US Immigration from Iran

Let's say an I-751 is submitted before the Green Card expiration, but the USCIS reviews the submission and finds a problem AFTER the expiration. Is that simply an RFE or are Green Card privileges lost because the submission wasn't "properly" filed before the Green Card expired?

Thank you for any insight.

Hello Visa Journey Members,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek your valuable advice and guidance on behalf of my fianc who is currently facing an issue in the K1 visa application process. As my fianc is an Iranian citizen, there is no U.S. embassy in Iran for the K1 visa process. Therefore, we have been advised to send her passport to the U.S. embassy in Ankara, Turkey in order to avoid taking a flight once her status turns to approved.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who has been through a similar situation or has knowledge about mailing passports from Iran to the Ankara Embassy could provide us with some insights. We have a few specific questions:

1. Shipping Options: Which shipping service(s) did you or your fianc use to mail the passport from Iran to the Ankara Embassy? Are there any specific couriers that are reliable, efficient, and have experience in handling passport delivery?
   

2. Required Documentation: Aside from the passport, are there any additional documents my fianc needs to include in the package when mailing it to the Ankara Embassy? Are there any specific forms, cover letters, or information that should be provided along with the passport?
   

3. Packaging Recommendations: Considering the sensitivity of the documents, what packaging recommendations or precautions should we take to ensure the safety and security of my fianc 's passport during transit? Are there any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the Ankara Embassy for packaging?
   

4. Tracking and Insurance: Should my fianc opt for tracking and insurance services when shipping her passport? If so, which options should she choose? Will she be able to track the shipment throughout its journey?
   

5. Expected Processing Time: Based on your experience, what is the average processing time for the Ankara Embassy to receive and process the mailed passport? Were there any delays or complications encountered during this step?
   

6. Communication with Ankara Embassy: How did you or your fianc establish communication with the Ankara Embassy during the process? Were they responsive to queries or concerns? Were any specific contact details provided for inquiries related to mailed passports?

We would greatly appreciate any additional advice, tips, or personal experiences you can share regarding mailing passports from Iran to the Ankara Embassy. We understand that each situation may vary, but your insights will certainly help us navigate this process with more confidence and peace of mind.

Thank you so much for your time and support. We look forward to hearing from you and benefiting from your expertise!

Best regards,

Inveigh

Hello everyone,

I wanted to inquire about the status of my fiance's K1 visa application. We recently went through the interview process and unfortunately, we were refused under 221(G). However, the counselor provided my fiance with a DS 5535 form to fill out and the status date has updated three times since the interview on the CEAC website from 08MAY2023, to 09MAY2023, to 10MAY2023 to 11MAY2023.

We are wondering if the multiple status updates mean that our case is moving quickly and if we should expect to hear something soon. Additionally, we were given a green slip after the interview which we filled out the first day as opposed to the other colors (Yellow, White, Blue).

Has anyone had a similar experience with their K1 visa application? Can anyone offer any insight or advice on what we can expect moving forward?

Thank you in advance for any information or support you can provide.
