  1. I filed my wife's AOS in Jan 2022, i just selected More than one trip and did nothing else, no documents or anything. even on my form I left city town country empty because it asked if you want to rcv it in some other country. You can look up at my timelines to get sense of it and also if you can kindly update your own time line as it is very beneficial for people here.
  2. It is unfortunate but no it will be impossible, (C) Controlled substance traffickers Any alien who the consular officer or the Attorney General knows or has reason to believe- (i) is or has been an illicit trafficker in any controlled substance or in any listed chemical (as defined in section 802 of title 21), or is or has been a knowing aider, abettor, assister, conspirator, or colluder with others in the illicit trafficking in any such controlled or listed substance or chemical, or endeavored to do so; or (ii) is the spouse, son, or daughter of an alien inadmissible under clause (i), has, within the previous 5 years, obtained any financial or other benefit from the illicit activity of that alien, and knew or reasonably should have known that the financial or other benefit was the product of such illicit activity, is inadmissible. https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM030204.html?utm_source https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title8-section1182&num=0&edition=prelim
  3. Should be 37000 But you can go to your local post office or call them for your area. That should suffice If the postal code is not being accepted by us travel docs website than is there a local option for pick up that you can utilize?
  4. Hopefully, you’ll receive your notice soon. Once you do, you can create an online account to track your progress on USCIS. Unless your case is particularly complex, most USCIS forms are straightforward, and there are plenty of resources to guide you through the process. Wishing you the best.
  5. If I may ask 1) Can you kindly update your timeline here (trust me it helps a lot) 2) What does it show on the USCIS website? Does it show the application received and that's all?
  6. are they saying that they do not have your I-129F? 🤔
  7. We filed my wife's I-751 petition last month, and thanks to this forum, we started collecting documentation from the moment she arrived in the U.S., knowing these documents would be needed at some point. For our submission, we included front and back copies of her Green Card, driver’s licenses showing the same address, and quarterly joint bank account statements. Since I couldn't add her to the mortgage, I immediately added her name to the utility bills upon her arrival. We also submitted credit card statements and a car insurance policy listing both of us (If you have it add this as well). Additionally, we included eight photos (four per page) documenting our travels together. Plus other proofs. One thing to keep in mind: don’t overthink or overcomplicate the process—you can only submit what you genuinely have. USCIS simply seeks sufficient evidence to confirm your marriage is bona fide. Focus on providing the strongest documentation available, and remember that quality matters more than quantity. Wishing you the best of luck with your petition!
  8. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-e-chapter-9 In cases involving foreign degrees, officers may favorably consider a credentials evaluation performed by an independent credentials evaluator who has provided a credible, logical, and well-documented case for such an equivalency determination that is based solely on the noncitizen’s foreign degree(s).[1] In addition, officers may accept a comparable evaluation performed by a school official who has the authority to make such determinations and is acting in his or her official capacity with the educational institution.[2] Officers should consider the opinions rendered by an education credential evaluator in conjunction with a review of the beneficiary’s relevant education credentials and other available credible resource material regarding the equivalency of the education credentials to college degrees obtained in the United States. Opinions rendered that are merely conclusory and do not provide a credible roadmap that clearly lays out the basis for the opinions are not persuasive. Any educational equivalency evaluation performed by a credentials evaluator or school official is solely advisory in nature; the final determination continues to rest with the officer.[3] https://www.state.gov/global-community-liaison-office/family-member-employment/family-member-employment-in-the-d-c-area/evaluation-of-foreign-degrees/?utm_source=chatgpt.com For federal employment, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the U.S. Department of Education provide guidelines on evaluating foreign education. They recommend that applicants submit their foreign credentials to private U.S. organizations for assessment, commonly known as credential evaluation services. These evaluations help determine if the foreign education is comparable to that received in accredited U.S. institutions. In short, they might accept your professor from NJ or maybe it does not hurt to get the equivalency done from one of the evaluation companies mentioned above by one of the poster. Good luck.
  9. Of course, Grandparent can adopt a child, that is not a bar but a very exhaustive process. I-600 is one way. I was trying to stress the fact that the pathways are there but they are very complicated, especially in OPs case. It would be best to consult with an experienced Immigration Attorney and maybe we all will be able to learn something. I also think we are deviating from the OP original question a little.
  10. What postal code are you using? which city?
  11. SIJS Orphan Adoption etc. As I mentioned, no special circumstances will be held in the OP case. She should talk to an experienced immigration attorney to explore the options.
  12. Both the K1 fiancé visa and the marriage-based immigrant visa (CR1/IR1) have their advantages. The K1 route lets you enter the U.S. as a fiancé(e) and marry within 90 days, after which you can file for adjustment of status to obtain permanent residency; this process might allow you to be together sooner, though you'll face additional steps like applying for a work permit. Conversely, if you marry abroad and apply for a CR1/IR1 visa, you'll be processed as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, and upon entry you receive a green card right away—but this option often involves longer processing times and additional consular steps.
