Thanks! I’ll ping them then👍👍

Count me in too 😀 I-129F December 2021 filer. AOS package sent on October 10, 2023, NOA-1 on October 13. Received RFIE for I-485 on October 23, still waiting for the letter. Btw how do you add your case to your MyUscis account? It asks for an online access code but we havent received it? It wasnt mentioned in the NO-1 either.

Hi, I’ve recently moved here with a K1 visa. I landed in the US on September 3 and we got married on September 16. We sent our AOS package on October 11. We live in Minnesota. For Thanksgiving we want to fly to El Paso, Texas to spend the holiday with my husband’s brother and his family. My husband’s brother will be moving abroad soon and we probably won’t be able to see him for a year or two. I don’t want to be apart from family but I also don’t want to risk my AOS by going that close to the US-Mexican border. Especially since we’re also going by air. My gut feeling says not to do it but I also tend to be a scaredy cat so I might also be exaggerating. So please tell me fellow visa journey members, is this a risky move?

Hi everyone! I am a prospective October filer, from K1 to AOS. We are filling out the I-485 form at the moment but we are stuck in these questions. Would appreciate your help! Part 2 Question 2 "Receipt number of underlying petition": Is this the I-129F WAC number? Part 2 Question 3 "Priority date from underlying petition": Am I supposed to put here the NOA-1 date or NOA-2 date? Part 3 Question 1 "Have you ever applied for an immigrant visa to obtain permanent resident status at a US Embassy or US Consulate abroad": Is this a Yes or No? The K1 visa is technically non-immigrant but treated like an immigrant visa, so we were confused. Thank you!

Great idea, thank you!!

That's pretty good advice, thanks! I'll just stay in unpaid leave and expedite my EAD then.

I am a K1 beneficiary and I currently work for an international company in my home country. My company also has branches in the US. They would like to continue employing me in the US and offered to put me on unpaid leave until I get my EAD. Would this be a problem? I do not want to look like I'm working until getting my EAD. To note, I'll stop working on September 1st and fly to the US on the 3rd.

How‘s interview slot hunting going for you guys? My embassy is Ankara and it’s impossible to find an interview date these days… So sad 🥲

Thanks @Bh_sarah I remember reading this somewhere but my embassy doesnt mention it specifically. I might try to contact them about it, to be on the safe side.

I lived in the US between 2018 and 2020. Do I need to obtain police certificate for the embassy interview?
