Do you mean the USCIS Case Tracker App?  

yes

does anyone else see this as a shameless plug for a person's app?

the child can be added to your spouses since the birth too place after the i130 was filed so no need to make another one for the child.

check this older thread

technically you don't have to have it in hand but it has to be approved before you leave. to attend a board meeting is not a really good reason since you will need to show that it was not a scheduled event that you are forcing them to give you emergency ap for and that if it is just a meeting why you can not just call in or do a video call.

if you do not get ap they will not let you back in without an immigrant visa since you have clearly established immigrant intent. you are looking at 12-14 months outside the us if you leave. emergency ap is usually for unforseen medical or death of close family members. not business or vacation travel.

you can have both the f1 student allowing you to stay and the pending aos allowing you to stay at the same time so you would just lose the f1 but since the aos gives you authorized stay also you are fine.

they would know you have authorized stay since your alien number connects the two applications. though they do tend to make mistakes occasionally but it is easy to show you still have authorized stay with the noa1 from the aos.

the uk has many good welfare programs. they have a job seeking allowance and a housing benfit. it will not be a great place and he may need to move but he will get a roof over his head and some money to spend on food. 

I just want to clarify the relationships here.

when you say parent petition do you mean that your child in the us is petitioning for you? so the child you are wanting to add is a sibling to the child in the us who petitioned you?

since the child was born before the petition was filed the child will need it's own petition. but that is secondary to even adopting the child or determining if the adoption is even valid for immigration.

it is possible to legally adopt the child but for the adoption to not be valid for immigration. the main issue is are the child's biological parents alive.

these restrictions are in place to prevent family members from adopting relatives so the child can move to the us.

by law they can not approve your application while you are on probation.

it is thier choice if they chose to out right deny you or defer the approval until you are no longer on probation.

ok so my understanding is correct. I am now pending AOS. I can reduce my F-1 workload to part-time. I will go out of status. However, since I was valid status at the time of filing (and few months afterwards), this would not impact my AOS interview (hopefully). The only risk I am taking is if there is (god forbid) an AOS denial (which would result me having to leave the country)

did you see my response to your questions? do you still think I made a mistake?

according to the current visa bulletin you were able to file so based on television dates given you should be good from that perspective.

usc do not need to wait since there is an unlimited number of visas for spouses and minor children so they are always current. 

when was the i130 filed?

when was the i485 filed?

My PD is not current, its April 2016. But its current in the filing chart, thats why i filed. Is that still the case?

I miss read it i thought you ment you were current on that date. my bad. please disregard my statement about being on since the aos was pending. 

if you did file the i485 already it should be denied since your priority date was not current. better hope your priority date becomes current before school ends since one day out of status will cause the aos to be denied.

how soon till your spouse can apply for citizenship?

Now if your priority date is current and you have already filed i-485 then you should be fine.

that's the case here since the aos is pending and still is on f1 status.

Not eligible for OPT because this is an F-1 ESL (English as second language). School will be over in one year, but I'd like to attend the remaining part time (I know this will make fall out of status, hence my questin). My PD is April/2016.

it's all good then as long as you were in status when you filed you are fine. since the aos gives you status while it is pending. make sure to get the ead and ap so you can work and travel.

what is your priority date and when will school or opt be over?

the aos will preserve your sausage while it is pending but since you married a lpr you must remain in status when you file. and my concern is that you tried to concurrently file which a spouse of a lpr is not eligible to do.

when did your dad get his citizenship? what is your country of birth?

your case is pending while it just says your case was recieved. mine was stuck at that till it said card was in production. and it took just shy of 15 months

go ahead and file a service request! It might not help, but it can't hurt!

no need to file got an email on Thursday that the card was being produced

use your passport as id. at the time of your medical you are unmarried and then submit under your married name they will understand the two names.

there is nothing you mentioned that would compel you to return. money can be easily moved and if you tried to stay you would get a job here.

check with the schools what vaccines are needed since they can differ from what immigration wants.

nothing is stopping him from making the videos he just can not upload them and get money from them. he can make the videos and upload them all when he gets the ead or find someway to upload them so he gets no add revenue.

if your mother is coming for medical treatment prepare to pay for it all out of pocket.

if she is coming to support you through treatment I hope you recover quickly.

congratulations
