US Immigration from Guyana

Need help! I applied and both applications for my brother and sister was received in September 2013, as of February 2021 both Cases were approved and sent to the NVC. What are the next steps? How long more will this process take?

Who else waiting on Permanent and SS Card?

Paid in November. Arrive in December. Miami POE. I've never been without a Job for so long. My Mother-in-Law already told me to get out of her house after an Argument.

Please direct me to a Thread for People Waiting on Green Card after Arrival. Thanks

Hi guys, my wife just came back from her Citizenship hearing and after all the smooth sailing we have had from visa process to now, we finally hit a "determination" wall.

My wife was arrested a few years back because my daughter (her estranged step-daughter) called the cops on her and fabricated a domestic violence case against her. The fight was actually between my daughters and my wife was breaking them up. That one daughter (she has progressive mental illness) went to the precinct and said my wife scratched her and the next thing you know, cops were at the door arresting my wife who spent a night in jail. This is a woman from a upper class family in her country, highly college educated, never seen a jail before so you must know the embarrassment I feel.

Anyway, the case was never prosecuted and it was thrown out AND sealed and we got a disposition stating such, which my wife has used to travel in and out of the U.S 6 times already. We also submitted the ORIGINAL of that disposition with the paperwork, admitting to the arrest by showing proof of the outcome.

Well today, we must have gotten a special officer because he sees the admission of arrest AND the disposition, but he wanted more - he wanted the actual arrest report, partially denied her ("could not make a determination at the moment") and sent her home, telling her to wait for documentation from him on how to submit that.

The arrest happened in New York and we moved to Florida 3 months ago and now it has been HELL trying to get in touch with a competent person in New York to help with this. In fact, all we are getting are voicemails, dead ends and transfers to dead ends. Lawyers are charing $1,500 for the attempt to get it when I've done multiple paperwork for individuals and can do it in my sleep for me to need a lawyer.

The bright side is, he actually signed off on everything telling because she passed everything else with ease, but he cannot yet set a swear in date because he wants THAT arrest record.

Thoughts/advice?

I didn't see a thread for this so I decided to create it.
