US Immigration from Latvia

Hello!

It would be really interesting to see where everyone is in the process now, and when you filed your I-129f

I'm sorry if this kind of post already exists - I'm new here and still learning how things work here!

Thanks

Hello, I'll be arriving on the 26th and soon after that we'll be getting married, I've been looking into the process now so it's less stressful/complicated when we actually have to file it.

1. Where to file? When going to the i765 usics page, you get this link: https://www.uscis.gov/uscis-lockbox-filing-locations-chart which states the i765 should be filed to Dallas, and near the top it states 485 can also be filed there, but when you go to the i485 page it states SC should file to Chicago.

2. Timeframe confusion - currently processing time estimate by USICS for i-131 shows as 22.5 months for Texas Dallas, i485 shows 14 months for Texas, 13 months for Greer SC, 22.5 for Chicago IL

2.1 What exactly happens here? Do I submit to texas/chicago/wherever and they forward it to Greer so I can take my biometrics/interview there? Is it all wrong and I file to Greer SC?

2.2 It seems like the processing time for I-131 is longer than I-485 - is there any point at all for me to apply for I-131, would it not be a waste of money?

3. Looking at this website, people in Greer, SC have had a GREAT turnaround for their GC, is it locale based and they just dont have a lot of cases so it gets processed quicker?

Hello yall!

I have applied for N400 and after called military lined and asked for expedite procedure under Chapter 319(b). As I have never requested expedite case i have question:

1.They told me that I will be getting a call from T2 in next 7 days. What T2 agent will tell me? Will they tell me if my case is approved or not?

2. How long expedite cases for N400 approx. take? We will be leaving U.S in July and I am not sure if i can get an interview date before that.

Hello all,

So I got my 10 years GC as a result of spouse VISA and now my husband who is civilian and work for U.S government got an official order to work and move abroad. His initial contract is for 2 years with possibility for extension. I thought that i had to apply for re-entry permit but then I found an USCIS article saying that :

The time limitation does not apply to the spouse or child of a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, or of a civilian employee of the U.S. Government stationed abroad pursuant to official orders. In this case, the spouse or child must present the card mentioned above, not have relinquished residence, and be preceding or accompanying the member or employee, or be following to join the member or employee in the United States within four months of the return of the member or employee.

After reading this I am a bit confused whether I need to apply for re-entry at all since I will have his official government orders and use them as proof when come back. I will try and call USCIS today but i guess they will just read the same information from website to me.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

P.S: we are leaving in June and even if I apply for re-entry now , from what i see it would not be issued to me before I leave. However, reading similar questions I understand that i just need to be present for biometrics in U.S?

Today after my interview my visa IR1 got approved. And i was told that i will receive passport with my visa by the end of this week .

question about Green Card. Do i need to apply for it once i am in U.S? How long does it take to get it?

and i was not give any envelopes with my medical.. will it come with passport or it is all electronic now ?
