  1. Which category? Please fill in your timeline, thx. If your request to have an earlier PD recaptured was only approved at the end of July then it’s probably just too early to be expecting a IL. What does your case status say?
  2. OK, so yes that's the official one, that's where the link I gave you is from. Good luck to her.
  3. I'm assuming that's a typo and it's May 21 2024? Was that a renewal or replacement? My daughter lost her GC (grrrr!) and so we had to submit the I-90 for a replacement, and her timeline is similar to yours. I'd expected a much longer wait still but maybe not!
  4. Yes, absolutely - it's VERY common for Pakistani males, no matter which consulate they're applying through. I also had to wait a couple of hours beyond my appointment time when I had my IV interview. I assume that the people called ahead of me were applying via a different process, it didn't bother me at all. I'd expected long delays and had taken a book with me.
  5. Ask the lawyer if s/he will put that advice in writing - bet they won’t! 😂
  6. No. It's the total income amount that will count i.e. actual income after expenses.
  7. What actual site did she use to apply? Is it definitely a genuine one? Hope your MIL gets the visa, fingers crossed.
  8. She was supposed to pay first as per the instructions - https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-typeb1b2.asp But hopefully it will be ok. At least the Manila wait for an interview has reduced a lot so she doesn't have to wait too long to find out if it's granted. Has she had a B visa before?
  9. The Informed Delivery website. Every day you get an email telling you what mail is on the way, for packages or anything sent tracked it has the tracking number there too and you can follow it on it's way to you. But for the USCIS tracking for the GC, it's also on the USCIS online account. It says 'mailed on xxxx date' and then has the tracking number as well. So if one doesn't have Informed Delivery, they can track it anyway using that number and the USPS website. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/how-to-track-delivery-of-your-notice-or-secure-identity-document-or-card
  10. Tracking number on the online account, but you don't need it for Informed Delivery, it shows it once it's in the system anyway.
  11. Up to 90 days. Ours took about 6 weeks last year. You check the status using the receipt number from when you paid the green card fee - it will tell you when the card has been sent for production, when it's been printed, and give you the tracking number once it's sent.
  12. She doesn't get an email, she has to follow the links here and pay it herself. I'm not sure how she submitted the DS-160 without having paid the fee! https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-paymentinfo.asp
  13. OK, so if he's 30 then it's not such an issue. At the moment adult children of LPR's is slightly quicker than adult children of USC's, but it's probably at least a decade before he will be eligible for a visa whichever category he's in, so I'd wait and see what's happening with each nearer the time. She might want to hold off applying for citizenship just in case - but he needs to not get married! Good luck.
  14. Do check that it makes sense for her to get citizenship, often it's the worst thing a LPR can do when petitioning for a family member. It will depend on your age and marital status, but just thought I'd flag it as sometime people aren't aware of the consequences. Good luck.
  15. Who is 'they'? I'm a GC holder and nobody is asking for my vote, in fact if I even thought about it there are warnings everywhere saying that I can't vote and it's illegal. Any GC holders that do vote only do it due to their own negligence and ignorance.
  16. Ditto, I have a spreadsheet for all 4 family members with days inside and outside of the country, and dates plus reasons for each trip - because there's no way I'd remember it all or want the hassle of searching for records when/if the time comes to apply for naturalisation!
  17. All of ours were printed that way last year. It’s perfectly normal.
  18. If you’re asking about your friends F2B case, then see your previous thread - If you’re asking about a different case then it will depend on the Priority Date, country and type of case, so you need to give that info before anybody can give you an estimate.
  19. How old are you and your brother? And what’s the Priority Date?
  20. It would depend on the type of case and the priority date.
  21. That’s not an official website, it’s a Google AI search result. This is the official info on the interview waiver criteria - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/important-update-on-waivers-of-the-interview-requirement-for-certaing-nonimmigrant-visa-applicants.html That’s an amazing deal! What kind of medical coverage does it offer?
  22. As said above by @OldUser, more info is needed to help you - namely your son’s age and what the Priority Date of the petition is.
  23. As said above, best thing would be to get your citizenship then apply. If you apply as a green card holder (when you are eligible) then it will take many years longer than if you petitioned them as a citizen. How much time have you actually spent in the US since you became a permanent resident?
  24. The OP does. S/he is seeking to waive the inadmissibility - so the inadmissibility must be determined first. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/charts/i-601chart.pdf If they’ve only just filed then best thing to do is wait and see what requirements are in place by the time they are due to be scheduled for an interview - as @Boiler said, probably back end of 2025. Then they can make a decision about what to do.
