US Immigration from Finland

Hi, I'm in the process of obtaining police reports from the countries i have lived in since I was 16. I am a Finnish citizen and I have lived in Spain, England and Ireland.

I believe I would be able to get one report from the Finnish officials that would include criminal records (well the lack of them but anyhow) from other EU countries. That should be enough, right? Would save me tons of headache and trouble trying to get these from abroad.

Hi

Does anyone have any info whether this current slow down in processing I-130's might pick up or will it ever pick up?

Our petition is at Texas service center and everything seems very slow at the moment.

Another question, how long does it usually take to get an interview date after the I-130 is approved? (Consular processing)

Thank you

Hi, any other 02/25 I-130 filers out there?

We are going through consular processing with my USC husband, got our first NOA March 5th 2025 & now waiting and hoping for fast approval

Good luck everyone

Hello!

We received RFE about my birth certificate which kinda confuses me, since i added it our i-485 application.

RFE said: ''Submit an English translation with the applicant s foreign birth certificate issued by the appropriate civil authority. If the document is in a language other than English, you must submit a copy of the foreign language document and an English translation. For the foreign language document, we will only accept a long-form birth certificate which lists at least one parent''.

I checked the requirments from uscis website and i did send english version of my long form birth certficate with stamp.

So should i order my Finnish version of my birth certificate, since i didin't add that.

Could that be the reason why we got RFE?

Thank you in advance!

ps. can't update my timeline for some reason.

Hi, quick question

I'm the foreign beneficiary, my husband is the USC petitioner and our I-130 is pending.

I am traveling to see my husband over the holidays. I'm traveling on ESTA.

Our I-130 was filed under my maiden name. Now my lastname has changed to my husband's name and I have a new passport with my updated lastname.

Should I bring my old passport with me also when I travel? I believe I need to bring it to the interview eventually but just wondering if I need it with me now when traveling too?

Many thanks for your help
