my daugther has received her approval letter today!!!

Thank you Brother.. this journey has been long and painful.. but as i always tell my wife.. and that is (anything worth having. will never come easy. and in a few years we can look back and be proud of ourselves )

Good afternoon, VJ. I just wanted to provide you with an update as this matter is coming to a close. Yesterday, my wife received her I-485 approval letter, and we are now just waiting for her green card, as well as our daughter’s green card, to arrive in the mail.

Good afternoon, I would like to provide a brief update regarding my wife’s immigration status. She has received a temporary I-551 card from USCIS, and we have been informed that her permanent green card, as well as our daughter’s card, is currently being produced. Based on our understanding, this represents a positive step forward. The temporary card states “Employment Authorized” and includes a coded identification from the immigration judge on the back, which appears to confirm that her permanent resident status has been approved while the official cards are being issued. This has been a long journey for our family, and we sincerely appreciate the support and assistance we have received from everyone involved. It has meant a great deal to us. Most importantly, my wife is feeling much less stressed, which is very important to our family. Thank you again for your continued support.

I agree with you. The individual you are referencing seems not to have submitted a letter of intent. Furthermore, as we both know, in many cases, no engagement ceremony should take place, as such an event could be construed as a marriage ceremony.

Good morning, everyone. I just want to take a moment out of our busy lives to wish you all a happy holiday season and a wonderful New Year for you and your families. As many VJ veterans already know, the immigration process can be incredibly stressful and can really take a toll on us. That said, it’s important to pause when we can, take a breath, decompress, and enjoy this holiday season with the people we love. Happy Holiday to All

maybe married certicate

You already know the feeling..!

Thank you for your kind words, and thank you to VJ as well for all the support I’ve received throughout the years. Although my wife and I still have a journey ahead of us, I’m grateful that this part of the process is now behind us. On a side note, my wife misses her mother and father very much. On our way home, she called them to share the news, and now we are trying to make plans for her to travel back home to see her elderly parents. During her time here, my wife was unable to attend her grandmother’s funeral, which was a crushing blow for us.

I know, right!!!

At that moment, my wife was released from the witness stand, and we embraced, overwhelmed with relief, as the court acknowledged the ruling. The judge further stated on the record that he regretted that this case had proceeded to court, noting that it could have been resolved administratively with minimal effort. He admonished government counsel against bringing unnecessary matters before the court. The judge then advised my wife that if her Permanent Resident Card is not received within a few weeks, she should contact her attorney, who may then contact the court directly. The proceedings concluded with the judge offering congratulations and an apology for the undue burden imposed by the case. We are profoundly grateful and relieved. The matter has been resolved, and justice was served. (We were told by our lawyer she will email us the judges decison as soon as possible, just to have )

(Important Update) Good morning. As some of you are aware, my wife and I appeared in court yesterday regarding her immigration matter. We traveled approximately two hours to Northern Virginia, departing our home at 7:30 a.m. for a scheduled 10:30 a.m. hearing. We arrived at the courthouse at approximately 9:30 a.m., completed security screening, and proceeded to the courtroom. Upon arrival, we were instructed to wait for our attorney. She arrived at approximately 10:00 a.m. This was our first in-person meeting, as her office is located in Northern Virginia. After a brief introduction, counsel entered the courtroom to notify the court of our presence. Counsel later advised us that there would be a delay of approximately 20–30 minutes due to the judge presiding over another matter. After that period, we were called into the courtroom. My wife, our attorney, and I appeared before the court. The judge requested identification from the respondent and entered appearances for both parties. From the outset, the judge appeared focused and attentive, particularly in addressing government counsel. The judge then called my wife to the witness stand, where she was sworn in. The court questioned our attorney regarding the completion of background and security checks for my wife and our daughter before they entered into the United States. The judge reviewed the records in detail and directed government counsel to review the same documentation. Government counsel was then allowed to question my wife. The questions posed were limited in number and scope, and all directly reflected information already contained in the Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Following this examination and review of the record, the judge rendered an oral decision. The court stated: “I grant your Adjustment of Status, effective immediately.” At that moment, my wife was released from the witness stand, and we embraced, overwhelmed with relief, as the court acknowledged the ruling. The judge further stated on the record that he regretted that this case had proceeded to court, noting that it could have been resolved administratively with minimal effort. He admonished government counsel against bringing unnecessary matters before the court. The judge then advised my wife that if her Permanent Resident Card is not received within a few weeks, she should contact her attorney, who may then contact the court directly. The proceedings concluded with the judge offering congratulations and an apology for the undue burden imposed by the case. We are profoundly grateful and relieved. The matter has been resolved, and justice was served. (We were told by our lawyer she will email us the judges decison as soon as possible, just to have )

You will need to obtain a Certificate of Disposition from the clerk’s office where the case was originally presented. They will charge like 20.00 dollars.. simple

The Trump administration’s crackdown on legal immigration is making it tougher for foreign professionals - doctors, engineers, professors, artists - to get permission to work and live in the United States. Federal authorities are denying more of certain work visas and green cards, vetting professionals’ social media platforms, and applying enhanced scrutiny to foreign employees’ credentials and work plans in the United States, according to interviews with 15 immigration attorneys, a federal official and three policy analysts. Visa holders also have been subject to more searches, interrogations and denials of entry at airports and border crossings, as well as deportation proceedings and visits to their employers by federal agents, the attorneys and experts said.
