Has anyone seen something like this before? I've had my interview on the 12th of February where the officer told me I would get my passport with Visa within 10 business days. Now the tracker says Approved and not issued yet. Also the case created date keeps shifting with every business day.

Hi everyone. My fianc and I have filed our K1 in December (4th). We got our first letter to say they've received it, which I believe is NOA1?, which states they received it on January 31st. I am assuming that we should take the January date when researching how long it might take. We recently saw the price increases on all the immigration forms etc, however I'm having trouble to figure out which fees will apply to us. I'm assuming that we will not receive our NOA2 before April, that would be way too fast, so I'm assuming the only fee we got 'lucky' with was the first filing fee. Does anyone have an estimate of which fees would apply for us and how much they would total after the increase?

Seeking Advice on Affidavit of Support I-864 for CR1 Visa Process |

My wife and I are preparing for our move to the U.S. with a CR1 visa, following her I-130 petition for me. We're currently living abroad but planning ahead to avoid delays, even though we haven't reached the NVC stage yet. My wife is still considered domiciled in the U.S., as our stay overseas is temporary, and her address in the U.S. is with her parents, where we plan to live upon our arrival until we have found our own place. This address was also listed on our I-130 form. Last year, my wife was completing her graduate studies and did not earn enough to meet the income requirements for sponsorship. As a result, her parents have agreed to be our additional sponsors. Since they file their taxes jointly, we're exploring the best approach for them to become sponsors: - Form I-864A Use: Is it appropriate for my wife's parents to use Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, in our situation? If so, considering their joint tax filing, is it necessary for both parents to complete the form, or would only one parent suffice? Additionally, how would this choice affect the household size calculation for the I-864A form would it be 3 if one parent fills it out, and 4 if both do?
- Regular I-864 Form: Alternatively, could they opt for the regular I-864 form as joint sponsors instead? If choosing this route, how does it impact the household size calculation would it then be considered 2 for the purposes of the I-864 form?
- Comparison and Recommendation: Are there any advantages or disadvantages between choosing Form I-864A versus the regular I-864 form for our situation?
I appreciate any guidance or experiences shared, as we want to avoid any delays because of RFEs. Thank you in advance for your help!

Wrong address on marriage certificate |

Hi all, I got married at a courthouse in the US a few weeks ago. In my excitement (or simply a misunderstanding) I accidentally gave them my birthplace address twice, instead of my birthplace and current residence. I did live at my birth address for many years of my life and only moved to my new address a year ago (it's a student dorm, but I am currently registered at that address). I was wondering if this makes my marriage certificate invalid, since I did not give them the correct information about my current residence and if this will impact my upcoming CR1 visa application. Amending this would be difficult as I went back to my home country and my partner is getting deployed soon. Thank you in advance!

So fed up with USCIS… |

So today I made the mistake of calling USCIS to see if there is an update because I was supposed to call them if I hadn t heard back after 120 days after my last interaction with them. Well, that didn t go as I had hoped.. Timeline of what happened when: August 2021: Filed I-751 *crickets* December 2022: Biometrics *crickets* June 2023: Received RFE for evidence of continued marital life, etc (because, and I quote, your case was submitted in August 2021 so we need updated info ) June 2023: Submitted requested info, received confirmation from UPS with date and time of receipt by USCIS. I had to send the RFE response info to the California Field Office in Fresno, which I think was odd.. Was told in RFE letter that they would respond within 60 days September 2023: Contacted USCIS because I received no update or answer. They couldn t find my RFE response info. They submitted a request and I received an email stating that my case was sent to the California Field Office at the end of 2022 (why is it there??) and that I should call back if I haven t heard back after 120 days Today: I called them and they say they still see no record of receiving the RFE response packet I sent, even though I know it was delivered. Rep told me to send it again because otherwise they might close my case . While she is on the phone with me, she all of a sudden asks for my phone number and email, and during the call I receive an email asking me to complete the survey on how satisfied I am about USCIS Customer Service (WTH???). I get it, mistakes happen and sometimes files get lost etc. but the thing that just makes me SO mad is the fact that they make it so hard to get in touch with them, they give crazy timelines (and don t you dare call us at day 58 if we told you to wait 60 days), and no helpful info at all! I could have resent the RFE response 4 months ago if they would have just told me that they don t have it. So frustrated right now
