US Immigration from Chile

Hello!

I had my interview in Shanghai, China on September 23, 2020. I was issued a 221-g for a missing document (original marriage certificate or certified copy). There has been some backlog with receiving the document because of COVID, so I likely won't get it from my husband until next week/early the week after. That would put submission of the missing document at 3 to 3.5 weeks post interview. Other than the fact that this will delay visa issuance, should I be concerned that I've taken so long to submit my missing document? Should I explain in a letter when I finally submit my missing doc?

Thank you!

Hi,

We sent in a packet containing I-485 + I-130 to change status from B2 to resident after getting married in the USA.

We included the forms requesting email notification of status: g-1145

We also sent forms g-1450 to pay the fees by credit card.

It has now been exactly 4 weeks since the packet arrived in Chicago at the drop box according to Post Office tracking and not a word and no charges on the CC.

The office for processing is the Seattle/Seatac office.

Is this normal???

Thanks Martin

Hello everyone. So we have our IR-1 visa interview scheduled for the end of October in Santiago.It s my understanding it doesn t take very long to get the visa. Then, my family and I need to enter the US within the allotted time. I think it s 6 months? However, my husband is not planning on retiring from his current position in Chile until Sept 2021. Does anyone know if we enter the US before the expiration date of the visa, can he leave the US and in be in Chile for a few months to finish his job? I know it can take up to 120 days to receive the green card. I m not sure if he could leave the US before the green card arrives as he only has so many vacation days. Our other thought is to schedule the interview at a later date to get us closer to our targeted time to leave Chile. I would like to get our interview date because I just want to be finished with this process but I don t want to jeopardize it either. Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

I swear at this point I've done about 4 affadavits, do I need to redo this again? Or can I just bring 2 updates paystubs from my jobs?

Also my husband came on a K-1 visa, he said they took his medical packet already so I'm assuming they will expect us to not have this with us at the interview.

Thank you all!

Hello! I am a Chilean national living in Shanghai, China. My CR-1 interview will be taking place on September 23 in the Guangzhou consulate. Since I have to fly back to Shanghai after my interview and I am a foreign national here, I won't be able to leave my passport with the consulate because I need to to fly. Instead, my understanding is I would mail it to them once I'm back. Here's my dilemma: I have a domestic trip scheduled the week after (October 2-5) and I will need my passport to travel. Could I mail them back my passport once I am back from that trip? I am in no huge rush for my visa provided I get it back before my medical expires (February 2021), since I don't plan on leaving Shanghai until I finish my work contract here in January. But, would I be jeopardizing anything by holding off on sending the Guangzhou consulate my passport (it would be an ~12 day delay)? Should I cancel my trip so I can send it to them immediately?

Thank you in advance!
