No, you will need to file a i751 application within 90-days of the 2nd anniversary of the issuance of the conditional green card (The date legal permanent residency started).

You should receive a conditional green card soon, it will have a 2 year expiration date on it, you should file the i751 request to remove conditions for your LPR within 90 days of the expiration date on the CGC you should receive soon.

Things at USCIS are seriously delayed during COVID now days hopefully you will get the green card soon. Check you case with USCIS on the status of your case; sometime green cards get lost in the mail or is sent back to USCIS.

Go to USCIS website to check on your case.

Thanks a lot. Checked the status, card isn't issued yet.

My wife entered US under CR-1 status earlier in Feb this year. She hasn't received her green card yet, but on the visa the expiration date is July 11, 2021. Is that the date when conditional residency expires, and using the 90 day rule we can file 751 on or after April 12th? Or should we wait for physical green card to arrive and that may have a separate conditional residency expiry date?

Thank for any help!

I don't think it means no IR1/CR1 Visas, it means that now diversity visas will also prioritized like IR1 /CR1 visas.

Nope, read that twitter thread, it explicitly mentions embassies are instructed to give DV higher priority, mainly because they only have 2-3 weeks to wrap this all up.

I see. That could be an explanation. Still a lot of touches 8 days in a row. Maybe they just now initiating background checks?!

I had a few daily date changes before finally getting the approval notice in there. You are nearly there.

Nepal was just starting back doing IR1/CR1 interviews, but then this DV ruling from Judge means no interviews in Sep. Whatever happened to giving priority to family members

Hey guys,

 

A quick question.

We received an email this morning from the NVC about a missing document but the message on the portal is not opening.

Should I call them to resolve this issue?

 

Thanks

 

Click on the msg and wait for 30 secs to a minute, it should open, esp in off hours.

Kathmandu Embassy is doing Interview for Cr1.  What is your reason for your expedite. I m trying to give my shot as well.

Ya they are only handling cancelled interviews right now, hopefully they will open up fully soon. No harm in trying, which is why I did it as well, but highly unlikely they will approve unless you've some valid medical emergency with proofs. KTM embassy is tough to get a expedite through.

What were your reasons?
 

What specifically did they write to you?

just the emotional toll thing and nvc case delay. they said it wouldn't be fair to other applicants and denied.

knew it was a long shot, but my expedite was denied by the embassy today. 😞

I received the "Case FE Review note"  but the documents were all changed to ACCEPTED. Am I missing something or is this supposed to say "DOCUMENTARY QUALIFIED". The email we received also didn't state that we will be moved to a consulate or anything of that sort. 

 

In messages: Obviously we cannot open it because of the CEAC website and its issues. 

 

On the Main Page: 

You can open the msg, just click on it and wait for 30secs to a minute for it to open. Also try in off hours, like early morning or at night.

So I was approved by USCIS on May 8th and they still dont' have my case number at the NVC yet, They said they received the case on June 30th from USCIS but something is wrong. They said it's on "administrative hold" as they don't know where the problem is. Anybody else have this issue? It's beyond frustrating. 

Mine was received on 30th as well, but case number in mid july. I just checked the processing times, and it's still stick at June 30th, seems like its stuck there for last 3 weeks.

Current case creation time frame: As of 27-JUL-2020, we are working on cases that were received from USCIS on 30-JUN-2020.

An interview is just a formality, in order to finish the visa application. The fact we were expedited has no weight in the likelihood a consular Officer will approve or deny the visa. 
 

my husband, a US federal employee earning a good wage and above the 125% poverty level with full health insurance, for all three of us, significant Australian savings, and my work history and education were not enough. They wanted a joint sponsor. If we can’t get a joint sponsor it will be a denial based on public charge. 
 

they are cracking down on the public charge rule, even for Australians. Especially given that now 40 million Americans are now unemployed due to covid. The assumption is that an immigrant now entering the US will effectively be relying solely on their petitioning spouse to survive given the current economic climate. 
 

we went in fully prepared, all tax history, all payslips. Evidence of our savings, the public charge form (mainly as a back up as advised by VJ) and  evidence  of my education and work history and it was not enough. I graduate in 8 weeks and will have 1 bachelors degree and next November I’ll have my second, a bachelor of laws. I currently work for the Victorian state government too - so good solid work history. 
 

my advice to all Australians going in, if

your spouse/petitioner earns OVER 250% (yes,250 not 125) of the federal poverty guidelines (which for 2 people is $43k) you will face less scrutiny. If it’s between 125-250, as we were, your case will be HIGHLY scrutinised. Expect a denial. I was not the only denial that day. I heard 2 denials, 1 approval. 

Not sure if you saw this, hot off the press. Might be worth considering asking embassy to re-consider based on this ruling.

Dear friends,

 

Is anyone waiting with a PD earlier than May 2019? My application was originally filed at Nebraska, but transferred to Vermont in March 2020. I already confirmed that I’m eligible to file for “out of normal processing times (ONPT)” request.

 

I filed the ONPT request, and didn’t receive any useful information - just a “waiting to be assigned to an officer” response. What’s the next logical step? Ombudsman complaint? Congressman query? Lawsuit?
 

I have a feeling they’re not going to budge without proactive action.

 

Looking for ideas ...

 

Thanks

I would definitely get congressman involved. They have separate department/individuals that deal with USCIS/immigration issues, at least that's what I found when I contacted my local congressman for some different reason.

Talked to NVC and confirmed the case was DQ'ed indeed, even though I haven't gotten explicit email yet.

Congrats.  Was this your first time submission of Docs to NVC or any additional Docs ? 

submitted everything the night before on Monday. Had to resubmit tax return(1040) for 2019 in morning since my reasoning for why 2019 tax transcript was missing wasn't enough I guess.

Submitted all docs last night and this morning the ceac inbox shows DOCUMENTARILY QUALIFIED.

So this is DQ? right, within 24 hrs? haven't got any email yet

My case is in a similar situation to yours (case approved but no welcome letter, NVC didn't receive it until June 30, waiting more than 50 days now).  I know there are a few others floating around who have been dealing with this as well.  

 

I haven't gotten any email yet but you finally getting yours is a very good sign, hope to get mine in the next day or two as well.  🤞

Sounds like uscis did a bulk transfer all of our cases on June 30th. You should get sth this week hopefully.

Finally got case creation email last night, roughly 50 days after initial approval. fees paid.
