US Immigration from Philippines

Every Sunday evening I get an e-mail with my latest I-751 Approval date. The first one I was pretty happy with but when I "clicked on the date " to view my timeline a completely different persons timeline appeared. The second week I got another e-mail with a date that was 4 months ahead of last weeks estimate but, it had my timeline when I clicked the date. This third one the timeline backed up 2 months but again had a different persons name when I clicked the date to view the timeline.

What's up with Visa Journeys estimator? Anyone else experience this?

I know it has only been 4 months, but when application was first submitted it was a 6 month predicted wait for USCIS, we are now up to 8 1/2 months, this sux! My husband is planning to buy a house soon in Tampa because he will be doing his ROTC there for 2 years, so now we will have housing costs in 2 places, in addition to his pay decreasing by 50%, hardship?

Hi we're going to apply an n600 for my daughter who got here in the US through an IR-2 visa, qualifying for the derivative and automatic acquisition of the US citizenship. During the process of this can my daughter travel outside of the country to study there? Would she be able to come back with no hassle?

Another month another round of AOS submissions. Please be aware the fee increase, that was supposed to take effect on October 2, 2020, has been put on hold. No one knows with any certainty how long this hold will last, so please take this opportunity to get your October 2020 packets in as soon as you are able as the increase is substantial.

Be sure to double check for the current fees as fees do sometimes increase and they can change on a dime so please check. Additionally, check the forms as listed above i.e., current version and or edition date, there have been many changes to various forms. Consider sending tax transcripts instead of the 1040, and W2's. Also consider preparing a cover letter for each form in addition to the main cover letter.

Make sure you send long form birth certificates and not the short form. Hope this helps in your preparation of your AOS. When in doubt ask questions.

Please consider filing the I-131 and the I-765 even if you don't think you'll need them right now. You never know what changes your life will have on down the road, so I recommend you file these two forms from the start. There is no extra charge to file them (FOR NOW) with your AOS and it's much much easier to submit them all at once. With the proposed fee increase each form will have a fee, so just in case this hold on the fee increases does not hold and you need to file the I-131 and the I-765 later you won t have to pay for them.

There has been much confusion coming out of USCIS, partly due to Covid-19 and partly self-inflicted. This confusion filters on down to the people filing for AOS. The above listing is subject to change at a moments notice so please check, recheck and check again BEFORE you send off your packet for any last minute changes.

Welcome October 2020 AOS filers to the thread!!!!!!!!

Hello all,

I came into the US with a K1 visa and I'll be having my AOS interview in a couple of weeks. We filed the AOS in November. However, due to COVID, my husband had to get a new job. He is still more than capable to support the both of us. My question is, because his current job is different from the job he had when he filled out the Affidavit of Support, should we fill out a new Affidavit of Support to bring to my interview?

Thank you!
