US Immigration from Mexico

All,

I filed for ROC in mid July and I am wanting to change my last name to my husband s last name. Will it affect me if I do it now while in ROC? Would I get a replacement extension letter with the new name?

I also have the Sentri card that I would have to change my name on too. Does anybody know how it would affect my Sentri/global entry status too?

The reason why I never changed it is because I married my husband in Mexico and they don t give the lady s the husbands last name anymore. During my consular interview over two years ago I would have had to have remained extra time in Juarez had I decided to change my last name for my original CR-1.

I had planned to wait till I naturalize in either 2021 or 2022 but would like to change it now if it is feasible and doesn t ruin my ROC or Sentri.

Hello. All of our documents have been received and approved by NVC and I believe the next step for us is just getting the interview notice which will occur in Juarez Mexico. In navigating the site, I m trying to understand what her expected timeline should be at this point. If I have this right, we should expect perhaps 400 days. Is this accurate? Thank you so much for the help!

I've watched for more than two years as my fellow January 2018 filers got approved. Finally, today, "our" I-485 was approved. I think they saved the best for last. K-1 to Green Card = 3 years, 5 months, 20 days.

And here's the best part = we're still madly in love! I hope you all are, too.

As a US Citizen I filed for IR-2 visas for my two step-daughters. The visas were approved all the way through NVC and, along with many others, the pandemic

stopped everything before we got an interview date at Ciudad Juarez. I filed an expedited request for their interview this last summer and my reason was

school was to start here in August and both of them do not speak any English and needed to get in their classes as soon as possible especially because

they would be promptly immersed in both English and Spanish classes. Delaying that would put them back in their education possibly one year.

We were denied the visa even though I read that starting school was one reason they would consider as to expedite. My oldest step-daughter is aging

out in February 2021 as she will be 18 years old. We just learned yesterday that she is two months pregnant. With the total situation I would like to

file another expedited request because she will be aging out in approximately four months. I believe, from reading other posts, that pregnancy is not

a reason for expediting although she and the baby would get better quality care in the US health system. Could I please get opinions from others

what I should do and what I should list as an expedited reason that they might approve it this time. In addition she is current in the home with her

biological mother which doesn't care for the girls and the 17 year old tried to commit suicide 2 years ago.

Hi members,

While waiting for our K1 NOA2, is there anything else we can be doing to prepare the next phase of the K1 process like preparing for her interview with the embassy and start collecting documents and evidence for her interview? I know it is still months away but we just want to get ready ahead of time.

Thanks.
