Hey everyone,
This case is about my sister, she's currently in US on an F1 visa. My grandmother (U.S. Citizen) filed the petition in January,2003 for my mother which was approved in 2009.
Yesterday , we were granted immigrant visas (my father, mother & me). There was a problem with CSPA applicability in my sister's case which we sorted out during the immigrant visa interview with the CO.
She is definitely eligible and we have even paid the IV ($230) fees but the problem is which forms should she submit as she is considered as a derivative. According to my knowledge, there are 2 ways to go about this
1. She can fill the AoS I 485 and further pay $1070 fees. How long would it take as the visa bulletin is already current ?
2. Or she can come back to India , get her police clearance certificates , file DS 230/260 , then appear for interview ? Approx how much time will this take as she is working in US on OPT ?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
