    There are many reasons ESTA can be refused, criminal record is only one of them. You'll be asked about previous visas/visits as part of your application, which may also affect it. But you can certainly apply and see what happens.

    Is your wife the petitioner or the beneficiary?

    Elavod's also says marriage licence though. And the OP has a letter confirming that is the marriage certificate, so I'd think resubmitting it with that should be fine.
  4. appleblossom
    No. I'm sure you won't be rejected though, good luck.

    Fair enough. The CR-1 would take a bit longer, but you'd only have the one application to do (versus the K-1, then AOS, then removal of conditions 2 years down the line as well). And you'd be work authorised from day 1, able to travel, be a green card holder and start working towards citizenship sooner etc. It just might cause a lot less stress than the K-1 route, but your call obviously, I just thought it worth mentioning if you find these types of things anxiety inducing.

    I think you're worrying unnecessarily. And FWIW, I don't think 18 months is 'very soon to get married', I know loads of people who've got married within that time (myself included - 22 years ago….and still very happy!). If you search the forums you'll see that affidavits/pictures from/with friends and family aren't given much weight anyway. But one thing I would say is that if you are a worrier, have you looked at getting married first and doing a spousal visa? That is a simpler route overall and might cause less anxiety. Good luck.

    What does your status say?
  8. appleblossom
    If it's only turned to 'issued' today then that just means it's been printed and in the passport. It then sits waiting for pick up - ours wasn't picked up the same day it was issued, it was the next day (I guess they have a cut off). Once it's been collected by DX and it's on its way you'll get the info.

    So when is/was the interview? Your previous posts say 25th/26th Sept, has she already had it? If so how did it go?
  10. appleblossom
    Yep, we did.
  11. appleblossom
    Yes, we got texts and the tracking number is also put on CEAC (although we'd already had the text with it by that point).
  12. appleblossom
    The officer probably assumed you knew. Keep an eye on that status, fingers crossed it changes very soon!
  13. appleblossom
    It was announced on 27th August - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/annual-limit-reahed-in-the-eb-1-category.html What does CEAC say? Hopefully your status updates to issued soon if it hasn't already, good luck.

    Just update it upon entry, the officer should check the address is still correct as part of the processing. We had a hotel address on our DS-260 as we didn't know where we would be living, when we entered on the visas we had secured a rental house so just updated it with the immigration officer. I typed the address up and printed it out to give to him just in case.

    That's nothing to do with the consulate though, that's because there were no visas available until yesterday. I'd have had the same thing if I'd had my interview at the end of the Fiscal Year when the quota had filled.
  16. appleblossom
    Congrats! And no problem at all, it was only last year that I was in the same boat and I remember it well. We got our passports back within 4 days (interview Monday afternoon, passports arrived Thursday morning) so hopefully it's as quick for you. Best of luck for the move.
  17. appleblossom
    OK, so yes you are eligible for a visa if your PD is current. I must be misunderstanding your question then, can you clarify?
  18. appleblossom
    Yes, it can, because you can be DQ'ed well before your PD is current. You can start the NVC process when your date is current on Table B of the Visa Bulletin, but there's still no visa available to you until it's current on Table A. What is your PD and which category? Please do fill in your timeline.

    Is his spouse a US citizen or green card holder?
  20. appleblossom
    Was he born in Canada? If you're quick with paying fees and submitting docs, then it'll be about 6 months from the I-130 being approved to his interview date as a rough guide.
  21. appleblossom
    It's about 14 months for I-130's at the moment, so you're nearly there. The next step will depend largely on your (how long you take to submit documents, etc), and the consulate - Montreal unfortunately has quite a lengthy wait for interviews. Is your husband Canadian originally?
  22. appleblossom
    Yes, she can leave as soon as she's entered on the visa. Just remember the clock starts ticking on her LPR status from as soon as she does that, so she shouldn't be out of the US for too long, but I assume she was planning on moving soon anyway so it would only be a brief trip home to tie up loose ends?
  23. appleblossom
    It's 6 months from the date of the medical. So she'll need to enter the US before the visa expires, but she can just do that and then return on the next flight to wrap things up at home if she wants.
  24. appleblossom
    Have you not been using that the whole way through and checking it incessantly?!? Just the rest of us then. 😂 It may not change today as they'll have a huge number to get through now the FY has reset, but hopefully soon. It'll change to 'issued' when it's actually been printed and put in your passport, and then you'll know it'll be on its way soon. Good luck.
  25. appleblossom
    You mean tracking the delivery? You need to use the normal CEAC visa status check - when it's been sent the tracking info will be on there. https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx
