good afternoon all.

i wanted some assistance on my case. married to a us citizen, I applied concurrently with all the appropriate forms i-130, I-485 etc

i have had my green card interview scheduled. Attended the interview with my wife, during the interview we were told that the marriage is bonafide and that they are happy with all the documents. However, they do not see any evidence of intention to remain in the US. She said that she is worried I would get the green card then leave the country and since it is a 10 year green card, she wants to make sure that she sees intent to remain. So she asked to upload new documents to the I-485 portal, things such as a lease and insurance etc. or job.

i have since then moved into a rental property with my partner (as we were previously living with family)

I have also since uploaded all relevant documentation, lease agreement, water, gas and electric bills. And my new work contract.

she said if you upload it within a couple weeks she will get a notification that an upload has been made and she would approve my case if I upload the correct document.

so far it has been 2 months since my interview and since I uploaded the documents. I am wondering if it is just a waiting game? Or is there something I can do to get them going again on my case, since my interview they have approved my I-765 (work permit) and my I-130. But the I-485 remains as interview scheduled on the website.

if anyone can help that would be a great help.

Hello all,

Need some clarification - I am asking for someone, US citizen filed I-130 for parent in March 2025 - and estimated time until case decision is 13 months.

However, parent is going through Alzheimer's and might not able to remember much things when the interview comes around.

How long can the parent stay out of their country and stay in the US and can the case be expedited or the case being adjusted while visiting here in the US on a visitor's visa?

Hey Guys,

you probably get this question a lot because it seems unclear to me. My wife entered the U.S. on a K1 and K2 for her son. About to file AOS but it s saying I don t need to file I-693 medical form but instead I could send in a DS-3025 vaccination worksheet, however my wife says she and our son never got that when they did the medical in Jamaica.

should I just send in the application without medical or vaccination worksheet?

please advise the best way forward.

My Uncle's naturalization interview is scheduled for November 6 (N400 filed in November last year). Unfortunately, he was charged with a DUI last weekend and has retained a DUI attorney. His first court date is on November 4, but the matter will not be resolved by then.

Given the current political climate - should he proceed with the interview, request to reschedule, or withdraw his N-400 application?

If he reschedules, will USCIS allow him to choose a new date, or will one be assigned?

If he contacts USCIS, what should he say to avoid negatively impacting his case?

Thank you so much!

Looking for some assistance or guidance. My wife arrived to the US on her IR-1 visa last week. We filed all the paperwork with her taking my last name. Her visa in her passport has her maiden name. Today we got her social security card and it has her maiden name. Any idea of the green card will come with her maiden name or my last name?

In the Latin American culture they generally don't change last names and we were not going to do it but we were advised to do it to make things easier.

If the green card will have her maiden name, I am fine with sticking with her maiden name. Have any of you dealt with this?
