Congratulations to you and everyone else who are approved🎉. I'm hardly here to keep track lol. Seems like it's just those of us who were transferred to new jurisdiction are not getting any approval as yet. 

OK. That's good. I wasn't keeping track, maybe as much from the last few post, maybe from page 115 lol
 
Good luck to us. Hopefully next week is our week!!
 

You could always contact Mexican immigration to ask, mentioning the country your husband is from etc.
 
I doubt a US immigration attorney would be well versed in Mexico’s rules, so the Mexican authorities would be your best bet for confirmation.

Congratulations 🎉🎈🎊🍾 

Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉 did u receive the email that your case was transferred? 

Take a read 

Maybe we all can’t quote all of us who later case was transferred to And A new off office has jurisdictions. 
 
-I filed August 17, 2017. 
Received, notice that case was transferred to local office in February. Yesterday I got the update that my case is under new jurisdiction. 

Take a read 

No one can tell you what is enough and what is not enough.  It is all up to the officer to whom your case is assigned. 
 
If you have told your story in the best way possible, and documented everything you can, you can't do any more.  The worst that could happen is that you could have an interview.
 
So if you are so terribly nervous, start practicing with your spouse now for a Stokes Interview (use Google).  Be sure you know about each other's childhood, family, schooling, likes and dislikes.
 
Quite frankly, I think your info listed is pretty darned good, but again, none of us can get into the heads of the officer.
 
If you are a legitimate couple, you will not have any issues.  If you have an interview, then that will just be another step in the process.
 
Best of luck to you!

Thank you. Yes, we are planning on doing all of that and also get them notarized. 

I want to thank all VJ members who responded to all my questions and concerns from the initial start of K-1 up to my AOS Approval. I went through this entire process without any RFE, the embassy stage was easy breezy.. lol.. and most of all, AOS, getting approved without doing an interview at only 7 day less 4 months after filing for AOS...
A big thank you to everyone.. Vj website and its members are truly a blessings and very supportive of each other and their immigration process.
For all the new members, I would recommend doing your own research first then ask questions in the forum. Accept what experienced members say to you. They are not here to judge, they are here to help. Do not be afraid of telling your story, it only makes it better for you, so that members can relate to you or tell you what you should do..
Thanks again.

not meaning to be brash, and I do understand the desire to finish this process expediently and on budget, But... how can someone even think to take a potential appointment slot from another prepared couple, just to take a half step ahead?? sorry, but it makes no sense to me, and if everyone did that we'd never get anywhere.. this whole site is about streamlining our preparedness (preparedness is the pivotal word there)
fingerz crost for your success once ready

I am sorry you are the victim of domestic violence. There is never ever a situation or circumstance that justifies or excuses a spouse hitting another.
You are concerned with the wrong person. Before you worry about him, consider worrying about yourself.
There is a website and hotline you can call and get some help about domestic violence: http://www.thehotline.org/
Good luck.

Varies greatly depending on where you live. In a big city expect to pay more.
You do realize the legal way to immigrate to the US is by your wife filing a petition for you, getting an immigrant visa, etc. right? You can't just pack up and move here.

What kind of job was she trying to get? It is difficult for her to come here and get a good job with no work history in the USA. My wife was a school teacher with her bachelor in elementary education before coming to the USA. Her first few jobs was with the Christmas Tree shop and Walmart. She took a CNA certification program at a local community college and the nursing home where she did her internship hired her because they liked her.
She had to wait for her green card when she first got here before anyone would hire her. Fortunately it was only a few weeks because we were already married before she came to the USA.
I told her that she needed to start at the bottom and work her way up. She is enrolled in college and is pursuing a Registered Nursing degree.
The nursing home where she is a certified nursing assistant loves her and it will help her a lot when she becomes a RN.

If they flat out told her "we're looking for US Citizens only" and it is not the type of job that is legally permitted to draw that line (it's not--please read all the posts above) that that is the actual literal definition of discrimination and it is not OK.
I'd be MORE than happy to screw over any company that treats people like that, even at a bit of personal risk, but that's just me. (The chances that anyone remembers her in a week are nil, the chances that they remember the company are much higher). Hell, just have a friend call saying that they're doing an article for a local paper and ask the company for an on-the-record comment about why they won't hire foreigners. That could clear that right up. Honestly, you have to scare the snot out of people with their own livelihoods if they're ever going to change, and people who pull this kind of ####### *deserve it*.
If you're perfectly fine with being discriminated against based on your immigration status that is your choice. But you can't expect others to be the same.

I wouldn't recommend doing that unless they can prove for sure there was discrimination. If she wants to throw her name out there as a 'difficult' person...throwing a company to the dogs who wouldn't accept her application is the way to go. Don't know if they're ina big town or a small town.
Why bother, move on....I had to skip all kinds of positions in my field when I first came because they required US citizenship...I didn't cry discrimination every time I saw it.
Anyway - hope the OP's wife finds another job to apply for.

These are MY personal opinions, it is not an attack on any of you.
1. That everything is about money. It's vulgar to discuss money 24-7 in my personal opinion.
2. That there is no universal health-care. I come from the 3rd world where there is none but paid for insurance covers 100%, co-pays are unheard of.
3. That some people treat immigrants with contempt even if they have jumped through hoops to get here.
4. That some people who are not disabled go on disability, milking the social security fund more than it needs to be.
5. That some people are generally interested in doing the the bare minimum, especially in union/govt jobs.
6. That nearly everyone thinks all army personnel are "heroes" for fighting in unnecessary wars. No, you are not a hero, you are just doing a job.
7. That sales tax is not included in prices. Why can't you just give a sticker price on everything that includes all taxes? It's not rocket science.
8. That some people think this is still the "greatest country on earth" when in fact I see a society in decline due to laziness.
9. That it's perfectly acceptable to "speak your mind" and hide behind archaic Amendments to the Constitutions when in fact you are spouting hate speech.
10. That you just don't CARE.

Congrats. I was approved within a month too.
The people who are arguing about your petition being sent to Texas, get a grip of yourself.. It's not a member from this forum (petitioner/beneficiary) fault you're from a state where your case will be processed at the TSC. It's like everyone going through the the same process (k-1 or CR-1) but ended up having to provide more evidence at the interview at their embassy and then put into AP for weeks or months while some do interview today and visa issue tomorrow.
It may eventually turn around that your AOS get approve in 3 months while this person take a year or more. We have no control over this process so get angry somewhere else and be happy for the people who are journeying with success. Good things come to those who wait.

Sorry to hear, marriage may be the route to take, however these ppl are very verse/trained
on the culture of the country They are aware most Jamaican men prefers a mate of their age
group or younger (not saying that's your case) but there are also a large percentage that have
an older woman for benefits. so if this CO was adamant about no believing I the relationship
then you have to address the reason for your denial in front-loading and prove its authentic

I don't really think they following dates, it depends who is more lucky, I'm still not outside normal process time, so will wait to get my approval next week then:(
