I was late to file AR-11 so many times 😅 And my USC spose never filed one 🥴

I was ROC’ing after AOS’ing inside the US, waited 2 years and had to reach out to my senator to get help. I don’t think there’s any correlation. When I was waiting for AOS - plenty of folks got approved in 3-4 months while my case took a little over a year (that was unusually long back in 2016).

Ok. Cool?

Yes, just like I noted in my comment that it was simply an example of how things did not go according to USCIS standard procedures, nothing else.

My I-751 took almost exactly 2 years to be approved.

It was one paragraph, and I made it clear that it was just an example, and OP's situation is different. OP (who I addressed in my comment) understood me. Not sure why it's such a struggle for you or why you keep nit-picking my comment when those involved have already moved on.

I think I was pretty clear in what I said, and OP definitely understood my message and didn't feel like he was given a false hope nor was my intent to give him one.

Dude, you're on a wrong website. May I suggest Reddit?

When a person who filed a petition (US citizen) needs to expedite the case, the reasons for expedite are based on hardship falling on the US citizen. For example, US citizen falling ill, unable to work / provide care for themselves = reason for expedite. Petitioned alien relative under the same circumstances would not be a reason for an expedite. Ultimately USCIS would grant an expedite if bringing over an alien relative would alleviate some sort of burden on the US citizen. Not the other way around. HOWEVER There was recently a case here of someone being granted an expedite for their Russian fiancée who was cutoff from being supported by her American fiancé due to sanctions. According to USCIS rules his request was not supposed to be approved. Now your situation is entirely different because your brother is under a completely different category of visa priority, and not an immediate relative (as per USCIS definition). But I'm just pointing out that some rules don't seem to apply these days when it comes to Ukraine / Russia specifically. With that said, I think Uniting for Ukraine is your best (and probably quickest) path forward.

1. AOS: case outside of processing times, reached out to USCIS and got an interview scheduled for me (Michael Bennet’s office). 2. I751: case stuck in NJ office (I have moved to VT by then and changed my address months before), reached to Cory Booker’s office who couldn’t help because case was out of their jurisdiction but put me directly in touch with someone in Bernie Sanders’ office. 3. I751: Bernie Sanders’ office assisted in transferring my case to VT office in two days. They even forwarded me the email chain from USCIS NJ employee who confirmed that they located my case and it was being transferred. 4. (forgot about this one) Passport: Nancy Pelosi’s office assisted with expediting my passport & after their outreach I received my approval the next day.

Ok so sue. And in my experience - I received VERY prompt assistance in all 3 times I reached out to my local representatives / senators 🤷‍♀️

What's the logic behind asking a community of regular citizens who have nothing to do with USCIS policies and operations, and many of whom have been waiting much longer than you have?

They'll send it / upload the notice to your online account if you have one. Just wait.

Yes, in the post you quoted, OP confirms he understood that he CANNOT file early.

News to me. Source? Source? Elaborate?

Congratulations, guys! Rooting for you ❤️

Nobody knows how long you'll have to wait but there are two paths: - you receive an invitation for an interview for I-751 (least likely unless you have a complicated case / were not interviewed for your original conditional GC) - your I-751 gets approved by reviewing officer without interview & you are placed in queue for the Oath Ceremony at which point your online status will get updated as such
