    Ok sir... Not one experience - Just the one I happened to mention but I will not argue with you as you have far more experience here than I. OP - Disregard my answer to you. Do not want to give you possibly bad info.

    Do not rely on the "Estimated time until your case decision:" in the My Progress tab on the USCIS website. Jaycel's EAD said 3 months right after they accepted her application. After her biometrics, it went to 40 months and then a few days later it went to 6 months. Just a few days ago it changed to 7 months and then yesterday we received her approval. I am an engineering manager for one of the largest ISPs in the country and the Estimated Time feature is one of the worst and most inaccurate parts of any website I've ever seen, both governmental and private sector. Don't let it get to you.

    HAHAHAHA Yes Jaycel has to do the same here in Colorado. Starting with her Learner's permit once we get the EAD card 😁
  4. Edward and Jaycel
    So it was about 6 days or so between approval and card produced for you?
  5. Edward and Jaycel
    Good deal! We will be praying for a swift approval for you!

    This is not correct.... a friend of Jaycel's got an RFE on her I-485 in December and two days later received approval on the I-765. Before they even had a chance to respond to the RFE.

    Submit the copy of your DS-3025 with your I-485 when you file your AOS package. This will remind them you had your medical exam abroad and are exempt from the requirement to file the I-693 with your submission. The medical exam is only relevant to the I-485 and has NO bearing on your I-765 whatsoever. Your DS-3025 says that you as a K Visa applicant voluntarily completed the vaccine requirements. USCIS doesn’t often disagree with the conclusions of the panel physician but if they do, they will just issue an RFE for a new medical and you would just go get one at that point. Again, it will have no bearing on your I-765.

    Thank you for sharing this wonderfully detailed account of your DCF! What a great guide for future applicants

    The sole approval authority for a visa rests with the Consular Officer who conducts the interview

    There are videos from immigration attorneys that you can watch to know what to expect during an interview and you can start gathering proof of a bonafide marriage to bring with you in case they schedule you for an interview. If you are going to get a Conditional Green Card, you're going to need to gather all of this evidence for the Removal of Conditions in a couple of years anyway and I find it's best to gather the evidence as you have it, put it all into one spot so that you are not scrambling to put it all together at the last minute. But that's my own need to feed my A*** Retentive nature. LOL

    Perfect way to approach it.... Unless it goes "Outside Normal Processing Times", theres nothing to do but wait
  12. Edward and Jaycel
    Ours did the same thing after the biometrics. You will not know for sure if they are going to skip the interview until they approve the case and you have the GC in hand. The "My Progress" tab is notoriously unreliable. Plan and prepare as if you are going to have to attend an interview and then be pleasantly surprised if they waive it for you.

    Ok keep us updated what they say! Best of luck 🍀🤞

    We just got our approval this morning and on the approval notice it says this: If you have not received your EAD card within this time frame, please visit https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do for instructions on how to submit an inquiry.

    In August 2024, Jaycel had her interview on a Tuesday, case status showed "Issued" on Friday and it was ready for pick up at the LBC Branch in MOA on the next Tuesday (FYI it would have been there that Monday but it was a Philippine National Holiday if I remember correctly). A girl she met at the embassy also doing a K-1 had her status go to "Issued" the next day, Wednesday, and had hers in hand on that Friday

    A B1/B2 is a tourist/business non-immigrant visa Why else would you ask about gaining a visa other than to get back to the US? Your case has so many legal pitfalls that any further discussion in this forum is pointless - You really need to discuss this with an attorney. The people in this forum are just trying to let you know that with your circumstances, you basically have zero chance of legally entering the US. Embassies / CBP will not care about your claims of abuse, coercion, malicious prosecution, etc. because they are precisely that - Claims that have not been proven in a court of law. Please, if you want to pursue this, talk to an attorney. I wish you the best of luck
  19. Edward and Jaycel
    From your original post: "What should I do? What is my chance of getting a B1/B2 visa if I apply for it?" And I will say it.... Talk to a Lawyer. About everything you discussed here
  20. Edward and Jaycel
    As the O-1 is a Non-Immigrant visa, after the interview approval and for the purposes of administrative processing, it will be "converted" to the Non-Immigrant Visa section of the consulate for the AP and Visa Issuance. To do this, it goes to them as an "Application". Per the status you indicated, they have received it and are processing it. This is the same thing that happens with K-1 Visas as they are also Non-Immigrant. Nothing out of the ordinary here
  21. Edward and Jaycel
    And for the K-1 visa you will be filling out the DS-160 not the DS-260
  22. Edward and Jaycel
    That's pretty fast! Congrats!
  23. Edward and Jaycel
    This is the worst thing you could do because then you add misrepresentation to your record. Do not ever lie or omit information in order to obtain a visa/immigration benefit.
  24. Edward and Jaycel
    We did not have an engagement ceremony, just a private proposal and dinner afterwards which we sent photos of.
  25. Edward and Jaycel
    Yes... for their security/background checks to be completed, they cannot rely on the Pakistani Government so the AP for that process takes a really long time
