US Immigration from Vietnam

Hey folks,

I have a couple of questions but let me give you the story so far...

• Aug 2019 - My wife's I-130 was filed as F2A (as I was a PR at that time).
• Feb 2020 - I-130 was transferred from CSC to VSC (which I only learned when I contacted USCIS for status update in Dec 2020).
• Dec 2020 - VSC receipt date for inquiry for F2A showed July 2019, just 1 month ahead of my wife's priority date of Aug 2019.
• Jan 2020 - I had my oath ceremony and got the cert of naturalization.
• Jan 2020 - Sent in my US passport application.
• Feb 2020 - I upgraded my wife's I-130 from spouse of PR to spouse of US citizen via phone. I have yet to hear back on that.
• Feb 2020 - I checked processing times at VSC and it appears that F2A receipt dates for inquiry had progressed to 9/25/2019 but Immediate Relative of US Citizen inquiry date is 4/24/2018. ACCCKK!!!

Questions:

1. Did I mess up by upgrading my spouse's application to Immediate Relative of US Citizen as the receipt dates for inquiry for that are so far back in the past?
2. When we filed the I-130, we had been married for 1 year, but by now we have been married for more than 2 years now, does our petition become processed as IR1 (instead of F2A or CR1)
   1. Does that mean when she gets her green card, it will not be a conditional green card but normal 10 year green card?
3. What is my course of action now to get the I-130 processed in a timely manner? Should I be contacting my senator?

Thanks all. It's so good to have this site to fall back to.

Please help!! I have a question regarding i-864
Do we have to keep the income requirement all the time during the sponsoring process or just at the time we submitted the AOS?
The story is I submitted my AOS package in Oct 2020 with eligible income (more than 22k)
Biometrics scheduled for 02/19/2021.
This tax year my husband (sponsor) made less than 22k. Due to the pandemic, his business got loss this year.
Will it be a problem for my AOS?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Howdy all, I would just like to triple check everything that needs to be in the package to remove condition on permanent residence. From 2 year green card to 10 year green card correct? This is the contents of my package that I will be sending out below, please let me know if I am missing anything:

Form I-751

Form G-1145

Copy of Permanent Residence card

Copy of Spouse ID

Relationship Evidence

Photos

Marriage Cert

Lease Agreement

Mortgage Loan Agreement

Last 2 years IRS joint returns

Thank you all so much for your help.

Edit: I have a question about the fees as well. The form 751 has $595 fee and a $85 for biometrics. DO I just include 2 checks with the separate amount or just one check with the total amount?

Hi all,

Anyone here still waiting for EAD to be processed after over 1 month of biometrics? We submitted our AOS and I-765 on Jun 26, 2020 to National Benefits Center and I took biometrics on December 9, 2020. Our case status for EAD is still "Case was updated to show fingerprints were taken" as of today 1/25/2021. I checked Visa journey's average timeline and EADs summited on Jul 2 are being processed. I just want to gauge if our timeline is normal or not

Hello,

My F-1 visa spouse and I are filing for her adjustment of status. Because she is an F-1 visa student, we will send evidence of her ESL certificates along with her transcripts of degree progress in USA thus far. However, her high school diploma is somewhere in Vietnam and I don t even know if we will be able to get our hands on it or even a scanned copy. Is it necessary to send this in for I-944? We may not have access to it so I m at a loss. We have all of her US college transcripts and certificates (one semester left until associate s degree). I m really curious to see what anyone did in this situation. I-944 may be scrapped soon but we rather not postpone submission any longer. Thanks guys!
