Edward and Jaycel

I don’t know under what category she was originally issued her EAD, but if she has a pending I-485 she should be eligible for an EAD under filing category c9 shouldn’t she? That’s the category all pending Adjustment of Status applicants use to get an EAD

Entry back into the US is not guaranteed with Advanced Parole… it is up to the discretion of the Customs and Border Protection officer who you go to at passport control if they believe you are admissible

You said you are awaiting the AOS process? Did your husband petition you and your daughter on K-1/K-2 and you entered the US on those visas, married your husband and now are adjusting status? If so then you cannot get an I-551 stamp

Woo Hoo!! 🎉

My fiancée and I were not able to see each other at all between the time I filed and when she had her interview. Just save screen grabs of your chats and video calls to put into a "Proof of Continuing Relationship" document that she can print out and bring with her to the interview in case they want to see something. Filling out your timeline will help the members here help you with embassy specific tendencies and such. Jaycel's interview was in Manila and it was not an issue. She brought that proff of continuing relationship document with her but they never asked to see it.

Yes keep trying... I'm getting the 503 error also but the EMMA chat won't work here. That's for USCIS and the DS160 Photo Upload Tool is State Department

DO NOT worry about the "valid until" date on the approval notice.... if you are unable to get an interview until after that date, you can still attend the interview and if approved, the Consular Officer conducting the interview will automatically extend the validity date of the notice.

I believe so or you can at least upload a letter on the portal after you submit the application. I'll tag @OldUser who just recently applied for the N-400

Ok good. For the N-400 application, include a cover letter indicating you have a pending I-751, specify the receipt number and request a combo interview

Do you plan to apply for the N-400 while the I-751 is pending? If so then this is correctable at the interview (assuming you request and get a combo interview) but I would definitely disclose it on the N-400.

Has your I-751 been approved yet?

Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing the details with the community!!

The problem with going the email route is that NVC will not give you your case number if you inquire that way. The public inquiry form is the only route by which they will respond with your case number. Good luck to you both!

There you go... give it a few weeks and then make another inquiry via the public inquiry form to NVC. I will give you the advice that I give everyone when communicating with the NVC. In the next request you send NVC, after you ask them for the case number, ask them to update the petitioner and beneficiary email addresses. Phrase it something like this: "Also please update the email addresses for this case as follows: Petitioner email address: xxxxx@mail.com Beneficiary email address: xxxxx@mail.com" Sometimes in the data entry of the I-129F petition into the Department of State systems, there can be typos, transcription, etc. errors. This will ensure that they have the right email addresses on file. I did this for me and Jaycel and both of us got every email along the way from NVC and the embassy all the way through the instructions on how to handle the yellow packet after her visa was issued. Best of luck to you both!

I'm sorry if I gave the impression that Jaycel had to have her visa re-issued - She did not. I was just looking through all the correspondence we received from the embassy to find anything that mentioned visa reissuance in case you did not have it.

This is what Jaycel got from the embassy in Manila after her visa was issued regarding replacement visa. Don't know if it will help but I'll share anything I can find: REPLACEMENT VISA To request a replacement visa, the passport with the expired visa and the packet must be sent to the U.S. Embassy. It should include a signed letter explaining the reason for the inability to use the visa before its expiration and the intended travel date if a replacement visa is approved. An applicant approved for a replacement visa will be required to update expired documents and pay the applicable fees anew.

Ok sorry to hear that. Wanted to make sure you tried that avenue.

Have you tried making an inquiry here? https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visa-inquiry-form/ And yes I believe you will have to pay the visa fee again but I'm not 100% on that
