    No, it’s quite quick but 3 visits before filing is good, and you’ll have plenty of time to gather more evidence after you’ve filed too. If you get married in July and then file the I-130, it’ll be fall/winter 2026 (going on current timescales - obviously subject to change) before you’ll be applying for the visa, and you can submit additional proof whilst the I-130 is being processed. Just keep good evidence of your communications and time together in person. Best of luck.

    I’d agree, and say go with the IR2 option as it’ll be much quicker, if the F2A was only filed in November 2024. But @AileenRico42, are you sure the Priority Date for the F2A is November 2024? That doesn’t line up with the dates given in your previous thread. So it will very much depend on exactly when both were filed. Please do let us know exact PD’s for each case, as it makes a big difference.

    The review will be quick, but it’s waiting your turn in line for that review that takes the time. Unless things speed up (most people expect the opposite to happen with the new administration) then it’ll be 2026 before the petition is approved - processing time is currently about 15 months. But I agree with the above, ignore the estimated processing time on your online account completely! It’s notoriously unreliable. Best of luck. It’s set out step by step here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html HTH.

    Have you resubmitted the I-751? What’s your current status? You can’t get a I-551 from a pending I-130.

    December which year? And which visa category? Please fill in your timeline, thanks.
  6. appleblossom
    Are you sure the email isn’t the letter they’re referring to? If it has the date in it then that might be it? I’d try uploading that as well as contacting NVC.
  7. appleblossom
    Don’t fill either out yet, as said above you need to hold on until the I-130 for your newborn is approved. So there’s no point in asking for your husband’s to be expedited as you want to pause their applications at the NVC stage anyway.

    Please fill in your timeline, thanks. The more EB applicant timelines we have, the better for everybody.

    Another vote for applying later this year. Unless there’s a specific reason you want citizenship rather than LPR status, for the sake of 8 months, I’d just wait to apply personally.

    Because the only Canadians applying for B visas will be high risk (criminal record, previous US visa violation, etc). Everybody else can enter the US for up to 6 months without needing a visa.

    There is nowhere to add it, as her parents cannot bring derivatives I’m afraid.

    Follow the link on the usual website and it gives you details - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MNL-Manila.html Good luck.

    I guess it depends on if it’s guaranteed or not i.e. dividends from stocks that could fluctuate wouldn’t be. But I agree that cash assets should be acceptable, I don’t see why you can’t submit evidence of that to meet the requirements. It might be worth giving details of the number of people in the household and the amounts you’ve put on the application (plus amount of assets) so that those in the know can help, best of luck.

    Hopefully a mod will move this to the main forum, so more people see it - I’m specifically thinking of @pushbrk who is a whizz when it comes to the financial stuff, and others in the know. What was the passive income? I’m wondering if they won’t take that if it’s not guaranteed - i.e. if it’s from rental property that could be empty in the future?

    Not changing terminals doesn’t mean they won’t go through immigration. If both flights are on one ticket then generally they won’t. But if it’s with different airlines and they need to recheck their bags between flights, then they usually will. They need to check with the airline.

    No, as @Crazy Cat said there are no dependents for immediate relatives, each needs their own application. There’s no guarantee their cases will be expedited but there’s a good chance, all she can do is ask.
  17. appleblossom
    That’s not true, a denial is more likely, but ESTA is possible. The more time that passes since the visa refusal, the more likely ESTA is.

    I know very little about spousal financial sponsorship (mine was employment based and self sponsored, so no financials required). But there are lots of people who will be able to help suggest a way forward for you I’m sure, best of luck to you.

    Just spotted this comment. So your spouse is living in the UK now? What evidence did you provide that his/her salary will continue when s/he returns to the US - maybe it wasn’t enough proof and that’s the problem?
  20. appleblossom
    You do have the chance to get the visa and I’m sure it can be overcome. Might be worth posting a new thread in the relevant forum with details of the salary and assets, somebody will be able to help suggest the best way forward to get your case approved. Best of luck.

    It’s only been 7 working days, so I’d say it’s too early to say either way really. Just keep an eye on your status, hopefully it’ll change to issued soon. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    Would they not pick up? Mine was 18 months ago so I might be misremembering but I thought there was the option to arrange a collection. Hopefully as long as you put your case number and details in the envelope it’ll get matched up, good luck.
  23. appleblossom
    It may not match up if you sent it via RM - for DX you get a specific tracking code usually that is linked to your application. But all you can do is keep an eye on your application status and see if it changes. Good luck.

    If he lived in Vancouver it would be far worse! The train from Toronto to Montreal is pretty good.
  25. appleblossom
    Consular processing is now your only option anyway. It would be better for you to petition your stepson as then he’ll be an immediate relative so it will be much quicker. If your husband did now then as said above it would be a F2A category application which takes longer (until your husband gets citizenship, but I’m guessing that would be at least a year away). Best of luck.
