Courier Selection big problem - where is DX?
appleblossom replied to Dragonsarereal's topic in United Kingdom
The barcode is what the courier uses though, they scan that and pack it in an envelope for you. Not sure how it would work without that unless the OP buys their own courier service and does as you suggested, then hopes they get matched to their case. -

Did you not get an email with it as an attachment? -

Ah, I see. I thought your visa/passport return was due soon, didn't realise you still had docs to send. The page you need to print has a barcode on it. You put that at the top of your documents and that's what they scan and then put it all in an envelope and send it. You should have it on an email? -

Haven't you just had your interview and are expecting your visa soon? What are you trying to courier? I'm sorry but I don't really understand what you're trying to do now. -
Help, please. B2 tourist visas for 2 relatives in Colombia.
appleblossom replied to sean126's topic in Tourist Visas
The question has been answered - your relatives schedule them as and when they can find slots, they may be days or even weeks apart. Or they may get lucky and get two together, nobody will know until they try and schedule their appointments. Please remember that English is not everybody's first language here. Even if somebody may have misunderstood the nuance of your question, they are simply trying to help you. -

Boiler isn't my 'buddy', I don't know him, he's a random stranger on the internet. But personally I think your posts to him have been ruder than vice versa. I suspect the link about the wait times was simply a 'just in case you're not aware, this is how long the wait times are' - you'd be amazed how many people wouldn't know that there is a potential 2 year wait for an appointment and would think their relative would be over for a visit next month. As for you being in the US meaning that your relatives visas are less likely to be approved, just have a hunt around the forum and see how many people have been refused B visas for suspected immigrant intent, or lack of ties to their home countries. Having you in the US makes that much more likely. And yes, I agree that somebody not submitting their own application is fine but as you say that's for those who are illiterate or unable to complete their own applications - if that's the case then fair enough, but you haven't mentioned that being so. You completing the application for them if they were able to do so themselves just emphasises their tie to you which may not work in their favour. But this is all a guessing game, nobody knows for sure what will happen. My guess is that they will be refused a visa, as they have pretty much everything against them - US family, no money/resources, being from a high refusal country anyway, etc. But until they actually go for that interview, there's no way of knowing and sometimes there have been cases where people have surprised us and been given visas despite their circumstances. I wish them the best of luck. -

Just pointing out, it was two separate people that responded to you. @jan22 never mentioned the wait time. I think you’re reading far too much in to the responses you’ve got. People are just typing a quick response to try and help, not trying to be rude. I think what @Boiler is getting at is that you and your wife living in the US means their chances are slim. I would personally suggest you help them less which sounds odd but you need to not be involved in looking for interview slots etc. It’s their application and if they’re asked about your involvement they want to be able to truthfully say they did their own application (legally they had to submit it anyway). -
Congrats. Please do fill in your timeline, so that others searching can find it. Thx.

Unless you are already in the US on another status, you can't do AOS anyway. Australia is currently quicker than Montreal so if you'll be resident in Australia, it would be worth transferring your case there if you can. But Montreal is speeding up, it's now less than 2 years for EB applicants. Good luck.

May 2023 Filers I-130
appleblossom replied to LennyO's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
Never rely on Facebook for immigration info! As your father is a USC and you're an immediate relative, your age was 'locked in' at the time of your I-130 submission, you can't age out. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/child-status-protection-act-cspa -
I'm afraid I can't help with that, as we had a 40ft shipping container - I'm sure you're moving in to a home with your husband that is already full, but we had an empty house and didn't want the cost of buying everything new, and we also wanted the kids to have all of their familiar stuff around them to help them settle. So I'm not sure about packages unfortunately. But as long as your clothes don't have labels on them, I think putting them as used on the inventory would be fine. And we did bring vitamins, our packers had no issue with that. Good luck! Hope the move goes smoothly.

Is this case can deny my visa lottery ?
appleblossom replied to hatimco's topic in Diversity Lottery Visas
It’s illegal in Mexico too. -
Ah, ok. It was just that you’ve only ever said ´my visa/interview/medical’ etc (singular) - so assumed only you had applied for a visa and not your daughter too. Not sure there’s a lot you can do on the flight then, I sympathise as I had the same last year (waited for my children to finish their GCSE’s & A Levels before moving). We moved in July as my children didn’t want to rush off straight after exams, they wanted to relax a bit with friends first. But the only thing I can suggest is that you search using a tool like Skyscanner, using their whole month search, to find the cheapest date. And don’t look for one way flights, which are always more expensive - get a return on the cheapest possible date then just cancel it. Good luck.

You can't divorce her if you're not married to her. -

appleblossom replied to hatimco's topic in Diversity Lottery Visas
As you've been told above, it will be a problem. She's not your wife so can't get a derivative visa from you. -

appleblossom replied to hatimco's topic in Diversity Lottery Visas
Yes, of course you're single - your second marriage wasn't legal. Which is why you need to remarry her if you want her to become your legal spouse. -

'Brother' is quite presumptuous! Lots of us are female. Your current wife isn't your wife, so you'd need to remarry her if you wanted her to become your legal spouse. I've no idea if there would be any issue with the bigamy you committed though. Where were you born, Mexico or Morocco? Or somewhere else?
