Thanks for the response. How did you find out that your case got transferred to CSC? I went onto the USCIS website for a status update and it said that my case status could not be found.

I've heard that people didn't get online info updated and still getting all the standard mail. but never heard "case could not be found". you might wanna call that 800 number just to make sure.

do we have to rebring things we have submitted before like the affidavit of support+papers from sponsor and joint sponsor? Or just birth certificate marriage certificate and evidence of bona fide relationship? aaargh!

I just can't wait for this sh*** to be over!!!

better ready (overkill) than sorry

1. NO

2. it's pretty good.

3 & 4: the doctor needs to be a civil surgeon, and USCIS has a list of all the civil surgeon on their website.

Having a baby is NOT a problem BUT a big PLUS if you haven't been interviewed yet.

ur legal until they make a decision on it. I think my attorney put "i-485 pending" as status on one of our forms. don't worry about the visa, the visa is more like a permit to enter thing these days.

I would just keep the bio appointment, unless you are 2 million miles away. and submit a address change right after the appointment.

You can refile I-485 no problem there. but you will have to pay all the fees again. as for self-petition, from what I have read, it is usually used for one's spouse is abusive, (physically usually). but not trying to say anything about your relationship with your husband. but for this AOS to be successful, first thing first, you will need to have a talk with your USC husband to find out exactly what is he up to. cuz he would want you to get your GC in order to stay here with him. GOOD LUCK.

What? She didn't EWI. She came on a tourist visa.

sorry, what i meant was she will be TOTALLY ok to file AOS.

Since you are a USC petitioning for your wife, it should be no problem but that language IS confusing.

with the only exception that she entered without visa.

May filer here, Interview coming up September 6th in OKC. although we've been married for 3 years, have two daughters together, Still freakin nervous.

ok, I was J-2, we didn't want to risk the fact that J waiver could come after the i485 interview, we filed i-130 first, J2 waiver second, and finally I-485. and my interview is coming up on Sep 6, filed end of May.

by law, yes, you can stay and file I-130 and I-485. but will most likely be denied. you will have a better chance if you go back, file and wait. just my 2cent. nothing to back it up.

hi,

My mom lost her i94 and passport. She arrived to the country 7 years ago with tourist visa, but she decided to wait here to get her green card. I got my citizenship this month and want to file her papers so she can became resident. Should I apply to replace the i94 first and after that apply for her resident card OR file to get her permanent resident card now and wait until Immigration ask me for the i94. My only concern is she is not legal now. Is it a problem if she submit the application to get a new i94???

Thanks a lot

you will HAVE to have at least a copy of the I-94, if you don't keep copy of that, file i102, gonna be expensive and time consuming.

Still waiting. hows everyone doing?

Hell Everyone - Same situation here. I sent my I-130 application to California's office last July and it took them one month to add to the system (NO1 on August). Then it was sent to Texas early November and three weeks later I got the same letter (sent back from Department of State for review!). It moved to Post-Decision without any decision I guess! Still waiting like everyone else here. My five months will be over at the end of this month, hopefully something positive will happen before then because I hate to call any office which I think is run by retards (ok not all of them but some of them are).

Good luck to all of you!

well, if they received on Aug 1st, then your 5 months is already passed. (8/1-9/1, 9/1-10/1, 10/1-11/1, 11/1-12/1, and 12/1-1/1), it's already 10 days passed the 5 month mark, your should start calling them by now.

still nothing changed, waiting and waiting. good luck people

ya, it totally sucks to see September people got approved before us, that's just not right.

anybody got anything new yet? called today, and nothing new, nobody knows why it was sent back for review.

same thing here.

proof? oh - well, there's that 'bonafide 'proof, covered in the I-130 instructions -

there's 6 types, and IMO, option 6 is 'wide open' - submit anything you think will help.

Did you review the I-130 instructions?

If the attorney has already filed the I-130, IMO, it's useless for NOW to try to submit any 'proof' of anything else.

OTOH, can 'add in much' WITH the I-485, if/when you get to that phase.

Good Luck !

Oh, sorry, I meant proof of her pregnancy. if that would help on the J-2 Waiver, since I-130 had already been filed.

thanks a lot guys, i am so excited that I will be a father this coming February, but on the other hand, so scared that I might not be able to see her. just wondering if sending prove with any of the application would help in the process.

He filed the I-130 and I-485 together right?

no, he said without the J-2 waiver, the I485 will not be approved. so he plans to file one at a time. first I139, second j2 waiver, and last I485, btw, forgot to say that i was out of status for more than 3 years already

hi, my problem might be a little complicated

I came to US while I was still in High School (16 years old) with a J-2 Visa (yes, the 2 year home country applies)

Changed to F-1 in Mexico after graduate from HS.

Couldn't find a job after college, so worked at a restaurant (not suppose to), and married to a US citizen a year ago.

Now we are working on applying GC for me, hired a lawyer, he filed I-130 for me, and we are still waiting on that decision. the lawyer told me I will have to file a J-2 waiver once the I-130 is approved. and file for GC after the waiver. He also told me there is a small chance that I will be arrested after we file the J-2 waiver.

BTW, my wife is now 5 month pregnant.

So, anyone had the similar situation? I am very scared right now. not scared of being deported, but not being able to see my daughter grow up.

thanks for your time
