  1. Looks like you were right. 3 business days still nothing. I saw a number of people on various social media reporting similar things recently.
  2. It just appeared in the Documents section and you happened to check? Or, did you get another email or SMS?
  3. Bummer. I was hoping we were one of a lucky NBC.
  4. 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?
  5. Clean up your timeline. It says you filed I-751 after N-400
  6. What about a Returning Resident Visa? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/returning-resident.html#1 https://in.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/returning-resident-visa/
  7. Maybe this is a dumb question but how will they know it's the same person? Won't the passport number be different in the new passport?
  8. the beneficiary should have received an email from NVC
  9. There was a Jan. 2025 filer who got approved on Feb. 28th. National Benefits Center. They didn't clarify if they were military or not. If not military, then that's crazy fast.
  10. Wouldn't the original I-130 filed still be good? I thought only I-485s are abandoned if you leave before advance parole??
  11. If you applied for AOS in Aug. 2024, wouldn't you have filed an I-130? That I-130 is still good I believe. I think only the I-485 is abandoned.
  12. After USCIS approves the I-130, the case is sent to the NVC. After you're Documentarily Qualified at NVC, the case will be sent to the Consulate in Cuidad Juarez for interview. The Consulate can't issue the visa until the ban is over. So, you can go to the interview under 5 years, get denied, then try for a waiver. Or, say it takes 1.5 years at USCIS for the I-130 approval. Then, you can keep the case active at NVC like @pushbrk said by contacting them at least once a year, then as you approach your 5 year mark, submit your documents and get Documentarily Qualified which will then send your case to the consulate. I think Juarez is one of the longest waits for an interview (like 1 year) so you may not want to bother with the waiver.
  13. I think you pretty much got everything covered in terms of marrying in the US (highly recommend) and starting the I-130 while still here (good idea, why waste time?). One optional tip, citizens of Japan with ESTA can apply for Global Entry. It'll make your spouse's visits to the US far easier. My wife had Global Entry with her B1/B2 and visiting was a breeze.
