Thank you!!

Yes, you’re right! It’s May 2025. I thought it went to effect already bc of the signs everywhere at the airports. 
 

Not sure if there are two people writing this, but in an earlier post you said you were 33 years old then recent posts say you are 24. Maybe there's a confusion in the facts presented.

Yeah, @OldUser  you are right, all processing centers are showing up as 20+ months for I-751. This was as of now: (the website was down yesterday, so hopefully, these are current!)
 
California Center - 80% of cases are completed within - 20 Months
Nebraska Center - 80% of cases are completed within - 20 Months
Potomac Center - 80% of cases are completed within - 28 Months
Texas Center - 80% of cases are completed within - 24 Months
Vermont Center - 80% of cases are completed within - 20.5 Months

Of course! I got the Nebraska Service Center. I thought California is generally the quickest? Maybe I'm wrong. 

Things changed lately, even if it's the quickest, the quick is 20 months, but won't be surprised if jumps over 24 months in the future.

Update: Received NOA1 today, the service center is California ... apparently one of the longest processing centers for I-751 .... 😰
May I ask what was your service center?

Im seeing a lot more recently filed IOE cases being approved very, very quickly lately. Coincidence? Entirely possible…but the optimist in me says maybe they are changing how they do things and speeding this process up finally. 

Be interesting to see how cases progress in the coming weeks and months for us all!

my case was just automatically added to my account probably because I had IOE cased for EAD and AP before. Never received a letter with the code. However, my DOCUMENTS tab have been empty eversince. NOA received 3/20 . 

This is really helpful! thank you!! I know to be on a lookup for 2 letters now!

We got an IOE number for our 751 as well! They'll send you the access code in a separate letter. And you can see your service center on the NOA1.

I think everyone is getting IOE case numbers for 751s now. 

Once you add the case using code, you'll be able to download notices.

Yes, I remember seeing people mentioning IOE on this forum for I-751.
 
Congratulations, you'll be able to see and download all notices in your myUSCIS account before they're physically sent to you.

Did you add the case in your myUSCIS account? Did it ask you for some sort of access code after entering case number?

We included a letter with our I-129F, didn't receive a RFE.

You can also try b1b2 visitor visa while pending k1 decision for her to seek medical treatment in US, so you can support her through that, but it’ll be really expensive without insurance, and max she can stay would be 6 months at a time. One of my friends parents come frequently to US just for doctor appointments and medical treatments. Then if they deny that then you may have a stronger case to expedite… in my opinion. 

Ok, regarding your job. Are you in ground operations or mostly in air (i.e. pilot or flight attendant)? If it’s ground ops, you can work with just EAD.
 
AOS from ESTA is permitted given your situation you described. You had no intent to overstay your visa when you initially entered the US. So, no worries there. You just have to make sure your divorce overseas was finalized and have some final court or govt copy of that. Otherwise you might wind up w RFE for that. 
 

1. USA 
 
2. Passport. Often when attempting  online check in it will ask for her country of residency.  In that case I’ve never seen an airline online check in system handle an AP document, and thus online check in is not an option.  Assuming neither of you have elite status with the airline, I suggest she purchase priority check in so that she can get manual assistance sooner at the airport. Or just come to airport at least 4 hours before departure.    
 
She should bring her marriage certificate to cover the discrepancy between the name on her AP document and the name on her passport.  

I think your confusion is because the passport photos are required (from the instructions: You must submit one color passport-style photograph of yourself and one color passport-style photograph of the beneficiary taken within 30 days of filing this petition) but passports can also be used as proof of in-person meeting. So not technically required, but you should include copies of the passport bio page and passport stamps that corroborate that you both have met in person. Also, the petitioner can use copy of passport to establish they are a U.S. citizen. 

This is the best course of action here.  Makes it legit, so that she doesn't have to worry about being admitted or not.

Same for my husband.
