Hi fam, 

 

Anyone submitted I-824 at Vermont in 2022? 
 

I’ve been waiting for so long, no updates.


When they do the background security check, how long does that usually take?

@Pinkrlion Do you know how long the process is taking to get my deraritive from Jamaica? i already received my green card and i824 is approved for my two kids.

How long did they take to approve your 824?

 

When did you submit the 824? 

 

When was your 824 approved? And how long have you been waiting for the welcome letter from the NVC?
 

I have been waiting for so long

Sadly, there's no telling.  The process is extremely opaque.

In extreme cases, one portion of the security check can expire while other parts are in process.  Let's hope that your process goes as smoothly as such things can go.

Thanks. How can I expedite this to get interview or medicals rfe, my field office NBC Lee summit, can someone please suggest

Do you have any valid reason for expediting? Or is it just a desire to get it reviewed quicker? If the latter, many people on this forum have the same wish.

Hello Everyone!!

Congrats to everyone making progress on their journey. 
I am not completely finished with my journey, but I have received my green card.

I want to get married to my fiancé who is from my country, is anyone here familiar with it’s how long the process would take? 
or would it be better to wait until I became a citizen?

Thanks in Advance 

 

I suggest you to sponsor her when you become a U.S Citizen,because the 5 year- rule .You can read about this here https://www.patellegal.com/the-5-year-rule-getting-remarried-as-a-green-card-holder/

It takes around 8/12 months.

i filed 485 & 360 together in 2018, so its too late now. i cant wait any more

I see. It's not unusual for WAVA and asylum cases to take years.

In your situation, if your case is strong, you can sue USCIS (writ of mandamus).

Hire a lawyer who's capable of doing it.
