  1. SCOPS. 80% of cases were completed in 17.5 Months
  2. Another Jan. 2026 filer got an interview scheduled for June 4th. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=423867
  3. In the end, it won't matter, right? For immediate relatives, overstays, no matter how long, are forgiven. The only risk I can think of is this administration could detain them and put them in detention until their I-485 is adjudicated. But, that risk is also there if they do nothing. So, IMHO, they should file right away, ideally with an attorney experienced in deportation if they can afford it. Or, if they can't afford it, at least have such an attorney identified so they can call right away if they are detained.
  4. OP said visit visa so we should assume with inspection but the question is do they have proof of that? It was a long time ago.
  5. What day last week if you don't mind? And, what's your Field Office? Very happy for you. I think you're the first in our little group.
  6. It may be due to this. AILA recently released a practice alert. There's some videos on YouTube where lawyers discuss. We can't read because you have to be an AILA member. "Practice Alert: New Vetting Process at USCIS likely Resulting in a “Hold” on Many Adjudications AILA alerts members that reports of adjudication holds at USCIS are likely related to a new security vetting process effective Apr 27, 2026, requiring many pending cases to resubmit fingerprints. Timing and scope of the hold remain unclear." https://www.youtube.com/live/IDVuMbp6RqI?si=fXT_lgvFIqGcHZvQ
  7. I can't speak to that reporting. I didn't have time to read it. But there was a study from the Libertarian CATO Institute regarding this. I suspect this article is an uninformed journalists attempt to piggyback off their study. The collision between USCIS and ICE to purposefully delay adjudications so ICE can arrest refugees, who never broke any laws like asylees, is particularly horrible. https://www.cato.org/blog/uscis-cut-green-card-approvals-half-help-ice-arrest-legal-immigrants
  8. Consider getting Global Entry. CBP could still ask you the same things but it is much less likely. My wife travels a ton and she's never had a problem.
  9. She can do whatever she wants. I don't understand what the issue is. Her OCI has nothing to do with this. She can get an OCI of her own once she is a US citizen. It seems to me that it comes down to whether or not she can pass the citizenship test.
  10. Have you thought about filing Mandamus? It'll be expensive but it is the only thing sure to get you results. I saw a Facebook video of Curtis Morrison saying he has filed as soon as 3 months after filing N-400.
  11. Send an inquiry like stated above and you can also contact Congressman, or just wait, or file a mandamus (will cost you a $3,000-$7,000) https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F772699819012600%2F
  12. I've heard of several people withdraw their petitions on social media. And, many who did it then had huge regrets. If you change your mind, you'll have to refile and wait all over again. I would only do such a thing if divorce was a certainty. Doing nothing or just waiting and seeing how things pan out is a perfectly reasonable option.
  13. Isn't that when you don't check in once a year or fail to respond to NVC notices? Did any of those items happen? If this is a real case and somehow your timeline is legit, your USC petitioner will have to do a mandamus lawsuit.
  14. I did see some January filers get interviews already in a Facebook group. I think a couple December filers got interviews too. None were from my FO.
  15. I suggest you seek out a South Africa focused group on Facebook or Telegram or WhatsApp.
