US Immigration from Ireland

Hi everyone! Quick question on filing time for adjustment of status for my brother.

I am a USC, and my brother travelled from his own country in Europe for a vacation about 6 weeks ago. (ESTA Entry) Weather was pretty bad for the first couple of weeks so he decided to extend his stay here so we could do more things together that we originally planned. Recently, his girlfriend broke up with him and he really has nowhere to go back home so I floated the idea to him that maybe he should think about staying here if it s possible and that I could sponsor him for a green card. He is interested and so I started to look into it.

I understand the AOS process, as its something I have been through before after I met my wife and we got married in 2017. My question is, when is the ideal time to file? There seems to be some variance with 60+ days and some either say wait until after 90 days but his ESTA only lasts for 90 days and we don't want to break any rules if he overstays. He did not come here with any intent to stay, but life threw him some lemons and myself and my family would be happy to help him out if at all possible to help him get on his feet and start over.

Any advice or links to guides/previous threads will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.

Hi all,

I notice if I go to the processing times tab at the top of the website, there is no "current processing times" info on the right hand side for cases assigned to the Potomac service center. Any idea why this is - is there just not enough data being submitted to the website to provide processing time info? I assume that's the reason, but wondering if there's something I'm missing here...thanks

Hello everyone,

I received my Green card today, yay!!!

Unfortunately my dob is incorrect on it. Is it possible to argue that because USCIS had various copies of my DOB - birth cert, passport, I-765 and I-131, that I don't have to pay the I-90 fee?

I do have to travel internationally in July and plan to ring for a I-551 stamp.

Hi all,

I will be able to file my 1-751 to remove conditions on my CR1 spousal visa. I have upcoming travel plans and curious if I should wait to file the 1-751 or if it s ok to travel after filing? My greencard will still be valid during my travel time, just confused if it will cause any issues to file and travel without that extension letter in hand? Read it can take 4-6 weeks to receive it but I will be back in the states by the time that arrives.

I can wait to come back to the US to file but would rather file it sooner than later if possible.

thanks in advance!

Hi, just got an update on my case, AOS has been approved. I didn't do any interview. No update on EAD and AP. How long does it typically take for it arrive? Will EAD and AP be included?
