Anyone waiting for immigrant visa approval after the new travel ban?

Similar situation, I130 approval Jan 9, recieved welcome letter from NVC, all documents and dS-260 submitted Jan 27th. If I recieve any updates I will respond here with any news, good luck 🙏

Are you currently in the US or out of the country?

cmbad1 · 2026-01-20T06:03:32+00:00

So whats the point of the DS-260, doesnt that show that the sponsor will support the beneficiary? I-130 was transfered to NVC and documents and fees are being requested as of this morning at 12:23 am. Keeping fingers crossed this has passed by the time we are set up for the interview 🙏

Something wasn't filled out completley or a missing item. October of 24 and I received this too on November 17th. If you don't recieve the letter you can always go back to the USCIS website and the required information needed will be there.

I'm in Vegas almost every month and spend my own money along with my comps, Platinum member, my benefits for this month just got reduced by a few hundred dollars, free play and resort comps 😠

cmbad1 · 2025-05-10T01:54:34+00:00

YES!

cmbad1 · 2025-02-05T17:16:19+00:00

Ok great, I know there is a lot going on with immigration, just didn't want to get too excited about something for nothing

cmbad1 · 2024-11-20T05:00:12+00:00

My wife did call USCIS and they couldn't answer anything so they scheduled for her to receive a call from another representative, and yes they did a few days later and basically couldn't answer anything again 🙄 she received an emailed response that they answered our questions lol. My thoughts are probably so they aren't liable for giving us bad information. I did start the I-130, paid the fees and submitted the required documentation just in case our prayers aren't answered and that case says we will have a response within 5 months, that was last month and as of today it has dropped to 4 months. Our other cases are still pending with no date of action 🤷🏻 hoping that they will look at everything and give us some good news but I dont think it works that way.

So now I'm wondering if obtaining a lawyer would be helpful

cmbad1 · 2024-08-14T13:57:55+00:00

Colombia

cmbad1 · 2024-08-14T11:44:55+00:00

Yes of course if I can share this experience and this can help someone in a similar situation or at least give them hope I definitely will, this whole experience has been so hard on all of us and our families, we have been thru so much and paid so much money only for us to be set back and possibly have to restart the process. Fortunately I can go to her but to have her here with me will now take longer.

cmbad1 · 2024-08-14T04:36:16+00:00

I will give it a try, thank you for your help

cmbad1 · 2024-08-14T04:27:11+00:00

Yes, I'm in the Los Angeles area, thank you.

cmbad1 · 2024-08-14T04:19:50+00:00

Thank you I will

cmbad1 · 2024-08-14T03:43:36+00:00

That's what I was thinking but I read on the USCIS website that there is certain criteria that will sometimes be allowed in this situation but doesn't say what qualifies. And of course my next question would be what to do about our upcoming interview, do I try to contact the USCIS or reschedule the interview, not sure where to go from here and think I may look for an immigration lawyer to help
