US Immigration from China

Hi,

I filed 130 & 485 for my wife on August 8th to Chicago lockbox and was wondering what the current normal wait time is until checks are cashed and notice is issued.

Could not find recent threads about this.

This would help me put my wife at ease, as we wait. Thank you in advance!

Thank you.

Hi guys,

Has anyone tried to send an e-request these days? because I don't understand this...

They are handling the March cases now and my I-131 was received by them on the 26th Feb, and stuck at "case was received" since then.

I just worried that my case was forgotten somewhere..:/

Also I have done the biometrics for I485 and I765 last Friday, just received another appointment letter for I-765 again on next Monday, the second letter was sent out before my first appointment so it cant be something wrong with my fingerprints, called USCIS asked for the level 2 officer to see if I should go for the second one and never had them call back. The whole process is just..confusing.

Hi guys,

USCIS really confuses me, I just received the biometrics notice for I-765 on 8/24 (notice date 8/11), even though I already have attended the appointment for I-765 and I-485 together on 8/14 (notice date 7/28).

Since both case status shows that "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken" I assume that the second notice should be an error?

Also it takes forever to talk to an representative, just wondering if anyone here have heard something similar to this?? thanks!

DOS returned petition to USCIS. USCIS received it last September 2019. As of March of 2020 USCIS says it's under extended review. Can anybody tell me something about this? Just a idea of when I will hear from USCIS. It's a CR-1 and my wife is in China. USCIS excepted my petition 12/06/2017. My wife's interview was 03/05/2019. DOS did not believe we was a bonafide marriage.

Hi all,

Wanted to share and pick yall's minds on responding to an RFE received on my mother's B2 extension application. I'm including part of the RFE in attachment here.

Background--

1. My mom entered US in Nov 2019 via valid B2 visa to visit, prior to this trip she has come 3 times, always left before the 6 months mark. I applied for her extension in mid Feb due to a travel ban or an advisory against, to China. I applied to extend to 10/31.

2. I listed reason for the extension as mom being high risk group due to her heart condition, and hardship in traveling. I stated that I would be financially responsible for the extension, and attached my pay stub/savings/checking account.

3. I'm a permanent resident.

Questions--

1. RFE is asking to provide evidence of activities "consistent with the B classification" - we have traveled a couple times, which i will include. Does visiting friends and family also count? Is there any documents i need to watch for to exclude that potentially can have a negative impact?

2. RFE is asking to provide evidence of stay would be temporary - i assume this means pretty much flight ticket. I have not booked one for her. Has anyone here responded without a ticket but any other evidence support hardship in traveling?

3. I might get objections on this question, but I was looking into filing another extension if this one gets approved, is that possible? so that she can stay until the vaccine comes out end of this year or early next year. She has a very bad heart condition, flying for 20+ hrs could be very dangerous for her in the current condition - she can't wear a mask for that long either since she also has asthma

Please let me know if you had gone through this and have other suggestions. Appreciate everyone's time!
