Post by suny » Mon Jun 11, 2007 12:34 pm

my dad is a green card holder and a pernanent resident of US

me my mom and my younger bro were applied by my dad in E3 category.

abt two years ago we recieved a letter from DELHI-US EMBASSY abt some instructions abt visa. and at end there were names of travelling applicants and those were me , my mom and my brother.

now the Priority dates became current in june and we got a letter abt visa appointment and there were only two travelling applicants ( my mom and my brother)

my name was not there for interview.

i am now 21 years and 6 months old.

may be this be the reason......
i emailed the embassy and the replied that due to i became 21 yrs in january 2007 hence i am ilelligible for visa.

when i call then b4 they send me email reply , they said that u can come with ur documents and immigrant officers will see the situation.

but now they have clearly replied me in email that i am not elligible.

can anybody help me suggestinng any strong idea or way abt how to travel in same category with my mom and brother?

if not then what is the solutin for this types of cases for travelling to US asap.

i am from India.

also the forms and applications were filled and submitted by my dad b4 i was 21 yrs old.
plz help me i am very depressed. :cry:

E3 is an employment based category. It sounds like you mean family based category. If so, when you turned 21 you changed from category F2A (spouses and children under 21 of Lawful Permanent Residents) to F2B (unmarried children over 21 of LPR's). Waiting times for F2B are 4-5 years longer than for F2A, for India (see here).

Has your father thought about applying to become a US citizen?

I am sorry but what you wrote does not make sense. E3 is an employment visa for Australian citizens only (see here) and has no upper age limit. EB3 is an employment based green card for skilled workers, and also has no upper age limit.

Is it possible that your father is the one in the US with an EB3 and that he has applied for you to join him as his dependents, i.e. family based preference?

Perhaps you could try to find out exactly how your father is trying to bring you to the US. If it is under the family preference, one way to speed things up would be for your father to become a US citizen. This is why I asked you if he was planning to apply. You may also try to post in the following US immigration forum
