For me, I paid my NVC fees on Monday and I'm waiting to get payment confirmation. I think I'm still going to complete the I-864 and the D-260 as soon as possible and see if I'll get DQ, and then go from there. I'll report back on any progress or rejections.
Currently I'm on day 3 of waiting for them to acknowledge the fee payment.
Not sure if it's related to the pause or not, but I haven't been able to get into CEAC IV all day to see if my fee payment has been acknowledged. -

With all this, I don't think immigrant visa applicants should be doing medical exams as they'll for sure be wasting their money. Perhaps those that have to do TB long term testing would find it beneficial, but any other would just pay the $$ then get 221g in the meantime medical exam expires and then once this is sorted out/lifted they have to re-do (and pay again) for medical exam.
Very good point. Thank you for that. -

My wife is still in Brazil we filed in July 2024 , we are past the NVC processing and awaiting the interview appointment letter.
So I guess we are screwed?? This is horrible news.
Ideally they will place priority on family based applications.
It looks like there will be a lot of prayer and hope in our immediate futures. -
Does anyone have an idea of how this will affect the I-130 process?

Congrats! Have fun with all the new paperwork that needs to be filled out! Seriously, congratulations though.
That also hopefully means those of us who filed early January are 3ish weeks out
I had to renew my Colombian Visa in December, so thankfully, I have most of the documents ready that will be required. Not quite sure about translations that will be needed. -

Most recent approvals are from PD 12/4/25.
You’re only a week off from that. It’s usually when you’re a month off from the most recent approvals that you’re in for a wait.
Also, high fraud risk country so longer wait wouldn’t be surprising if it does turn out to be in the cards. Doesn’t mean a rejection or RFE, just more going on behind the scenes.
That's great news. Thanks for that info. We filed on 12/4/24. Ours is through the Nebraska Service Center. -

Hello everyone, in light of the emergency Immigration Memo manifest law that pauses application from this list of countries:
Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen,
June, are Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.I was wondering If My wife and I should wait before submitting our application of the I-130 form until things clear out.She is a US citizen and we are living in other country but we were about to send our application when this news broke.Maybe this doesn't apply to the new applicants? And only affects the ongoing applications and the green cards already issued?Reference:
I'm curious. What country is your passport from? I ask because I read something in one of the threads a while ago about a beneficiary from Venezuela who had problems at the interview stage. -

Have we started getting approvals for October yet?

You are married so you can make sure u did IRS tax returns as married / best to have filed for ITIN with her as nonresident alien spouse
you had to file as married in 2024 if married in the year or before it/ if u did taxes as single , correct it now by doing the 1040x
you can make sure she has certified copy of your passport and US ID like DL to show you are live permantly in the US / it can takes months for mail to reach a person in Moroc
make sure u do the 2025 taxes ASAP next spring / she will need them along with the I 864 for the interview
I took this advice as well. Thank you! -

We're December 2024. Hoping to see some April approvals soon.

My wife lives in Colombia and we filed the I-130 in December 2024. While returning from one of my monthly trips to Colombia, one of the CBP agents asked me why didn't I apply for a visitor visa for her for a few months instead of traveling so much. I took that into consideration and we applied for her visitor visa.
She has a lot of strong ties to Colombia: Family, our apartment, her leadership role in the church, a few businesses, contracts that are pending/in progress, and other property.
She had her interview in Bogota on Friday June 13th, and was denied the visitor visa. They weren't interested in much of the documentation that she had with her, other than our marriage license and the I-130 receipt notice. The main focus was the fact that she had an I-130 in progress and that was the reason for the denial.
They essentially told her to wait for her marriage visa.

Received our 48 month extension letter as well. Wasn't quite expecting anything from USCIS, so it threw me off when I saw it on USPS Informed Delivery.

@Cilllah You are absolutely correct!
Congratulations and Good Luck! -

I am sending mine out Wednesday. Super late but still making December. I just want to check two obvious things but I am a worrier.
$765 for the fee correct? The filing fee plus the biometrics for myself and five year old?
I am in South Dakota and sending UPS. Should I send it here?

I haven't been as astute on the I-751 process as I have been on the other immigration processes. I have a question:
For a variety of reasons, we waited until my wife's GC was almost expired to file. When we receive the I-797, will that automatically extend her GC for 18 months, or is there additional action to take? Also, will this impact domestic or international travel?
Thanks in advance! -
Claudia and I had our interview on December 23rd. It went fairly smooth, other than the phone connection with the translator, and then a billing issue w/ the translator company.
The officer asked most of the questions from the I-485 form and asked to see bank statements, insurance cards, and any other info that show "cohabitation."
We received approval 2 hours later, and Claudia's 2 year green card was shipped yesterday. It should arrive early this week.
Now, here's the dumb question: What's next?

We had our interview today. It seems to have gone well. The officer was very nice, and she understood my wife's nervousness. We had a phone interpreter, and so that made things take a little longer.
As I was typing this message, I get an email saying "New Card is Being Produced."

Hi TandCaludia,
We arrived about 40 mins earlier, so we waited in a car as we were not allowed to go inside the office until 15 mins before the interview time.
After we went inside, we had to wait about 15-20 mins till our number was called.
Only limited numbers of people were in the office.
Thanks for your response. i'm trying to coordinate with a phone translator and don't want to have to pay the translator for sitting on the phone while we wait for an officer.

I had an interview today and was approved!!
The case status was also updated to “New Card Is Being Produced”
Was there a long wait time between the time that you arrived and the time that your interview started?

Also, there are a few lawsuits in progress. They may not lift the ban or the visa pause completely, but I imagine that there will be some sort of relief if they are successful. I agree with the other posters: Keep working as much as you can, because this process isn't cheap, and I don't think it will get any cheaper once the ban and the pause has been lifted. Best of luck to you.
