Hi,

We filed ROC Feb 2023, received 48 months extension letter, what is next? Can you apply for citizenship in 3 years mark after marriage (early 2024) without receiving 10 years residency.

How to inquire about the status of the ROC? the extension will expire early 2025. Thank you for your insights.

Hi! I am currently at NVC stage and gathering all civil documents. one document I need to obtain is deportation document as I stupidly overstayed an esta by 2 days a few years back and got removed from the US. I can t seem to find what I m looking for on Google, any help? Thanks in advance !

I am a UK citizen and my husband is a US citizen

We've been married just two years and I'm filing for divorce. I can't stand my wife. I've fallen out of love and don't like the way she treats me. She's also been neglecting our baby.

She has two kids of her own that I'm a step parent to, but never adopted. She's dead set on fighting the divorce and says she doesn't have to work and expects me to support her and her two kids for the next ten years because of the Affidavit of Support I filed on their behalf.

She does have an education and she is working, so she has the ability to support herself.

Am I expected to support her for ten years when she's capable of working? For her sake and the sake of her kids she should be working. As I am asking for sole custody of our baby, she would be required to pay child support.

Hi everyone!

I just had 2 quick questions.

I filed for AOS after getting married on the K1 visa. I got my work permit shortly after but absolutely nothing in regards to the travel permit.

We got an RFE because we submitted the I-864 for our joint sponsor (parents in law) without submitting one for my husband who is my sponsor because I thought we didn't need to do that. So we got an RFE and resubmitted an I-864 for my husband and I-864A for his dad & mom (they file everything together and the income on the tax records is their total income, both of which meet the requirements individually). But we haven't heard anything since and we sent our response in early March. From the limited knowledge I have, cases are approved quickly after RFEs but we have been waiting 2 months now. Is this normal? What is the average time on this?

I also wanted to travel back home to renew my passport. Is this a valid reason to ask for an expedited travel permit?

Thank you

I wasn't sure where to post this or how to properly search the forums for a potential similar thread.

my bride is very close to her family and the sibling she's closest to is quite ill.

her I-485 was approved 12/01/2023 and the letter states that if her green card has not arrived within 90 days to call NBC. on or about March 1 I called and said "green card" to the automated phone software. this software is only programmed to respond to the phrase "green card" by ASSuming that the caller wants a replacement. I replied in the negative. asking the software for a representative returns the reply that "...if you ask for a representative again I will terminate the call".

a few days later I decided to get my local representative involved. they indicate that they can intercede about problems with a federal agency. they did so and the response from NBC was to REISSUE the same letter from the prior December. this makes it look like NBC is doing something when in reality they are not. as of May 6 there is STILL no green card and my bride wants to travel to Thailand a see her family.

today I contacted my representative's office again and related the current situation. further, I filed the same complaint with my U.S. senator.

after plowing through the USCIS website until I'm cross eyed. I don't think she can meet the emergency travel requirements. getting medical docs translated by a recognized service in her sister's area of Thailand ain't gonna happen.

thanks for any insight
