    Also, just to mention in case you're not aware - your son cannot get married before getting a visa, otherwise he becomes ineligible as there is no category for married children of LPR's. He could get married if you become a citizen, but probably still doesn't want to as it would make his wait even longer. So you might want to advise him to remain unmarried until he's in the US.

    Follow the official guide - https://www.uscis.gov/family/bring-children-to-live-in-the-US And the VJ guide as well - https://www.visajourney.com/guides/ Good luck.

    Even the quickest consulates are 1-2 months after DQ, and some have a 2+ year wait for an interview. I’ve no idea where Havana sits in the scale though and a forum search didn’t find any other timelines for that consulate either. Good luck to both of you, if you could fill in your timelines then it would be incredibly helpful for other Cuban applicants that follow.

    All you can do is wait and see and do the opposite of what most people on VJ do - hope you don’t get a speedy approval! Good luck.

    The trouble is you can’t calculate it until you know how long the I-130 takes to be approved. It can be much quicker than the quoted processing times - example below where another forum member had one in the same category approved in 5 months at the end of last year. Or of course it could take even longer.

    Ditto on both counts! My only concern is my mother-in-law…..maybe we'll hold off on citizenship even if we do stay long enough to be eligible. 😂😂 Seems the OP has asked this question before and had some good answers.

    Even if the sister was adopted by another family? And more like 30+ years if it's the Philippines I'd guess.
  8. appleblossom
    You couldn't do that anyway. Personally I wouldn't cancel the I-130 unless you know for sure you can get a job offer/employer/TN visa.

    Oh I've no idea then I'm afraid. @Captain Ewok may be able to help.

    The doctor has nothing to do with the waiver. You'd need to apply for it separately (I-601), adds about a year to the process.

    That sounds like it may be your SCR anyway. As long as it's not pages and pages of info (I vaguely recall it was 6 pages that Visa Medicals said was the max) then that should be fine.
  12. appleblossom
    It may just be enough - fingers crossed! Hope June's VB brings the date you're hoping for.

    Lots of countries have huge backlogs and the wait for an interview can be 1-2 years+ from being DQ'ed, even if the PD is current. Utterly frustrating that after a lengthy wait for a PD to become current there's another line to wait in, particularly when some consulates are only a couple of months from DQ to interview date.
  14. appleblossom
    You need your Summary Care Record, not your full medical history - Visa Medicals will tell you that if you have more than a certain number of pages they'll charge you extra for reviewing them. You should be able to download that on the app as well though. Good luck.

    People have, but only spousal visas that I know of. Once you become current then you should get an IL in a month or so. Unfortunately I don't see the VB moving much anytime soon, DoS did say there would be 'very little to no forward movement' for employment based categories in the coming months. Hopefully it will move 'very little' but just enough for you though! Good luck.

    @dabursot2´s PD isn’t current yet. You can click on a persons username to see their timeline. HTH.

    It does seem odd that none of the immigration officials seem to be familiar with their own policies. https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/after-the-interview/entry-on-an-immigrant-visa/#:~:text=You may not enter the,of the U.S. Citizen petitioner.

    That just means that one of those forms need to have been filed to qualify for CPSA in the first place, but then the actual conditions for CPSA are laid out further down the page for each specific category, as it varies for each. Read the section on family preference categories for more info.
  19. appleblossom
    No, unless of course your category retrogresses on the Visa Bulletin. But assuming you weren't born in India or China then your Priority Date is current at the moment, so you're in the queue for an interview and just need to wait until they get to you. Please do fill in your timeline when you get a mo.

    Not sure who told you that, but they were wrong I'm afraid. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/child-status-protection-act-cspa

    I'd assume an SD category application will be in the employment based category, which has a nearly 2 year wait at Montreal (when last updated they were scheduling those DQ'ed in July 2022). HTH, good luck.

    Not sure what you mean by NOA2? Have only ever heard that used for a K1 visa, so not sure what context you're using it in? But the dates on the Visa Bulletin are the Priority Dates of those who are now eligible to receive visas - so those that submitted I-130s before 8th Sept 2020 are now eligible. For your stepson, it will depend on how long his I-130 takes to be approved, and when his PD becomes current on the Visa Bulletin.
  23. appleblossom
    Which visa category? If you could fill out your timeline it would be helpful.
  24. appleblossom
    It will depend on the Visa Bulletin at the time. At the moment, it would be slightly better ( F1 category those who applied in Feb 2015 are now eligible for visas, versus Nov 2015 for F2B's). But that may change, all you can do is wait and see. He can choose to keep his category as F2B if it would be beneficial when the time comes.

    Or not even that, if you're from the UK - we were never asked about it, and none of us had any record of having had chickenpox on our medical records either. It was just marked as 'routinely not available' and that was that, medicals passed.
