US Immigration from Canada

I hope everyone is doing well today. I just need your advice with regards to getting my police certificate. We are still waiting for our form I-130 s approval but I just want to be one step ahead specially of the delays on requiring documents from another country. Me and my husband got married in 2019. I have a police certificate from the Philippines in my maiden name. I m thinking of getting one now on my married name since the expiration date won t be an issue because I last stayed in the Philippines in 2015 and never came back. Since I will be applying as a new applicant because my last name has changed, the processing will take some time. Should I get one now? Or should I wait until it s being asked so the date will be most recent if that makes sense?

I filed N-400 online on June 25, 2020 and when I first filed, the USCIS site said estimated completion December 2020. In December 2020, the estimated completion said January 2021. In January, the completion date said March 2021 and in March, the completion date said April 2021. Now, in April there is no estimated completion date on my case at all. When I checked a couple of weeks ago it said to watch for biometrics appointment, but now even that message is gone. I know Covid has made them behind in processing, but it concerns me that cases filed after mine have already been processed and approved. My field office is Louisville...I think. First they told me Cincinnati then they told me Louisville.

Just curious: Is the case sent back to the USCIS to do administrative process? Or it is done inside the local Consulate Office? Or it is a collaborative work between the USCIS and local Consulate Office?

Hi everyone! My AOS interview has been scheduled for MAY 3. That's 17 months from my AOS filing date (DEC 2019).

As I read through the checklist of documents to bring, I'm wondering about the Medical Exam and Affidavit of Support. I have already submitted both in the package when I first filed for AOS. However, it has been so long so I'm not sure if I need to do them again. My medical exam was done in APR 2019 (that's like 2 years ago) with vaccination worksheet marked complete. If I read the instructions correctly for I-693 and I-864, I wouldn't need to bring updated forms to the interview? I just want to make sure and not screw up.

Thank you!

Hi all!

I legally changed my name before we started the immigration process. All my documents EXCEPT my passport has been updated to my new name. Our case is at NVC and I am starting to gather documents for that and I see that we will need my passport. Would it be ok to upload my passport in my old name (it is still valid)? And then apply for a new passport in my new name and upload it when I get it? I basically just don't want to add a 6 week waiting time to our case.

If anyone has been in a similar situation let me know!
