US Immigration from Italy

I'm the petitioner. I want my husband's last name. I didn't yet file for the name change, and I've seen people ask the question but its usually about the beneficiary.... I was in a hurry to get things filed, and at the time since my passport is only a couple years old, and my work email has my maiden name, it just didn't make sense to do that at the time.

Today I found out the company I work for is closing. If I end up in a new office job where my name is part of the email, I dont want to be stuck with my maiden name forever. I'm very employable, so I'm not worried about finding work in this market, but we have already gotten the noa1, and I do not want to delay it unnecessarily.

1. Is it going to be a huge problem to change my name in the middle of noa1 to noa2?

2. I found out that in Italy its not actually common to take the husband's last name, but its something I've always wanted to do, and my husband thinks its cute but weird. So in registering my marriage with the Italian government, would I need to update my last name on my marriage certificate first? Or is that where it not yet being changed on my passport would be a problem? Passports are taking a long time right now, and if I win the lotto and can go see him again, I want to. Lololol (Also, was planning a trip for new year's, and not sure if my new passport would be here by then or not...)

Does anyone have advice for either of these two issues/problems?

Hello you all!

I tried to search online about this, but the answers are mostly about DACA recipients who wish to study abroad.

My situation is this: I'm doing the last exams of my MSc. My American fianc and I have also applied for a k1 visa. I thought I would have been done with university within the processing time for the visa, but things are getting a bit longer now and it's possible I'll get my visa before I will be able to discuss my thesis and get the degree.

From what I understand, the k1 visa is valid for six months after it's adjudicated, and the timeline on visajourney says that it's possible I'll get it around november. I'll probably have my graduation ceremony in january or march, it really depends how long it will take to write the thesis. It might take longer.

I've always thought I'll just wait after the ceremony to move to the US, but today I was wondering if the advance parole might be an alternative.

Like, traveling to the US as soon as I get my visa, get married and apply for adjustment of status right away, and eventually come back to Italy with advance parole to discuss my thesis and complete the master. I wouldn't mind to push it back a little bit, it doesn't really have to be in January or March, the important thing for me is just to complete it.

Is that even a possibility? Would I be able to obtain an advance parole for a reason like this, or it's not even worth a try?

I know it's mainly just overthinking right now, but better safe than sorry! The whole degree + visa all together is stressing me a lot, and knowing if there is an alternative would really give me some peace of mind.

Thank you to whoever will answer me

Hello everyone,

my attorney filed my I751 with a waiver on Thursday July 22 with FedEx next day delivery and USCIS received it on July 23 2021. I am in San Diego (CA).

Is there anyone who filed in June this year or beginning of July in California that have already received the extension letter? And also how long is it taking for the biometric appointment?
I don t trust my attorney at all and I am scared he might have messed up something. I m going to let him go once I receive my biometric appointment.
Help I need to travel outside the country.
Thanks in advance and good luck to you all folks

The reciept numbers and online account numbers are identical, both are from texas... but the online access code in the box on the lower right is different on each.. originally I thought maybe one is for my husband, but hes not named on here.. nor was it addressed to him. I just dont want to mess up my online account setup... but I dont know if both are valid, or if entering the "wrong" one would break something?? Please help!

I got my receipt number last night. I had thought that the receipt number tells you what processing center you're going to, but it starts with IOE which says its processing online from the few "outside details" (not on vj) that I could find. I'm confused. I submitted paper application to the Phoenix lockbox. VJ keeps automatically changing me to the Texas service center, and IOE isnt even an option. The email also said it was going to a "Harrisonburg " storage facility. Where's my stuff and what's going on? Anyone? Lol
