Hello, I just wanted to see if anybody else had this experience working with the paris consulate, I searched back and got mixed results. I contacted NVC initially in January and they said the consulate had not received it yet, and I contacted them start of this month because I had not received any communication from Paris and they gave me my case number. I checked CEAC and the status was already "READY", but me or my fianc has not received any paper letters or emails from Paris, and my NOA2 says it expires end of this month. Are we good to go ahead and try scheduling the interview, doing medical and such? I want to make sure she doesn't need a specific interview letter or anything. Is there a good way to contact Paris in case I need an extension? I sent ParisIV email address an email but I have yet to get a response.

Thank you very much!

Hi,

My daughter is an LPR , a year ago she applied for her husband after they married outside of US.

How long it will take review the petition I 130 for them?

Thank you in advance

Hi y all, I wanted to start a thread for those like me who filed an i-130 in June 2025.

My infant daughter is still waiting to be approved but my 2yr old son and husband have submitted documents to NVC.

(she s behind because she was just born in 2025)

Hi, I was wondering if I would need to have the flu vaccine for the green card interview? I had my K1 medical before flu season so didn t need the flu vaccine so it was marked as complete, but my green card interview will be in flu season.

Thank you!

My friend was scammed.
IMO This is a perfect example of why USCIS demands so much evidence
Here's the background:
He met a woman online years ago.
They got engaged like 6 or maybe 7 years ago and while at the beginning I saw many red flags they seemed happy and it wasn't my business.
I even met the woman when I visited my GF at the time and she seemed very nice.
She was certainly a drama queen though and always sick with mystery ailments.

She kept postponing her visa appointments due to illness and even lied about her CFO.
She told him that she failed because they asked her if she knew the Filipino consulate's phone # in the state in the US she would be in and because she did not have it memorized they failed her. Yeah. BS
Then she got approval and my friend booked her flight and her mother supposedly had a stroke and was in a Coma. So it was further delayed.
Then her visa expired. He was mad and they broke up but kept speaking.
He thought she just didn't want to leave her family

He went on vacation to Thailand and she surprised him and met him there and they rekindled their relationship
They tried to reapply or reinstate the K1 visa but of course there were problems and more delays.

Then he was contacted by another American.

Seems he was dating her for several years too.
Gave her an ipad and for whatever reason he suspected something and checked it.

Turns out she was seeing 4 or more guys and had photos and correspondence on the ipad.
He found my friends info and contacted him.
Shared photos of her with him and the other guys to prove she was a scammer

He has notified USCIS and revoked his support for the K1 visa.

My question is this;
Does he have any recourse to make a fraud complaint with USCIS so she is on file as a scammer?
This may help the next poor SOB if she gets engaged to another American.
Does USCIS even care about this kind of thing?
