US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi,

We've got NVC cases interview topic, so as per helpful suggestion - here it is topic for expedite cases.

Just wondering if anyone here has been recently expedite with their CR1/IR1?

I've been expedited on 20th Oct and my vase has been with London Embassy since 22nd October. I've managed to register to courier and visa schedulling website. However, I do struggle with finding any one slots Currently there is only one day for first week of Nov, and to be fair it's been like this since I've started checking it.

As far as I'm aware DFC cases still scheduling their interviews. Is there any 'rules' with opening slots on the interview calendars? I would appreciate if someone can give any advise on it.

Hi all,

We sent off our I-129F in July , my residency was in UK and that was the address that I put down on our form.

I was in Hong Kong at the time of the application visiting family as a vacation but due to Covid, I have now decided to remain here longer.

Do I need to update this new information? and if so how?

My residency in UK is still valid, I just plan to return later than intended due to this whole pandemic.

I still intend to use the London Embassy even though I am in Hong Kong. I will still want to fly back for the interview and medical.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you.

Hi,

I ve scrolled through this website and don t seem to see much with regards to AOS from J1 to marriage based green card.

What forms do you need to fill in to make this AOS?

what is the current wait time?

Will my current j1 visa become invalid once I submit my paper work? Am I allowed to continue working?

My husband's UK passport was going to expire in January, so we renewed it. This makes his ESTA no longer valid. Due to the backlog it looks like we will be waiting a while for his interview. We were DQ Aug 11. Since London has moved up to tier 2 they may end up going to tier 3 which could possibly delay us further. We were thinking it would be nice if he could come here for a month (holidays) while we wait. Is it possible for him to reapply for his ESTA? I know the application asks if you are trying to immigrate, but he'd be coming back after a few weeks for his medical and interview (whenever that is) so not trying to immigrate on his stay. Thoughts, or other options?

Hi all,

I submitted my AOS packet a few weeks ago which included a I-765 (Application for employment authorization). I had a receipt notice for both I-485 and I-131, but received a rejection notice or I-765.

The reason:

• Filled out an outdated form [Oops, bummer. Easy fix, though: already filled out a new up to date one.]
• Payment amount is incorrect [???]

The receive date is Sept 28, 2020. The notice date is October 14, 2020.

I attached a check for $1225 when I sent the AOS packet (even made a thread about clarifying these costs before I submitted). I'm left a little confused about if I need to send off more money (and how much). They're specifically asking for it, but I thought that the fees for these forms are waived when in a C09 category. I know that the costs have increased all round, so have I just landed in a weird place where I owe the difference from the fee increase due to having to file again? I used the fee calculator to try and figure this out, but it also gave a contradictory answer ($0) to what's being asked in this rejection notice.

I appreciate the help in trying to solve this!
