    I've never seen an RFE that looked like that.... Is that the all you received?

    Consular Officers don't make mistakes - They make brand new, never heard of policies 😐

    Fingers crossed! When is your biometrics appointment? Keep us updated!
  4. Edward and Jaycel
    Yes - Usually the same day as the biometrics, the case status for the AOS and the EAD will change to "Case is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS". Then within a couple of weeks, your EAD should get approved. I've seen timelines where it gets approved one or two days after the biometrics. Ours took almost exactly 2 weeks.

    I would be calling, asking to talk to supervisors every hour, maybe even going to the location and impressing upon them that you have a hard deadline for receipt of the I-693 or your application to USCIS will be denied. I would be the Royal pain in their A** until they gave me what I paid for

    Yes... You can manage it. And it WILL be worth whatever hurdles you have to jump to be with your husband here legally with no worries. As others have said, this is likely not a DIY. If you are going to spend the $$ on an attorney, do yourself a favor... carefully research and find yourself a reputable lawyer that does nothing but immigration law and preferably that specializes in family based immigration. Wish you the best and please update the thread, as pertinent, so that others can learn from your experience

    I know the Philippine Consulate in San Francico allows self-solemnized marriages from Colorado as long as you have the marriage certificate apostilied by the Colorado Secretary of State. I'm surprised the NY Consulate doesn't provide for that.

    When I made this comment I was under the impression that your most recent trip with the visa that expired in 9/2024 was the only time you overstayed your visa. My apologies if this caused any confusion but I did not know you had overstayed previously, departed and re-entered.

    USCIS will try to deposit a check a 2nd time if it is returned for insufficient funds the first time. If a credit card fails, USCIS will NOT retry it and will reject the submission
  10. Edward and Jaycel
    Do you mean self-solemnized? Do you have a marriage certificate filed with a public authority (County Clerk/Recorder, Probate Court, etc.)?
  11. Edward and Jaycel
    No is the correct response
  12. Edward and Jaycel
    @Jayne to be clear, this last B2 visa that expired 9/24/2024 is the first time you overstayed one of your visas? All the other times you came to the US, you abided by the expiration dates on your visas and departed on-time?
  13. Edward and Jaycel
    Everything I've read says that in most cases they do not make a decision on office closings/ceremony cancellations until the night before or the morning of.
  14. Edward and Jaycel
    Yes from her first post
  15. Edward and Jaycel
    Visa overstays are forgiven for immediate relatives of US Citizens are they not?
  16. Edward and Jaycel
    This is correct for the SF Consulate... Each Consulate has its own rules so I would make sure yours is the same. Check their website. Once the ROM is filed with the Consulate and they accept it, stamp it and register it, they will send it to the DFA office which will then transmit the ROM to PSA. So in about 4-6 months after the Consulate processes it, you should be able to order your marriage certificate online from the PSA website

    They send the rejected packets back to you.... Usually they include a cover sheet that says to include it with your resubmission from what I've read. @KoreaninHawaii did yours have that sheet that said to put it on top of the resubmission?

    Good luck and best wishes!! 🎉

    Jaycel didn't start applying until her I-765 showed as "Card Produced" on the case status. She got a job within a couple of weeks of when she started applying and they definitely needed her SS Card and the EAD when she went for her onboarding.
  20. Edward and Jaycel
    Yeah I was too and the lady at the SSA office was of no help as to why I had to go in.... Naturally
  21. Edward and Jaycel
    You can ask to chat with a live agent from the Emma chat
  22. Edward and Jaycel
    July filers getting a good amount of approvals over the last week
  23. Edward and Jaycel
  24. Edward and Jaycel
    Do you mean Ask Emma Chat on USCIS?
  25. Edward and Jaycel
    It should not cause any issues - The Consular Officer may ask and you can just tell him that you had yuour tax return info for 2024 available and had a higher income so you filled out a new form.
