We could've submitted Dec. 1st but didn't get it in until Dec. 11th. I have this feeling that had we gotten it in earlier, we would have made it before the new policy and gotten approved without interview.
I was searching the Visa Journey I-751 timelines. I sorted by NOA1 (newest first to oldest last) looking for the last timeline that had an I-751 only (non-combo) interview and it must have been a very long time ago because I gave up.
Today spouse got a 2nd "We have taken an action on your case" email. Logged in and saw "Interview scheduled" status change and an interview letter under documents.

My wife (from India with B1/B2) and my brother's wife (with ESTA) visited the US multiple times each during their consular processing in 2022.
I think a parent would actually be less worrisome to CBP. Less chance of working illegally since they are older. More ties to the home country.
You can both make Advance Directives listing each other as health care agents. Your local hospital chain probably has a form to make it easy for you and will file it for y'all with the national registry.
My wife got an email "We have taken an action on your case." but when she logs into myUSCIS, there's no update and no new document under "Documents." Is this a glitch or how long does it take to get an update on myUSCIS?
