We both were tested on the 6th and read positive on the 7th.  Stay hydrated and eat what you can.  Mary took cough syrup and tylenol and had a good appetite.  Our fevers ended on that Friday.  She is already back at work. 
 
I'm older, immunocompromised and I'm still at home.  I ended up with a little bit of fluid in the lungs and got some good meds. I was coughing and went to the ER.  They were super helpful and sent me home since I was hydrated.  If something feels wrong call the ER and they will advise you.
 
My parents, son and friends made sure we had plenty food and Gatorade (and paper towels and TP).  Ubereats, Grubhub and Doordash and grocery store deliveries are still running. We ended up being quarantined for 10 days.
 
Take care and get some rest.

We have been in AP for nine months waiting for my fiancé to just get approved and come out here now I think that’s been out the window for now. I’m so depressed over this!

K1 is an immigrant visa.  But don't panic, when I applied for a K1 in 2012, it was the start of DACA and they shelved K1 visas for EIGHT MONTHS until they eventually got around to getting to K1 again, this will pass just be patient.

According to my status and everyone in all of my groups on Facebook and many people here, it seems this morning CEAC switched those in administrative processing, specially those issued a 221g, to refused. Most have not had a change in date. It is very possible that this is just a systemwide glitch. No lawyer has any answers so we will wait and see what happens in the next days.  Just hoping this is a new procedure. Who else saw this? 

He cannot force you to leave the US, and you can leave his home find somewhere to stay as long as your i94 has not expired... You can get all the documents from divorce yourself before you go home... And who know he might change his mind... Good luck.

Sounds like it is a glitch. I was not able to log onto my husband's case for a few moments, then when I did it said Refused. Everyone I have talked with has experienced the same thing.  This process is so nerve wrecking, then to think they are having glitches does not help. Please...if anyone hears anything from the Embassy either phone, mail or email can we keep each other posted? I still hope this status change means being with my husband sooner. 

Hi.
 
Thanks so much for this information. What is the name of that facebook group? I would like to join.

Term itself is self explanatory , If i used the word his Yearly income is 20-25K than it should give people the idea if his income is that low .. you get tax returns by the end of year when you file for it on IRS . As i said, people don't read carefully here
 

You mean TAX REFUND. 
You clearly don't know the difference between a tax return and a tax refund.  Got Google?

When you say that his tax return were $20-$25k for the last three years, that amount implies his reported income for those years.  You did not say tax refund.  

$20-25k/year is a handsome amount of money?  

I have hired the Hacking Law Firm to carry my immigration process though not for a writ of mandamus. I'd recommend that law firm to anyone who has questions related to an immigration case. That law practice really delivers and JIm Hacking and his team are very knowledgeable in regards to immigration matters. 

As has already been mentioned you need to talk to James hacking. He has filed many of these petitions and my understanding most of the time he files it, he gets the consulate to adjudicate and move on your case. He has many YouTube videos on this topic, where he says usually the consulate will write back and ask for 30 or 60 days and they will adjudicate the petion within that timeframe. 
 
and yes it’s something you can’t do on your own, he sues everyone that had touched your petiton including the department of state, Uscis and Nvc. That way one agency can’t blame it on the other.
 
also, pretty sure is most cases he doesn’t touch it unless it’s been 6 months or a year. Can’t remember exactly the timeframe he mentioned in his video. 

I'm not sure about "the answer will be no if AP is not complete"... What is your basis for saying that?
 
Literally no attorney agrees with this. The answer will be no only if there is something wrong with the case.
In response to a mandamus the government can:
- Approve
- Reject  *based on the facts about the case, a ground of inadmissibility, or another solid reason to reject*
- Issue RFE
- Call for second interview
- Ask the plaintiff for more time to review (which ALL lawyers recommend you agree)
- Ask the judge to dismiss the lawsuit
etc.
 

Get a copy and if possible a original with the judges signature will move your case along. Without it, this will cause delays.
 
We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.
 
So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.
 
Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.
 
Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.
 
Thanks

I have known people on this site much longer than that if that is the definition.
 
So she visited on the 24th Jan and has gone already? Not very long.

Hotel, AirBnB whatever.
 
Help for what?

Yeah tell me about it.  They did thoroughly reply to congresswoman’s intern though. She got more out of them than I ever did in the last four months. She did send another email because in some ways they contradicted themselves and their response so she’s going to try to get clarification. But at least I know what we’re up against. 🤷🏻‍♀️  Just wish our damn embassy would hurry it up...

Your not approved (refused) till the complete file is adjudicated by the embassy based on all submitted documents and the interview. You're not denied yet but they are taking their sweet time adjudicating your case.
 
Don't be surprised if they don't speak plain English when you contact them the second time. They like to avoid confrontation hence the wording of the document that you just received.

You can file for siblings, in the mean time work on increasing your income.

Worked for Macron.

