US Immigration from Germany

My lawyer filed I-130 for my son in Dec 2020 and we still haven t heard back from uscis. I m angry she didn t file online to save time. Should I file a new I-130 online or tell my husband to file one online to speed things up? We re aware of having to pay fees again but we want to save time and our lawyer said paper based takes 2-3 months for uscis to respond and acknowledge receipt. She said paper based I-130s in Nov 2020 from her other clients haven t had responses yet. My cousin though submitted I-130 in Nov online and already heard back 2 weeks later. What should we do?

Well, sort of:

In the last year we've moved to a new location and mainly because I never write checks these days, I forgot to order new checks with my new address. I know my old checks can still be used generally speaking but do you think there is any reason why USCIS might object to the old address?

Would it be better to go with a money order? I use USAA so there are no physical locations for me to go get a cashier's check...

I'm sure there's no 'right' answer, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts.

Does anyone know/ have experience how long it will take the USCIS to process a withdrawal for the i130 process?

Thank you in advance.

I am sponsoring my husband who is a German. We have already done the I-130 and been approved. We submitted the I-865 and I-865a but they have not been approved yet because I am missing my 2019 tax transcripts. I filed my 2019 taxes late and since COVID the IRS is backed up by six months on processing taxes so my transcripts are not available yet. However I have been unemployed since 2018. my husband is paying for everything and his income is well above the poverty guidelines. Is there anyway to get approval for the I-865 without my 2019 tax transcripts?

Hi folks,

My case was expedited at NVC stage. My documents have been DQ. My ceac status says "in transit", and hopefully will be "ready" by Monday. Let's hope.

Do I book my own medical? I understand Frankfurt consulate will call/email to make the interview appointment, however I've read (from past posts/facebook) that the interview date will be swift from the approved expedite time. People mentioned attending interviews without their medical or completed their medical (just 2-4 days prior).

Also read that when you book medical, the office in Frankfurt won't administer your missing shots..(they tell you to go back to local physician and get it, then send it back to them). Is this true now?
