Hello friends! First, I just wanted to thanks in advance to this lovely community 💜 A little about my status: I am currently working abroad since Feb 2023 until Feb 2024 as a deployed delegate for an US company. I'm permanent resident (conditional, based marriage) since March this year. I got it while overseas. My issue!: I'll be back to the USA next week, and will stay there for 5-6 weeks (until biometrics) to apply for the reentry permit but was hoping someone could provide advice if that is necessary because I will only be abroad for 11 months (as LPR) when my work contract ends, should I still apply for reentry? I asked USCIS agent and told me that estimated processing times is 17 months, so I'm worried 😕 maybe I can extend my contract but definitely not enough to cover all the months, and, overall, I have a conditional LPR, 2 years, so I have to be back before March 2025... If I decide to return to the USA, let's say in March - April 2024, with a pending reentry application, would I be ok? Thanks in advance! Michelle

I called them and the receptionist told me that the doctor can't do it because the form version is different now and I have to be there to take the extra vaccines that now they are required and sign again - and I'm overseas 🙂

Hi everyone! I would like some advice, my envelope for the 693 has some scratches because my dog the envelope has two parts that is broke/open, but these are no more than 3 centimeters for one and 1 cm for the other one. Is this going to be a problem? USCIS can reject our form for this reason? We don't know if sending in that way o put it some tape, since the scratch is not too obvious but enough to be notice. Thanks in advance

Thanks for your answer! and yes, I have exceeded the average time (1 year), I called several times to expedite my case based on it, but they do nothing! even we are still waiting for the call from a officer but it have been 2 weeks and no calls at all. We receveid an RFE in our 130 and we sent it to them in February 22', that could be a reason why they are taking extra time?

Hi! What does mean DQ ? I'm still waiting for the approval of my 130, I sent it in June 21'!! It's been a long time since then... What did you resubmit? Thank you!

Thank you so much for your reply!! I was wondering if getting a work authorization in Hungary while in AOS will work against me during the final USCIS interview/decision to get residency here (?)

Hi! Hope anyone can help me! I get a job offer to work based in Budapest with the American Red Cross as delegate to response the Ukrain situation. My inmigration situation is: - I am waiting for the final interview to get the permanent resident (based on marriage with a US citizen), I started my case in October 2021. - I have work & travel authorization & SSN I call different times to USCIS and I get different responses, one of them is that since I'm not a LPR yet I can travel outside until the expiration date of my I-131 (September 23') and then when I get the residence I would apply for the reentry because I'll be out more than 6 months. I don't know what to do I really want this job, I didn't expected that this was so complicated and I have a call with the Red Cross soon to clarify my situation. Any advice? Ps. I also want to know if because it is an humanitarian situation USCIS/CBP will be kinder/faster with my case (?) Thanks in advance.

Hi! The USCIS estimate timeline for Potomac is 1 year (I-130), a lawyer friend told me if a case don't get response after that you can write them based of their website information to push your case. I'll do that, on June 24 it'll be a year for me...

Thanks for your response! I also get RFE in my 130 in November (I didn't sign bcs I was overseas at that time). Your case make me have hope that my case is going to be approve soon!!

I'm so happy reading all this approvals! Did you got RFE on your 130? Thanks!

Thank you very much for answering! I'm ready for my piercing!!

Hello! I want to get a piercing (nostril) but I'm not sure if I'll need one more photo to force me to take it off (?)... I already had the biometrics appointment and also the photo when I went to take the written test for my driver's license, so I'm not sure if another photo is coming any time soon in this process to migrate to the US? Thanks in advance!
