I don't think I know the exact answers. I do remember reading that the IOE numbers are not necessarily assigned in order. For example, your number may be IOE09-15010000, and the next case received on the same date could be IOE09-16080000. So don't think that your IOE group number all have the similar received dates or priority dates. But over time, you should see each IOE group become more green approved. So right now, the I-765 have more green than the I-485. The yellow processing on the I-485, I assume, are those having completed the biometrics and "being actively reviewed". The graphs only save the last 1-week of updates, so you can compare the number of green approved from a week ago to now to get an idea of any movements in your IOE group. The earlier IOE numbers for the I-485 seem to have higher proportions of green, and again remember that the IOE numbers do not necessarily correspond to the receive dates. Incidentally, if you look at the graphs on the computer, there is a pretty slick slider at the bottom to zoom in on certain ranges. And as @grant2 says, it seems random.

Don't know about other groups besides these monthly filer groups on Visajourney. I do track some Facebook and Reddit groups that's not real specific to particular group numbers. But for the IOE number data, I check https://www.casestatusext.com/forms/I-485/IOE-LB https://www.casestatusext.com/forms/I-765/IOE-LB Edit: Maybe I misunderstood? Are you wanting to track I-129F or I-485?

You need to figure out how to categorize your interest earnings from your bank account to pay the US taxes or to claim foreign status? You and your spouse will have to decide whether to file jointly or separately or to claim you as a dependent? That may have some bearings on tax filings if you had foreign earnings last year before coming to the US since the IRS count the filing based on the calendar year regardless of immigration status.

Are you a non-US citizen that transferred to your US bank account? If so, then the bank may ask you to fill out the W-8BEN to determine how to file your interests earnings with the IRS https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/790033-w-8ben-for-k1-to-aos-filer/

July filer here. Going on 8 months waiting for AOS. Atlanta FO wait time has increased to 35 months. At this point, I'm hoping for the 10-year GC since we will have been married over 2 years by then.

As mentioned, boyfriend of a green card holder has no family status. Your options are to get married to the green card holder, and file as a spouse of the green card holder, OR file individually on your own merit for student visa, work visa, etc.

I just checked with my filipina spouse. Last year before she came to the US, she downloaded the CFO certificate that had a QR code. She did not have the CFO sticker, even though she had the email saying the sticker would be sent to her a few weeks later. She did not wait for the sticker before coming to the US. I did a quick scan of the QR code and all it does is copy the certificate number, not forward to any site with special permission, etc.

Greetings Everyone, We are K1-to-AOS filers with the EAD/AP combo card in hand and waiting for the AOS approval/interview. The foreign spouse's passport is in the maiden name. The I-485 AOS was filed with the marriage name with the maiden name passport and the US marriage certificate. The EAD/AP combo card is in the marriage name. My questions are: 1. Is there any advantage to update the foreign passport to the marriage name with the foreign spouse's embassy in the US? 2. If the foreign passport is updated to the marriage name, what additional paperwork/forms should we file with the USCIS with the new passport? 3. Is it better to wait till after receiving the green card before updating the foreign passport to the marriage name? 4. If we travel with the maiden name passport with US marriage certificate and EAD/AP combo card marriage name, should the flight ticket be booked with the maiden name or the marriage name? Thanks in advance for any response(s).

Do a search for "CFO" in the upper right search box. Most results seem random hit-or-miss depending on the CFO officer, not based on any particular criteria for passing. The CFO sticker is designed to protect the filipina from abusive foreigners to human trafficking, and it is purely at the discretion of the CFO officer to grant the sticker or not. Some have suggested if the filipina shows strong self-confidence to the CFO, then that shows she can stand up for herself and have better chance for approval. What seems consistent is if the filipina fails with one CFO, she needs to keep applying with another CFO until she passes. So persistence is the key, and it is very possible the departure flight needs to be delayed until she passes. There have even been stories of filipina with the CFO sticker but were denied boarding by the airline. My K1 beneficiary had a CFO interview and the officer just said to come back next time. Next available spot was 3 weeks later. She kept calling for a different CFO and was eventually granted a sticker by another CFO officer a few days later.

1. Depends on which Port-Of-Entry 2. For K1 entry, the electronic I-94 will be available online after 1-3 days. It may be available sooner nowadays? https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home 3. Yes. Get the SSN after getting the I-94 You can look at my Timeline or Profile to see the steps we did.

Hello Everyone, I suspect all those on Visajourney for marriage-based visas can relate to the recent trend "Passport Bros". Just search #passportbros on TikTok. To be fair, many US citizen women here on Visajourney are also sponsoring marriage-based visas for foreign spouses. I'm curious if anyone knows where in Visajourney or in the USCIS database to find the Male/Female ratio of foreign fiancées or foreign spouses for K1 or CR1/IR1? Can include same-sex marriages? My observational guess is that there are more Female foreign fiancées or foreign spouses being sponsored than Male? But I'm curious as to the actual ratios. Thanks in advance for any responses.
