US Immigration from China

The interview date was 2/8/21,

EAD AP date was 7/15/2020

The experience was, we arrived at 300 N Los Angeles at 230pm for a 245pm appt. Went thru ground floor xray, go to 8th floor, go to the check in window, take temperature and wait to be called. Was called finally at 350pm after a 1 hr sit and do nothing.

Nice younger gentleman greeted us at DOOR 2, walked about 20m to his cubicle office. He was nice enough to apologise for the wait due to more difficult cases.

Asked for marriage cert, Passports and whether we have anything else for him.

Handed 1040, House grant deed, HOA, Bk Statement, photos, Insurance docs and affidavit from colleague.

Asked him whether he needs any more medical updates, he said if you have any .. please. Handed over Additional Vaccination record from USCIS doctor in sealed envelope. this is the I-693 part 5-7 and 10 for vaccinations part only. We did this in abundance of caution in case USCIS needed it.

He appeared to be in a rush, checking off what we handed him, then quickly asked like 20 Are you terrorist, member of ... traffic human etc... Mostly NO answer type of questions.

THEN he said.. that was easy... I cant approve you right now, as I have to do background check and verify the K1 file is consistent with the 485 file.

Again rushing.. he said well probably you will hear something today.... and thank you for coming...

wham bam.. in and out in like 15mins.

By the evening at around dinner time, we received the approved email from USCIS..... now awaiting physical card.

what a K1 to 485 journey.

5/2019 to 2/2021

Good luck to all of you.... 8-)

Our ROC package is done. We're going to do one final look-over tonight and then ship it via UPS tomorrow. Here's what we have. Does this look complete?

I'm paranoid I missed something super obvious and will get this BEAST of an application sent back to me. Our window opened Feb 7 so we'll ship Feb 9 (tomorrow) to be safe. Hopefully USCIS will get it by Friday and then we don't need to worry about it for a while.

Hi, may 19 filer here, I got scheduled for a oath ceremony three days ago, since then under the Document section on myUSCIS account, I don t see the letter. And it used to have this one sentence saying something about below is the notice USCIS have sent you if you don t see the notice check back in a few days , but now this sentence is gone.

I was just wondering is USCIS still uploading PDF letters?

if they still do how fast would it show up?

Greatly appreciated for anyone sharing your situation!

Hey everyone, I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to, and I'd really appreciate any advice you can offer
Backstory: I was ordered removed at a port of entry (Chicago O'Hare) and told that I cannot enter the USA for five years unless I get a waiver, then we got married in my country.

Progress so far: I-130 was approved in January, our case is in NVC now
My questions:
1. Do my husband and I need to apply for *both* an I-212 and an I-601? When and where should we submit them (it)?
2. Is an I-601A available to me, or do I have to wait until after I am denied in the visa interview to apply for a waiver?

I'm really nervous about it because one of my friends was in the same situation, but her husband mailed the waiver and money to a department in the USA, but they ignored it, so she had to wait 5 years to enter. That made me very worried.
