US Immigration from Canada

Looking for advice. It is seems like every USCIS conversation I have online with an agent using the Chat feature gives inconsistent information for a case. Some agents give a detailed history of the offices the case is transferred to. Others say they cannot see that information. Most recently - I will have an agent same it is in Nebraska since Aug 16 and then another say it went to TX Aug 26, and then today they said latest update is that it was transferred to Nebraska Aug 16 and with an officer there.

This is a June 27, 2023 PD - something feels off. My mother's was approved, all the June 2023 PDs I know have have had an action on their case. My mother's is sitting in limbo in at NVC while we wait for my dads which is just sitting in processing since 2023.

Has anyone had success reaching out to the officer using the online inbox feature? Or other ways? Has anyone else felt the same runaround/inconsistent information from the Chat Feature on the USCIS website? It is un-nerving how they are giving different information. Any suggestions on how to get a REAL update on this case? It should have been adjudicated by now. All other mother/father cases in this blog are typically pushed through the USCIS stage only a day or so apart, longest i've seen is a couple weeks. I am almost at a month now between when Mother's was approved.

Hi all,

My fianc and I -- both guys -- put together an extensively-researched packet thanks to reading the experiences of all the amazing folks here at VJ. Mailed, they signed for it, we are waiting on our NOA1 now

Included in our relatively efficient presentation of evidence (we didn't go overboard on photos, and emphasized stronger things like entry/exit records and matching boarding passes), we included a photo commemorating our recent engagement, which happened on my latest time spent with him.

We're very aware of the issues some VJ members have had with engagement photos appearing too formal, but that seems to be moreso related to large gatherings with people, matching outfits, or cultural ceremonies?

But the worry bug which seems to go with this process has kicked in, as seems to go hand in hand with this process.

I've attached the photo we included, which before we sent the packet so obviously screamed "engagement, not married" in my mind: a single ring, a showing-off-the-ring pose, informal clothing, informal pose, just the two of us.

But just wanted to ask the perspective of this amazing group of folks, as y'all have been following these kinds of things for way longer.

Any reassurance is appreciated

My wife just entered CR1 yesterday, and she is short of two years of marriage, so she will get conditional GC regardless.

We have been browsing with all the terrible wait for 751 approval and the potential of filing N400 while 751 is still pending. Now, we have some concerns about our unique situation:

So, she won't be eligible to file for 751 until June 2026. However, we tentatively plan to move to the east coast for her med school in 2027. So, if we filed her 751 in June 2026 at the current location and then filed N400 a year later, after everything is received, we will move to the east coast. Will they transfer all files to the local office? Or will these add more time & complexity to the case? Or should she file N400 after we settle on the East Coast?

Thank you!

Any advice for how to actually get the payment to go through? Never got an error --- just frozen on that payment processing...then log back in and it sows "In process" for both fees.....

Used both chrome (first payment) and then Microsoft edge for second.....

Hey Guys,

it was long distance marriage because of my job. We visited regularly monthly and spent a lot of time during covid lock down together.

i have basic evidence such as photos life insurance policy credit card statements. I drive back and forth from Toronto to ny so there really isn't much else.

Any help or suggestions would be awesome thanks again!
