Well actually after the interview date update i had an update 6 days later then another one after a day then 2 consecutive updates then 2 with a difference of 2 days all in 3 weeks then everything stopped 2 of all these updates were I believe because of inquiries.

I had 3 updates very frequent after I submitted the email questionnaire. 

Last week of Feb 2019 at Islamabad got email questionnaire the next week.i was only asked for marriage evidence which I showed but CO told me to upload and said it's gonna take a few more months. When I received the email I realized few can be an understatement lol.

Amen mine has never updated on it's own after 4 times in 3 weeks after the interview let's see

That would be nice, but i have a lot of responsibilities and we are financially more stable and my fiance realizes that too..he moved his life here already..he is just missing himself.

 

Inshallah i am very hopeful but i feel really upset when half of Ramadan has already came and gone and eid is soon approaching..i just want to spend it with him...this year. It will be our 4th ramadan and eid apart.

 

Please remember me in your prayers 

4 years is a v long time my dear if me and my husband get a chance I'd definitely consider doing this because all I want is for us to have a good life with each other nothing  else if it weren't for him I may never have considered moving to US at all I love traveling I might have visited but honestly there are amazing countries and places I'm not saying US is not a good country of course it is but if Allah has given you other options make most of it and enjoy you get this life only once! Think about it can come back to US later 

I pray for you all before I pray for myself and I'm not telling you not to be rational about your life decisions but this is a beautiful world which our Creator has created for us the human beings Allah is our sustainor so if you find any possibility of doing so consider this option when he gets a GC after filing CR1 you both can move back to US?

45 days since we submitted the second medical... 

I feel like when my fiance was requested for updated medical we felt so hopeful..i still am but it really pulls you apart. 

Before we were asked, we were honestly expecting to wait even longer and we put it in the back of our heads. We were planning for other ways to be together. Go to a different country or something. Then alhamdullilah this happened and now we re back to just thinking about it every day of every minute..except really on the weekends when we know the embassy is closed...

Allah please have mercy on us. This is really draining. 

Salam dear I'd say moving to a different country if possible is a great idea why don't you guys get married stay together and file CR1 I know u have waited long but when you two are together time won't matter.

Never on it's own before I see must be someone working on your case then.

Hi Vj family, hope everyone is good well today again my case got updated second time in a row. I really don't know what does it mean and what's going on anybody has better insight or experience??

Has your case ever been updated after the interview like right after the interview?

Masha Allah that's great looks like Paki guy is a genius

I had about 7 date updates from early March 3 of which I believe were because of inquiry I have seen ppl get multiple updates without a visa n some get visa without any date updates so can't say much all the best you all.

I'm sorry I believe I have show too much energy and insight into this possible issue I actually happen to be a reader and I read deep. Bottom line is stay positive pray and leave it Allah whatever happens happens for good stay optimistic  you all I'm praying for all with my heart!

Not only is no legislative text available but the “immediate relatives” category for the spouses, parents and children under age 21 is sensitive to requirements related to “public charge” determinations.

A Department of Homeland Security proposed regulation on public charge is more far-reaching and could make it much more difficult for the spouses and children of U.S. citizens to gain admission. (Parents of U.S. citizens would no longer be admitted as “immediate relatives” under the administration proposal.)

More than 3.6 million people are waiting in family-based immigration preference backlogs as of November 1, 2018, according to the U.S. Department of State. Approximately 2.2 million are in the category for siblings of U.S. citizens, about 950,000 are the adult children of U.S. citizens and about 470,000 are spouses and minor or adult unmarried children of lawful permanent residents. The applications of these individuals and families would be eliminated. Mexico, the Philippines, India, Vietnam and China and the leading countries of origin for people in the family backlogs.

The question that comes to my mind is, will the spouse and children who are moved to the front of the line also be required to meet the qualifications he is taking about here?  Exactly what are those qualifications? The last time I saw him state what they would be, I myself, an American born citizen, wouldn’t even qualify for a visa (not that I need one) but my point is that he made it nearly impossible in that older article.

The family based immigration categories talked about in the article doesn't mention immediate relatives category other than parents and adult children of USC which are likely to be eliminated basically his point is to make the immigration pretty much like other countries where u only give immigration based of skills and education and only ppl who can get immigration benefits are spouse and children 

I also understood the same thing but I went again and re-read the article which said that USC who do not meet income requirements may not be able to sponsor immediate relatives and parents of USC may not get sponsored either adult children may also lose the benefit so only family based immigration categories left open are spouse and minor children of USC who meet defined requirements not educational or skills but spouse of LPRs do need to meet these requirements I have read 3 articles all of them state the same facts in different words basically IR1 and IR2 will be scrutinized closely as they already are but rest I mean GOD forbid if this goes into action its gonna be tough lol have waited for nearly a decade eliminating their applications is so so sad plus spouses and minor children of USC are going to STAY in the front of the line not moved as he said right where they have been.

Nope USC spouse and minor children only need to meet income requirements and go through vetting as it is now but yes spouse and children of LPRs may need to which is ironic

I have come across two more NDTV articles the cut down may effect the extended family categories as in one of the articles he states spouses and children are prioritized they go right to the front of the line where they should be. This may cause issues for many families seeking to reunite though may Allah bless us all n help us amen.

 I just read the article I agree for it to go into effect might not practically be possible not saying impossible  though but still believe they're talking about the applications from my understanding most people have got their applications or petitions approved they're just doing the vetting which is delaying the visa issuance for people here don't know what's going to happen to the applications at USCIS. Family based immigration categories might be Ltd but for immediate relatives I believe vetting is the only way so far.

I was wondering why would one need to update add at this point on ceac site doesn't say you're supposed to inform the change of add just says change of email addresses I believe ur green card delivery add needs to be updated but can't u do that at POE just a thought

Yesterday I sent an email to embassy to update my son,s address as he shifted from hostel so the reply came ..

Dear Applicant/Petitioner,

 

Thank you for your email.  Please provide us with a written and signed request to change your address in our records.  Once received, we will have our records updated.

This is supposed to send by my son... Right ?? Via courier?? Or just update via inquiry page ? 

My husband moved to another state while we were waiting for NOA2 he requested change of add through inquiry page only.im not sure however as our case was at USCis at that time.
