  1. There is nowhere on the I-130 where you have to disclose these things.... However, USCIS still does background checks on the petitioners and I have seen on other platforms, an increasing number of US Citizen Petitioners reporting that they are being scheduled for biometrics appointments. Most of them have reported that they have some kind of criminal record, so be prepared for this. Also get ahead of the train here and start requesting whatever official court records / expungement certificates, DVTRO dismissal records you can get your hands on. Get a few copies of each. That way you will be prepared in case of an RFE from USCIS (when they RFE for court records, they want official, sealed/stamped court records) AND you will have another set to send to your wife as they will likely want official records at the embassy interview. I would also start crafting a short, sworn affidavit that you can have notarized, explaining these things. Then when the time comes, you are prepared for any eventuality and not scrambling with an RFE clock ticking down or trying to answer a 221g from the embassy.
  2. Have you made a public inquiry with NVC to get your case number yet?
  3. Yes... Our status changed to "Card Produced" 5 days after the approval and it arrived in the mail 3 days after that. Our friends got their approval Dec.2nd and their status changed to "Card Produced" on Dec. 5th so it can go faster and slower
  4. Woo Hoo!!! Congrats! 🎉🎉 That was almost exactly as long after the interview as our friends who got approved last week
  5. I'm getting the same error
  6. Our friends just got their approval - 125 days post interview, 65 days post congressional inquiry
  7. If this is in the "Case Progress" tab, you can ignore the estimates there. They are notoriously inaccurate. I will say that a lot of the times it changes dramatically like that, it's because someone at USCIS did something with your file and it trips that progress estimator to change wildly for some reason.
  8. Read the language carefully (especially pertinent in government Policy Memoranda) it says, "Place a hold on pending benefit requests". A benefit request is not "pending" until it has been accepted and a receipt notice issued. By this language, if they follow the memorandum, they should accept and receipt the I-751 (which includes the automatic 48-month extension). The adjudication of the benefit is then placed on hold. If it's not cleared up by May, file the I-751 as your window opens.
  9. File on-time... The pause, according to the policy memo, is a pause on adjudications. Theoretically this means that your application should be accepted and receipt notice with 48-month extension should be issued.
  10. To be clear.... the OP was asking about whether the petitioner receiving benefits ever in their lifetime would affect the AOS process and the answer is no.
  11. Oh Lord.... Our friend in Maryland got the same exact RFE and they did just the Vaccine Assessment, sent it into the USCIS field office as instructed and were approved 7 days later.
  12. You should only need to get the Polio Vaccine and then have the Civil Surgeon complete the Vaccine Assessment part of the I-693 (if you can find one that will do just the assessment). There is a box on page 1 of the form #4.A. you should check indicating you are eligible for the Vaccine Assessment Only because you completed your Immigration Medical Exam overseas. Make sure you bring proof of the Polio Vaccine being administered (we got ours done at a CVS) AND bring a copy of the DS-3025 Vaccine Worksheet from the medical exam overseas. If you can't find a Civil Surgeon that will do just the assessment (all too common unfortunately) you will have to do the whole exam. If this is the case, still bring the copy of the DS-3025 and the proof of the polio vaccination.
