US Immigration from Chile

Hi, I am trying to do paper work for my mother. I need her I94 that was given 20 years ago. I went to CBP website and I requested a FOIA to get her I94. This was done last May. When I go to the website and log in my requests shows that is in the Assignment phase. What does this mean? Anybody has had this experience before? Do you know how long this take approximately? This is the only document I need to request her. Can I sent paperwork without I94? Please help!

Thank you so much!

Hello,

With my wife we submitted online on the CEAC website all the documents and forms required by NVC on September 9, 2021.

Are we supposed to get any kind of email like a confirmation or we just have to wait for them to review the documents and give the final answer?

I checked on the CEAC website the application status and it shows the following message

Is that normal or something got messed up?

Thank you very much!

Hello,

With my wife we had recently our I-130 for CR-1 visa approved. As we were doing some research we found out that the NVC stage could take a couple months plus another months to wait for the interview at the embassy (Santiago, Chile).

Therefore we wanted to ask if it's possible to enter the US with an approved I-130, currently I (beneficiary) have a valid B2 visa to enter the US but we aren't sure if I would be allowed to enter.

Edit: I (beneficiary) currently live in Chile, while my wife is living in the US.

TL;DR --> Is it possible to visit the US on a B2 visa with an approved I-130? Or is it not recommended?

Thank you very much!

I will be filing for ROC in a few months, but I feel I don't have much evidence and I am worried about it. I have been reading old threads and guides here but I would still like to have someone else to give me their opinion on my situation.

Besides the required documents like marriage certificate, etc this is what I have:

- I moved to the US last year right before everything shut down. So, I was never able to sign the lease or get a state ID. Utilities were included in the rent. Then, a few months later my spouse got overseas orders and we are now outside the US. We live in base housing so again, no lease, no utilities.

- We have our current country's IDs. My spouse's name is on my ID but it doesnt show our address.

- We have a joint bank account that we only use to pay phone/internet bills. We mostly use cash. I don't work so the statements only show my spouse's name transferring or withdrawing money (I pay the bills online).

- I am an authorized user on my spouse's credit card, and we use them a lot but my name is not on the statements. Our cards have the same number.

- I am the beneficiary of my spouse's life insurance.

- No kids.

- We file taxes jointly

- We get mail sent to our military address and boxes/ amazon stuff show both of our last names.

- We have mail we once received to our current address sent by the local authorities so that may work to show we do live together.

- I have my military dependent IDs and my spouse's military orders showing my name.

- We have taken trips together but twice by plane. We usually either travel by car or train so no itineraries, but we do have pictures.

And that's all we have. I should mention I also applied for citizenship under 319(b) but I doubt I will be able to naturalize before my ROC window opens. Before I moved to the US, we didn't have anything together except filling taxes jointly and pictures from our trips to visit each other. I will be writing explanations about our living situation/lack of lease.

Does this look like enough evidence? Any tips? Thanks!

I'm wondering if anyone going through the AOS process (or planning to file) has been able to retrieve their vaccination records from Chile without having to ask for them in person.

I didn't plan to adjust status while visiting my husband in the US so now I'm looking at options.

I'd appreciate other Chileans experience, if any
