We decided to file the I-130 for my wife 30 year old single daughter. I wanted to have her apply for visitor visa first but she got advice from an agency in China that there is no way her daughter would get a visitor visa while we wait out the I-130 process. We received the I-797 and were assigned to California service center WAC********** My question is does the 6 to 7 year wait start from the day they received the application? I see that at that service center they are working on May 2015 for approvals of unmarried children over 21 was hoping the clock doesn't start ticking after the approval. Can anyone who was in this situation share how that works when the clock starts...Thank you -
Well...wife's daughter has her visa in hand!!!! I seriously never thought this would happen. Here's the question. On the visa it has IV Category as F22. Tried to find what this meant and all I can find is that it's basically an F2A applicant that got their visa. Anyone know what this means specifically? CSPA as we saw, did come into play. So many people, even experts (lawyers/congressional reps) said sorry there was no way it was going to help and that she'd be switched to the F2B. Her Priority Date was Dec. 6, 2010, her 21st bd was 1/16/2011 and when she went for the interview she had just turned 24. Documentation and staying on top of the situation (and the government process) was key in this case. Plus, all of you guys helped soooooo much. So our prayers were answered! THANK YOU GOD!!! and THANK YOU Candle for Love!! And also, persistance does pay off sometimes, even though at times it seems the barracades the government put in front of us are insurmountable. Remember...Jjí de sko!! Have a great day! Rosie and Ashley and Marc -
Hey all, I've read this thread and I am stressing a little bit about the removal of conditions...Allow me to explain. We got the Conditional Green card in August 2010, and since that time have not really "lived" in America. We just aren't ready yet, although we do plan on making the permanent move either late this year or early 2014. We have travelled back to America once each year and stayed for about 2 months each time. The reason I am stressing is I'm not sure I can be present in America for the interview/biometrics and all that. Basically, what I want to know is this: After you file the I-751, how soon will they typically schedule the biometrics and interview? I was planning to submit the application at the end of May then go to America in mid-June and stay about a month and hope the biometrics and interview would fall in that month timeframe. Does it not work like that? From reading this thread, it seems like they call you for an interview anytime in the year after you apply then you have like a week or two to show up for it. I know I haven't exactly "played by the rules" but believe me we are not trying to game the system; we still INTEND to move to America, we just aren't ready just yet. Anyway, any advice/feedback from personal experience would be much appreciated. Thanks! -
Hey Everyone! Well sort of good news from the US Government. I've been told that the Child Protection law won't help us in bringing my wife's daughter over here. She's now 20 and will turn 21 1/16/2012. Was told yesterday that's not true. If the I-130 is filed before she turns, she'll be deemed 20 when her visa is issued, which they told me for an F2A, which is what she is now, is a little over 2 years. They will subtract the time it takes to process the visa from her age when they approve it. So basically however long it takes to process her visa request, that amount of time will be subtracted from her age at that point. So when you file is the most important thing. File before they turn 21 and the F2A applies. Cool. And no 8 year wait.

If some of you've been following, lawyer messed up our app. I need to call USCIS tomorrow (per USCIS employee suggestion...30 days and no action) and see where we are at. But as I read everything I have a question. Rosie legally doesn't have a visa. The K1 expired (Feb 19) 90 days after she entered the U.S. Is she still able to go forward with the I-485? On the 485 the attorney typed in OVERSTAY as the status of her visa. Your thoughts? Sorry I ask so many questions. I just need to make sure I do everything right after he botched it the first time. Additionally, does someone have a link of a site that shows us exactly what we need to do to file the I-130 for her unmarried daughter that's 20 years old? What papers do we need to send in for that when we can send them in. We are going to do this all on our own. No more attorneys.
