Are you asking about the NVC or the USCIS?

Diana

Either! I have not had any luck in talking to someone through either the National Customer Service Center or the NVC.

Has anyone ever had any luck in speaking to an actual person through the NCSC phone line?

No, my husband is a US citizen.

Did you follow the VJ AOS guide? Include prof of US Citizenship, like copy of birth cert, or passport?

Yes, we followed all of the guidelines and submitted all supporting documents eg. showing proof of citizenship).

No, my husband is a US citizen.

Hello all I need your help.

My husband and I filed the I-130 and I-485 packets mid-November. I am adjusting my status from an F-1 visa. I sent the forms in at the same time but in different packets. The instructions said that if filing concurently then send packets to the USCIS Lockbox facility in Chicago.

My problem is that I received a rejection notice for the I-130 for the following reason: "This BCIS location can only process I-130 applications that are submitted with Form I-485 when a visa number is immediately available for the beneficiary's immigration category. Please file your form I-130 at the BCIS Service Center with jurisdiction over your place of residence."

Next step is that I re-send my packet to the Chicago office (my local office). Does it now matter that my I-485 and I-130 are separated and perhaps processed at different bureaus? Should I expect more problems/difficulties in the near future because of this?

Thanks in advance!!

ooops, I did post on the wrong board! My apologies

I entered the US on an F-1 student visa

Hello All,

I am a Canadian citizen that has been in the US for 6 years on and F-1 student visa. I married an American citizen in August. I am almost done with my studies and am wondering what to do next. My student visa does not expire for several years even though I will have completed my studies. I know I need to file an I-130 but can I apply for an adjustement of status while on F-1? Will I be able to remain in the US on my student visa even if I am no longer a student?

Thanks for you help
