US Immigration from Argentina

I'm beneficiary of IR1- Cr1 Visa I'm unemployed, my health is delicate, and we have a 2 year old son. We're staying at my mother's house until my visa process is done and we'll be reunited again. Very painful. Anyway, my country is going through extreme hardship, factories closing down, extreme poverty, people not being able to afford basic things. My husband has a job but cam't always send my son and I money. Cause he's saving up for the trip and everyrhing that inmigration takes and he doesn't have a college degree. He makes enough to sponsor me but not a fortune. I'm a stay at home mom mainly because I have health limitations. Would getting goverment benefits in my country for my 2 and a half year old, affect my visa approval? We want more than anything to be together as a family so I don't want to get denied. Our child couldn't take not seeing his dad. Getting benefits involves going to a goverment agency in my country, getting registered, get food stamps along with the funds (very little) but still.

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately, my wife and I have decided to separate.
She is American, and in 2023, we started my green card petition.
It was approved in December 2023.
This December 2025, it will expire, and I have to remove the conditions on it.
Since we live in Florida, we can divorce 100% online.
The thing is, we got married in Fort Lauderdale, and the company offering the service says the divorce would be in another county that is faster.
My question is: does it change anything if the divorce is done in a county other than Broward or Miami-Dade for USCIS?
Fortunately, my ex-wife and I have an excellent relationship, and we can talk about everything.
Otherwise, the other option would be to do it through the family court in Miami-Dade, but it seems it takes almost 2 months.
On the other hand, with the online option, we wouldn't have to move at all, and it would be faster.
I understand that the divorce decree would say "XYZ county" instead of Miami-Dade or Broward.
My concern is that USCIS might think we are doing something suspicious!

What do you recommend?
Does it change anything?

Thanks!!

Hi! I would like to run our situation to get your input: We filed i130 from outside the US PD March 21st 2024 and my petitioner USC just received a job offer in the US. Considering the current processing times ( IR1 ) do you think it is worth it requesting an expedite processing at this point? Pros / cons? Thanks for reading and happy Friday

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for reading my letter.

Since 2020 I have been going through the GC process.
I have the I-140 NIW approved in 2023.

We have been denied (along with my family) the I-485, with no way to defend the case and based on a denial of an I-601 that I never received and is listed as pending.

I filed an I-290B for myself only (which includes my family) 10 months ago (may2024), and I have not heard anything from uscis.
I am asking please if you can give me any suggestions on how to move our case.

Thank you again.

Hello everyone, it seems like many people are having problems findings available slot open for their VAC OFC in Manila for Photo and Fingerprints. I called the US Embassy Manila and they were of no help. Embassy interview on March 20th and until now on the OFC Manila nothing is available until April. Here is my question, what if we go the interview without the Biometrics would they hold the visa until the biometrics received?
