Have your friends applied from the Old Portal aswell? I've heard its much faster using the new portal I applied for my parents recently from Oman (Abu Dhabi visa office), trying to understand how long it is taking people to get their visitor visa's now.

Was it a visitor visa application? Did you apply using the new portal? The processing time for UAE shows 215 days

Hey, how long did they visitor visa application take from Oman? I'm applying for my parents visitor visa and worried about the timeline

Did you file the visitor visa application in Saudi Arabia?

Hi everyone, I have a similar situation where I am planning on inviting my parents and sister for my upcoming wedding. I am a PR here and want my family to visit for 2 weeks for my upcoming wedding. I will be sponsoring them during their stay. I plan on attaching the official wedding invitation...

I had used Matkowsky Immigration Law in my situation.

I hired lawyers that wrote a very strong (50-page) explanation with multiple reasonings, explanation, screenshots from my application and most importantly held up many federal court cases that helped portray the situation and benefitted in my favor. After submission of that letter, it took about...

Just to give everyone a quick update, I got my pr approved.

I have been to the US previously (I have a valid B1/B2 visa) and those show up in my I-94 travel history similar to what is shown during my flagpoling. The problem is, I have lost the piece of paper provided to me at the border. Although, I have requested a FOIA application to the US Customs...

That is indeed very weird, I would suggest if you are curious as to what happened exactly, file a FOIA application to CBP and request all the information on their system. This will provide you with all accurate information that you need and will also serve as backup documentation if you apply...

Sometimes the officer might might overlook or forget to dig into past visa refusals and denial of entries. I have multiple friends who had visa refused to the US and they did not declare it in their PR application and still got approved. I would suggest say 'yes' and explain that is was for...

When I check the Travel History section on the I-94 website online, it only shows 'ARRIVAL' the day I went for flagpoling, compared to my previous travel to the US (not for flagpoling) where it say's for 'ARRIVAL' and 'DEPARTURE'. It does NOT say denial of entry anywhere in the I-94 Travel...
