US Immigration from Lebanon

Hi there, I've had such bad luck with my supposedly straightforward case. Every step took much longer than necessary and now my case has been documentarily qualified since February, so nearly 6 months, and still no interview. My immigration case falls under IR-1 and I've been married for over a decade. I started the process back in August 2021. Has anyone else faced such delays? Is there anything I can do to expedite? Also I saw someone mention a Whatsapp group. I desperately need some information to know how long I should plan to stay here. Neither NVC nor the embassy have provided any sense of timeline.

Hi. So my naturalization interview is scheduled for next month and I was preparing by gathering all required documents as per the interview notice but I cannot for the life of me find my old US passport that has the visa on it that I originally entered the US with. I have old black and white copies of every page from that passport on an external hard drive but I'm really worried that the officer will insist that I needed to bring the original. Has it been other people's experience that officers asked to see the original entry visa?

Note: I have another old passport that has the stamp of entry with the date and type of visa, but not the visa itself. I also do not have my I-94 because it was not stapled to my passport and fell out and got lost at some point, but that was not a hinderance to getting my green card because I had a copy of it.

Hi. For people who received their interview notice, about how long before the scheduled interview did you receive the notice? I am seeing that for people in my area (Los Angeles) people are having their interviews about 4 months after their biometrics, but I was wondering when they are receiving the notice for the interview, because this website does not record that. Thanks!

My mother-in-law has her IR5 interview Monday. We sent a digital copy to NVC but because my husband needed his original birth certificate for his own immigration progress we have the original, here in the U.S. Can we get a certified copy or can we send a digital copy of the original and get it translated again? Any advice?

Hello everyone,

I tried to look if this question was asked before here but I couldn't find a thread.

Family member attended an IR5 interview and were given paper to complete DS-5535 and send back. They completed this few weeks ago, since then the "Case Last Updated" date keeps changing every 2 or 3 days but the status still says "Refused". Last update was last night.

Does this really mean anything?

Thanks
