US Immigration from Guatemala

Hey guys, just coming to update on my husbands adjustment of status process.

We had an active K1 petition active when he decided to surprise me with a visit back in September of 2022 for my birthday.

October comes around and we say eff this and decided to marry on a whim. We knew the process would be long but I got all the paperwork together and sent off the I-130, I-485 packet November 15th.

We received the NOA1 within a week or two.

January comes around and we received an appointment notice for his biometrics. He did that and we didn t hear anything until April 15th when we received an email that the AOS was approved and to expect something in the mail within a month.

April 20th comes around and and we find the official approval notice in the mail. Then today comes and his LPR card was in the mail. It was all surprisingly fast.

We didn t interview and in total it took 6~ months. This was faster than ever expected and i m genuinely surprised we didn t require an interview?

Anyway, we re both extremely happy and i m hoping to see more successful adjustment stories.

Hey guys, today I received two notifications.

Little backstory: Husband and I went the concurrent filing route when we got married (October) and submitted the i-130, i-485 and all the other ones in November for the AOS process.

Well, today I wake up to see that the i-485 was updated to 'Case Approved' but the i-130 was barely updated to 'Case Is Being Actively Reviewed' status. This doesn't really make sense to me, I know theyre two different petitions but assumed they would both be looked at together? Any knowledge, insight, advice is appreciated.

This is good news, right?

Hello,

I recently submitted my application to USCIS that included forms I-130, I-30A, I-485, I-864, I-693, I-765 and I-131.

However, my payment was declined because my bank thought the charge coming from USCIS was fraudulent. I received my application back today and it came with a green slip that said to refile with the green paper on top. The applications all came stapled together, my medical examination form came back open and some of the evidence I had submitted is out of order. Is it okay to re-submit the application as is alongside a money order. Or should I remove the staples, organize everything again and get a new sealed envelope from my civil surgeon?

Thank you in advance

Hello, new to this site.
I m a US cItizen, my fianc a Guatemalan.

We know each other since we were teenagers, over 40 years ago.

I m divorce over 10 years ago, he is just getting his. We started dating last year.

We do not meet the two year requirement, I am looking for advise.
should we apply for an exception? Thanks
Any advice it s greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone! I was hoping you could help me with the following question. My uncle asked for my father to have a visa under the F4, and the priority date is August 2, 2007.
I was 13 years old on the priority date.

In this month, there were some changes to the visa bulletin, so we can use the Dates for Filing Chart instead of the Final Action dates.

In July 2020, the Dates for Filing Chart on F4 became current (15 AUG 2007), and at that time, I was 25 years 10 months old. I was looking for information about CSPA, and if my priority date was August 2, 2007, and the notice date on I-797 was October 15, 2010, I believe the pending time was 3 years 2 months. If I subtract 3 years from 25, I'm 22 years 8 months old CSPA age.

Does this mean that I'm ineligible for a visa? I filled out both my parents' DS-160 forms, and I also filled out mine. Additionally, I was able to pay fees, and as of today, everything is accepted on the CEAC website. We are only waiting for the interview letter and dates.

I'm worried that maybe I will not be eligible. Literally all of my father's family lives as citizens in the US, my sister and niece also live as permanent residents in the US, and probably both my father and mother will get their permanent residence in the US. Practically, all of my family is going to be there.

Is anyone in a situation similar to mine? If I'm already accepted on CEAC, does that mean I'm protected? Did I just pay fees just to get a "no" as an answer? Is there anything I can do?
