US Immigration from England

My visa has expired before my EAD has been processed.

And my AOS could be up to 16 more months.

So, although I am here legally until AOS decision - my passport only shows expired visa and I "appear" to be an overstayer.

How do I prove status to a landlord, cop, bank, DMV etc ?

My situation.......

Entered US on business visa.

Met a lady, fell in love and married.

Filed I-485 to change status.

I know it will take up to 2 years ( based on USCIS website estimate ) to get a decision and that does not bother me.

But, in the meantime my only ID is a UK passport with NOW EXPIRED visa. Although I am legally in the US whilst my application is pending, I have nothing to prove this.

DMV refused to renew my drivers license as I am unable to prove my status.

And I-485 receipt letter states "this letter does not grant status".

I called USCIS and they said there is NO document nor letter they can give me to produce to anybody enquiring whether I am lawfully in USA despite my expired visa.

Did any of you guys ever need to prove to DMV ( or anybody else ) you were lawfully here pending your I-485 application ?

Hi all. Just wanted to ask a few questions on the processing times to try and determine how long things will take.

So i have noticed applications from September 2020 (according to other VJ members' timelines) have been approved from Nebraska and some haven't. According to the USCIS processing times it is estimating 6-8 months for the processing of USC Spousal Applications. To follow this and this is where my questions come from, I have also noticed people with timelines from 2019 who have waited 300+ days for i130 approval and a further 200+ days for complete visa approval.

What determines the incredible difference in processing times?

Also, when the case gets sent to NVC and you submit your documents etc. Is there a way of knowing when it will get sent to the local embassy (London in our case and the cases i have been looking at).

My wife is the beneficiary, adjusting from K1, she has a SNN, AOS package already sent but we are responding to our I-944 RFIE.

My wife doesn t have a credit card and neither do I, we both are debt free. She has a SSN with her maiden name on it. It s been roughly 13 months since she entered on her K1. We had tried months ago to check her credit online and nothing came up, so we tried endlessly to get one of the three major credit agencies to mail us a letter stating that she doesn t have a report and they misspelled her common first name 4 times in a row. The 5th time, TransUnion finally sent us a letter with the right name, but upon closer inspection it is not a letter stating that she does not have a credit report, rather a letter that appears to be... a WEIRD credit report.. it shows her full married name at the top with her personal info, then under that it shows account review inquiries where we had tried to view her credit report months ago on different occasions to get them to send us a letter. Then under that, it says special messages and says FILE SSN LIKELY NOT ISSUED PRIOR TO JUNE 2011 . The rest is just TransUnion s contact info.

My probably stupid question to you guys is, is this considered a credit report? It has no credit score or other information except for info on prior times we tried to find her credit report.

When we try finding her credit report on Experian and Equifax, they both give error messages saying that her credit report cannot be found. Should we include these and claim she has no credit report, or DOES she have a credit report and it s just completely blank? When we look on the TransUnion website her report is literally a blank drop down menu with nothing on it. Is this a glitch or a weird blank credit report? Thanks so much, any advice on this topic is much appreciated.
