Hey all;

Title sums it up - we filed concurrently, Adjustment of Status I-485, as well as for I-765 and I-131. Field Office will be San Antonio, Texas.

I don't want to sound impatient - not at all. I'm more just anxious as I see many cases (especially marriage-based) being put through to interview. I filed in June, but have heard nothing beyond "Case is still processing at USCIS".

I do ask EMMA and agents occasionally if I am at least in a queue for interview, but to no avail, I just get told it's still processing at NBC. All are still at NBC.

Should I be concerned? It's just a bit frustrating I guess, as I have no EAD and no hope of any movement on GC any time soon. I can deal with it, but I can't help but worry it's a bad sign?

Thank you.

on the tablet software, is there backspace or erase option?

Hi I'm new to this site, my bf from the UK tried to visit me in 2023 on ESTA. Long story short, he was denied entry due to not having strong enough ties to the UK. At the time, he was recently unemployed and living in a shared household, basically no assests, in general just bad timing. He has a clean record btw. I (US) have visited him 3 times since then because it was a traumatic experience. We agreed to try for him to visit again and he is actively working on applying for a B2. At this time, hes employed, has an apartment and owns a motorbike. Are there any documents that he should carry for his interview with the US embassy or that we should prepare to have on his person whenever he does cross the border? I've seen people mention having a letter from work and utility bills. We want to make sure nothing happens this time and things go smoothly.

i have calculated it so my wife and myself are out of the US for less than 18 months over the 3 years between GC and N400 but i'm concerned that N400 processing will be delayed in future since the USCIS is clearly now in the business of kicking people out more than letting people in.

suppose it runs to 4 or 5 years (from PR) before she gets an interview, does that also mean she can go over 18 months out of the country or are we stuck in the US waiting for an interview?

BTW, she can't apply until next Sept.

thanks

We received 797 approving k-1 and then email from NVC saying the case was sent to the Italian embassy. Yet we are still not able to check our status in the CEAC portal, in either the Non immigrant section or immigrant section (as recommended here). How long does it take until we can see? Beneficiary has just done DS-160 but now we are freaking out that we did it too early. The NVC letter had conflicting information. Do we schedule the interview or wait?

thank you kindly.
