Edward and Jaycel

USCIS site is down for maintenance until midnight Eastern Time

At this point the Adjustment of Status review is completed and approved and the Green Card is on its way according to your status update. No reason to worry over it affecting the application. It says case closed on the status because as far as USCIS is concerned, your spouse ment all the requirements to adjust status, approved it and printed the green card. Congratulations!

Woo Hoo!! 🎉

I don't know for sure.... Sorry I don't have any data on it

Awesome news!!

Hmmmm I haven't seen any timelines around for a standalone I-131. I know when it's part of an AOS package, the biometrics usually comes 4-8 weeks after receipt of the applications

Was this a standalone application or as part of an AOS package?

Yeah ours says 15 months now for the I-485

Yes this will be what you need. This is what Jaycel printed and brought to her interview 😊

No, this is saying you have to have completed a DS-260 application. You only need to bring the confirmation page with the barcode on it with you.

When you scheduled your interview appointment on the US Travel Docs website did it not provide you with a confirmation letter to download?

Yeah definitely.... And now it's back on the I-485 LOL The "My Progress" tab on Jaycel's I-765 was at 3 months before the biometrics appointment, right after the biometrics it went to 40 months for a week and then went to 7 months for a few days. Then 3 days before she got her approval it went to 14 months.... 🤣

Just checked ours... My Progress tab is gone for us too. Probably just a portal glitch

Just be aware, the Philippine Consulate in San Francisco requires the Utah Online Marriage Certificate to be apostilled by the Lt. Governor of Utah in order to file the ROM

With the box checked and the blanket waiver code assigned to the COVID vaccine part of your DS-3025, that means your vaccinations are considered complete for the purposes of your AOS. The C3 code indicates the vaccine is contraindicated by the physician due to allergic reaction. Very rarely do USCIS Adjudication Officers overrule a physician on a medical decision. They will on procedural issues or incomplete paperwork but rarely on strictly medical judgement calls like vaccine contraindications. Just send a copy of your DS-3025 as supporting evidence along with your I-485 when you file. As far as filing the AOS within the 90 days, there is nothing that says you have to - HOWEVER if you do not file within the 90 days, once you hit day 91, you are out of status. It's all about your risk tolerance, especially in light of the incoming administration's promise to crack down on those in the country unlawfully. If you file the I-485 and have the receipt number, you are then in a period of "Authorized Stay" until it is adjudicated. I would highly recommend filing before your 90 days has passed.

This is another big reason I wish Jaycel and I had got married in the Philippines 😢

Apologies... Didn't know I wasn't allowed to share that site

As far as proving current income - I included the most recent 6 months of my paystubs and a letter from my employer detailing my job title, my salary, my start date and that I am a full-time, regular (not contract) employee. I know some on here say you don't need 6 months of pay stubs but I went by the instructions for Form I-864 which says 6 months and an employer letter to support your current income claim. I gave them all that and we have not received an RFE (yet!) and we filed on November 18th. I would think they would have RFE'd us already if there was a deficiency in the I-864.

You should NOT have listed your wife in Part 4 Item 4 as in item 1 you are accounting for her as the principal immigrant listed in Part 3. You would NOT list your mother in Part 4 either as you already filed an I-864EZ for her. You would just list her in Part 5, Item 6 to properly calculate household size

If it's just the three of you, according to USCIS poverty guidelines, 125% for household size of 3 is $32,275 so you would need to make more than that. Did you include proof of current income? (Paystubs, employer letter)

When did you file the AOS? If you filled out an affidavit of support for your mother then yes you would consider her part of your household size. Did you list her on the I-864 that you filed for your wife as another immigrant that you have sponsored?

No Idea... We were both never married previously when Jaycel went for her K-1 Visa.

There is no email for the online access code but you can go on "Ask-Emma" on uscis.gov and get a live agent and ask them to give you your online access code. Some will and some won't so keep trying if the first agent you get does not give it to you. It took us a couple of tries to get an agent to give it to us.

Go to this website and put in your receipt number and it will show you the stats for your receipt block Yes thank you! We're very relieved... She was going stir-crazy. LOL

EAD Card received yesterday, 01/18/2025! 😁
