Thanks for posting this!  We had our interview in San Jose last week and still waiting for a status update.  Our case still shows "Interview Scheduled".   Based on a few other recent SJ interviews, it does seem that it is not too unusual for them to take a 2 - 3 weeks for approval.

We also had interview in San Jose last week and didn't get a decision yet. Our status got put to 'Under Review' Friday afternoon.

Check USCIS site several times a day, knowing full well that I will get a text and email when there's an update and my phone is on maximum volume LOL 🙄 

Well, makes me feel better knowing we are not alone! I wish you all good luck 😊  

Hi Olga&Jared

I am also in the same position as you (just moved from SF to near San Jose and everything!).

I submitted change of address on October 25th online.

I got an email notification the morning of Nov 5th saying my address had been updated, but like you they only quoted the I-485 and nothing else despite me entering the I-765 and I-131 receipt numbers.

Last night my work permit got sent to USPS and will be delivered tomorrow. I can't see the address it's going to. Fortunately my husband's family still live at our old address so if it goes there I should be ok, but I will let you know where it is delivered. 

As for switching field offices, I have heard from people who have gone through this process that our Greencard applications will get put to the back of the queue once received by San Jose  😔

We got a lawyer to be our proxy as we lived abroad. It was expensive and he hasn't really helped with much else, but it meant we could just send him our docs, sign what we needed to, and know that everything will be safe being mailed to him. Alternatively you could use your parents address and just make sure they understand how important all notifications that come through are. 

 

Also TNJ17 is right, you will need to be able to prove you can support your fiance once you get to the US. When she has her interview in London they're not so strict about needing tax returns etc, but you will need yo have payslips, bank statements etc. I haven't had my interview yet, but because we have both been living abroad for the last year (just moved home, him to US, me to UK) we will be providing a copy of our savings account, plus his Dad will be signing an affidavit of support for me. So if you could get someone to do that for you then you'll be fine. 

 Excellent. That is reassuring. I called my mom last night and she doesn't mind signing the affidavit of support for my fiance. I should have adequate savings but I'd like to remove all chance for failure. Both our parents have been acting as our mailing address for sometime so we will just tell them to pay special attention to possible visa related papers.

Hello,

I (American citizen) want to apply for a K-1 Visa for my girlfriend (UK citizen). The complication is that we would like to spend the next year or so traveling South America while we wait for the visa paperwork to be processed. Neither of us will have a physical address during this time. Is it still possible to get the ball rolling on the I-129?

Has anyone tried applying for a K-1 visa while traveling long term?

Thanks
