US Immigration from Philippines

Hey guys! It's my first time posting. I got married in LA and it's taking them a long time to produce a marriage certificate. I'm running out of time and my EAD expires at the end of Jan2021. My plan is to apply for green card with EAD. Right now, I was told that it would be slower because of COVID-19 and the election. Should I send my application with a customer's copy marriage license or wait for the certificate? If I submit my application now with a customer's copy marriage license and possible get a RFE or a denied case. If I get the RFE, does it extend the processing period?

Hi all, hope all is doing good.

Ive been worried about my AOS case status Interview that was Cancelled. I was thinking maybe it's because of Covid-19? We sent our AOS Packet on June 11,2020. My older K2 and I got our biometrics done last August 28, 2020. Then the update says.....

"""On September 15, 2020, we cancelled or descheduled the interview scheduled for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status Receipt Number xxxxxxxxxxxx. We will notify you by mail if the appointment is rescheduled , a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.""""

Does anybody here got similar update like mine? I didn't get any Interview Letter by mail or email. I live in Nashville, TN.

My younger K2 is still waiting for his Biometric Schedule Appointment. His notice date was August 30,2020.

Thanks in advance!

My wife and I were separated during our Adjustment of Status interview. In fact, they never called me in. For her, they asked her very few questions about our marriage, mostly national security questions.

Has anyone else had this happen? I'm reviewing others posts, and this feels like an unusual situation.

Hi,

Im prepping to file for my citizenship. I have been an LPR for a little over 3 years and I would really appreciate your help in some of the questions on the form.

1) on question asking for physical address and employer for the last 5 years, does this mean that I will need to include the last address and employer from the country that I was from since I ve only been here for 4 years?

2) what exactly is being asked on q 12 4.a? What does hereditary title or and order of nobility from another country pertains to?

My Filipina fianc s birth was late registered when she was 6 years old. Both of her parents are on her birth certificate but were unmarried at the time so my fianc was given her mother s surname. So, until the age 21 she was known as "first_name mothers_surname". Then in 2012 she had her birth certificate "legitimated by the subsequent marriage of her parents" and the birth certificate was legally annotated "the child shall be known as first_name mothers_surname fathers _surname". That all is straightforward up until that point. However, after her birth certificate was annotated giving her the fathers surname, she continued using her mother s surname for some things. Most notably for two passports and all of her foreign travel with me, banking and for her daughter s birth certificate who will also be on a K2 visa. While using her father s surname on other things. No reason. She was just using whichever surname was most expeditious at the time.

So as I see it now, her true legal name is "first_name" "mothers_surname" "fathers_surname" based upon the annotation of her birth certificate in 2012. However pretty much 100 percent of everything that would be of interest to US Immigration, everything to do with our relationship (shared banking, passport, several tourist visas for other countries and international travel together, and all of our correspondence) is still first_name mothers_surname. So is her daughter s birth certificate and her daughter s actual surname.

So, do we file the petition as "first_name" "mothers_surname" with her current passport and the whole mountain of evidence that uses that name and then explain that she simply is not using the annotated surname change on her birth certificate? Or do we get her a new passport with the annotated surname since it is her "most legal" name and do all of the paperwork with UCIS as the annotated surname, and then explain why that differs from literally just about everything else?
