US Immigration from India

Hi just wanted to know if anyone has recently had an update that their oath ceremony will be scheduled with a name change that has gotten an actual date at the Baltimore field office?

Hi All,

I filled for my parents under IR5 and I got approved from consular interview for my Dad and my mom received 212(a)(6)(c)(i) under a previous case which was filed on the wrong category of filing. So I would like to file I-601 Waiver of inadmissibility for my mom and what like to know what kind of documentation is required to support the form filling. And what is the approximate time for processing as of Feb 2023? Is there a scope to expedite the process as my Dad will be here in the states next week and my will be back in home country?

Thanks.

Hello all,

I filed for I-485 and I-130 in May 22 out of Ohio where I lived with my wife. I recently moved out of Ohio due to work while my wife is still living at the place I filed from. Should I report the change of address to USCIS?

Thanks!

I have an immigrant visa interview in March 2023. My passport expires in under 6 months and I have applied for a new one. However, I have submitted 3 police clearance certificates to NVC with my old passport number. Do I need to obtain new police clearance certificates once my passport is renewed?

Hi everyone, I would appreciate your help in exploring what might be a good path forward here.

I filed i130 for my parents on Feb 07, 2022, and then filed i485 and i131 on May 11, 2022. Fingerprinting was done at the end of May.

There hasn't been any progress since then and my parents need to travel back to India. I am wondering what might be the best course of action at this point.

option A: Wait for i131 to get approved and then travel.

Looks like it is taking about a year for i131 to get approved, so we can expect this sometime in May, 2023.

Quick question: Is this actually going to get processed (and be valid for travel) if i130 itself is not yet approved?

Option B: Switch to Counselor processing now, since the i130 is not yet approved

From what I've gathered, it is taking close to 2 years for the AOS to happen. The i130 is still in processing. Could we still switch to counselor processing, so they can travel back and do the full processing from India. My concern/question is that, since they have overstayed their visa (it was till May, 2022), what problems could this cause, in getting the GC, or in traveling back to US.

I'd love to get your input and any other ideas we can explore.

Thanks,

Sahi
