You'll face scrutiny for adjusting from a tourist visa. I honestly don't see the benefit in doing that too - you won't have to wait for NVC but you will have to wait for AOS. Same thing. I read the wait time for work authorization is about 5 months.
You are right! Purpose of tourist visa isn’t to visit and adjusting while on tourist Visa might have bars later, it’s better to do NVC

Thanks for your feedback. I do appreciate your perspective. What is killing me is the waiting away from my wife (and children). My marriage is literally languishing because of this 2-3yr journey/separation. Living the two separate lives is very difficult on our marriage.
If your PD is current and your I130 is approved, I believe it’s better to go through NVC, one of my relative had same case and had to face 3 years bar from entering. Adjusting status on tourist visa is looked upon by the officials.

I initially wanted to file AOS, but after asking a few questions here, I was told I is illegal (or in violation of the B1/B2 visa conditions) that one must return back to their country of origin. My wife has a B1/B2 visa even before I filed a petition for her and has visited me several times here in the US, but some have said it is in contradiction to do so. Although I must also admit, I have also read other members here who have filed AOS from their spouse who have traveled to the US on their B1/B2, so take that for whatever it is worth. So I will await and do consular processing.
I have similar case for my spouse we are doing consular processing! I heard there could be a denial on B1/B2 or even a bar from entering so We didn't take a chance.

I called uscis on 12th of July and they requested supporting documents, i sent it to them on the 21th of July , no response from them that they have received my supporting documents
How may I ask the reason for expedite?
They will take approximately 14 days to send an email reply.

Hello how are you guys?
Just got my NOA1 through text. I guess I'm the last one to get it.
Where do you find which service center you were assigned to? and do I need to make a uscis account?
Congratulations! With the first 3 letters you can know where your case is and if you would like you can create an account to get updates I get mine on text!

Please share any updates here

Different process of filing for the same visa. DCF simply means if you are eligible, you can file the petition overseas versus stateside. Much faster but only a select few are eligible
Got it thanks.

This effects Direct Consular Filing cases, but not K-1 or CR-1/IR-1 cases.
Isn’t direct consular filing same as IR1/CR1? I’m confused what does direct consular filing mean?

I would like to raise some issues. Ive been with some facebook groups, reading some articles, following USCIS processing time table. In their website ( uscis) , they are processing June 30, 2017. But in some fb groups, some oct., nov., dec. 2017 pd are having their approvals under CSC. How come we have to understand the timetable but their actions are unpredictable, random, that's why it is so confusing. I guess we could only guess which case they will approve first. Kinda frustrating to us who are waiting to be approve. Though the visa is current for f2a, it is senseless unless we are approve. Hope some people can enlighten us how the state will process our cases.
Its been 349 days since they received my case.
lpr petitioner ( husband)
i am beneficiary
pd: july2018
f2a
philippines
I know it is frustrating to wait for them to approve I130 and then wait for consular I have been in confusion too if being current helps our case to go forward and remove all the backlogs. If someone knows please share. Thanks

Hello,
I'm new on here and just coming across some info about the London Embassy is closing!?? Could someone please help clear things up? I have read several posts already and I'm so confused.
My situation is this:
Just moved back to the states and currently not working.
My fiance lives in the UK.
Planning on filing for K-1.
Currently looking for employment.
Questions:
1. Can I start the process and file the I-129F without a current job or is that an immediate denial?
2. When is the US Embassy in London no longer giving visa interviews/visas/closing?
3. If they close before he can get an interview, where will that take place?
Thank you
I hope it’s not true, my spouse will have an interview in London embassy. Please let me know if you know anything or any updates will help. Thanks.

Good day, I filed for my husband( i-130) in 2015, he went for his interview in 2016, case was denied under 221g( the counsellor doubted the marriage) and sent case back to USCIS for review and possible revocation. We rebutted the consular's findings and the case has been reaffirmed and sent back to the embassy for another interview. Question ; I have been outside the states for 2 and 1/2 years and unemployed(with 3 dependants) so coundnt file tax. I would like to know if that will be any issue this second time *though I ve a joint sponsor who's income qualifies*. Please advise. Thanks.
I believe the joint sponsor will work but I’m not 100 percent sure. Do you mind sharing the reason why it got denied? And what is the consulate country of the beneficiary just to get an idea thanks again.

Received a case got transferred email. My PD is Jan 2018. No idea which service center yet. Online status shows similar info.
I think they've transferred most if not all cases from November, December, January and up to February from CSC to somewhere else from what I seen based on reports from people all over the interwebz.
Every other service center "Receipt Date for Case inquiry" is above Feb 2018. Let's see how much traction we have in the next month or two.
Best case scenario for folks who got transferred, you get approved in a month or so and can somehow get past NVC in 2 months time before they evaluate F2A category "C" status again in September.
Best wishes and good luck! 🤞
Did you hear any updates from USCIS?

They are worst at processing.

Congratulations!
At the same time, F2A is now (well, as of 1 July) current for all applicants so I wonder if that helped/is the same thing anyway.
For future readers who may be looking for info - i presume the grandmother being talked about is a USC? Did you apply for expedite on humanitarian grounds? How long did the process take?
does it help consular processing too?
