    MTR Time

    I sent mt MTR today I send it to the Vermont office b/c after reading some other posts on the forum here I realized that some people's cases have been moved to their local offices, but I never received a notice from USCIS that mine has been moved. So following that logic i sent it to Vermont...

    MTR Time

    ok. thanks. after reading the forum it seams to be the smart thing to do. especially since my local philly office is telling me they have a wait of 2+ years. I think that they are sitting on the paperwork here while the Vermont office is processing theirs. Do you know if my father can...

    MTR Time

    Did you have to do anything after your MTR was approved? Hi, you answered my biggest question of whether the work permit can still be used while waiting for the MTR to kick in. This sucks. But my other concern is that when they re-open the case, we'll have to file for a work permit and...

    How long after NOA do we have?

    I see. Wow, that is a long time. I tried to search similar topics here on the forum, but nowhere does is actually talk about the timelines between the ready visa number/package sent and the actual obtainment of the visa. So you have cleared that up. :) Thanks a bunch, eve

    How long after NOA do we have?

    I know that I will receive the NOA and they will be notified by the visa center with their package and letter. But how long can they hold on to that package before they go to the consulate to get their visa? And then, if they obtain the visa in their passports, how long is the visa valid for...

    How long after the NOA is the visa valid for? Hi everyone, My parents need to know how many months they have to go the Consulate after they receive their visa number. Is it 6 months or 12 months? Because my mom will need quite some time to get the household ready to move. Thanks, eve

    Father coming on tourist visa while his I-130 petition is pending - PROBLEM???

    Ok guys. thank you all for explaining. I wish we had known that this would be taken badly by the CIS before we planned on it. But I guess he'll just have go back when his approval comes and process his immigrant from home. Of course he was never planning on trangressing the B1 visa should the...

    Father coming on tourist visa while his I-130 petition is pending - PROBLEM???

    I see what you are saying, but wouldn't they have said that when he went to ask for it? He clearly told them, we are planning on me going there and when the AOS arrives in a few months if i'm still withing my toursit visa period, then I'll just change status there.

    Father coming on tourist visa while his I-130 petition is pending - PROBLEM???

    Yes, I told him to be upfront about the I-130 petition pending when he goes to the embassy. So he told them that his daughter has applied for him and his wife and that we think that we'll get NOA in a few months. He told them all of that and apparently they were barely interested. They took...

    I was told today by the CIS customer service agent that my father’s coming next week may cost him his approval during the interview for his GC. The I-130 petition for him is currently pending and according to the Vermont Center's processing times, it looks like we will get the Notice of...
