@ToastedMuffin I see you FO was SLC , Utah , just wondering did you approval come from SLC or another FO? We're also SLC but both our i-130 and i-485 have been transferred to the Chicago FO

so I have been online with an agent through Emma , asking about my case , she said the following : Your case is currently processing with the Salt Lake Field Office . the case shows interview was waived on 09/28/2022. This means an interview will not be required for the case to be adjudicated. Also, the case is under review at this time and the case shows last reviewed on 10/25/2022. Does this mean they won't call me for an interview or will that change? Is my case closer to approval if they did not require an interview?

We filed our i-130 online 20 Aug. 21online , it was transferred from Nebraska to Texas where it's been fir over a year , today my husband checked online again and according to the agent it's been transferred to NBC . We filed out i-485 by mail 12 Oct. 21 it's still at NBC . What is the next step? Does it mean anything that the case has been transferred to NBC?? Or am I just wishful thinking?

@veronicabiondi you can immigrate to the US with a husband in prison , it has been done by a few people on this site and others who are not. There was a women from France who immigranted to the US with her husband on death row so it's not impossible. As for the interview ,USCIS policy Manuel chapter 5 - interview guidelines clearly stated the interview can be waived for incarcerated petitioners. If you look up @Mattelo on this site you will see she successfully received her green card with a husband who has a life sentence. If you can prove your marriage is valid , you obviously can because you have the evidence to show , you can prove you will not need government assistance and or have joint sponsor who meets the requirements there is NO reason for your green card to be denied. @Jill Mackie mentioned on this post , uploaded 400+ pages of evidence of an 7 year relationship. That's longer most people who have a "normal marriage" stay married for . You could easily complete the application yourself without wasting money on an attorney , most of them are clueless when it comes to cases that are out of the norm. It can be done , it has been done , so you should be just fine. Good luck and don't listen to those who judge , it's nobody's business but yours.

Ridiculous!!!

Thank you , it's only took 8 months to get 🙄. I just wish they would streamline the process and quit requiring all this evidence to prove your marriage is real and then still insting on interviews, maybe that would cut a lot of the processing time down. I hope we see almw movement, just some, right now I'm seeing employement GC being approved faster than family applications. Far too complicated.

Terribly frustrating, I only found out it was at Texas after my husband chatted to Emma . I got my EAD and AP in June's so obviously all my background checks are completed. I don't understand why they are taking so long to approve i-130's . Processing times for Texas say 11.5 months , I'm already passed that . Hopefully we all hear some good news soon.

hello , are there any AOS concurrent August 21 filers who've had their I-130 approved? my PD is 20 August 21 , filed online. Was at Nebraska but moved to Texas where it been sitting for almost a year with no update .

It's very frustrating, I obviously passed background checks because both my EAD and AP we're approved. No, I think that may have been another member.

Not the case for me . I filed I-130 online and paper I-485 , one year later , i'm still waiting on my I-130 to be approved

Thank you , they are both at NBC now . I-130 was in Texas for a year 🤬

I hope that's true for me too , I hope they take the i-130 date as mine is concurrent filing and hopefully I get an interview sooner . Thanks for answering my question

Thank you , does this add extra time though? The local field takes 16 months to process AOS , is this going to be another 16 months of waiting ?

can some please explain how the AOS processing thing works please? My husband filed an I-130 online in August 2022. We then filed the rest of the package by mail in October 2021. The I-130 was transferred to the Texas Service Centre where it has been for a year , today we checked with Emma online chat and we we're told that the I-130 has been transferred to NBC where the I-485 is. Does this mean our case is close to an interview or adjudication since its already been sitting for almost a year at Texas ? I've not received an kind of notification of approval or transfer. My EAD and AP were approved in June. thanks

It's so frustrating, it's been sitting at Texas Service centre for almost a year .
