US Immigration from Venezuela

Hello! I was wondering if anyone else was in the same situation than me.

I sent my adjustment of status to the Chicago Office on April of 2020, (im filling from Orlando, FL). Had my biometrics appointment Excatly a year ago (feb 2021) and received my social and work permit on april 2021.

Since then I haven't heard anything else and technically the average wait time for this process is 13- to 20 months. (Its already been 22 months). Still no date for an interview...

I was wondering if theres anybody else in a similiar situation?

Thank you in advance

So, I got married, yes again. And my wife is present in the US, I am preparing to file I13- and I485 but I have no clue what todo with her 8 yr old daughter. Do I file a I130 or does my wife file it after receiving her Permanent Residence? How would it work?

Thanks

Hello,

My husband applied for removal of conditions from us 2 year residency we received in 2017. We never received an interview and we were given an 18 month extension on his residency. During that time, his family passed away in a car accident in his home country. We traveled for the funeral and 3 days later the pandemic shut the country down. His visa expired while we were here. Now we are being told we need to apply for a returning resident visa at a neighboring embassy since the country we are in does not have an embassy. My question is that we need to get his paperwork straightened out in the US, but I can only get a travel permit to leave Venezuela for 3-6 months. How would you go about doing this? Also, we are now employed overseas with a US organization. When should we consider applying for citizenship?

Hello.

When I (USC) married my wife (Venezuelan), she was already in removal proceedings stemming from an asylum application.

- I-130 approved on March 19, 2021

- I-485 submitted on May 6, 2021

We submitted our AOS applications following the instructions in the attached picture. For people in removal of status, special instructions have to be followed as you can see in the document.

What I know:
- USCIS cannot adjudicate our case because the courts have jurisdiction over my wife. I am 100% clear on that.

What I would like to ask your opinions on:

- I asked our lawyer if we should petition the court to dismiss the case but we were told that at this point, it's better to stay with the court since it'll be faster than dismissing the case and informing USCIS, as we would have to resubmit the case. Is that true?

- I read online of people in similar situations to us, having their case administratively dismissed (USCIS can't adjudicate cases in removal proceedings). Lawyer Office said that this wouldn't happen to us because we followed the procedures to the letter and when it happens to people it's because they didn't follow instructions. Is that true? I would hate for our case to be closed and all this time to be wasted.

We do not have a date for the next hearing. The last date we had was for February 2020, and we petitioned the court to move it until the I-130 got adjudicated. They thankfully granted the request but without a new date.

I am saving to get a second opinion through another lawyer but for now, I hope someone here can answer our questions.

Hi,

My husband got his EAD + AP (combo card) and he is planning to travel to his home country for a doctor s appointment in the meantime the GC application is pending.

We were wondering how safe it is to travel with the Advance Parole and what kind of question they will ask him when we arrive back to the US.

I am planning to go with him and come back to the States together, in that way he won t be by himself in front of the immigration officer.

Thanks,
