Renee & Miguel

We just received our approval this morning... Super excited... I was coming to my 7 month mark this Friday so it was a long wait but hang on, it will come!! Positive vibes.. Now I have to figure out what to do next.  I remember reading somewhere that I can call  the embassy in a few days to get a case number.  Can someone direct me where to find the next steps?

Many Congratulations to the two of you! We are at day 189 so I'm hoping to hear something very soon.. Was hoping to receive something by early June but we are halfway through the month. 6.5 months in and nothing. 

thank you so much for the quick response.. i just went on and registered.. Much appreciated!

Hi everyone, I know this is a stupid question but can you send me the link to the "new" uscis site?  I want to make sure I'm on the right site.  I am a December 1st Filer so I'm hoping soon too.  Congtats!

Ok, sounds good, thank you.  I didn't think they would let him use his passport from Mexico.

Once my fiance arrives here, are we able to travel within the United States before we were married?  If so what would he use for ID since I don't think his driver's license or passport from Mexico would work?

Ok so I see it's possible to actually visit if you have another visa while your waiting on the k1.  can we apply for a tourist visa with reason being to visit my fiance, meet her family, etc.? or will they not even entertain you application at that point? is there any chance at all of my fiance being approved for a tourist visa while we are waiting on k1?

Ok so I know I have a long way to go but I'm just trying to figure this all out so I know what we are in for going forward.  I've been reading a lot of information about all this.  So once he gets here and we marry, we can apply for the AOS, EAD, AP.  Realistically how long will it take to get the EAD and AP?  Of course one of the worries is that he has to wait a long time before he can actually work legally.  Then secondly I just worry that if he has to get home to his family for whatever the reason, I don't want to have any issues.  So my question is do we know currently what the timing is for the EAD & AP.  I understand the AOS can take easily at least 6 moths.  Thanks..

I have another question.  I see that we can check the status on the current processing times at USCIS.  How come it says currently reviewing applications from June.  It was last updated as of October 2017 so is it possible that they have been reviewing June's from October until now?  Is there another site you can recommend the current processing times?

Thanks again for all of the information. I appreciate the words of encouragement as this process is difficult on all of us.  I travel to Mexico once a month to see him for a couple days at a time.. It's hard but we are trying to remain positive and hope that we get lucky like some of the people have.  I agree with there being no rhyme or reason. Some people move along the process quicker than others.  I will read up some more.  I'm just extra sad because im thinking wow i'm almost two months in only few months to go and now it's all changed.  Good luck to everyone and thanks again..

Thanks for your response.  Wow, that's a bummer.. we were told this part of the process would be 3-5 months.. then they recently told us 5-7 for this part. As far as the EAD and AP, when can we file for that? Do we have to wait until he's actually here and we are married?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum so hoping I can get some answers.  I received my NOA1 on December 1st 2017.  They originally told me the whole process would be 5-6 months but now they are saying it could be longer.  Realistically what should I expect in terms of timing for receipt of the NOA2?  My fiance lives in Mexico.  Also once he does finally get here to the US, I understand that he can't travel out of the country until the Adjustment of Status is completed.. What is the current timing for that part of the process and what if there's a family emergency?  Do we have to start the process all over?  Thanks!
