Hey all ,

After all frustration with USPS delays since January 11th, finally we received the NOA1 text message and email from USCIS last night at 11:25, I opened my eyes with seeing the text this morning which is a great relief of pain.

Now, the real game of Waiting started. 

Good luck everyone.

Congrats! As soon as you step into the country, you can file your I-485, EAD and AP. It costs $1140 plus 85 dollars for biometrics fees. it is not up to $1800 to file it. Its a total of $1,225

Wrong information  ! “As soon as you Step into the country you can file your I-485”

when an applicant arrives in the US with a K1 Visa , they have to get marry with in 90 days.

after they got married they can apply for AOS.

Not as soon as they step into the US.

HI everyone! I need your comment please...

I mailed out the documents on 1/10 by USPS and still showing "transit to Chicago" when I track it. When I call the bank, cheque has not been cash out yet....

My wife K1 visa will be expiring on 2/8 and I am afraid she will need to leave the country if this doesn't get to USCIS on time. 

What should I do? 

 On behalf of your wife’s K-1 visa as long as she married you within 90 days don’t be worried because the requirement for the K-1 visa is to marry within 90 days with the US petitioner, once she entered to the US that day her K-1 visa has been expired even though she have six months.

There are people that they cannot apply for AOS immediately due to monetary problem but  they fulfilled the K-1 requirements so they are not going to be deported

Hi , we sent our AOS by USPS in Jan 11 but still showing in transit delivery delayed. As we went to USPS post office to ask about the problem thry said the problem is in ELk Grove USPS post office in Chicago and idk whats the problem still waiting for mt package to be delivered to USCIS. Hope we both get there soon

just be patient.

Hello guys, after a while coming back to the AOS step. I am applying from New Jersey , how about you guys ?

sent off our paper works today January 11. Probably it will be delivered in two days.

wish you all to hear good news soon.

Congratulations!

It means your visa is approved and it will get issued soon.

it was same  with my visa . I had my interview in Jul 18 , then it was in administrative processing for over two months .

then in Oct 1st my status in CEAC changed to Application received, and in Oct 4 it went back to Administrative processing.

and in Oct 11 it changed to Issued .

your status will  change  to issued soon , don't worry .

I wonder what you did write that it come out 120 pages ? Lol

2 paragraph is fine but if you have more words for saying it shouldnt be more than two pages .

You just send the I-129F with its supporting documents.

No need for the affidavit of support at this point.

you need to send the affidavit of support when your I-129F approved and they send it to the country where your fiance lives.

then your fiancé will have an interview in the US embassy which is in his country and that's when he needs to take the affidavit of support.

plus he doesnt have to proof his financial status. The affidavit of support has to be signed and dated by the US citizen , you should proof to the embassy that you can support your foreign fiancé at the US.

hope its clear now 

You dont worry about it, its a normal thing . The AP may take several days , weeks or months but it will be issued soon.

They are doing some background check first and after the final review they will issue the visa for you.

for me it has been more than two months that i am in AP (Administrative processing).

The last update on his case was on august 30th and there were few updates before that too 

Were those updates due to your mails to the embassy or it was updated itself ?

Are you guys both Indians ?

AUE and Indian embassy are both taugh embassies.

but as long as you proof your relationship is genuine I don't see a problem.

plus I had the same situation as yours because of our families .

but they never asked about if our family approved our relationship or anything.

i had my interview now waiting for the issuance of my visa .

How was your fiance interview?

My interview was good , the officers were so kind and friendly.

they asked me around 16 questions and then they gave me two white cards about immigration law in The US. They gave me one yellow card 221g because of my medical.

i will have my medical this Coming Tuesday so they said once we recieve your medical result we will work on your case.

Hey friends,

I am going to have my interview the day after tomorrow.

I prepared all the required documents.

could you guys plz give me some tips about the Interview in Us embassy ?

Hello friends , 

I have recieved my packet 4 and my interview is going to be in July 18Th.

but I am so worried about my NOA2 approval notice expiration, it's going to be expired in July 21, so what is going to happen ? 

Hi guys, 

it has been 1 month and 12 days since our case recieved by the consulate.

but I am still waiting for my Packet 3/4 since then.

i don't know why it's taking so long for the Embassy to send me the packet 3/4!?

i sent them twice emails and they responded that when we open your case will send you in shortly.

but it's taking forever 😞

Plus the CEAC keeps updating but the same "READY".

is this mean the consulate working on our case or what?

TIA!

Pay stubs from past 6 months , one for each month would be enough.

They Called him yesterday and they did it before 2 months ago 

 

So it means what ? They called to say come and pick his visa ?

Yes getting divorced and quickly apply for a K1 is a red flag.

but rather than this was there any other red flags ? Like big Age difference, mix race relationship etc .

we are on the same boat, ours was sent to the embassy last 4May and up to now, the status is still in transit. we dont know if we should call the embassy or wait a little longer.

You can call to the NVC and tell them this , they may have some answer for you .

I am freaking out a bit , it has been one month since our case has been transferred from NVC to the local embassy and I am still waiting for the embassy to schedule my interview and send me the instructions.

I sent twice an email to let them know that all my documents are ready for my interview but they didn't reply me.

i know I can't do anything then just to wait for the Embassy's email.

Read it carefully,

IF YOU HAVE A 2 YEAR GREEN CARD YOU FILE FOR REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS (ROC) 90 days prior to your green card expires.

"A conditional permanent resident receives a green card valid for 2 years. In order to remain a permanent resident, a conditional permanent resident must file a petition to remove the condition during the 90 days before the card expires. The conditional card cannot be renewed. The conditions must be removed or you will lose your permanent resident status."

"Any alien granted permanent resident status on a conditional basis (e.g., a spouse of a U.S. citizen; an immigrant investor), who is required to petition for the removal of the set conditions before the second anniversary of the approval of his or her conditional status."

Conditional status starts when you first obtain lawful status in the US, 
for CR-1's that is the day you enter the US
for K-1's that is the date on your green card, (when it was approved/ issued) (not when you entered the US, 

for CR-1 if you enter the US AFTER your 2nd wedding annivasary then the officer at the POE should change you to IR1, (the embassy can also change it if your interivew is after the 2nd annivasary. 

Yes you have to file ROC (if required), in order to apply for US citizenship. 
some think they can "save money by not filing for ROC after 2 years instead just apply for US citizenship after 3 years. 
well they are wrong. 

"An application for naturalization may not be approved if there is a pending petition for removal of conditions. If an applicant’s petition to remove conditions is pending at the time of filing or is filed prior to the interview, USCIS will adjudicate the petition to remove conditions prior to or concurrently with the adjudication of the naturalization application"

Hi everybody! i am filling out I 134 Affidavit, confused at Part 1 question12 bout length of residency in US,

I am a naturalized citizen, and it is asking me to put an exact date, should i put the date when i first came to US on a visa? or the date when i first got my greencard? 

thanks in advance!   good luck to all!

Put the date that the first day you entered for the first time in the USA.

if you don't remember the exact date then just give a close estimate date.

It's normal , once they finished the backround check they will update it , most of the time it's AP-Ready- AP -Issued .

hope you will get soon an update of Issued.
