    Not sure what you mean by 'apply for an extended green card'? Depending on her job, skills, education level, she may qualify for an employment based visa. For most employment based green cards she'd need to be petitioned by her employer - and a lot are reluctant to do so as it costs them a huge amount of money, and of course then means the employee can immediately go and work for somebody else. So do factor that in, once she's found a job/sponsor, she must get it in writing that they'll sponsor her green card as it sounds like that will be crucial for you both. And of course, not all work visas are dual intent, so make sure she qualifies for one that will actually allow her to stay permanently.

    That's good, it's been printed then and you should hear very soon.

    Perfectly normal, but what does her online status say?

    Your only option for an IV is Lagos. It’s a long wait, approx 18 months for spouses, not sure about F1 though. The closest example I could find is this person who is F3, he’s been waiting over 3 years for an interview - https://www.visajourney.com/profile/446906-walewale/ HTH.

    Sorry, my bad - I meant the DS-260!

    I’m with Boiler, don’t really understand why you’d do it that way round. Say the children get a visa in 18 months time, they then have to move within a few months and make the US their permanent home. If your wife has to leave the US to get her visa, then it doesn’t make much sense to still have them in separate countries? And in the US without a parent?

    What's your Priority Date? And did your petitioner move back to the US? Seems that's why you were originally refused, that they were living in Jordan with no intention of moving to the US? Have you filed a Writ of Mandamus as previously advised?

    Head to the top of the page, and you'll find the VJ guides, there are several for the K1. Here's one to get you started - Good luck.

    For the I-130, yes. For a paper filing it was $535 if you sent your application before the price increase on 1st April. But now it's $675. See the link I gave you above, and the info at the top of this page - https://www.uscis.gov/i-130 Good luck with the second application.

    I think we’re talking at cross purposes. Anybody with an EAD can of course work in the US. I was specifically responding to the above post that was talking about working remotely without an EAD.

    Work authorisation i.e. a visa that allows you to work. So we were told no remote work for our UK businesses was possible on the temp (O1/O3) visas we had, but fine on our immigrant visas once they came through.

    Did she not tick the box on the I-130? If not then she’ll have to apply in person.

    FWIW, our lawyers told me the opposite, said work like that would require authorisation and not to risk working illegally.
  14. appleblossom
    Which country/consulate? Which visa? What does your online status say?
  15. appleblossom
    I thought they had immigrant visas and moved to the US with you a few years ago? So became citizens automatically upon entry on those visas?

    Then why do you think USCIS have made a mistake? He's an Afghan national and has a visa immediately available to him, so he should qualify for the fee waiver. If you're not sure, then double check it using the fee calculator - https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator
  17. appleblossom
    Is he actually an Afghan national? Or did he just live there and never have citizenship?
  18. appleblossom
    Are they not already citizens?
  19. appleblossom
    You tell the truth - just what you said above. She entered illegally, stayed for 9 months and hasn't returned to the US since. If she can remember dates then give those too.
  20. appleblossom
    Yes, they should do. But if you know you didn't include the correct fee then you can get a head start and just submit a new application asap, no need to wait for it to be returned, it could take a while.
  21. appleblossom
    Just head to the guide on VJ and you'll find all the info you need there (top of the page). It's a legit question though, if they had any intention of staying when they entered then they're risking a ban from the US.

    Vaccine waiver, according to @Jacobgrijpskerk's previous posts. HTH.
  23. appleblossom
    Did you definitely put $535 on your G-1450? If you did and your application wasn't received until 19th April then it will be rejected. The fee increased to $675 at the beginning of April.https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/frequently-asked-questions-on-the-uscis-fee-rule

    No, you can't switch petitioner. Her mother can petition for her as well, but it's about the same wait for the adult child of a citizen as for the adult child of a green card holder anyway. So your daughter is likely to get a visa faster through you than through her mother, if you applied a while ago. The only advantage for her mother petitioning her rather than you would be that she could then get married if she wanted to.
