US Immigration from Italy

Hi all,

I am currently living in Japan but I'm from Italy.

I would really like to change the interview consulate to Italy so that I can spend my last month or so there waiting for interview.

I read that I need to contact NVC to ask for this change.

My questions are:

1. How did you contact NVC?

2. Did this impact on the wait and add unnecessary stress?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

Here I am again hoping to get some wisdom from this amazing community!

So, last week I requested to expedite my AOS (i485) through Emma and last Friday I got an email from USCIS asking to turn on the evidence.

I saw a phone number and assumed I'd have to send a fax, so I started gathering the evidence and got everything ready on Tuesday.

But when I looked up the email again, I realized they actually wrote that I was supposed to call that number and make an infopass appointment! They weren't giving me the option to send a FAX.

So I called them today and after a 45 wait, I was able to talk to an agent, who was quite rude to me. She didn't know why I got that email, as they don't schedule appointments for certain things and that she couldn't do anything for me.

I was like... What?

She basically didn't do anything and did all she "politely" could to get rid of me and end the call.

I mean... USCIS told me to call and make an appointment, it was not my idea lol

So I called again, 50 more minutes on the phone before being able to speak to someone, and then finally reached another agent.

That lady was surprised as well an said it was the first time she saw something like that! USCIS usually requests to turn in the evidence via FAX, not in person.

She had to dig in few minutes before being able to understand how to put me in the queue for an appointment. But she eventually managed and now I'm expecting a call from them in the next 72h to book the infopass appointment.

But now I am wondering... Should I be worried?

Why would they wanna see me in person for that? Maybe something is wrong with my case?

Or maybe, on the other hand, I'd get interviewed on the spot if they think that the evidence is satisfactory? (I've been waiting for my interview for Green Card for over two years now)

Did anyone else had a similar experience?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I would have never thought that by now I would still be posting on here, but here I am.

I applied for AOS from ESTA in August 2020, marriage based, got an RFE for i944 form, then submitted it and my case status is "waiting to schedule for an interview" since March 2021.

I got EAD and AP, but can't work as my field is aviation and nobody wants to employ someone without a GC (need to be able to fly in and out of the country freely and they don't trust AP).

I live in Sacramento and my field office seems to be still NBC.

I applied for an expedite request yesterday, but I have very little hope that it's actually going to be accepted.

So, now, based on these info, what do you think I should expect? Is there any hope that I'll actually get an interview soon? Or is it possible that they lost my case or something like that?

What can I possibly do to get things moving?

I feel really sad and discouraged to be honest.

My husband and I have two little daughters (USC) and I really need to work (other fields are not an option for many reasons that would take too long to disclose on here), not to mention that it's very emotionally draining to be in this limbo for so long, almost without any rights and with the fear of rejection/denial/deportation...

My husband and I would like to buy a house, develop our careers, put down roots, build our life together... But none of that is possible untill I finally get a GC.

I don't know what to do or think.

Does anybody have some insight for me or maybe someone can share their story if they had a similar experience?

I would really appreciate it

Thank you

Hello all. My fianc e is an Italian resident and he wants to know, what is the best way to transfer his savings to the US? I know of Wise, Remitly but not sure about transferring more than $10,000.

Appreciate your advice in advance.

Thanks

I'm a little mixed up here. So my mom is diabetic and bedridden and will need to undergo amputation. This is very concerning, guys. Anyways, if I want to expedite my application that's been sitting and collecting dust for over a year would I have to pay $2,500? Is "Expedite" and "Premium Processing the same? Where do I start?

Thanks so much for your help

Would love to have a small whatsapp group, if anyone is interested. My email is(removed)
