Would like to update my profile now that NVC has assigned a case number. But I don't know the date NVC Received my info, only the date case # was communicated to me. Is "NVC Receive" checklist item the date I receive case number?

Does anyone have a number to talk to an actual person at the London US embassy?

I don t mean the one that goes to the switchboard and then automated messages and then nothing.

We need to discuss something important and we are not getting replies by email!

Thanks in advance

I have a question and need help. My husband is not sure whether the girl in his case was a minor. He and a group of young guys were involved, " the chage was groupe sexual assault and she was their friend. He doesn't remember the details because the situation traumatized him, and he tried to erase it from his life after serving two years in prison.

My question is: if the girl had been a minor, is it likely he would have received only a two-year sentence? He did plead guilty. ChatGPT told me that in most cases involving minors, the minimum sentence is usually higher than two years. While we wait for the court report, I need guidance from someone who knows the law, because my life is on hold. Thank you.

Hi I'm a little lost with this immigration progress. I entered the country with the humanitarian parole for Venezuelans in February 2023, my boyfriend (now husband) was my sponsor (he is an American citizen). We got married at the end of July of 2024 and in September we sent the adjustment of status forms (I-130 and I-485). In January of 2025 they schedule the interview for March of 2025 but they de-schedule it a week before the interview. Apparently there was a pause on all of the immigration applications for the people that entered with a humanitarian parole, that is what I read online. This pause was lifted on June and in July they schedule our interview again for August 2025, but they de-schedule it again.

In addition to this, I sent the I-765 Application for Employment Authorization on November of 2024 but I accidentally selected "renewal" instead of new application. I called them immediately and they told me to send a letter to the processing office explaining the typographical error and see if it can be fixed or if I have to send another form. They received the letter in December but they sent me an email saying that they have a 30 day goal of reply and it will be looked at. I didn't got any responses after the 30 days so in January I called again and they told me to send an e-request for the typographical error, but again I never received any replies towards my inquiry only the automatic message they always send. I called again and they insisted in sending another e-request and post the initial letter that I mailed on the documents tab of the case. I never received any reply regarding if my error can be fixed or not. I also told them on the call if I can send another form but they insisted in not doing it, that the only thing I could do is wait. In June I requested a congressional inquiry for this case but USCIS didn't gave them any replies other than it takes time. It's been a year since I sent my work permit and I don't know what can I do to get this solved. Has anyone deal with something similar? Is this normal?
