A new update (1.0.4.0) is being published today. Will address some major problems and will have UI optimizations.

Hello everyone,

I decided to contribute, and made a USCIS case tracker app for Windows 10. It is available for free!

If it prompts you to purchase, just select trial. The next submission will make a change in the price so it will be available for free. There are no watermarks, advertisements or limitations in available features. This app was made for you, my fellow U.S. immigrants, to make your life easier.

I am requesting also feedback on what you'd like to see in the app. Keep in mind when rating/reviewing the app that I just published this. It may still have some rough things. I have been working on it for 2 months now.

Download link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/uscis-case/9ppcl7m7srd7

Features:

- Background updates and notifications on Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile (Windows Phone) and Xbox One

- No advertisements (This app was made for you).

- Unique design using the official flag colors.

- Lightweight: Improved battery life and less power consumption.

Requirements:

- Windows 10 with July 2016 update or later (build 14393 or later)

- Windows 10 Mobile

- Xbox One

Upcoming changes to be made:
- Ability to change background update interval.

- Being researched: Compare your case with previous 100 and next 100 cases to get prediction and deliver statistics. However, this feature may drain the battery as 200 web requests will need to be made.

Note: Do not forget to enable background updates in settings!

If you like the design, other platforms are being considered but not guaranteed because there are already several apps for iOS and Android available.

Thank you everyone!
 

Won't be a problem. Don't worry!

Called today. Expedite request don't slow down regular processing of the case.

It should just continue normally AFAIK. That said, we don't see expedite requests often so I don't think anybody is 100% certain what happens.

 

I'm not sure what you mean. How are they being horrible? They're following federal immigration law and processing requests in the order they arrive.

 

Good luck!

Actually from what I read is that many expedite their request between day 75 and 90.

Well 19 hours until I can call again.

So let's say if I cancel the expedite request, my case will just continue running normally? Or would my clock reset to 0 and have to wait another 75-90 days again?

I would actually be surprised if they can be that horrible. If a co-sponsor is losing his job, and all you do is request to have your work permit approved so you can work, I don't see what is wrong with that so you can support your family.

Basically, what I do have is proof of the company going bankrupt, since it's all over the internet: https://cases.primeclerk.com/abengoa/

Oh well, I will call on Monday before I go crazy inside these walls.

Hundreds of job offers. That is definitely not a problem.

So I have received a letter from USCIS that they received my case on November 3, 2016.

Now the sponsor for my AOS his company went bankrupt, and he is currently handling the bankruptcy. But he could be left any moment without pay.

I expedited my case today, and noticed I need to send evidence. But I don't see what kind of evidence I should send. Should I perhaps have waited till February 1-9 according to the prediction timelines? Or may they take my word for it looking up the company on the affidavit of support? What is the best I can do to have my EAD approved ASAP?

Several options:

- Ask parents for money and pay them back later

- Ask a friend if you can stay with them, and pay them back later

- Go home

- Get a loan from your bank/credit union if you have a good credit score

I will be working for a vendor which would put me on a W-2 contract. Is this allowed with our EAD?

Got my K1 visa in hand! Finally.

Now for the driver's license thing, use an international driver's license if you don't have one yet. I got my international driver's license from Belgium and then one from Belgium. So basically I have two. You may have something similar depending where you are from. But of course it's advisable to get your driver's license in the U.S. asap to avoid discussions with the cops.

So I had my K1 interview in Belgium today. Was sooooo easy. Don't forget your tax returns with the I-134. You may need it. I was lucky I didn't.

- They asked me how I met my fiancée?
I told them we met in November after her brother introduced us.

- They asked when I asked her to marry?
I said 3 days before I had to go home in January (not the reasoning why), even though I proposed 4 months after we started talking and the first time we met in real life.

- What we did when I visited her in January in the U.S.?
No touristy things, we basically visited her family, friends and she showed me what she does every day.

- What my job is going to be when I arrive in the U.S.?
Software engineer

- What her dad's job is?

CFO (Because he signed the affidavit)

And then he said we looked happy and my K1 was approved.

so my wedding is on October 17. If I want to fly to my fiancée on August 23, I will only have 30 days left after the wedding. Is that enough? Or should I fly to her one month later to be on the safe side?

my interview is on Thursday. My wedding date is set for october already. I would be surprised if something goes wrong now.

When it is approved, your green card will be mailed to you. There is nothing else for you to do.

Within 90 days before your 2 year green card expires, you must file for ROC > http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide

If you file for ROC, do you get a renewed green card? Is there anything else we would need to file besides for ROC? And 5 years after you got married you can file for U.S. citizenship (naturalization)?

Validity K1 Visa

So the validity of the K1 visa is 6 months when you receive it. What does this mean exactly?

Does it mean I have 6 months to enter the U.S.?

Or does it mean I have 6 months to go to the U.S., get married and have the AOS filed before the K1 expires and/or approved?

I may have my K1 in July 2016, but I am planning to fly to the U.S. in September 2016 and get married on 17th of October 2016. Would there be any issues here?

Just completed my DS-160. Now saving that for the interview in case they call.

Really stressing out as she's visiting my country on Tuesday. It's her first time outside the U.S., and she is meeting my family & friends.

When do I fill out a DS-160 and get my medical appointment and interview? My case currently shows 'In Transit'?

My NVC shows currently 'In Transit', not sure what it means. Takes 3-4 working days at NVC before moving to 'In Transit'.

Relax. Sometimes it takes longer. I got my NVC case number after 33 days.

just look past whatever it says on there for except the one in Blue of course... the rest is not for us.

We already sent all the other forms like affidavit and DS-260 with the I-129F package. Unless they need a new copy of these.

I still have to wait for the invoice number, probably calling later tonight, the agent said they were working on it right now.

Maybe I can schedule the interview when she is here if I am lucky that would be a coincidence.

What do I do with this ?
