My divorce is currently in progress, as well as my I-751 petition, which I filed jointly with my husband in January 2024. In March of this year, we began divorce proceedings.

Last month, I sent a letter to USCIS to formally request a waiver of the joint filing requirement and to inform them that I would submit the final divorce decree once it becomes available.

However, this weekend I received an acknowledgment letter from USCIS stating that I had requested to withdraw my petition, which is completely false I never made such a request.

Today, I consulted with two different immigration attorneys, but they each gave me conflicting advice, which has left me unsure about the best next steps.

One advised me to refile I-751.

The other one told me that my case was closed already and my next step is to go to court since the letter stated the following:

Therefore, in accordance with INA 216, your CPR status is hereby terminated. There is no appeal to the decision. However, you will have the opportunity to seek review of this decision in removal proceedings before an immigration judge. See INA 216(c)(2)(B); and 8 CFR 216.4(a)(6).

I would like to know if anyone here has any advice to offer or has experienced a similar situation.

Thank you.

Case was sent to embassy and has been at "Ready" status on CEAC website since 5/20/2025.

NOA2 on 3/4/2025.

Anyone with interview at CDJ wait this long?

Hi everyone,

I m applying for a K1 visa through the U.S. Embassy in Dakar, Senegal, and I ve run into an issue that I m hoping others might relate to or help with.

I made my MRV visa payment on August 6th, 2024 via the old website (www.usvisa-info.com) before they switched to the new AVITS platform (www.usvisaappt.com). Since the migration, I ve not been able to verify my payment on the new site.

I ve opened multiple support tickets on the AVITS site. The support team responds with instructions, but after following them exactly, I keep getting the same error message:

The payment reference number does not exist.

It feels like I m in a loop doing everything they say, but the system just won t recognize my payment. It seems like my payment data wasn t properly transferred from the old platform.

To make matters worse, my payment is set to expire on August 6th, 2025, and I still haven t been able to schedule my interview.

Has anyone else gone through this? If you made your payment before the site switch and had similar issues, were you able to resolve it? If so, how?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have attached screenshots of the issue. Thanks in advance!

Anyone have any analysis? Seems unusual.

Hey group!

Has anyone recently transited through the international zone of a European airport without a Schengen visa? We'll be flying from outside Europe to the US on a single ticket and won t be exiting the international transit zone.

From what I ve read on most websites, this should generally be fine at most airports (like Frankfurt, Vienna, etc.), but I ve also heard of people being denied boarding, especially on Polish airlines transiting through Warsaw. Still, I read one case of someone being denied boarding because of a transit in Vienna.

Just wanted to hear anyone's experiences!
