We filed end of June and we notified USCIS end of Aug thru our attorney before we left the country.

Hi there. I’ve tried to get answers to this via the forum and elsewhere to no avail. We had to switch our application to consular filing in Bogota two months after originally filing in the US. We had to care for my wife’s dying (now deceased) father. We are five months into the process and used a US lawyer. I am trying to find benchmarks for dates as we are renting out our house etc and trying not to have to sit by the phone waiting for our interview. What exact things will we be notified of? Will we get notification once the case is approved and sent down here and how much notice will we get before our interview date? Weeks? Months? Days? Will we receive ANY other notifications? Thanks!

Our lawyer sent letters to the USCIS. She said it is okay if our application hasn’t been accepted yet.

Hi there, My wife’s parents were very ill so we switched our green card process from in the US to the consular process in Colombia. Our US lawyer insists we don’t need to change our address but online it says we must. How will the consulate notify us of an interview? She received her EAD two months ago and our lawyer says we will get no notification of our letter telling them we are switching. Only an interview notification. But how will they notify us? thanks!

Hi there, This seems like an obscure question. We were married in May of 2023 and my wife has been on a student visa several times here in the US. We filed for a change of status in June and she already has done her biometrics. Sadly, her father was just diagnosed with cancer in Colombia. It might be short and it might be long but it’s terminal. With the wait times here seemingly endless (we have an attorney), is it even possible to get permission to leave and re-apply or shift her app to her home country of Colombia while caring for him? Are there any options others than starting over? thanks!
