Hi Everybody,

I am Fabien and this my first post here.. I have a few questions concerning my Adustment of Status package. So long story short, I came here on a visa waiver program (not planning on immigrating) to visit my girlfriend (now my wife :) ). But we got married anyway and decided to apply for an AOS knowing the risks.

So we sent the package (I-130, I-485, I-765 and G-1145) on april 4 2014 and it arrived at the Chicago chicago lockbox on april 7. Now it's April 24 and I still nothing from the USCIS. So I would like to know if i should be more patient or if i should start to worry, and if so what can i do to check where my package is?

I have another question concerning the check. After sending the package we found out that we payed for the I-765 when we shouldn't have (because it comes free when applying for I-485) so I wonder what happens in this case, do they send me back my check and i have to send it back with correct ammount? do they cash it and pay me back? Can this be the reason for the long time process?

And last question, is filling a form for a sponsor is mandatory in this case? because we didn't...

Well I ask a lot of questions, but this is a very stressful process for me so your help is really appreciated!

Thank you.
Fabien.

Welcome to VJ! I'm moving your thread from "Introducing Our Members" to the "Adjustment of Status from Family-Based Visas" main forum. There, you'll be among other members at various stages of the AOS process, and someone will be along to advise you. :)

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.
