025 next month too. Basically, if that’s what you’re relying on then don’t as you may be disappointed. As said above, your wife needs to decide what she wants more - a visit home and consular processing, or staying in the US and being unable to travel for a while.

    Not long. If you have Informed Delivery this is when it’s really useful.
