Thank you. I hope y'all get approved soon too. Do not go by the processing times on the USCIS website. According to the webpage Indianapolis is processing March applications. But we filed in September. I think a little bit of luck mixed with the simplicity of a given case goes long ways. :)

Question about home visit... We are planning to travel for a week. USCIS would not visit us unannounced, would they?

(We are October filers and just sent back our response to their RFIE)

If USCIS decides to visit your home, they would do so unannounced. Looking through VJ, it seems that while random home visits are something that may happen, they are not very common and generally fairly painless if you are in a genuine relationship. 

 

You can't always be home in case USCIS decides to drop by, so I wouldn't worry over a 1 week trip. The likelihood of having a random home visit seems very low.

Thank you. I cannot give you legal advice but according to me they would not make an unannounced visit. And as long as you remain in-status they should not care about your travels. I hope this helps.

Thanks! Hopefully they are quite busy and do not have the time to visit us just yet, especially we sent back our RFIE reply only last week.

Congratulations @Rooh52 !!!! Those are great news.

 

@astronot thanks for the support. I think we got lost in our conversation. Yes, I did call them an asked to expedite my EAD petition. I just got now a letter in the mail (not an email) asking to send the job offer by fax. I called Monday last week and I got the letter on today, Monday. So full 5 week days. The letter was sent on Tuesday 14th. That's when my online status changed. Hope I wrote it better now. Best of luck! Let us know when you get your approval!!!
