  1. I went to the website of one of the senators of my state and went to help with federal agencies and then help with immigration I filled out a form and then one of the staff will contact you… Or you can find their number, call and leave a message saying you need help with USCIS and leave your number and email and they will contact you This is how my senator’s office did things: They sent you a privacy form to complete basically giving them permission to talk to USCIS on your behalf. You fill out info like receipt number and names and stuff and then you write a message with what they can do to help. You can say it has been over 15 months and the case has still not been processed or something along those lines. Print, sign, scan, and email back. Then they will let you know when USCIS replies to them.
  2. I went through my Senator’s office when we hit the 14.5 month mark and literally the next day was approved for my mother’s case. Did not need to spend a single penny. Not everyone has the ability to pay for a lawyer, so they should know about the other options for help available that don’t require any or a lot of money ☺️
  3. If you are still waiting try contacting the senator's office and tell them it's past the processing time and you would like them to contact USCIS for you
  4. Guys I hope you can help me or guide me where I can ask for help. Now my mother's case is at NVC and we just completed the DS-260 form. And because she lived in Canada and Saudia Arabia 30 years ago, they now want police certificates from those countries. Does anyone know if I can get them online or do I have to be physically in those countries to apply? Should I just choose the "Not Available" option in ceac? Will that cause issues? Please help!
  5. I'm having problems getting ceac to open at all! I put in the case number and it brings an error page. I'm using chrome. Should I use safari or something?
  6. I got the Approval for my mom's case on November 19, 2024 (with a little help from the senators office)
  7. Any idea on what papers and documents I should take with me? That is what I am stuck on. Do I need my taxes and do I need the joint sponsors as well?
  8. In the Visa Navigator, Sudan is included as well.
  9. The U.S. Embassy in Cairo is currently able to accept certain emergency filings of immigrant visa I-130/I-600 petitions for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens who are normally resident in the consular districts of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Beirut and have not yet filed an immigrant visa petition with USCIS What I understood from this is it is for US Citizens with relatives living in the areas mentioned. OnlyU.S. citizens physically present in Cairo may file at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo for their qualifying spouses, unmarried children under 21, adopted children, and parents who have fled these consular districts. As for this, it is not mentioned that I must be living in Cairo, only physically present. Please let me know if my understanding is wrong.
  10. There is currently no embassy in Khartoum due to the war going on in Sudan, which is why they have the emergency filing for Sudanese relatives of US citizens. I tried to an expedite for my mother but they had refused even though it was for humanitarian reasons. So we waited the 14.5 months. I would like to try this for my father since I am the only child they have and I would like them to be away from the war zone.
  11. Yes they say physically present but don’t define that we must live there or have a job there. I am planning to go and bring my father to Egypt as well to do this. I sent an email and they asked for my birth certificate and now asked to provide the entry stamp to Egypt so they can schedule the appointment. I’m trying to prepare the paperwork needed and know more info about DCF works since I only did my spouse and my mother online.
  12. My mother was not an emergency filing. That was not an option at the time. So it took 14.5 months. Currently we can file 2023 taxes since 2024 cannot be filed yet. I am a US citizen born in the US. So I need to bring my joint sponsors documents as well? Will I need to fill out the affidavit of support as well?
  13. The US embassy in Cairo has an emergency filing for US Citizens who has family in Sudan, Gaza, Lebanon, and Tel Aviv (conflict zones) I filed for my mother online and it took 14.5 months to get the i-130 approval
