US Immigration from Italy

I m Italian and my spouse (fianc e until 2 weeks ago) is an American citizen. After having my K1 visa approved last July 1st, the corporation I ve been working with for several years sponsored an L1b visa to let me have an immediate work permit and having me working for them in their subsidiary in US.

When I got into the US with a K1 and an L1b visa on my passport, I was asked with which visa I wanted to be admitted and I confirmed the intention to enter with the L1b.

L1b has granted me the work permit and the opportunity to freely travel in and out of the country.

Two weeks ago I got married with my fianc e in Michigan and I m restarting the immigration journey.

I suppose now my spouse should file the I-130, together with my I-130A, the I-485 and the ancillary forms.

I wonder if there s expertise in the forum to clear a couple of doubts I have as described below.

1. While filing the I-130 and the I-485 I m not supposed to request a work permit since it is already granted by the L1b visa. Correct?

2. Would I keep the possibility to travel, temporarily leave the US and return with my L1b or the adjustment of status process invalids these privilege? In other words, am I free from the obligation to request an advance parole document through the I-131 and from being stuck in the country until the whole process is completed?

Thank you in advance for any informed advice you can provide!

My husband and I had our interview today, had a great officer and were approved on the spot. After we got out of the field office I received a notification that New Card Is Being Produced .

While the I-485 changed case status quickly, the I-130 still has not changed status online and shows received .

I m wondering, will the I-130 change case status online as well? I was reading that if the I-485 is approved, then it means that the underlying I-130 has been approved as well. Is this correct?

Thank you!

My husband completed his compulsory military service when he was of age. The problem is, the office for him to request the record is being COMPLETELY insane, and has offered to only give him a certified digital copy, and they say "it's enough for whatever you need it for..."

He was previously married and in the states on a k1 (10 years ago) and has the stupid paper from then, which he got with very little trouble back then. They told him yesterday that the actual printed one would take 1 to 3 months!!!

I just want my husband home. Getting any sort of paper or progress with the Italian government is always an adventure.. lol

I wonder if : we upload the old one, and include a letter that the unexpired version is on its way if that creates a problem? Or maybe wait for the digital one, and hope that the actual paper one comes through before interview (it likely will, but if it doesn't, I'll have him bring the old one as well as a printed copy of the email that they sent the digital one with?) We already have literally all other papers ready. I'm trying for having him home by our first wedding anniversary.

Any insights? This wife is about to call the office and use my caveman Italian on them to try and accomplish something better than 1 to 3 months. It is a single sheet of paper that just shows his compulsory service....we're not asking for the world, just for a piece of paper.

Hey there!

I have a question for you all who might have been in my same situation.

I am a legal permanent resident who filed for citizenship 90 days before my 3 year admission date as a conditional permanent resident through marriage to US citizen.

I filed for removal of conditions in august 2020 and got my conditions removed on October 4 2021.

In the meantime, while waiting for my conditions to be removed, I filed for citizenship in August 2021.

2 days after my removal of conditions interview which went well, I got a notice in the mail for my citizenship interview on November 4th 2021.

November 4th is exactly one day before my 3 year anniversary as a green card holder.

Anyway, the day before my scheduled interview I got a phone call from my local USCIS office in Los Angeles telling me that my file didn't make it in time to their offices and they had to reschedule.

I decided since I live close to their offices to go anyway and the lady told me in person that my file hadn't made it in time and I should receive a new interview appointment within 30 to 60 days from November 4th.

This is what the descheduling letter said :

Hello everyone,

I am removing my condition of residence after divorce. My case was received in July 26 2021 and I got my extension letter few days later (I have california service center and my receipt number starts with WAC).
I went for a fingerprints appointment on December 3rd 2021 but until today my case status hasn t changed yet in fingerprints were taken. Is there anyone else who got their fingerprints taken and the status did not change in the USCIS account?

thank you in advance and good luck to you all
