Why? You don’t need to have photos taken at the same place. You can each take them on a phone using a passport photo app and then print them out. Can be done in a day or two if really needed.

Not certain which visa to request
appleblossom replied to PEREDERO's topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration
Which is only good for visiting. As above, you should apply for K-1 for your fiancée - her kids will be K-2’s. There’s a guide at the top of the page which will help with the whole process. Good luck. -
Not certain which visa to request
appleblossom replied to PEREDERO's topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration
Who is ‘her’? You wife? Your fiancée? Your sister? Your mother? How old are the kids? She does need a visa to live in the US, whoever she is. How long does she usually visit the US for and does she have a job? -
Waiver for J1 visa holder
appleblossom replied to Emme Elle's topic in Student & Exchange Visitor Visas
Sorry, not sure what ‘po’ or ‘ko’ stand for? But if your PD is June 2024, then you can’t adjust status yet anyway as your PD isn’t current. So you may well be able to apply for your waiver before being able to apply to adjust status. Unfortunately your daughter may age out by the time your PD is current but all you can do is keep an eye on the VB and submit as soon as possible. Good luck. -
New I130 or CRBA for new born
appleblossom replied to yangshang0's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Do you meet the requirements to pass US citizenship on to your child or not? The answer will depend on that. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Acquisition-US-Citizenship-Child-Born-Abroad.html -
You know things are in motion though as the check has been cashed. Just checking, this is a spousal case? As previously you were asking about petitioning an adult child. When you do get your receipt number and can check your case online, whatever you do ignore the estimated time until completion! It's notoriously unreliable as you'll no doubt have seen from other threads asking about it.

Waiver for J1 visa holder
appleblossom replied to Emme Elle's topic in Student & Exchange Visitor Visas
When you say 'approved for EB-2 NIW', do you mean just the I-140 was approved? What's your Priority Date? -
It's not a 'status letter', only a receipt. It doesn't tell you anything other than the application has been received, and it won't tell you if everything you sent is correct, simply because they won't know yet - it won't be looked at properly for quite some time. You know it's got there as the check was cashed, so all you can do is wait unfortunately. Good luck.

As Boiler said, look at it as buying a green card. You may get your money back, but there’s no guarantee - don’t do it if you haven’t got that kind of money to lose.

Is job/employment letter required for EB3-Unskilled visa interview?
appleblossom replied to Ray9867's topic in Work Visas
The OP says in his first post that the document checklist says he has to bring an offer letter that’s less than one month old. -

Which consulate? Please fill in your timeline. -
Only EB1/EB2 update on NVC (DQ, IL)
appleblossom replied to snm2212's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
Yes, you do need to do this. You need to follow the usual DoS website - see step no. 2 on the step by step instructions on this page, then click on London to see the consulate specific requirements. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html Good luck. -

COVID Vaccines
appleblossom replied to Billbus's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
Can't see immigration policy changing even if the government changes, after all the flu is another required vaccine for immigration. For a religious waiver your wife would need to be part of a religion that has a theological objection to vaccines. Christianity isn't among them. You can certainly file for a waiver though - it'll add about a year to the process IIRC. -
No way to expedite it, even if you never received it. But as above, just get an ADIT stamp, you don't even need to go for an appointment to get one now, they just send it via the mail and it takes a couple of weeks. You can request an appointment on your online UCCIS account, which should then be waived if you meet the criteria.

SSN and building credit
appleblossom replied to SamuelTheKitty's topic in Tax & Finances During US Immigration
Get credit - as above, a bank account makes no difference at all. Take any credit you are offered, even just a store card. And if you have an Amex in your home country, then that's a really easy way to do it via their country transfer. They'll use your credit score in your home country for the US and give you a similar credit limit, my US credit score went from zero to over 750 in 2 days thanks to my Amex (which I set up in the UK specifically for that reason!).
