    Ignore the timeline in your USCIS account, it’s notoriously unreliable. There are threads and timelines on VJ that will be far more helpful. 14 months is about the norm for spousal I-130’s at the moment so you should hear something next summer. Good luck.

    The 15 years bit in the link you've given is for immigrant visas, not non-immigrant visas. As far as I know, there's no such timing rules for a non-immigrant visa waiver.

    @Crazy Cat Could you share your excellent comparison? If you're already living together, I'd say CR1 would be a much better idea personally. Good luck.

    Then just put those in.

    So it'll be up to 90 days for you to get your green card, about 6 weeks seems to be the norm. Your endorsed visa in your passport acts as a temporary green card for a year though.

    But every case is different, and will be different from yours, and it will depend on the weight of your other evidence for the other categories - I didn't submit any as my other evidence was stronger and it wasn't needed. That's why a good EB1 lawyer will be able to present your application best and know exactly what will be needed.
  7. appleblossom
    Depends on your field and other evidence. Your lawyer will be able to advise and put the strongest possible case together. Good luck.

    Yes, if he’s in the US, and if his PD is January not August (not sure if he’s using the US date format or the international one - I do wish people would fill in timelines!). I’m guessing he’s only just started college hence not filing sooner but it’s really not clear. A quick look at his past posts also seems to say he may have aged out in to F2B. Hopefully the OP will clarify.

    He says his I-130 is pending so I don’t think he can. @Albert2, I don’t think that would be a valid reason to expedite your I-130. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-1-part-a-chapter-5 But you can certainly try.

    What kind of scar? And what did you say on your forms, did you declare previous mental health issues? My daughter has self harm scars and was on antidepressants at the time of our medical, it wasn't an issue at all but we were totally honest about it and we had a letter from her doctor stating the all important wording that she is 'not a danger to herself or others'.

    And the child is resident in SL? If so, you can request a transfer but yow you do it will depend on where the case is. More info here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#ivp13 Good luck.

    What stage is the application at?
  13. appleblossom
    DCF is a lot faster, but 1.5 months would be hyper speed! There's a thread just down the page for somebody else that's gone the DCF via Tokyo route, looks like 4 months from application to interview.

    His Priority Date isn't current, so there's no visa available to him yet. When his PD becomes current on Table B of the Visa Bulletin he'll be able to proceed with the NVC side of things, but not before then - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-november-2024.html

    He put various restrictions on employment based visas in place last time (I was affected - I was originally supposed to be moving in 2021) and has already said he'll cancel legal immigration programs. He may not go after EB applicants this time, no way of knowing though. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2024/01/17/bad-news-for-employers-immigrants-and-h-1b-visas-in-second-trump-term/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/trump-restrictions-legal-immigration-second-term-rcna151994

    I couldn't find a progress thread for June 2024 filers (you might want to start one, unless you can track one down), but just to give you an idea of timescales for it all, here is the one from June 2023 so you can see where people who filed a year ahead of you are -
  18. appleblossom
    Also, another idea if you haven’t already thought of it - get a pre-paid credit card, then you have a financial document with your address on.
  19. appleblossom
    I’d just try another bank, for example Bank of America lets you open an account even if you’re not resident in the US. Chime bank accepts a mobile phone bill. Or how about your health insurance, do you have anything from them with your address on? If not, rental insurance? AAA membership?
  20. appleblossom
    Ah, ok. So it’s not NVC approval, it’s USCIS at this stage. But ignore the ‘My Progress’ completely, it’s notoriously unreliable - just search the forum for info on that. If you only applied in June 2024 then you’re a long way off approval. But once you have been approved then you can use the link above to check timescales for the NVC side of things. But as above, it does also depend on the type of case - which family member has petitioned for you? Best of luck.
  21. appleblossom
    The letter that your SSN comes with should suffice for that.
  22. appleblossom
    Amex in the UK? They’l do their own credit check, not sure if they use Expedia but your score should be about the same with any credit agency.
  23. appleblossom
    That doesn’t help at all. Your UK credit score just isn’t relevant in the US. The only company I know that allows you to open a new account overseas using your UK account is Amex.
  24. appleblossom
    It might be worth applying for one if you have time? Then your UK credit score will be used.
  25. appleblossom
    The consulate isn’t relevant, it’s not passed over to London until you’ve got an interview. Not sure what you mean ‘NVC approval’, do you mean USCIS (your I-130/I-140)? Processing times are updated weekly here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html But what kind of application is it? The above assumes you don’t have a wait for your Priority Date to become current.
