Here's where we stand. We moved back to USA on Aug. 25 2021. The plan was to wait for the interview to be scheduled, then fly back to Taiwan and finish up, but NVC recently asked for 2020 w-2 from household member. Wife can only stay 90 days. We have no news of interview. We also had a son during this whole process. Our son is now 14 months old. If she goes back to Taiwan to wait for her interview, we have no idea how long that will be (and I wouldn't be surprised if NVC asks for another document. This feels never ending). Anyways, I don't want to go with her, nor do I want her to take our son. She will have to quarantine in a hotel for 2 weeks upon arrival, that's why I don't want our son to go with her. Her 90 days tourist visa runs up soon (November 25th). Does anyone think she should go back to Taiwan (November 20th) and wait for interview then come back, or stay put here and start the process over so her interview can be done here in USA. She doesn't want to start over, but I'm worried about being a single father for who knows how many months. Any recommendations?
