US Immigration from Netherlands

Good morning all,

My now wife came to the US on a K-1 visa back in June 2021 and we got married in August 2021. We filed her I-485, I-765, and I-131 in September 2021 and in November 2021 we received a RFI and sent back all of the required documents (which ended up being documents we already sent with our initial package). In Jan 2022, we had her biometrics appointment and on the appointment letter it said the service center was NBC. We are constantly checking the USCIS website and it says "your case is actively being reviewed".

We had initially thought that getting the approval for her to be able to travel wouldn't take that long, but it seems I was wrong. I am checking the case processing times and it says 9 to 12.5 months. Is this the standard? I am quite amazed that our partners aren't able to go home and see their families for over a year and a half after coming here. We were hoping to go visit her family sometime this summer, but with the current timeline it doesn't look like that will be possible. Or is there another way around this?

Thank you

Stephen

It seems to be laborious and impossible to delete your VJ account. I ve reached out to VJ multiple times using the online forms, and have yet to receive a response. Any tips? Also find it difficult to locate those specific instructions on here.

Received an email last night from NVC saying my submitted documents will be reviewed soon . This was in response to an expedite request from our attorney.

Does anyone have any idea what the NVC definition of soon means in quantitative terms? Days or weeks?

if you ve received this message from NVC in the past, I d appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks in advance!

I have a Social Security card that says "valid for work only with DHS authorisation" which I got before receiving my Green Card. Now that I am a Lawful Permanent Resident, should I apply for a new SS card?

Hi! Any November 2021 filers here? Our document submitted dates are 3 and 10 Nov (Husbands docs 3 Nov, mine including DS260 10 Nov).

Last week, 8 Feb, we had all but two documents approved, and immediately provided the requested adjustments. Now waiting to hear further.

I believe our case was looked at 1 week earlier than the timeline stated on NVC s website. As of tomorrow, 14 Feb, they are looking at 10 Nov submissions.

Please share your situation if you re in the Nov filing boat
