My husband had his interview today at Islamabad embassy. They approved all the documents and at the end gave him the 221G white slip that had AP checked off and passport to be sent via courier. He said the interview officer asked for his travel dates to other countries which he gave and then asked for PCC report which he didn t have because he had already left the country and the country doesn t provide non citizens pcc if they have already left the country (listed on the state website as well) Officer didn t give him a chance to explain or ask for other information. He asked if he needs to provide something and reason for refusal, they said they need more time on their end and didn t ask for anything else. They didn t send him any form or ask him to fill out anything to give more information. I know AP has no time frame but in standard cases how long does it typically take or has taken people in their experience?

After report of marriage, what document is required to change my wife's passport into her married name. Where do we get that?Thanks

Hi everyone,

My sponsor submitted an I-134A form in early September, but we still haven t received any updates. It seems like USCIS is moving very slowly with U4U cases lately.

Has anyone recently received any updates or approvals for U4U cases? By approvals, I mean sponsor form approvals followed by the beneficiary receiving travel authorization not just TA extensions.

If anyone has heard about new trends, recent processing times, or official announcements from USCIS, please share.
It would also be great to hear about any successful cases from Fall 2024.

Looking forward to your responses and experiences!

Hi everyone! I have a question, for the medical exam, what is the current Covid vaccine requirement? I am unable to find information on this.

How many doses are required specifically for Covid vaccine?

If it s the Johnson& Johnson is 1 dose sufficient or is it only Pfizer is accepted?

If anyone has experience with a titer test as well, is that acceptable as proof of vaccination if you don't have a record of the vaccine when you go for the medical exam? Thank you so much!

This is for the interview at the US consulate in Cuidad Juarez, Mexico.

Hi all,

Really would appreciate some advice.

I am a Canadian citizen living in Canada. My I-140 (EB-2 NIW category) has been approved with PD Nov 2023 and DQ May 2024. Waiting for interview letter from Montreal.

I received a healthcare job offer in the US with a start date in August 2025. The job did not offer any visa sponsorship but they might be willing to offer H-1B sponsorship. However I am not sure they are willing to do this and put up with the costs.

Other than H-1B sponsorship, what are my options to be authorized to work by August 2025? I am not sure that my green card will be approved by then but really would like to take this job opportunity.

Thanks
