I'm sorry to say but waiting seems to be the only thing right now. Ours was sent July 8 and as of right now they are processing July cases

Gabrielforever... You did received something on the 25th Jan right?

[Gabrielforver 0]

Yes I received an RFE not exactly what I had wished but I guess it better then a denial

I wish you good luck for that, at least you received something so that you know they have worked on your file.

Yes at least I got a response back because I know how frustrating it is to wait. Hang in there and I wish you good luck as well!

Hello everybody

a friend of mine overstayed his voluntary departure 12 years ago.never left the us.clean record.got married to a green card holder 2 years ago.she will apply for citizenship this month.

by the way his vd due to overstaying his b2 visa .

I know vd turns out automatically to order of removal.

does the ten years ban apply in his situation? Can he adjust without leaving? Does the ten years count from the actual departure or from the date of vd decision.

Any help with his options if any?????

I know a lawyer is a must? Any good one in Chicago area???

Congratulations!!! Best of luck with the move! May I ask why you had to submit the waiver? I'm trying to determine if certain reasons are taking more time or if all should just expect 6 + months. Did you see an update on USCIS prior to the approval at all or once it was approved or the letter just came?

Thank you!! We are beyond excited. Reason was an overstay I downloaded the uscis app which I would check everyday.
