I don't think anyone can give you a accurate answer here, as everyones case is reviewed differently by USCIS (especially when crimes are involved).

The best thing is to get consultation by a experienced immigration lawyer.

Also I recommend you to stay always truthful to authorities.

I updated my timeline now.

I recently had my Biometrics.

2 days after, my I-485 updated its status online and now says Case is ready to be scheduled for an Interview.

However, the EAD, AP, I-130 are still on ''Case was received'' status. I was told at the Biometrics that I should receive me EAD within a few weeks.

And I must say that my my Timeline is pretty quick at the moment.

Does the new status means that my Biometric background check is done and now they are working on the next step?

And how long till I have my Interview Scheduled?

I agree, but to be honest.... every human in this world has one and the same heritage, period.

This was the first time I ever have been confronted with this type of question (thats why the mistake), and I must say that I feel discriminated -even if its just required for background check.

I figured out, nothing to be concerned about if anyone else is in the same situation.

This Worksheet was just additional information so they can process the background check quicker.

I just recently had my Biometric appointment, however I am now looking at the Applicant Information Worksheet that I filled there, and I realized that I might have circled the wrong Race code of myself.

I circled White/Hispanic because that was the only race code category that fits to me, now I found out that White/Hispanic is relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries which I am not related to.

Should have just circled White....

Is this going to cause a issue, and should I call USCIS?

Did you tried Wells Fargo? I just had to show them my ID and Passport and they added me to my husbands account (and that without SSN).

I would try asking at the bank if they could signature it or stamp the statement documents.

Also, try gathering additional evidence about the relationship.

need some help!!!!

i need a police certificate from UAE where I work for 3 years and the UAE embassy here in manila can can make it but it takes more time like 6 months to a year, and my interview is on NOV.7, is there any possible how to get it quick . please let me know i really need some advice, im planning also to go to dubai just to get the police certificate,

You could directly contact the country officials who issue those certificates and make them directly send it to you in exchange of money.

Does it says the same date on his I-194? https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home

I would immediately go to the airport where he arrived and get it sorted out with a CPB officer.

If the original birth certificate itself has a seal stamp, it should be enough if it is being sent to USCIS.

As far as I am aware, petitioner or beneficiary can not translate it, but anyone else who is fluent in english and the native language can translate.

- However I would still consider hiring a certified translator, because the translation has specific rules and needs to be accurate.

I assume that your husband has a B2 visa.

In some special cases people with visitor visas can get up to 1 year of permitted stay.

I still would go to the airport where he arrived in and talk with an officer and get it sorted out.

I would call USCIS regarding this matter.

My lawyer told me that the FBI background checks are very busy right now which causes big delays, it could take up to 9 months depending on your case.

I have my Biometrics scheduled next week, I will try asking the officers.

As far as I am aware, once you sent the I-765 you should be receiving the work permit in around 90 days.

Ok, I rather just leave our phones in the car.

Also, I don't want to end up getting my make-up removed there if they request so.

I hope someone who experienced this can answer.

Hello,

I am currently on the path of obtaining my marriage-based Greencard and Permanent Residency.

I recently received the Notice of Action, and as far as my lawyer told me the picture they take of me will be used on my Greencard.

I was wondering if I can wear strong make-up, as I always present myself in public like this.

They have accepted my Passport-styled photos when submitting the forms, but I am concerned about the Biometrics rules.

Also, are smartphones prohibited in the building, even when it is silenced/turned off?

Thank you.
