Hello everyone !

I filed for AOS in june 5th, and i recievd an RFE on 13th june ( I forgot to include form i-864 along side biometric appointment ) the RFE was responded to on july 2nd the same day my biometric Appointment was, I havent heard anything back from the USCIS since, No EAD or interview schaduled,
My question here is the RFE holding back my EAD approval and the interview? the RFE was responded to 80 days ago.
Based on your obersevation how long it takes the USCIS to generally process form I-864 RFE, is there any standarized timeline ?
Thank you all!

is it ok to ask the officer to repeat the sentence several times, including in the middle of writing the answer?

also how strict are they on spelling?, my wife often forgets to pluralize words

thanks

Hello,

My husband entered the country through the K-1 visa in 2018 (and this website was SO helpful!!! We did it without the help of a lawyer!). Due to the pandemic, we kind of fell through the cracks and he finally got his green card in 2023.

His Canadian passport is due to expire in December. He wants to renew it, but he is concerned because he has to send in the old one, and if there s a family emergency, he won t be able to get to Canada.

What have you guys done in this circumstance? Is there a way to get into your home country and back into the states while your passport renewal is pending?

TIA

I don't have an oath date yet. Currently waiting for interview, but looking at trends of oaths, I am expecting my oath to be on or about Oct 17. I am due to fly abroad on Oct 25.

If this is how my citizenship processing timeline unfolds, I know the only hope I have to get a passport in time is to apply for urgent one day processing at a passport office. How realistic is this though? What are the odds of getting an appointment at a location that is drivable from where I live?

Any other ideas anyone has on how I can not postpone an oath, and still be able to travel?

I was pushed out of my job about 4 months after I sent my application. Many of us were asked to go back to the office (we were hired as remote) and in some cases (like mine) the distance and time of commute made it impossible to continue working there. I decided to go back to freelancing within my husbands company (which i used to do years ago, a small LLC where he does videography and I do design) but i'm still trying to get clients to work with me. I also decided to homeschool my kids and stay home, as well taking care of my 2 year old and i'm pregnant and due in January. How much of all of this do I have to disclose during my interview? Will I be asked about my current job? do i tell all this story? will starting over as a freelancer be of any concern to the interviewer (as in our ability to sustain ourselves)? Just fyi, my husband is American, and I've lived here since 2001. My interview/test is in a few weeks in October.
