Hi all,

One of the paralegals involved with our case has said that you can have the visa interview before the medical. I won't be doing it that way as will be doing medical before visa interview, however, I am just curious if anybody has done it this way around in terms of the process? As I haven't been able to see anything online regarding this.

Hope you can help!

I searched and did not find a thread for August 2023 I-130 Filers so wanted to get a thread going for us.

I m a USC and filed on August 3, 2023. Case was first at the Nebraska SC and later told it was transferred to the Potomac SC. Here s to a speedy unification with your loved ones!

Hello,

My wife submitted her N-400 on December 22nd, 2023. She has been checking the status everyday since with no change. We are now approaching the 6 month mark with the online status saying "5 days until decision". We are both getting concerned, has anyone had this happen to them before? Looking at the timeline information on VJ for our office and for online submission the average processing time is 4 months. We even have a friend who went through the process and lives maybe 15 minutes from us and is from the same country who's whole process took four months. We are almost at 6 and there is no new information since the day we submitted. We've also been diligent about checking the mail and making sure we stay on top of any letters that may come and nothing there either.

She doesn't understand what couldbe wrong, she has no criminal record, even her one speeding ticket she ever got was probably 8 years ago and no points were added. The two things I could think of is. 1; there was a period of time were we didn't report our addresses when we moved. This was because our daughter was born, was in the ICU and then died at 3 months old and we were both very emotionally distraught and honestly at that time, updating our address with USCIS after moving was the last thing on our mind. She explained this in a supplemental document with her application. 2; She didn't a tax return in 2022 because she didn't make any money. She explained this as well when she submitted her application, she wanted to be up front about everything.

In our minds, we don't think that those two minor things would be grounds for denial of a application. Any insight into why maybe going on would be great, we are just so perplexed by this.

Thank you!

I got the temporary residency approved in 2021 to expire in 2023. I have applied for the removal of conditions (which is still pending) and was given 48 months. My question is am I qualified for early filling for the n400 despite the pending 10 year residency?

Hello everyone!

Hope you are doing well

I have two questions with regards to IR-1/CR-1 spouse visa process:

Q1: I would like to get an idea of the IR-1/CR-1 spouse visa process cost broken down into stages (documents) with their costs, i.e. the cost of the documents the PETITIONER (US citizen) submits, and the cost of the documents the FOREIGN SPOUSE has to submit.

Or if anyone knows where I can find this information, I would appreciate if you could share the link.

Q2: If the petitioner's living address changes after submitting the I-130 form, do we need to update the form with the new address, how does it need to be updated? And what is more important, will the address change cause any delay in the whole visa process?

Thank you so much in advance!
