US Immigration from Russia

Hello,

My visajourney account is linked to my university (.edu) email account, which has since been closed - I cannot get new emails to that domain anymore. I also do not remember my password so I can't assign things to a new email. Who should I get in contact with to help me switch this account's email? I can neither reset password (don't have access to original email) or reassign to a new email domain (i don't remember my password). I'm only logged in on this device and if anything happens I won't have access to this account anymore.

Hello friends,

I understand the wait time is estimated here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ my question is if anyone has had their I-212 waiver processed within the past year or two and can share their timeline. Based on my research I've seen some people have it processed within 2 to 3 weeks and some people wait roughly 8 months. They give a wait time of 30 months which however I feel about it doesn't seem accurate. Our I-212 was filed because we didn't know immigration status after filing multiple FOIA requests that had no pertinent info, and only found out our status after getting our I-130 approved then denied a day later due to needing an I-212. It has been 7 months since filing the I-212 and I guess my hope is that we are a family immigration visa so our I-212 seems to be a prioritized waiver, we updated our medical as it expires after 6 months just in case and are ready to go pending approval. Maybe this will help someone else one day who goes through this as it seems like some form of punishment and can be extremely demoralizing in my experience. Thanks for contributing in advance.

Things I've done since 221g:

1. Emailed the US Embassy of Jerusalem roughly every month since the interview. Every time they reply with "we're sorry, we can't tell you how long it'll take, check the CEAC website for updates" then add a random number of months I should wait. 2, 9, etc...
2. Checked the CEAC website every day. It changed once after we sent in what was asked of us to bring in August 2023.
3. Contacted a congressional representative for an inquiry, asked for US Department of State, they asked the embassy and got the same reply I've been getting for months.
4. Contacted a different congressional representative for an inquiry, asked for Department of State, they asked the WRONG embassy, then after correction asked the right embassy, and got the same reply I've been getting for months. They are now ignoring my emails.
5. Contacted the US Department of State, they told me to contact the NVC or embassy.
6. Contacted the NVC and am now waiting for the very likely "your case is not with us right now, contact the embassy"

Cheers to the 534 days of AP, and being unable to marry my fianc to get residency in the country he lives in because it would void his application!
Cheers to the 4 years of visa runs (for me) and putting our lives and his career on hold!

I was really hoping a congressional inquiry would get the wheels turning so we could avoid a writ of mandamus, given the horror stories we've heard on VisaJourney. If nothing happens by early/mid-2025 we're probably going to do a writ of mandamus or even abandon the petition and marry. This has been so disappointing, and eaten up so much of our 20's. We are not even asking for an approval, a denial would allow us to move on with our lives and settle elsewhere. It should not be taking this long. I should not be 3 years, 9 months into a K1 visa process.

See title. Do you guys think its likely?

Hello. I apologize in advance for any mistakes, because my English is not rlly perfect.
I am a citizen of Russia. We met with my fiance once in Turkey and stayed there together for 2 weeks. It was in December 2023. We filed a petition in April 2024 and received approval in July. All this time, we communicate in Discord almost 24/7, we literally have daily calls for 10-20 hours and endless text messages.
So, the US Embassy doesnt work in Russia, so we moved our case to Hong Kong. The interview is planned for January. We want to meet there again, and at the same time visit Thailand before the interview itself. Then we will go back to Hong Kong, and he will wait for me at the building while I go through the interview.
We do not have any criminal or illegal stays. We are the same age (25 years old).
But I am worried that two meetings may not be enough for visa approval.
The Hong Kong embassy has few reviews and is poorly known for Russian citizens. Could we run into difficulties due to the low number of mettings? thank you
