  1. Agreed, there's not much control one has over embassies etc. Once the window of opportunity is given, it's best to make use of it. New administration, change in priorities may slow everything down in 2025.
  2. Don't worry too much! Just because biometrics are not done, doesn't mean your case will go slower. For example, when I filed I-751, I got biometrics reused quickly. Others waited a year with "Case Received" status. Majority if those folks got prioritized and decided 2-3 months before folks in my block who had biometrics done earlier.
  3. These estimates mean nothing. They are ridiculously inaccurate across different types of cases. Just to give you some context: I've seen somebody reporting estimate showing 7 month to decision on N-400 on the day they were taking oath. The other person saw "Your case is taking longer than expected" 9 days after filing their case (and got worried about it). As one VJ speculated, these were designed to reduce number of calls to USCIS asking what's going on with their case and how far they're from approval. Essentially, it just keeps you busy by showing random stuff here and there. I'm not saying this is true purpose of myProgress, but it appears to be functioning this way today.
  4. This is normal. Many people have the same problem. The estimate on MyProgress tab is not something you can trust or rely on. It shows inaccurate data and it has outages (disappears) from time to time. There's nothing to worry about. If you filed in June, you're under normal processing times. West Palm Beach shows 7.5 months for most of cases. I'd say February - March 2025 is when you'll get your case decided unless everything will slow down under new administration.
  5. Most likely you'll hear after holidays. Good luck!
  6. 8-10 weeks is normal to hear from USCIS after sending packet. Do you have proof of delivery? If yes, then you just have to wait.
  7. This is normal. Check later. Sometimes this message gets generated without any action taken. Sometimes, it's a delayed notification of action.
  8. 15 months for I-130 approval
  9. I presume you got two different I-485 applications - one for spouse and one for stepdaughter. I also presume you got two separate RFEs for each one of them. You need to send two separate RFE replies for each case. If joint sponsor's income is good to support both - great, otherwise you may need two different joint sponsors.
  10. Which citizenship? LPRs are not US citizens, it would be a painful mistake to call yourself US citizen when only LPR. CBP cannot revoke or demand to renounce any other foreign citizenships.
  11. Have you tried https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init?
  12. I do not have compelling evidence that K3 speed up anything. Neither lawyer and others who observed immigration for years. It simply doesn't make sense that USCIS is going to drop everything and process somebody faster just because a free form was filed for them. It's not in manuals, it's not in policies. And there's no proven record of it. Some cases get approved super fast without K-3s, expedites or anything special. Some just get lucky.
  13. Good luck! Did you get biometrics reused?
  14. Sadly, no. It's also to do with how busy the office is and how officer handles workloads. Each case is unique too.
  15. The normal is an average. Actual cases can take few months less or few months more. K3 is an urban myth. If anything, it takes away time USCIS could use to adjudicate more I-130 instead of opening K3 packet and and putting it in trash can.
  16. You should absolutely attend interview when you receive interview letter.
  17. MyProgress tab is very unreliable. Neither estimates nor current steps can be trusted. Just keep checking online account and wait for physical interview letter.
  18. I'll leave it at that for now, until we learn anything else:
  19. Possible, but then they're violating the law flying over residential areas at night. Looks like two amateurs got arrested, probably too curious. I hope it's just US government conducting some tests. Hopefully, we'll learn sometime.
  20. Many have the same questions and no answers right now.
  21. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14193771/Drone-crisis-sightings-California-New-Jersey-states.html Apologies if posted already elsewhere on VJ
  22. I-485 is for immigrant to complete, I-864 for US citizen sponsor. No, you don't have to and can't list primary house in I-864 assets. Use your income.
  23. If your house is the primary residence, you cannot use it as an asset for I-864
  24. I don't believe it does. You mean I-864 asks for this information?
