US Immigration from Ukraine

Has anyone noticed that 5 year LPRs tend to get more love from the USCIS with the N400 than their 3 year LPR counterparts?

On the USCIS account website it indicates there is a 7 month turnaround time for the N400 but with a disclaimer that this estimate is only for the 5 year LPRs... estimates for 3 year LPRs can vary.

This is an anecdotal observation but it seems to me that I see far more 5 year LPRs announcing that they received an interview letter. Nowhere near as many 3 year LPRs.

We also received an RFE for the Civil Surgeon and a request for the I-693!!! I am so frustrated and angry over this! We submitted our AOS and EAD, we submitted November 1st with only the DS-3025 as that was all that was listed was required if within a year. It is just sad and ignorant by this administration that immigrants can cross illegally from the southern border with no problem, get a job, free benefits and whatever else for free, while people doing it the legal way get summoned and reprimanded like this. This is a bunch of BS!!

Hi everyone,

I have arrived to the US on a K1 visa and got married a month ago. Now it is time to file for Adjustment of Status and I am confused as to whether my husband should first file and wait for approval of i-130 form or I can submit the i-485 and the relevant documents package straight away. I have been receiving mixed advice.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I am filing a GC petition for parents who are already in the US on tourist visas and I need help organizing the documents. I have separate folders, each containing a form and the relevant supporting documents. Internet says that my total price should be $535 for i-130 and $1225 for I-485, with other fees waived because they are already included into this price.

How do I work this into the package? Do I just skip paying for i-131/693/765/864? Do I add a letter into each folder explaining that I paid for other forms? Any other recommended ways of doing this?

This post is for those who submitted an N400 (especially if you did it online) within the last 6 or so months and, like us, are in the Boston area and will be processed out of the Boston field office.

Has anyone seen any movement yet? In particular, anyone receive a letter with an interview date?

I ran some reports here on VJ but not sure how comprehensive the results are as not everybody maintains a VJ timeline.

Thanks in advance for any intel you may have on this matter.
