Awesome. Thanks so much! It looks like USCIS is asking for "Online Access Code" in order to register to track the status of the case, which I never received previously. I have requested a replacement one.. so hopefully, I can track the status after I get it. Appreciate the help.

Thanks! Sorry, Whats an IOE receipt number? Is that the receipt number from I-130 or I-140 application? When I entered the I140 receipt number on myUSCIS website, it just said that the application has been forwarded to dept of state for processing.

Does anyone know where to track the production, printing of Green Card and finally mailing of it via USPS? I have paid the immigrant visa fees and entered US already on immigrant visa.

What about importing cars or other household items? Do we need to declare everything during first visa activation visit? Also, how much time do we generally have before final move to the US. I will need to sell my house or rent it out, wife needs to find a new job, etc. which may take some time.

Thanks! I filed with PIC law. The cost is 4500-5000USD depending on the complexity of the case. All the best!

I appreciate you sharing the informative links regarding the criteria for placing individuals on AP. Nevertheless, I respectfully disagree with the assertion made in the articles that cases are typically resolved within 30 days. There is compelling evidence indicating that AP cases involving DS-5535 requests have experienced prolonged waiting periods, extending for several months or even years, before obtaining clearance. In many instances, individuals are left with no alternative but to pursue costly writ of mandamus (WOM) lawsuits against the government. Yes, my case was approved last month after a WOM lawsuit.

Does anyone know if the newborn child (4-month old) needs to appear for an interview at Montreal? Me and my wife had interview in Montreal in September when she was 7 months pregnant. But like other in this group, we were put on DS-5535. We filed for WOM in Jan, and received request for second medical last month and Montreal added our newborn to the application but wants to interview the child. I have sent an email to Montreal consulate but have not received a response yet. Does anyone know if I need to take my child to the interview in Montreal or can one of the parents be available in Montreal on her behalf for the interview? It will be tough to travel with a 4 month old for a one hour interview, if it's not required.

We were put in Admin processing at the end of September, so about 4 months into AP, we filed for WOM. We were told by PIC law that the earliest one can apply for WOM is after 60 days. Hope this helps!

We just filed our WOM late last month with PIC law. My experience has been really positive up until now. You deal directly with the lawyers and not paralegals, with extremely quick responses to any questions/concerns. The great part was they are super-fast in the filing of WOM, after we submitted our docs, they filed the WOM in 3 business days. Best wishes for your WOM!

Appreciate you sharing the expected timeline. Just curious, other than redoing the medical, what other additional documentation did the consulate request? My understanding was that all the documents that were needed were already submitted at the time of the interview.
-
Thanks! I'm planning to have a consult with them. So, from a timeline perspective, we are potentially looking at 2 months + another 2 months of extension, so a total of 4 months. And hopefully if approved, redoing the medical - another 30 days? By the time I have a stamped visa on my passport could take a total of 5 months from WOM file date? Am I summarizing this tentative timelines correctly?

Folks that got their WOM filed by the lawyer, what are the normal steps of progression & anticipated timelines after the lawsuit has been filed? Just trying to understand what does the complete end-to-end process look like? I'm planning to file WOM with PIC law. I believe the cost is similar to Hacking law group but the payment needs to be made in full at the start, no payment plan option.
