US Immigration from Kenya

Has anyone used a certified copy of their spouses passport from Kenya for your tax return? I feel like 16-18 weeks is an awful long time to give the IRS her passport in case our petition moves quickly.

I know the usual: "Tell your friend to join us." I've informed him so and will be sending the link to this to him so that he can participate. Below is his question. I just copied and pasted it, from what he sent me.

I have a friend who submitted his I130 for his spouse on December 15, 2019. His case was forwarded to Nebraska Service Center. On February 9th, 2020 his case was updated online to "your benefit case has been accepted and under review" and later the date was updated to February 23rd 2020 with the same message. What does that mean? Is the case under consideration or is it going through processing like security check? Thank you.

Hi,

I filed my I-130 but forgot to include the form I-130 a.

the latest update online says that my case is under review.

should I go Ahead and send the I-130a or should I wait to hear back from USCIS (either get an RFE or otherwise)?

Thank you all.

So far anyone with an interview date this month (2020) on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th of March did NOT get to have their interview. (I suspect this will go on even further day by day, but not sure.) The Nairobi embassy facebook page says that there is an outage. Day by day, they are canceling interviews scheduled for that day. Am starting this thread to make available for anyone who is apart of this experience and if you could share your updates if any (what was your original interview date and if you ever get a reply about your rescheduled interview date, can you alert us here?)

My beneficiary's interview date (CR-1 spousal visa):
March 4, 2019 (we received an email that our interview is cancelled and they will get back with us with a new interview date)

Reason posted on the Nairobi embassy facebook page:

"Technicians are working around the clock to repair damaged consular systems to ensure all visa, passport, and American citizen services can be processed fully without further inconvenience and delays for our customers."

My spouse added me to his stocks as a beneficiary can I put this on question 8c on DS 5540?
