US Immigration from Germany

Hi,

is there anything that speaks against having a joint sponsor that is retired? He meets the income threshold easily but obviously there s not an employment letter that could be submitted with the I-864.

thank you!

Forgive me for asking as I know how inaccurate USCIS estimates typically are, I'm just tying to be optimistic that the light at the end of the tunnel is near for my husband and I. We have been waiting close to 14 months now.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have been checking USCIS to see what they are saying for how much longer we have left to wait on our case. For about 2 weeks straight, it said "2 months ". When I checked yesterday morning, it said "5 weeks" .

For those of you who have had your I-130s recently approved, when the estimate drops into weeks, is it usually a good sign that your case is actually currently bring adjudicated?

When the estimate went down to weeks, how long from that point did it take to recieve a decision?

Hi all,

I did not find any more recent topics regarding this, if there is one, please direct me.

Once I-130 / DS-260 / Interview Stage all done and you entered the US to be with your spouse, how long did it take you to get the SSN and actual Green Card (the plastic card) ?

During DS-260 we opted for the SSN delivery to our home address, but I am curious if this really gets triggered into motion once I enter the US or if we better check in with the local SSN office right away?

Same for physical green card - I know my passport will serve as a greencard for up to 1 year, but does it really take USCIS up to a full year to mail the greencard to us?

Looking for some experience reports from recently. Thank you

Hi everyone!

We all know about the political circumstances and I m wondering if more people are getting anxious because of the mass deportations? I am married to a USC and we filed for my AOS/greencard but a tiny part of me is starting to be afraid of the unknown maybe I m not alone with this and we can encourage each other!

I got my bachelor s and master s degree in Germany. Do I need to get it approved that it is aquivalent to US standards to use it in applications? If so, how do I do this?
