    I meant on your profile, to help the VJ community and also make it easier to help you with any questions you may have. See mine for an example (just click ‘Timeline’ by my name). If you can take a few minutes to fill that in that would be great, thx.

    Please fill in your timeline too! Thx.

    Because 9 months in a year isn’t using it ‘as legally intended’. That’s not normal tourism. Make sure she files her US tax return next year as mentioned above - risking annoying immigration is one thing but she really doesn’t want to get on the wrong side of the IRS!

    It’s certainly not now. Current date for filing for ROW is August 2023 and it seems the OP has only just filed I-140, so isn’t likely to be eligible to file I-485 for at least another year.

    You didn’t share that on the previous thread, you never mentioned the B2. Do you mean I-140? The confusion is how you’re adjusting status as you don’t seem to be eligible to do so. Have you overstayed your B2?

    Your stepson will know. Their PD became current in June 2024 it seems, so they should have been documentarily qualified a long time ago. Step 2 onwards here - 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

    Is your stepson a citizen or permanent resident? And just checking, but which case number are you using? They can’t log in on the CEAC system with the old case number (from USCIS, for the I-130), they must use the case number from NVC but perhaps they haven’t had that yet?

    It will depend on the reason for the denial. Is the notice on your online account or do you need to wait for it to come via mail?

    Looks like @HappyPlace’s was approved the day after s/he posted that, on 20th Feb. You can click on the Timeline button on their profile to see details of it. Good luck for the rest of the process to both of you.

    As said above, for the RFE you need a really good lawyer. This isn’t a DIY situation IMO. But the main question was about your current status in the US, which is relevant to this thread as well.

    No, you didn’t. On this thread - It’s really hard to help you without basic info like your current status etc.

    I think your biggest problem is that you don’t seem to have any experience in the field according to USCIS, which would make you ineligible for the visa. I’d also suggest you answer the questions posed in your previous thread. They really are important, particularly if you don’t have a lawyer.

    @alixe and @cherryblossom70, please fill in your timelines, thx. Given the bank holidays, I’d assume letters will be later this month but hopefully soon.
  14. appleblossom
    Right, so she’s not eligible to adjust status. Given the current administration, they need to get things filed urgently. It’s not going to be easy, quick or cheap though unfortunately. Get her to (a) join VJ so she can understand her situation and the process and (b) hire a really good lawyer.
  15. appleblossom
    Also, just checking, you were a citizen when you petitioned him? Just that you’ve put this in the section of the forum for queries about green card holders petitioning relatives?
  16. appleblossom
    You don’t need to inform them. As said above you just wait until they’re actually eligible for a visa and then add any dependents at that point. No need for a new I-130 and you don’t have to do anything now. It’ll probably only be his wife as his children are unlikely to qualify unless ‘under 15’ means they’re very young.
  17. appleblossom
    It’s a huge ask of anybody, I don’t think any stranger would agree to be on the hook financially for potentially decades for somebody they don’t even know. But I’m amazed your lawyer suggested you try to find somebody on an anonymous internet forum when it sounds like you already qualify yourself - frankly I’d be firing him and demanding a refund for that atrocious advice! It’s not ‘forward thinking’, it’s basic immigration knowledge. And if he doesn’t know that I’d be worried about what else he’s missed.
  18. appleblossom
    Yep, another vote for previously refused.

    Yep, this is one for your lawyer. If you don’t have a lawyer then that would explain why your case is weak - so get one asap! There are many visa apps that I think can be done without a lawyer, EB1/EB2 are not among them. We used Fragomen for ours and would recommend them.

    They won’t be being mailed GC’s as presumably you haven’t paid the GC fee. They already are citizens if they meet the criteria, you don’t need to do anything other than apply for their US passports. https://fam.state.gov/fam/08fam/08fam030110.html

    When is your interview? Please fill in your timeline to pay it forward and help others. As Boiler said, that’s why you have to provide the I-864, that will give details of your petitioner's income/assets (and your joint sponsor if needed).

    Please fill in your timeline! Thx.

    Then just wait and see who will count as derivatives when their PD is current. ‘Under 15’ is too vague as they could be any age from 0-14, so there’s no way of knowing if they’ll be likely to age out or not. I’m guessing they will as they’ve probably still got at least 15 years to go, so it will probably just be the wife to add, but just wait and see.
  24. appleblossom
    And it doesn’t give you any kind of pop up or question mark to click on to clarify it? They normally have an explanation.
  25. appleblossom
    Thank you. That would be receipt date for your I-140. Goodluck.
