US Immigration from Ethiopia

Hi, I'm curious if anyone on here has had a similar issue. My fiance and I are still waiting for him to get an interview at the embassy, however his passport is going to expire at the end of July. Ordinarily he would just renew it but there is currently an armed conflict happening in his home state and his ethnic group is being specifically targeted. Discrimination against his ethnic group has drastically increased including preventing them from boarding international flights or interrogating them for hours before they board international flights (also firing from jobs, imprisonment etc). It's unlikely he will be able to renew his passport or they may confiscate his passport and then he just wouldn't have anything. Has anyone dealt with anything similar? Is it better to show up with an expiring passport or no passport because it was taken away but at least we tried?

What is the DQ date the U.S. embassy in Ethiopia is currently working on?I got documentary qualified in April 2020 and waiting for interview date to be scheduled

Hi,

I worked for lyft using my own social security as a F-1 student that I got from the school for two years. I'm trying to marry my US citizen girlfriend and file AOS. My question is can I still keep working unauthorized while my AOS is pending thinking it will be forgiven because I need to pay some bills or should I stop working before filing the forms? Also I'll be out of status in two weeks cause I have decided I need a break from school to pay in state tuition, that is when I'm planning to file exactly in two weeks

Thank you!!!

I was working unauthorized on lyft for almost two years now as an f-1 student using my social, now I'm about to marry my USC girlfriend and im starting to think I should take a break of school cause I'm paying out-of-state tuition. I have decided it's better to finish the AOS and pay in-state tuition.

So my question is would I be in trouble for working unauthorized even though I'm marrying a citizen ?

Is this a specific case where I need a lawyer or can I file it myself ?

When would I be able to get some type document show I have adjusted my status to the school, hence paying less money lol?

Thank You!!!

Hi All,

I know there have been a few of you who are waiting for the Ethiopian Embassy to start interviews again. I just wanted to post an update saying my fiance had her interview today and she was approved!

Our documentation was spot on because of visa journey. Her interview was 10 minutes and the only real question of note asked was where did we meet?

Our original interview date was March 19th if I remember correctly so we may have been at the front of the line for getting interviews. I just logged in one day and it said your interview is scheduled.
