CEAC can show other stages, but often it’s super quick so can be missed - mine was only ‘Administrative Processing’ for about two hours before it changed to ‘issued’. DX are no longer the couriers for London consulate, it’s now Mail Boxes Etc.

It’s standard now, most (all?) consulates are doing it. Too early to say if it’ll help with delays though but hopefully so.

I’m so sorry to hear that. A few months would be quite a long time for Japan, it’s usually quicker - I really hope you can get it sorted and get back to the US asap.

Ah, ok, you said you needed to move your interview date closer so I assumed you’d been given one. Tokyo is usually pretty quick anyway. The medical emergency is for the US petitioner? Can they fly back ahead maybe?

It does. What does your online status say and when is your interview scheduled for?

Your wife will have to fly to London for her medical and interview. When do you plan to move to the US? Please fill in your timeline, thanks.

It sounds as though you’ve somehow missed the usual website for the whole process - as your questions about how to schedule medical, fees, documents etc, are all on there! Better late than never, here it is - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html Make sure you follow the London specific guidelines. And please fill in your timeline, thanks.

It’s got your medicals etc in. Put them in hand luggage, not hold luggage. And make sure they don’t get torn.

It’s about 18 months for Lagos I believe, but if you go to this page you can then filter by country to only get Nigeria specific timelines - https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/k1list.php?cfl=&op1=3&op3=5&op5=&op6=All Good luck.

OK, so hopefully not too much longer. Good luck.

Offering to give it her would mean getting in touch with her. I disagree with your attorney completely, she should have changed her address with USCIS (it’s a legal requirement to do so) and if she hasn’t then tough luck on her. Just return to sender anything from USCIS, then USCIS know she’s moved without her telling them, and you don’t have to be in contact with her either, so a double advantage.

Phew! Definitely not accurate at all, just ignore it. Assuming you petitioned your sibling then that’s likely going to be years longer. Because there will be no visa available to him/her for decades, USCIS don’t rush to approve I-130’s for family members that aren’t immediate.

It can take up to 10 working days for it to be returned so no need to worry yet. What does your online status say? And what kind of visa?

Oh apologies, I forgot that bit, thought it was on the basis of her spousal application. But as said above, her TPS is going to be terminated soon anyway (July IRRC?).

Her EAD is only based on having a valid application in the works. Once that’s cancelled, her EAD is too.

Vent away, that’s what VJ is here for! Her EAD will be revoked anyway. The problem is that USCIS will confirm that in writing once they process the I-130 cancellation, but it will come to the address on file i.e. yours.

Yep, so predictable. @csh2020 I'm so glad you’re remaining strong, and so glad that you have a route to getting your life back now - at least now there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just because the pregnancy test is on her bed doesn’t meant it’s hers. And is probably just photoshopped anyway! But if the baby cannot be yours then it’s not relevant anyway regardless. Blocking her is a sensible idea, maybe with one last text to say ‘speak through my lawyer only, I won’t be responding further’ just so she knows it will be pointless to try and provoke you further. And normally I would say don’t bother with reporting her, but actually she’s been so calculating that I think it may be a good idea in this instance. You would usually need her address though and it doesn’t sound as though you have that.

They’re sent in order of DQ, but only if your PD is current, and yours isn’t. So you still have a way to go. Please fill in your timeline to ‘pay it forward’ and help other EB applicants, thx.

It *can* take 1-2 years, or even longer. That’s not to say every case will though of course, some are only weeks.

That’s great, congrats. But many others haven’t been so lucky, so @OldUser’s advice is good.

On your profile please! Thx.

You met and married while she was on her tourist visa? What sort of timeframe between the two?

Step 2 onwards - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html Please fill in your timeline, both to help others going forwards, but also so we can help you. For instance, the interview stage will vary depending on consulate, so if you fill your timeline in then we’ll know yours.

Did you get a lawyer as suggested above? It may be worth just getting one to check over your package (not a euphemism) so that you can be sure it won’t be rejected again.

You can see all of the cases on here, people are generally pretty much bang on the 17 months estimate, unless they receive an RFE. Honestly, forget Lawfully, it’s not a great resource. And 8 months for an interview at which consulate?
