  1. That's exactly what happened at our interview last Wednesday and 24 hours later we got the approval notice on the portal. Hoping it's the same for you!
  2. Today's stats: July 30, 2025 23:15 MDT - It's been a couple of weeks due to interview prep and helping our friends prep for their interview which happened the week after ours November 2024 Filed I-485 Stats • Approved: 19,197 (+2,283) • Denied: 1,741 • FingerprintScheduled: 62 • InterviewCancelled: 571 • InterviewScheduled: 3,779 (-1438) • Processing: 15,636 (-894) • Received: 406 • Rejected: 100 • RFE: 417 • Terminated: 236 • Withdrawal: 105 • Others: 16
  3. We helped a friend do this. It happened to them as well but when we went in the portal and checked their profile, the address had been corrected.
  4. USPS Informed Delivery noticed popped this afternoon and it looks like Jaycel's card should be here on Friday! 🎉🎉
  5. Yes if they filed the I-84 on the immigrant's behalf they must file the I-865 and it has to be done on a paper form, by mail
  6. Great news! Now you know you can get what you need Keep us all updated on your journey!
  7. Since I needed Court Certified copies, I had to call the county clerk's office to find out what to do. I had to mail them a request for a certified court record for anything in my name and include a payment of $15 (I think) to do the process. I also included a self addressed express mail envelope to get it back to me.
  8. Oh sorry from your post I thought you guys had one. Then just the I-864 sponsor has to fill it out and send it in.
  9. Yes it needs to be filed and the joint sponsor needs to file the I-865 as well. It needs to be filed by mail. Here's the link to the I-865 page on the USCIS website which has all the instructions: https://www.uscis.gov/i-865
  10. I lived in CDO for a year in 2022 & 2023 and never hurt for transportation. Grab is a great option most times and it is extremely reasonable. For 2 weeks, especially with a new baby I would not risk you driving around. If you want to hire a driver to be available to you, that's also a viable option but I would suggest your Filipina be the one who hires them for the two of you. Honestly, Grab worked great for me and Jaycel that whole year. The only tough thing about Grab is when it's raining hard, there will be a delay in getting one to pick you up because that's when everyone takes taxis.
  11. You can fill it out but don't sign it until you are ready to file the whole AOS package. You can put the address that will be accurate at the time you file the AOS.
  12. Don't get ahead of yourself... wait to see what you can find with the courts and then formulate how to outline it to USCIS. Mine was actually a felony when charged - But it had nothing to do with any of the Adam Walsh Act offenses or anything violent as specified by USCIS. So it had no affect on my eligibility to be a petitioner. My best advice would be to read the questions regarding this on the I-129F as they list certain "Specified Crimes" that would preclude you from being a petitioner. Also read the instructions surrounding this in the instruction sheet very carefully. In fact I would become an A+ student of the entire instruction packet for the form.
  13. Your wife is the US Citizen? If so, did she disclose her criminal history on the I-129F Petition?
  14. This is is absolutely correct for the US Citizen petitioner with a clarification that on #2 you dig up Certified Court Records if possible and if not available you proceed to #3 and ask them to sign and seal the letters
  15. Please don't take offense, but this statement is completely inaccurate. I got an RFE from USCIS on my I-129F petition just a year ago because, while I disclosed a minor conviction I had from more than 30 years ago on the petition, I did not provide a certified court disposition for it. USCIS required that I provide a certified court disposition of the case before they would approve the I-129F. You must disclose and provide certified court dispositions for all charges on the I-129F petition filing. If the court has no record, you must provide a certified letter from the court stating that they have no record and you are instructed to give a statement about the incident, the charges and the disposition.
  16. No she was definitely a very experienced officer at least and maybe even a supervisor... She said she was approving our case that afternoon. And she did. She told us that there is a lag of 24 hours between what they do in their system and what we see in the portal. So we got our official approval yesterday at 12:30pm which would put her approving it about 40 minutes after we left her office.
  17. Congratulations!! Jaycel and I got the official status change to approved yesterday! So happy for you guys!
  18. Oh I was raised by a Navy officer and I have lived my life by the creed , "If you're on time, you're 15 minutes late." LOL Yeah we had 2 big filers full of documents plus a photo album as well. However, based on a conversation I had with a Field Office ISO and reading other people's accounts of their interviews, we had been doing monthly "Unsolicited Evidence" uploads of marital bona fides to the portal and then one big upload of pictures and our story prior to the interview. Our ISO said that doing those helped her get to know us when she reviewed our case a couple of days before the interview and she knew she only needed to ask a few basic questions.
