US Immigration from Brazil

I received a NOA2 and they said my case was received at NVC in July but due to COVID they are not processing anything at the moment. Also the embassy in Brazil won t be processing anything until the US allows Brazilian citizens. Does that mean my case will be at NVC or will I have to reapply after expiration.

On December 29th 2020 my petitioner sent an expedite request to NVCexpedite@state.gov, I understand that because of holidays + weekend they would take a little longer to look into it, however 6 business days have passed since he sent it and they haven't even sent the first email which is the acknowledgment that they received it. Back in July we tried expediting for the first time, however it got denied (we didn't have good reasons back then but this time we do) and it only took them 8 days in total to send us both the acknowledgment email and denial email.

I have two questions about this:

1: Should we send another email?

2: On the email that my petitioner wrote, the only thing that he put on the subject of the email was my case number, is this going to have any consequences (like they ignoring our email) or does it not matter at all?

Hello everyone. I will be helping submit the I-751 for my wife and step-son in a couple of months. My wife and I discussed the possibility of changing my step-son's legal name, since he has 7 names in total, and downsizing it 2 names to make things easier. Not easier for USCIS purposes but for life in general. Anyways, would it be advisable to change his name before the ROC submission? Just would like some advice before my wife and I start the process of changing his name. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it s possible to get a K1 visa outside of my fianc s home country? The embassy is closed in Brazil and we re growing increasingly frustrated and tired. Is it possible for it to be transferred or does she need citizenship in another country for that to be done?

Thanks as always everyone

Post Naturalization interview, trying to upload requested documents but they are always "uploading". Ive tried on a VPN, off of a VPN and I am using internet explorer.

Anyone else having issues?