Keep your happy butts at home until the NOA1 comes.  Pay attention to your driving.  (it drives me BANANAS to see how much people play on their phones when they drive.)

Do you understand what that means? ICE isn't going to come knock down your door at day 91.  

Hello!
 
I am hoping someone here can be of help to me. I have read through countless posts and am amazed at the level of insight displayed collectively as a community. 
 
Here is my story. I met a man in Nigeria (my home country, although I am a US citizen by birth) in January of 2016. I met him online. We spoke extensively and are from the same tribe as well. I went to visit him in Nigeria in June 2016 for a week. He followed up with a visit to the US in November of 2016 for a month where he proposed. I returned to Nigeria in Dec of 2016 for 3 weeks. The relationship was tumultuous from the beginning. We are both hot headed and argue a lot. Nevertheless, we chalked it up to long distance and thought once we lived in the same place, we would understand each other better (the naivete of youth!)
 
We filed for k1 visa in December 2016. Almost every day we had an argument and I did not feel happy in the relationship (he didn't either) but we kept at it. Relationships are hard they say. Nothing good comes easy right? I was so unsure that twice, I canceled the meeting of the parents which would have been an official realization of the relationship by our families but I didn't want any recognition because of how tumultuous the relationship was. 
 
k1 approved in June 2017 and he landed in the US that same June. We were married the beginning of July 2017. The fights continued obviously. I said things I shouldn't have said and so did he. We had yelling matches, I've never claimed to be perfect and neither was he. I am 30, and he is 37. I noticed after a while he kept calling me abusive. I was confused as to why he kept using that word until I did my research online. It was confusing to me because we both were the problem in the relationship. He often would bring things up out of the air and I just didnt understand how someone would arrive at such conclusions. For example, at the risk of giving away too much information, he would say that because I did not have enough sexual intercourse with him, I was sexually abusing him. Funny enough, I believe he truly believed these things which was just utterly confusing to me. 
 
Anyway, I quickly realized that the relationship was just too far gone and neither of us would be happy. His conditional green card had not been approved yet and I wrote to USCIS to withdraw the AOS. He pleaded and pleaded with me  not to get a divorce and I told him respectfully that one day, he would be happy that I did so as neither of us would ever be happy with each other. This happened in June of 2018. I also filed for divorce and left our apartment although, I continued to pay the rent until the lease was over. He initially was going to contest the divorce and I was preparing for a long and nasty battle (even though we had no assets/kids together) and one day, all of a sudden, he signed the divorce papers and poof it was over. October 2018.
 
All the while he kept telling me he could have filed VAWA but he wasn't going to do it. Apparently, you don't need much evidence to file for VAWA. All you need is a convincing story. If that is his route (and I strongly think it is) there is no way to defend myself against it and I honestly left well enough alone.  For clarity, we never had cops called, no domestic incidents or anything of the nature. He recorded me (without my knowledge) on his cellphone in several fights we had which stands as his proof. Additionally, there was a text message I sent to him accusing him of not caring enough about me and that was also evidence of my abuse of him. Again, confused as to his thought process
 
MY issue now is that I have found someone else with whom I have the EXACT OPPOSITE relationship with. I met him in July 2018, a month after I filed for divorce and he is the sweetest man. We are compatible in almost every way and while we have our issues, I am so at peace. We hardly have the sort of arguments I was used to with my ex. Our disagreements (if you can call it that) are more of calm discussions lol.  I met him in the US, he attended a mutual friend's party. He has since been back to see me twice (tourist visa), once in September 2018 and another in October 2019. I in turn went to see him in December 2018 and will visit again in December 2019. We both LOVE to travel (something my ex thought was a waste of time) and met up May 2019 in Europe (France, Greece and Czech Republic). He is one of the most mature men I have met although he is a year younger than I am. I was not planning on meeting anyone so quickly and indeed I thought I would be single for a long time but it just happened the way it did.  
 
Having been together for a while now, we would want to take the next step and it makes more sense for him to move here to be with me. He has a skill that pretty much ensures he will be able to earn a really good living in the US (just like he does in Nigeria) but if I move to Nigeria, I do not know what I can do and I don't want to be dependent on him. It is hard to make it there and I have a decent job here. What are my chances of filing a k1 visa again? Keep in mind the last 1 was approved in June 2017. Would I need to get a waiver? I know it is outside of the 2 year mark but since it is so close, should I just include 1 to be safe? My ex is still here and is determined to remain in the US at all costs. Assuming he has filed a VAWA case against me (I have no way of knowing), what are my chances of getting my new case approved? This will be my very last go-around with USCIS regarding a case of this nature. 
 
SO sorry for my long message but I thought it would be good to give enough context. I am really worried that because of my mistakes in the past, I won't be able to be with my current partner. 
 
Thanks so much everyone! Please take it easy with the messages, I am really sensitive and have beaten myself up a lot about this.
