US Immigration from Jamaica

Hi all,

I want to know if anyone else has experienced what I ve gone through with consular administrative processing or 221g case refusal. Jamaica US Embassy. Interview date 11 August 2020.

So my Ir1 cases has been refused and After the interview my Husband and stepchildren were given 221g (Husband needs to provide proof of ongoing relationship with kids and find a new joint sponsor). They were asked to return the next day with the evidence for the kids. And They did. Luckily I was able to find a new joint sponsor and was able to resubmit new I-864s with supporting financial evidence that same day of the initial interview. At the second interview the consular officer wouldn t give a decision on our case that day and wouldn t review the new information that was resubmitted. However, they did give my husband and my 19 year old step daughter a stokes interview. They still kept their passports. But the cases are still showing refused on CEAC but I m seeing last case updated date changing.

FIRST ISSUE: There didn t accept our original sponsor who made over 100k For the last three years. The sponsor did sponsor 2 others (her parents) and has 1 dependent. So that s 4 total people in her household plus she was to sponsor my husband and 2 stepchildren. 7 people total. They didn t accept her AOS because she lives in a different state from me. I thought that was very weird because nothing stated the sponsor had to live in the same state. At the initial interview, consular concerned with what our family size will be if the join us. It will also be 7. That s why we got the joint sponsor.

SECOND ISSUE: In the stokes interview They were concerned about the kids migrating with their father without the mother. The mother gave us a sworn statement giving us permission to take the kids to the US.

What could be going on? This situation has me so confused. We definitely proved proof of a bona fide marriage. There is no question they can ask them that they don t know. So I can t understand what is taking so long for them to give us a decision. What do you all think is going on? Should I be worried?

My lawyer is not really helping . After i send the packet is their a link or something I can check to get maybe a priority number or status update or anything ? Have anybody have any luck with getting a EAD approval recently ? My lawyer said another one of her clients call congress about it and had an approval within a week. Have anyone tried that ?

Has anyone recently abandoned their K1 process and got married instead? If so can you share you journey please?

I had my k1 visa approved at the beginning of the year, I didn t get to schedule my interview because there wasn t any available appointment date, then covid19 happened. I ve been religiously checking for new appointments opening, today I realized that appointments are now available, with the earliest being November 9, 2021. This is so depressing. Anyone else going through the same ordeal?

Hey y'all so... (Long Post)

I applied n400 in July 2019 was scheduled for interview April 2020 for NYC Queens which was then de-scheduled... I also have outstanding i-751. Here's the timeline of events based on my account notifications and inquiry

-March- Interview de-scheduled Queens

-April- I moved (same state different city new office should have jurisdiction)

-April- updated my address using form for both cases

-May- updated status online account my n400 has moved and new office has jurisdiction

-June- did inquiry for i-751 - case moved to office with new jurisdiction (Albany) received another extension letter NBC listed as address

- August- interview rescheduled for N400. Letter states Queens as location for interview. Letter has my new address ( which means they obviously got the change of the address right? )

-Today Aug - call USCIS my n400 is at Queens but my i-751 is in Albany

The tier 1 rep I spoke to say they didn't update my address in all the right places so my case N400 never left Queens... Then what was the change in office notification I got in May. It was obviously already in Queens if my interview was scheduled, right? So if it got transferred should it not have been to Albany? Which is why I never even thought to do an inquiry.

Anyways the rep is telling me I should change the address again. I don't actually want to. I'm much closer to NYC, (I actually still work in NYC) than I am to Albany and additionally, I don't want to then have to wait again for my interview to be scheduled in Albany. The rep also suggests that they might not actually do the interview when I go because they'll ask where I live and will say they can't do the interview bc the office is incorrect. I requested a tier 2 call back but I have no hopes in that.

So I'm looking for suggestions and insight into this one. I know they can't actually approve my n400 either bc I can't do a combo if the cases are in different offices. What do you all think.
