AMA. L

My husband moved from Ghana to the US through K1 visa in feb 2022. We got married and filed our AOS in May 2022. I made a mistake and filed i130 even though we married within 90 days. It’s been over a year he has  not received his EAD.. we have been calling, expediting the EAD based on financial difficulty, but deny the case, we have asked to speak to a tier 2 officer still no answer.   We were then given an interview date on Aug 8th only for it to be cancelled and we wereesent a letter to confirm the cancellation.. so now that our EADd is out of processing term, what can be done about it ?  Thanks 

How do I get to speak to a live agent at USCIS? I use to use INFOPASS but now it doesn’t work anymore. Any other way to get hold of a live agent ?

Thanks 

Thank you all

I can't think of any reason why it would be a problem.  

I’m thinking it will delay everything as in I will get back in line, I don’t know just curious

Did you marry within 90 days of his arrival via the K-1?

I don't fully understand.  Did you submit the I130 with your I485 package?

Yea unfortunately I did and I submitted it on May 2022

Hello everyone, 

I filed I-130 although my husband came in with K1 visa, what is the worse that can happen? 
 

thanks 

Can a K1 petitioner marry within 90 days but file AOS after the 90 days say a few months ? What are the consequences ?

My CR1 petition was sent to Embassy March 2020 but I still haven't heard anything, please can someone tell the cases being processed by the embassy now?

I think they are working 

Hello Everyone, 

so finally my petition has been sent to the embassy and it says ready. The NOA 2 is valid from 08/04/21 to 12/04/21. Do I have to find interview between these dates? What if I am not getting an interview date ? Thanks

Has anyone received their NVC case number? For august approvals. 

Yes I have and I called for my invoice #

Hello everyone,  so I do have my case number but not the invoice number, is it still advisable to call for the invoice number eventhough the case is still at NVC and it’s going to take a while to get to the Ghana embassy ?

Yes they will and have started requesting cases! I finally after being dq'd since 2/21/20 and sitting and waiting for an interview , I woke up this morning to an email from NVC, we finally got our interview appointment for 10-18! I am so excited, I can not stop yelling! Keep an eye out for your emails!

@sweetk328 thanks for sharing, atleast it gives us some type of hope. I am happy for u shd i hope all goes well 

Ohh I see, well let’s keep hope alive 

You need to submit 2 separate letters. You sign your letter, he signs his 

Give it a few days more from what I have read here, it’s the norm till the review the document you sent in 

@mbn114 if it’s true then that’s really good, but if I may ask where did you get this information from? My NOA was August 

So I keep asking myself if ever the Gh embassy will return to work. I have a friend whose wife just joined him from Sierra Leone, meaning their embassy is trying to work on the backlog, I don’t see that with Ghana embassy.., God please help us, I can’t imagine the years I have to wait for this K1 to be called then more years to get the green card… hmmm

My case hasn’t been 60 days yet, since it was approved on Aug 5, but I did get this same email yesterday… I don’t know 

I think I am looking at years smh

The reason is on the website of US consulate in Ghana: “Travel restrictions and operational constraints caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a backlog of IV cases.”

Yea but some embassies are working, Covid is not going anytime soon esp when pple are not listening, so we have to figure out how to live with it. It’s not fair that families have to go through this… anyway we pray things change 

So I got a letter from NVC stating that Accra embassy is not working and so my I 129F is on hold, until they resume however they cannot tell or guarantee when that will be…. My question is what is preventing them from working? I thought we were level 1 or 2.. Anyway at this point it’s prayers we need

Hi Ama,

 

You also asked this question on one of my posts.

 

Yes, my K-1 expired long ago. I contacted both the NVC and embassy and they said that they are aware that many applications have expired but there is nothing more for us to do except wait. The NVC will send applications to the Ghana consulate once they start asking for them.

 

There was also a post on VJ stating that USCIS was letting K-1 visas expire as a way to reduce the backlog. I also talked to my senator staffer about this rumor and she felt that it was not true but she couldn't guarantee a 100%, but felt confident that that wouldn't happen.

 

It is just a waiting game for now with not much information on when things will start moving again from the NVC to Ghana.

Thanks for your response. At this point, I am even wondering if K1 was the best option because after all these wait game, it will also take years to adjust status in the US.. lord help us 

Ohh ok. Thanks

Sometimes the text and email comes a day or 2 after. It happened to me
