US Immigration from Venezuela

Hi Everyone!

I am getting ready to file for the ROC. The packet is complete and I was wondering if it's the same as the AOS where we had to submit one big packet but with 2 copies of everything for each applicant (mother & child). Is that the case for the ROC? or should I just send one copy.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,

I am a US Citizen. My now wife entered the US legally from Venezuela on a tourist visa. Before our marriage, she requested asylum. Unfortunately, she was referred to an immigration court. She is technically in removal proceedings. She had her first official hearing. The one where things are more like a formality. You show up with your lawyer who talks to judge and prosecutor and then you get a new date for the real hearing. A year or so after this we got married.

We submitted our I-130 through our lawyer. Our I-130 was approved in around 14 months. No interview required. (I can provide exact timeline if requested).

On May 6th 2021, we submitted the AOS I-485 through our lawyer. Because of her pending asylum case and being technically in removal status, the form had to be submitted specifically to the Texas Service Center and also the Immigration court. Our lawyer confirmed that the paperwork was submitted to the court also.

Right now, we are waiting for a new hearing date.

All that background to ask:

What are all the different ways this could go. It's my understanding that no matter what, things will hinge on the immigration judge as the court has jurisdiction over my wife.

What can we expect when we go to the next hearing (whenever that might be?) is it likely for the court to dismiss the asylum case? Are these types of hearings contentious? Do courts adjudicate AOS applications?

Any insight will be appreciated. It's hard to find people in our situation.

I recently applied for citizenship and I am waiting on my interview. I would really like to bring my sisters to the U.S. after I become a citizen. I am concerned about the long processing times. I was wondering if there is a chart available to determine which processing center my application would go to. I have read that the Texas Service Center is significantly faster and I am willing to move to an area under that jurisdiction if it would speed up the process to bring my sisters here. Is there any resource available to determine which processing center the application would go to?

Hi everyone, I've never posted here before so I hope I'm doing this right.

My fianc is Venezuelan and I'm American, but we both live in the DR. My fianc is undocumented here in the DR. Can he still have his interview here at the embassy in the DR even though he does not have a residency?

Thanks in advance!

My spouse just received an interview appointment for the end of June at the embassy abroad (Colombia). IR1 visa. Our DQ 11/18/20. We did not submit a police certificate at that time because it was difficult to obtain due to Covid. But they DQ us anyway stating we should bring to interview. Also, it turns out we uploaded a different copy of the birth certificate as intended. We now have an official one that has the same info but looks different and has official seals.

My question is: is it too late to upload (update) new documents to the NVC portal or should we just take our updated documents to the interview without uploading? I am particularly concerned that the birth certificate won t match the one that we uploaded last year. And will uploading new docs reset the DQ or affect interview date?
