US Immigration from Italy

So our status showed ready on November 10, 2022 but we have not yet received our packet. How long does it usually take? Many have said to schedule our own appointment but while we were in the process, the message clearly states NOT to schedule until instructed by the Consulate, otherwise our appointment will be canceled on the day of. We've emailed Naples Embassy and even called the office but still nothing. Most of the people I've reached out to who have had interviews at Naples said that their interview was scheduled for them.

Our petition will expire December 15 which I think is nothing to worry about since everyone is behind.

Just curious, anyone scheduled their own interview before receiving their packet? Did you get this message?

Naples Embassy received our Petition today! Status is "Ready". My understanding is that the Embassy will email us packet 3 and schedule our interview... Im so excited. 510 days today and we are approaching the finish line.

What a journey!

So the instructions for the I-134 form say to provide a Statement from the bank with "Total amount deposited for the past year". I just left my bank and they can only provide monthly statements. How should I handle this?

Hello,

After having my I-751 approved, I was sent the 10 years green card to my mail address but I have never received it. I reached out to USPS and they admitted they lost it. So frustrating!!!

After a month or so, I changed my last name for few reasons so I ll need to update my new Green Card.

I know I need to file I-90 to replace my Green Card, but what reason should I enter? Card was lost or destroyed? Or legal name was changed? They both apply!! And will the fee be waived since the GC was lost? I m not sure what to do.

Thanks!!

Just wanted to pass along some updates in case this helps anyone. We really agonized over the decision between K-1 and CR1 (I-130). We finally decided it was better to get married and go the CR-1 route. BEST. DECISION. EVER. 219 days from submission on the I-130 to the interview date. I highly recommend the CR1 route! Yes - I have a lawyer (and you need a lawyer, too). Yes - I filed Expedite Requests that were denied. Yes - I filed a 129 (K-3) and got denied on that, too. Just passing along my experience ... good luck to everyone. #1 piece of advice: GET A GOOD LAWYER. It makes a huge difference. Little mistakes (made by YOU) will cause massive delays. A lawyer will make sure everything is right the first time.
