  1. You can chat with a Live Agent Monday - Friday. If the status doesn’t change Monday morning, inquire directly with an agent who will update you.
  2. Should be available Monday. Otherwise you can use the Emma chat tool and an agent will give you the update.
  3. My cleaning lady, originally from Nicaragua, is also in deportation proceedings and received the same documentation when she crossed the border in January. She hired a lawyer, and is fighting it in court - had her first court date (out of three) on April 22nd. It is quite a drawn out process.
  4. This happened to a few of us last year: The embassy requires you to email a copy of the DS160 Confirmation Page which contains a barcode. Once they receive it and approve it, they will unlock the functionality for you to pay and schedule an appointment. You can either pay with credit card (which is what I did) or via local bank transfer. The CC payment was approved immediately, but bank transfers take 2-3 days. DM me if you have any other questions!
  5. Congrats Lara! did you ever receive a tracking number or just was delivered to you without prior information?
  6. Absolutely agree with CR-1 versus K-1 Route. Although the CR-1 will take slightly longer (a negligible amount), you are saving so much time, money, and stress at the end of the day by doing the CR-1. I don't regret doing the K-1 route, as it was the right thing for us to do at the time, but certainly wouldn't recommend it to others based off of my experience.
  7. First you will receive a copy of the Approval Notice in the mail, followed by the physical EAD Card with I-512 Endorsement. This is indeed the combo card, as it serves two purposes. Disregard the case timeline on the website.
  8. I-131 now showing "Case Closed" on our end, which should mean that a Combo Card Notice will be issued in the coming days.
  9. Still waiting here as well. Case status changed today from “longer than usual” to “2 weeks until status change”. Keep in mind that the status info doesn’t mean anything, so take it with a grain of salt.
  10. My mistake - Chicago National Office. I was under the impression that the I-131's and I-765's are processed in the location of where the original application was sent to (Chicago in my case). All clear now. Thank you.
  11. Hello all - My question relates to whether receiving an RFE changes the USCIS Office of where I-485's, I-131's, and I-765's are processed. I filed my I-485 Package on February 7, 2024 and shortly thereafter received an RFIE on February 14. I promptly responded and sent the documentation to the mailing address indicated in the letter - USCIS National Benefit Center, Lee Summit, MO. Does this indicate that my applications will no longer be processed at the Chicago Service Center (which has much shorter processing windows), and will now be processed at the NBC Missouri Service Center (which has much longer processing windows)? I noticed that a vast majority of I-765's are approved the next day after biometrics for filers from the Chicago Service Center, but we are still waiting close to one month after the bio appointment. Any insight is appreciated!
  12. It sometimes takes slightly in excess of a month to receive notification of receipt and subsequent Notice of Action I-797s. I wouldn’t be too alarmed at this juncture - however you can follow up using the Emma Chat or by calling after 30 days from February 25.
  13. I-131 Advanced Parole does not require biometrics - it is solely an approval or denial. Although the system indicates it is required, that is not the case and will continue to show that until the AP is approved, or your GC is approved.
