US Immigration from Australia

Hi everyone,

I don't know if I'm just going crazy or what, but somehow I'm not finding the right place to look for discussions or even for my timeline to accurately reflect my situation. I am an Australian in the US on an E-3 visa, married my USC partner in November and just submitted I-130/I-485/EAD/AP all under concurrent filing. Why doesn't there seem to be a forum about I-130 petitions for those already in the country, or the ability to show that on my timeline?

Found VJ when I was looking into I-130 processing times for IR's at MSC/NBC, so that's where I'm at right now because MSC cannot be picked in the dropdown on USCIS's site for I-130.

Thanks everyone + mods!

Hello!

My husband and I went for our Adjustment of Status Interview a few weeks ago on March 24th, and still have yet to hear our results or any update on the USCIS Case Tracking website. The interview was average and she only asked us a few general questions, requested some documents, and then told us about the removal of conditions process for our 10 year green card. She made it sound as if the USCIS benefits center makes the decision about our green card results. Has anyone else had an open ended interview left waiting once again?

Hello, just wondering if others are in similar situation. I am currently in Australia and international borders are still closed.

I applied to Australian Border Forces for an exemption to exit Aus. to relocate to US. I have current GC, however my 2 year re-entry permit expires in July 2021. I had intended to relocate 12 months ago to US, but I didn't think that border lockdown would be so strict and still be in place. Lockdown in Australia started March 2020.

My exemption application was unsuccessful. I was advised in the reply notice to investigate with US consulates in Australia, as "provisions had be made for US visa holders outside the US" who were affected by Covid19 border restrictions. I did this via email, with my details and received a generic reply outlining responsibility of having a GC, which I am aware of. There were no provisions or amendments for re-entry permits and there was no mention of Covid19.

Just hoping that there may be another avenue to explore!

Best of luck to you all.

Hello,

Husband and I are eventually going to file under married filing jointly. But we are filing an extension as we are (still) waiting on his SSN and don't want apply for an ITIN. On this form, what am I supposed to write down when it asks for his SSN when he doesn't have one? This is the whole reason why we are filing the extension - no SSN yet.

The President recorded a new video to be played at Naturalization ceremonies, welcoming new citizens.

Presumably, that is when the (optional) components of ceremonies can resume.
