I submitted a service request on May 2nd that has yet to be looked at! GRR COME THE F ON USCIS! Any San Antonio K1 to i485 approvals in here?

We moved to Corpus last month from Tennessee. I think we will be in San Antonio. Haven't heard anything.

I had my interview on April 29th and still have not heard anything.

 

The made an RFE straight away which was responded to in days.

 

Anyone else in a similar situation?

 

My lawyer said they have four months before we can chase them.

 

We also received a RFE at the interview. Based on an InfoPass appointment, we were told the IO waits until the "call up date" to go into the fileroom at the Chicago field office to see if we responded to the RFE. Per research, the call up date is usually a few days after the time passes for which you to send the response - about 87 days is typical. Our interview was 3/21 and our expected call up date was mid June. We had a congressman intervene and were approved 8 days after the email was sent. But otherwise it really is a waiting game. In the RFE notice, it would have stated by which date you have to respond.

My interview was also at the Chicago field office!

 

Can you give me any advice on how to get a congressman involved please?

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

You have to research who your congressman is. And then you send an email to their office. But they will only act on your behalf if there is a legitimate need to expedite the case. Otherwise they will say that it is well within processing times. Only the congressman in your specific area (where your home address is) can act on your behalf. Depends on the congressman, but some may or may not want to reach out to USCIS.

Thank you very much. I guess I'll just wait it out then.

 

As long as I can travel on my AP, I don't need the GC.

What was your RFE for?

Missing police certificate and, for some bizarre reason, our prenuptial agreement.

 

The IO asked if we had one. We said yes. She asked for a full copy. 

 

She he also asked if it said anything about immigration in it - which was odd. Of course it doesn't!

Sorry to butt in here. But I never made a Pre nuptial agreement. Are these common? Hope they don't asked for one.  USCIS do ask for some crazy stuff sometimes.

They have absolutely nothing to do with this process.

 

If you or your wife have significant assets, you might consider one.

 

Again; they really none of USCIS' business.

That is SO weird that they would not only ask for it, but also ask if there is any provisions regarding immigration in there.

Agreed!

 

The IO was new to the job as she was being observed by another IO.

Hi Everyone.

 

an update on my parents AOS from a B1/B2

 

Filed 11/16

EAD Approved 03/08

EAD received 03/14

I485 status since received was "Fingerprint Fee Received" it never changed to anything and I was hoping for the best

Today, 05/08, they're I-485 was Approved and interview waived! Couldn't be happier, I had a good feeling that it had never changed to "Ready to be scheduled for interview"

 

This is the end of the process, I'll send an update on here when they receive the GC

Hope all November filers are getting to the finish line as well

 

 

11/10/17 - Card was mailed to me

[Hope&Love 38]

Am I the only November filler who's stuck in "Fingerprint received"? No REF

If you're adjusting from K1 then there's a good chance you won't need an interview. I'm adjusting from F1 so I will need an interview. 

Same here. F1 too
