I filed my I-751 back in December 2022 and the last update was last December where they transferred it to another office (NBC) as per USCIS page I could ask for an update since it's been so long, now my question is have you requested information and had a positive result? If so, how long after the request?

Thanks for any input.

I filed my AOS packet a few months ago, my I-130 is approved but I got an RFE on the I-485 because I uploaded the birth registration instead of the birth certificate.

I did get a new birth certificate from my local government, but I noticed my fathers name does not exactly match between my passport and my birth certificate.

Essentially he has a "kumar" appended at the end of his first name in my birth cert. So its "FirstNameKumar LastName" on my birth cert and "FirstName LastName" on my passport and other documents. This is mostly a cultural thing and can be considered an honorific. I have a similar issue with my Mom's name.

The rest of the information matches. I'm wondering if I should just upload this as is because its a minor thing or try to explain it with an affidavit from my Parents ?

Hello all, I am helping a friend with her case.

In March 2024, the petitioner attempted to withdraw her K1 visa petition by sending a formal letter. However, she never received any official confirmation or cancellation notice from USCIS regarding this withdrawal. Despite the petitioner's action, the beneficiary's K1 interview proceeded in May 2024 and was subsequently approved.

Following the approval, the beneficiary entered the U.S., married the petitioner within the mandated 90-day period, and they proceeded to file for Adjustment of Status (AOS). At the time of filing AOS, they were advised by a preparer to disregard the earlier withdrawal attempt, with the understanding that the subsequent marriage would supersede any complications arising from it. They have substantial evidence to prove a bona fide marriage.

I found out of this when she requested help to complete the AOS form for a K2 beneficiary. I advised them to seek legal counsel before incurring further expenses. They have since been quoted $5K by a lawyer simply to assess whether they should proceed with their case.

Any thoughts or experience with this type of situation.

The petition you have filed does not allow derivative status for family members. This means that any spouse, unmarried child under age 21, or parent will require his or her own petition to immigrate

I have filed for cr1 for my wife and my child is already a US citizen, not sure what they are referring to. Any help would be appreciated

Hello,

I have a family member who is my joint sponsor and they don't feel comfortable showing their bank account but will show the value of their home. The question is what are the different way that are acceptable in showing the value of the home besides getting a costly new appraisal?

Would a recent property tax bill from the city showing an old assessment amount of 600k on the bill be acceptable?

Or would a recent 300k reverse mortgage offer from a company also be acceptable?
