The ball starts rolling (hopefully)
Finally mailed out the package of filled and signed forms so the big boy can go forward to file the I-130 petition for immediate relative. This whole process is going to take much longer than we initially thought. The current waiting time is at least 9 months and some people have been waiting for 2 years!!
Looks like the approval may not come through for another year! We may have to change our plan i.e. have me visit as a visitor first and then come home to attend the interview. That’s our plan B and hopefully that coincides with my plan to come home during CNY 2009.
Don’t you think it’s strange? Apparently I can’t apply to adjust my status when I am in US as a visitor, the process and the final interview still has to be done in my home country. Red tapes and bureaucracy do not just happen in third world. :-)
