US Immigration from Brazil

We waited for the 90 days prior window to open. We carefully prepared and sent the removal of conditions packet before travelling to immigrant's home country for a wedding celebration (3 years of waiting to finally hold a wedding in her country). By some twisted fate, the USCIS decided to act with lightning speed and schedule an appointment in the short term. I got back and received the mail 2 days after the appointment had passed. Since then, we have called 3 times, I have uploaded a letter as additional evidence to our case, and we have gotten absolutely nowhere, all under constant threat of our application being discarded.

The first call, we were given a reference number and told to wait for the rescheduling. It never happened. Our second call, the gal was a little more helpful. Unfortunately, a few days lot we got an email saying we could reschedule online, as if this were a solution. It' wasn't, of course, as we cannot reschedule online. We called back to try again, since the canned solution does us no good, and guess what? We can't make another request for an additional 30 days. I guess it wouldn't be a "visa journey" without some mind-numbing incompetence strewn along the way.

For those interested, this link covers important details about rescheduling, as well as good cause. If you want to go a step further, you can even find a pdf of the policy manual explaining what is considered good cause:

At this point we are wondering if we can just get to the time where we can apply for citizenship since that is easier than trying to re-schedule biometrics.

As the title says - my husband and I applied for the CR1 a little after we got our K1 NOA2. Before applying for the CR1, my husband sent a notarized letter to USCIS clarifying the situation and formally withdrawing from the K1 application. He didn't get any confirmation letter or anything from them yet (and we don't even know if we ever will).

Today we got an email from the embassy in my country with the instructions for me to prepare for the K1 interview. My first thought was to just ignore it but now I wonder if ignoring it will mess up our CR1 application in the future. Should I update the embassy or try getting in touch with USCIS? Or both?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

My wife and I filled ours N-400 on the same day (June 16th, 2023) - she was called for an interview in about 2 months after, was approved and is going in for the oath ceremony this Friday. All in her process took a little under 3 months.

We were hoping we would be doing this together but mine hasn't even moved to field office for interview, it still says under review. She even asked the USCIS officer during her interview and he said it's still under review and didn't have more info.

I'm wondering if this is common and what I should expect. We have an international trip coming in December so I'm trying to anticipate what I might need to do.

Thanks!

So recently I ve been to the DMV to get a learners permit and they said there was an error when they scanned my green card! I had my green card interview back in March and got my green card a few weeks later. They did not tell me much about the error but it was something like USCIS havent updated my status on their system. I believe I m still a K1 holder on their system when it should be as a permanent resident? I m so confused. How should I proceed?

Hey, I just need some guidance.
I got a RFE about 1 month ago in the mail.

I originally submited forms:

1. I-485 [Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (with corresponding evidence/documents)]
2. I-693 [Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (with corresponding evidence/documents]
3. I-864 [Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A if the INA (with corresponding evidence/documents]
4. I-864A [Contract Between Sponsor and Household Memeber]

I submitted a I-864A to include my dad as the join-sponsor, since my latest tax return income didn't make above the Povery Guidlines. (I was in an internship)

In the RFE letter, they are saying that they need me to fill out and send another I-864 with my joint sponsor info w/ evidence and then vaguely list a few deficencies that might have occured with my form.

Nowhere is a I-864A mentioned. Why? I thought the purpose of a I-864A form was to include joint-sponsor info... but apparently they don't need this?
