Hello,

Our Adjustment of Status (AOS) interview was yesterday. The officer was friendly and professional. He even corrected a minor mistake in the application regarding a date.

During the interview, they asked many detailed questions about our previous marriages, including specific dates and details not just whether they were terminated.

Throughout the interview, the officer repeatedly said, I am making my decision, but they did not provide a final answer at the end. Instead, they told us we would receive the decision in a few weeks, or sometimes it may take months.

We offered to provide additional evidence, but the officer said it was not necessary and that they had everything they needed.

We have a few questions to better understand the process:

1. Is it normal for the officer not to provide an immediate answer?
2. Are the interviewing officers also the ones who make the final decision?
3. When should we expect to hear back regarding the outcome?
4. We noticed a pink-colored carton paper in the officer s files does that indicate anything about our case?
5. Should we take any action now, or simply wait for USCIS to notify us?
6. What is the typical timeline for receiving the green card after the interview?
   
   We received a white paper, which is the Notice of interview results, first option ( your case being held for review at this time...

We want to make sure we understand the process and next steps correctly.

I received an email on Feb 26 advising that the NVC received our approved I-129F petition and will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Montreal, Canada. I have read multiple things that are leaving me confused.

1. I am unable to check the status of our case online. It always says "Your search did not return any data". I have tried putting NA in the passport number field and the name field, I've tried filling it out completely. I've tried just putting NA in the passport field. Still same results.

2. Can someone please confirm the correct link to check the status of a K1 Visa as it seems to be different than other visa's? Maybe I am just in the wrong place? lol

3. Should we be waiting for the letter from the embassy/consulate with the check list, etc before we file the DS160? I have read things that say to wait and I have read things that say to go ahead and file.

We are 2 weeks away from one year from our petition being received. Best of luck to you all, in love and quick processing times!

Thank you in advance for any assistance

Hello,

I am currently preparing Form I-134 for my fianc s upcoming K-1 visa interview in Jamaica and would appreciate your guidance regarding financial eligibility.

My household size is three, including myself, my minor child, and my fianc . On my 2025 tax return, my adjusted gross income (AGI) was $23,696, which I understand may be below the recommended threshold for a household of this size. However, this figure does not reflect my current earning capacity.

I currently hold two positions. My primary job provides an annual salary of $85,000, and my secondary job pays $33 per hour at approximately 40 hours per week. I began my primary position mid-year in 2025 following maternity leave after the birth of my child in late 2024, which contributed to the lower reported AGI.

As of February 2026, I have been out of work due to a job-related injury and am currently receiving workers compensation benefits. I remain employed and expect to return to work once medically cleared.

Given these circumstances, could you advise on the best way to demonstrate sufficient financial support for purposes of the I-134, particularly when prior tax returns do not accurately reflect current income? Additionally, please let me know what supporting documentation you would recommend submitting in this situation.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello Visajourney, a few days ago I received my interview notice for my N400 application. It does not annotate my pending i751 application though. Does this mean I won't get a combo interview?

I would prefer a combo interview and assumed they knew about both applications and would combine them without me asking.. Should I get ahead of any potential issues and upload a letter requesting a combo interview including the i751 extension letter? My N400 was filed online by me and the i751 application was submitted by an attorney.

Or is my only option to go to the N400 interview on April 27 and see what happens?

Any advice appreciated!
