US Immigration from Bangladesh

I am a PhD student currently on an F1 visa, and my wife is a US citizen. I have been working on filing the necessary applications for adjustment of status from F1 to GC. However, I am sort of in a bind and facing a lack of information about experiences with filing the I-944, for someone especially in similar circumstances. The root of the problem lies in the fact that I own virtually no assets, basically living on a meager assistantship stipend. I have been studying in the US since 2015 starting with my masters, and have amassed a significant amount of CC debt while trying to compensate for living and medical expenses due to gaps in funding during grad school. My wife is also currently in grad school (supported by a TA position), and I can meet the federal income guidelines for AoS only if both of our incomes are combined. I feel like there is a high chance of rejection if I try to file my AoS application with an I-944 showing the state of our finances. Given the circumstances, I have thought about not filing for AoS, and instead just applying for OPT after I graduate. Once I get a job offer and have a better level of income, I could apply for marriage-based GC. I just wanted to see if anyone else is sort of in a similar situation and what you think, or at least get some advice.

My mother applied for me in F2a category in april 2016. But my petition got converted into F2b category because i was over 21 years old in 2018.

Nvc alloted me a case number in 2018.

MY question is-

1) When my mother petitioned for me for F2a, we gave the original birth certificate to USCIS to prove relationship, now will we have to submit it again for NVC processing?

Hi everyone,

just thinking ahead here. When do you usually file for renewal of EAD based on a pending AOS? 6 months before expiration? 3 months?USCIS says no more than 180 days before but I just wanted to ask.

also, it is free of cost for a renewal right? The fee calculator said $0, but I wanted to know from those who have been through it. Are processing times the same for a renewal as an initial EAD?

Hi everyone,

My EAD was approved on June 10th. The status was "New Card is Being Produced" and then "Case was Approved."

However, there has been no change since then. Others approved a week before had their cards mailed the next day.

I was using the search function on a Case Tracker and all the I765 cases from June 10th were still stuck on "Case was Approved."

Is this normal? When can I expect for my card to be mailed out? I'm getting a bit concerned.

Hi there,

Visa category: F4

I have submitted all of my documents including affidavit of support, DS260 and civil documents to CEAC online on 25th February 2020. Its been more than 10 weeks of my first submission which is the Affidavit of support, but still there's NO SINGLE REVIEW from CEAC end so far. This is emotionally very frustrating and getting really stressful over the days. However, I've tried making an inquire through the NVC inquiry form but all I got in return is "THE DOCUMENTS YOU SUBMITTED ARE BEING REVIEWED" and this has happened twice.

In regards to the situation described, what actions can I take other than waiting or if I can apply for expedite under the basis of emotional hardship?

Any kinds of support and info will be appreciated. TIA
