US Immigration from New Zealand

22 hours ago I got an email and text from USCIS saying, "we have taken action on your case" but there haven't been any updates to my case (I-485 standalone) online. I've read a lot about this happening so I know it's pretty common. Unfortunately it's the weekend so I can't talk to a live agent via Emma which is frustrating! The anticipation is killing me!!

For people who have also had this happen, how long did it take before something updated or appeared in the documents tab?

For reference here's a summary of my timeline:

I-485 received: November 6th, 2023

RFE: November 20th, 2023

RFE sent/received: December 5th, 2023

Biometrics & active review: December 11th, 2023

Case transferred to FO: May 8th, 2024

Email/text saying action has been taken on case: June 8th, 2024

Hi everyone, on the 12th of April my 129F petition was received by my country s embassy (Auckland, NZ) and on the 15th of April they emailed me with a list of instructions and paperwork they would require before they would schedule an interview for me. I have signed everything and sent everything they required from me in late April (and even had my medical) but I have not heard anything back since then. They will not respond to phone calls or emails. I have not gotten a pre approval notification for an interview at this stage.

I am just wondering if this is a long time not to hear back since it has been nearly 2 months since I received my initial instructions from the embassy. What should I do?

Thank you.

I recently received a notice for a biometrics appointment related to the removal of conditions on my green card. This isn't my first time at the Detroit field office, as I previously attended a biometrics session prior to obtaining my green card. Now, after submitting the request to remove the conditions, I've been scheduled for another appointment.

I'm reviewing all documents and seeing that they want me to bring my green card and any ASC notices I've received. There was an initial mix-up since I never got the first appointment notice by mail. It wasn't until I gained access to my online account through the notice of action that I discovered I had missed the initial ASC biometrics appointment.

My question is: When I attend the rescheduled appointment, do I need to bring all ASC notices, specifically including a printed copy of the first one that I didn't receive? Since I can now access it digitally, I can easily print it out, but I want to ensure it's required.

Thanks!

I have no intention of breaking the law so I would like the legal answer if it is known.

All going well, I should have my visa approved in the next week or so and I am planning to move to the US in mid September. (yes it is within the 6 months of the medical)

I talked to my boss about me moving to the US and he has asked if I would be interested in continuing working for him but remotely in the US. I would like to help them out if possible, but obviously I cannot get a green card until I have got married and completed AOS which I plan on doing ASAP.

Does my lack of green card stop me from legally working US based jobs only or does it stop me from working ANY jobs when I live in the USA?

If I cannot work ANY jobs then so be it, but I would like to help my boss out if I can, and if i can't, I'll probably help him out where I can for free to keep myself busy rather than be <DELETED> sitting around and playing video games all day (as fun as that does sound, it's not very productive)

TIA

Just had my K2 medical yesterday at Auckland Citymed at 1:30pm.
Great experience. For a nervous time, they treat you with respect and are very professional and quick.

Timeline (give or take a few minutes), appointment was at 1:30pm, I got to Citymed about 1:10pm

I caught a flight from Wellington to Auckland, landing around 12pm.
Went straight out the front of the airport to catch the Skydrive bus which got me to Skycity about 12:50pm.
Walked from Skycity to Citymed in about 10-15 minutes at a casual stroll pace. It's all downhill.
Reception checked my paperwork and the nurse called me in to put me through the paces of taking vitals and measurements.
Doctor called me in and did a bunch of questions about my medical history, things like hospital stays, medications, family history, pysch issues, drug/alcohol dependencies, STD history etc Then a bit of a check for breathing, heart rate and reflexes. Nothing major or invasive.
Back to the nurse for a couple vaccination updates and blood draws then off to radiology out the back of Citymed for a chest x-ray and I was done.
15-20 minute walk back to Skycity for the bus back which got me to the airport around 4pm.
(Don't forget to hand over your paperwork to the front counter at Citymed when you leave)

So I think that my timeline was pretty much as good as it could get at 4 hours from airport doors to airport doors.
But I would definitely allow more time than 4 hours for bad traffic or flight delays or longer wait times at Citymed.

All in all I 100% rate the Citymed experience. I thought it was going to be a bit clinical and stiff, but they were super nice.
