  1. Thanks. Can the payment be made by a personal check by someone's else name? different than the applicant name.
  2. Thanks. What is the approval rate for reentry permit if filed correctly? The person has been LPR since 2023, but left in early 2024 for 13 months and got back few days ago without any issues. They were dealing with a situation in their home country and they might have to leave again for over a year.
  3. Hello all, I am asking for someone I know, they are in the US as LPR currently and might need to travel outside the US soon for extended time (over 1 year). They wanted to file I-131 reentry permit, just to be ready in case they have to leave on short notice. My question is: Is the reentry permit valid for 2 years from the date of issue, or 2 years from the date of leaving the US? Thanks!
  4. Will this be forgiven if they get married and file the needed forms?
  5. They realized that the J1 visa expire on August 8th. Does this mean they are out of status now?
  6. They realized that the foreign spouse-to-be has expired on August 8th. Does this mean they will not be able to adjust their status? or this will be considered as forgiven overstay due to marriage to US citizen?
  7. Hello everyone. I am asking this for a friend: US citizen met a person who is in the USA on a J1 visa. They have been dating for a while and thinking of getting married. This is the 3rd year the foreign person comes to the US on J1 visa. The J1 visa will expire in 2 weeks or so. They don't have home residency restrictions. If they decide to get married, is there a way for them to stay here without having to go back? Also, will their overstay be forgiven if they get married after their J1 visa expires? Thanks
  8. I am sure it is frustrating to go through this. Always keep in mind that each case is different. Overhearing other applicants being approved is not enough to assume anything. Their cases are different than yours. I remember when I went to my interview, my appointment was around 08:45 AM. I kept waiting in the waiting room till around 2 PM. Not sure why they made me wait while others were in and out before me. My visa was approved though so I didn't really care at the end of the day about the wait. Good luck
  9. Did you get any updates?
  10. A letter is better than nothing. During my I-751 I had similar situation but with a bank, and we got a letter from the bank and USCIS accepted it. Good luck.
  11. The applicant PD on his approved I-130 is August 3rd 2023. Below is paragraph B on VB for June 2024. Does this mean the fees should be paid now and submit the needed documents? Thanks
  12. The embassy won't do much. The main answer comes from the department of state.
  13. Not sure if this makes a difference, but what time zone are the USCIS servers at? You might have filed online right after midnight but the timezone could be different day still.
  14. The fact that the officer offered to withdraw the application is an indication that there is something wrong/missing/incomplete in the application or in the applicant status. As far as I know and from personal experience, officers don't just offer you to withdraw your application out of no where.
  15. I've seen a case similar to yours. Someone also from southern Lebanon who had a K1 filed and went for an interview. Their visa was approved after 11 months. I filed for my parents recently and they underwent AP for 20 days only. The embassy contacted them after 20 days and requested their passports and next day gave them back with visas. Good luck.
  16. I've seen fast cases. I filed I-130's and they were approved in about 4 months. Good luck.
  17. If you filled your I-130 properly and submitted all the required documents, there is a big chance that you will be getting an approval message soon.
  18. Yes. I've seen 2 cases (not on this website). 1 case took 11 month to get the visa and the other case took about 1 month. Good luck. Are you male or female? Did you fill and submit the DS5535?
  19. She can do the interview in Arabic, no problem. Regarding the interview date, you can get one within 30 days but it requires daily login to see if there is any appointment cancellations.
  20. As a person who spent years of my life dealing with stressful days, weeks, months, dealing with the unknown, being away from family and loved ones due to long processing times, I am all for increasing fees across the board, even if at 200% or 300% and cutting down processing times. Our time is more precious and valuable than money.
  21. I agree. But when they left to come here there was no war. Now their son is there alone and he is having serious anxiety and it is affecting him a lot. Added to the fact of no internet always for them to communicate. They need to be with him. It is a tough situation for everyone. But they don't want to just leave him alone there. If there was a visa for him to come here and be with them we would have pursue that option.
  22. The father didn't file for the son another I-130 yet. The plan was to have one parent go and the other one stay. But given the situation at their home country (war), they decided both to go back to be with their son should something happen.
  23. They did file I-130 and it was approved. But now they need to go back for possibly an extended time (over 1 year).
