I have no idea what you are talking about. Is that supposed to be a reference I should know?

Refused, does not mean Denied/Rejected. Refused only means that the consulate needs more time. They used to use the generic Administrative Processing all the time, but now they are saying Refused when a decision cannot be made at this time hence the 221g, and in this case a white one means they are still looking at your case. Since they kept your passport, that is positive, so just keep monitoring the CEAC website.

If you responded to the 221g appropriately, all you can do is wait and monitor the CEAC website. If the consulate needs more, they will ask for it. Good Luck!

My other question is relevant. What color was the 221g. The different colors are meaningful as to how the interview went. I don't know CASV. Also, if the stay was less than 180 days, no bar is in place, if over 180 days to 365 days, a 3 yr bar, and over 365 days a 10 yr. bar. You asked why the CO did not mention a waiver, if the overstay was less than 180 days, no waiver is needed, and if between 180 and 365 days, I suspect you have already been outside the US for more than 3 yrs, so a waiver would only be needed if over 365 day. https://www.path2usa.com/blog/all-about-221g/

How long was the overstay?

What color was the 221g? It does matter.

Vladimir already endorsed Kamala as she is much more predictable to do what is expected.

Saw this today. Not sure it applies if someone is not currently in the US. Good Luck! https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2024/10/17/biden-administration-giving-temporary-protected-status-to-lebanese-immigrants-israel-war-hezbollah/75716395007/

I need to limit my comments, but the picture kind of tells the entire story.

Interesting how out-of-touch these MSM types are. As long as it is not happening to them, why should people care. So caring and tolerant.

Wow, KK was sounding quite petulant last evening. Anyway. Kamala Harris’ electric school bus program is floundering, drawing comparison to ‘border czar’ work Many school districts have reported multiple problems with the safety and expense of the buses they’ve received, and these involve companies that have received hundreds of millions of dollars in grants and rebates through the EPA program Harris manages. These same companies have close ties to the Biden-Harris administration. Michael Chamberlain, director of the government watchdog nonprofit Protect the Public’s Trust, has a word to describe what administration critics consider wasteful climate-agenda programs, many of which have turned into green energy boondoggles. He calls them “greendoggles.” “This sort of thing is just emblematic of the entire way this green transition has been handled by the administration,” Chamberlain recently told Just the News. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/critics-say-kamala-harris-electric-school-bus-program-disastrous-her-work

Completely anecdotal, but I find more KK supporters depressed, and more Trump supporters happy. Heck, Democrats are even depressed when they are in power. Btw, is any ultra-left Democrat happy with KK? Democrats Have No Monopoly on “Joy” https://www.city-journal.org/article/democrats-have-no-monopoly-on-joy

Did KK actually answer one question? Any immigration question was answered with her contortionist attempt to tie it to the 'bipartisan (really a Democrat plan)' Make Illegal Immigration OK bill that Trump supposedly torpedoed. Of course Brett correctly pointed out that the opposition to that bill was also bipartisan. Regardless, her sycophants in the MSM will applaud her for going on far right Fox News all while ignoring how Trump never shies from an interview at least until they screw him like Leslie Stahl and 60 minutes (I see others are doing their own recording of any 60 minutes interviews which makes absolute sense). Obama seemed to be scolding Old Corrupt Petulant Joe yesterday and my guess it is how he is at times, upstaging KK.

Educated Democrat?

It doesn't sound like you need another lawyer as even with a lawyer, one should become an expert of the process. As to a refund, that is hard to say. If you can show clear malpractice, you could sure for a refund, but that may be more costly than what it is worth. As to the EAD, if you have a job offer already, I would pursue getting a replacement card (I assume a new I765 filing), if not, I would probably save my money and wait for the GC. Good Luck!

I agree, time to jettison this lawyer, and make sure all communications come directly to you. Good Luck!

Putting this here since it is a direct result of the actions or inactions of our border tsar. I do wonder how this group will fare in Texas. EXCLUSIVE'Evil' super gang seizes four apartment complexes in major Texas city in new terrifying show of strength https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/texas/article-13958241/texas-gang-tren-aragua-apartment-complex-raid.html

Often they do biometrics at any location, but to the best of my knowledge, the Detroit office has jurisdiction over all of Michigan. My friend's niece lived in Escanaba when her spouse was adjusting status and they had to go to Detroit. Luckily they had family in the area, so a place to stay for a night. As to canceling the interview and then approving, I have not heard of that happening, but I suppose anything is possible with USCIS. Good Luck!

If you have the IRS transcripts, use those, consulates generally like those better. I would not worry about W2's/1099's and copies of the returns as the transcripts have all the required information. Also, you only need the most recent tax year's filings, but it is good to have the previous two years (total of 3 years) with you in case they ask for more. Also, it is a good idea to have your father fill out an I864A as a household member as oftentimes consulates ask for this when one spouse is sponsoring or co-sponsoring an immigrant and they file taxes jointly. Beyond that, the I864 is only looking for financial evidence, so the list you have with the suggestions I made should be enough. So to be clear, you will have your own I864 showing zero income, your mother will fill out her own I864 with her financial/tax evidence, and your father will fill out an I864A. Good Luck!

You as the USC will need to complete an I864 affidavit of support, and since you are not currently domiciled in the US, you need to find a qualifying joint sponsor that will fill out a separate I864. A qualifying joint sponsor is anyone domiciled in the US and is either a USC or an LPR. Congrats on the I130 approval. Good Luck!

If you haven’t already filed an I130 for him, then yes, you need to do an I130 along with the I485. If you already have an I130, then you would include that receipt NOA with the I485 filing. Good Luck!

You should probably list them as there is an I134 out there that says you agree to support them, but if you don’t actually provide any financial support to them, then you can put $0 in the last box. Good Luck!

It’s only bipartisanship if the Republicans adopt the Democrat side.

Don’t leave the reservation if you are a Democrat/leftist. Ohh so tolerant.

So much tolerance from those on the extreme left. Even in “progressive” Europe, those on the left show absolutely no respect for opposing viewpoints.
