The representative I spoke with said that he sees this all the time and it is very common. He also said that they cannot do a hard inquiry on my case until it has past 180 days without movement. I'm seeing things about letting our case expire? Has anyone dealt with this? Any advice on what to do from here? Thank you in advanced.

My Fianc e and I had a little baby girl last December in Ecuador, today her US Passport and CRBA arrived at the consulate, I ve seen people use CRBA as an expedite reason. I m currently abroad in Ecuador with them and having trouble finding a job. But I don t want to go back without them, I already have a job in the US and have family willing to joint or co sponsor if needed, was wondering how expedite through CRBA works? Anything helps TIA

I m a Naturalized US Citizen. My sister and her family entered on a B1/B2 Visa 3 years ago and over stayed.
Are there any provisions for them to gain some temporary rights during their wait for their residency after they apply?
They entered legally, are here and are waiting for their legal status to be changed. If they could have some benefit during their wait (which will be years) that would be great.

Thanks

Does the Guayaquil Ecuador embassy accept joint sponsors? My fianc 's cousin is willing to be a. Sponsor. I might have a job lined up soon but I've been unemployed since the pandemic .

Hey all!

So my Ecuadorian husband and I are preparing for his adjustment of status from an F1 visa, through marriage to a US Citizen (me!). We tried to retrieve an electronic copy of his I-94 from the CBP website because Form I-485 asks for that info. When we typed in his 10-digit Passport Number (made up example: 0123456789) , which is the one labeled as Passport No. on the actual passport, the website results showed an outdated arrival. At first we were panicking, thinking that his I-94 was never updated.

But then we noticed this weird number on the top of the passport biographical page, listed between the country code (ECU) and the Passport No. It had an A followed by 7 digits (made up example: A1234567). I read up a little bit and I m pretty positive it s called a Passport BOOKLET/BOOK Number, basically an inventory number for passports, and very commonly used in South American countries. They change with each passport. Since my husband has three passports, he has three different passport booklet numbers, but all three have the same passport number 0123456789 . (Also, if this helps, his visa also lists the same passport number 0123456789 thank God lol .)

So anyways we were like - OK, let s try these! When we typed in the passport BOOKLET/BOOK numbers, each booklet number (and NOT the Passport No.) brought up his different arrival dates, including his most recent arrival date. These booklet numbers were also listed as the actual passport number on the I-94s. That s why the booklet numbers were bringing in the most updated results, I imagine.

Although our problem was temporarily solved since we could download his most recent I-94, I m concerned that USCIS officers will have issues. They ll see two discrepancies:

1. His passport lists both the booklet and passport number. But his most recent I-94 lists the booklet number as THE passport number. They ll be like Uhm the passport number on the I-94 should be 012345678, and not A1234567, ma am.
2. His actual passport number, once entered, will pull up an outdated I-94 that lists a different arrival date than the newer I-94 that was retrieved with the booklet number.

Anyone have any ideas or knowledge about this, I know it s super specific but I m really trying to avoid making an appointment with them, if there s technically nothing wrong going on and we re just freaking out over something they already know how to manage. Maybe their system is way more integrated than what s generating the forms on the website, and it won t be a problem? I appreciate any insights!
