K1 Visa Delays: So frustrated and disappointed, I don't know what to do
Ecofolux2427 posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures,
We applied for the K-1 Visa back in September 2021... no updates, no progression. I don't know what to do, I see some people from May 2021 still waiting. It's infuriating!-

ESTA To AOS Potential Problem?
Generaltito posted a topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas,
I met and married a wonderful woman who entered the US on an ESTA in 2020. At the time of our marriage, she had overstayed her ESTA by over one year . We married after nine months of dating (June 2022). We are starting the process of adjustment of status. She told me last night that she cancelled her return ticket home a few months after her 90 day ESTA expired. She has also been working in the US illegally since May 2021...-

Travel before applying for AOS
lovinglive posted a topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas,
My fiance and I have decided to apply for AOS instead of spousal visa. But we will not be able to do the wedding and submit the AOS application before my fiance's visa entry expires. I read before that there is a small chance that my fiance could be detained for overstaying her visa. But we also need to travel before our wedding. Will it be a problem to take flights after the visa entry expires? Would we be better to stick to other forms of transport? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or experience you have...-

Why does the US hate AOS from tourist visas?
Jordanian Bride posted a topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion,
I've been studying the immigration process very closely ever see we embarked on this journey, and I don't get it from a US point of view. If you adjust status, then you qualify for a green card, and your visa bulletin is current. It's not like you are adjusting status despite an ineligibility to do so. What kind of problems, possibly security or workload related does it create for USCIS for aliens to adjust status from a tourist visa...-

Waiting for AOS/EAD - how do people spend these 6-9 months without work?
LJVotolato posted a topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration,
I'm getting frustrated waiting for my AOS approval... Do people really NOT work for those 6-9 months it takes for your AOS to be approved? I applied for my EAD with my AOS in December 2021 and it says the case is pending.
So how do you spend your days?-

1 RepliesHi everyone,
Me and my fianc finally got married on March 18, 2023 on a K1 Visa. We are currently filling out forums I-485 and I-765. But cannot find clarity on how to mail them in (since we are mailing both forums together) and can't find the filing fees. If anyone has been through this process and can advise us where to look, etc. it would be greatly appreciated. We tried looking on the USCIS website but it wasn't giving us much information. Thank you in advance.
Post-DQ, if CEAC shows \'Accepted\' for Petitioner and \'Submitted\' for Joint Sponsor... 9:23 pm today

1 Replies1. Does it mean that they aren't using the Joint Sponsor? (Screenshot ?)
2. Step 10 (here) states that applicants "do not need to bring [their] Affidavit of Support or financial evidence [they] submitted to NVC."
Is this accurate? I've seen multiple accounts here mentioning that they bring thei sponsor's updated I-864 + Financial Evidence to the interview.
Can my father be derivative of my mother when i130 for my mother is approved. 9:11 pm today

3 RepliesHello,
I submitted i130 for my mother in June 2022 and my father in July 2023. Currently my mom I130 is just showing "your case is taking longer....." status while my dad I130 shows "4 months". Based on others' experience, this may mean their case can be approved with some months apart. So I am wondering if my dad can join my mom as "derivative beneficiary" when her I130 is approved. Has anyone tried it before? I would love to hear your experience.
Thanks.

It is a site where show you the next possible step with percentage for each form (i485 and etc).
For example, if you are on biometric, next step about 70 percentage received interview is scheduled and 29 percentage blah blah.
Thank you
