Abandon Adjustment of Status

My adjustment of status application was received by USCIS on April 21 2022, so 11 months ago. Neither my EAD nor AP have been approved as yet.

Just very recently, my mother back in Australia, has been diagnosed with High Grade Neuroendocrine Cancer. She has started undergoing Chemotherapy treatment 11 days ago, which will be ongoing.

I applied for Emergency Advance Parole, and attended an interview earlier this week. My mother is 81 years old, a widow and lives alone. She will be needing someone to be with her in her home, until a more permanent solution is put into place. As there is absolutely no one in my family that is able to do this, it has been put onto me to be there for her.

My interview with the USCIS was not successful and my application was denied. Their reason? Because my background security check has not yet been completed. This, despite having the correct paperwork, as well as a letter from my mother's Oncologist stating her exact medical diagnosis, treatment and future outlook.

Was their reason a valid one? Is it a viable enough reason to deny an urgent emergency advance parole request?

I am being left with no option than to return to Australia, and therefore abandoning my AOS application. What I need to know is! Will I be able to apply for the Spouse Visa after my return to Australia? If so, how long will I have to wait before being allowed to do so?

Re-entering on ESTA

Hey guys.

This forum was very helpful on my last post and ypu all advised me not to bother with the K1 visa, instead to visit my partner on an ESTA visa.

Basic overview - I am a UK citizen, living in Australia and have a partner from the US. We're trying to figure a way to not have to do this long distance anymore. So I'd like to temporarily move to the US to be with him (I will not be working). We are then planning to come back to Australia mid next year to settle for a while, while I do my citizenship. Best to be married for that so that's what we will plan to do.

My question right now is what is the go with re-entering on an ESTA?

Our timeline looks like this for 2023/2024:

Our current plans look like this for 2023/2024:
- I am visiting him for 2 weeks May/July.
- I am going to the UK to visit family and for a trip to Italy for 4 weeks.
- I would visit him again for 4 weeks, end of July to end of August.
- We would both go to the UK for a 2 week visit.
- I would come back with him early September.
- We would vacation out of the US for 10 days/2 weeks before heading back together.
- We fly to the UK for Christmas, for 2 weeks.
- I would fly back again with him in Jan, we would get engaged in the following couple of months.
- We plan a 2/3 week vacation to the UK/France in March.
- I fly back to the US with him and we would marry in May.
So, I would be re-entering the US 5 times in a time period of 7 months. Never for more than 90 days. All the while being able to prove to immigration that I am independently financially capable of not needing employment.
I am also looking at volunteering during these stays, either at a humane society or the forestry service where he lives and would hopefully be able to provide a letter from the organisation stating I am volunteering only.
If anyone has any experience in this, please let me know!
Thank you!

Where to Check Case Status

Hey guys, I know this seems like a dumb question, but...

My husband and I submitted our I-751 about a week ago and for the life of us we cannot figure out where to check for updates for our case. The reminder to file letter that we received doesn't include any log in details, but all of our previous accounts don't show anything. Can anyone shed some light on this? I hate just sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for a letter to arrive.

Sydney, AU

E3 Visa - Timeline

- Approved @ Interview and was told printing is taking a week and they kept. This reflected approved on CEAC on the same day... (Tuesday 14)

- Refused on CEAC (Thursday 16), with the long message:

"A U.S. consular officer has adjudicated and refused your visa application. Please follow any instructions provided by the consular officer. If you were informed by the consular officer that your case was refused for administrative processing, your case will remain refused while undergoing such processing. You will receive another adjudication once such processing is complete. Please be advised that the processing time varies and that you will be contacted if additional information is needed. For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV or the website for the Embassy or Consulate at which you made your visa application.
For more information, please visit U.S. Consulate General Sydney."

I've not received any contact, email or phone call. The Sales force home page (where I made my booking) say Passport is still with Consulate.

Is this something I should be concerned about?
