  1. I appreciate the help, after I get my green card in hand, she will be my next focus.
  2. For both questions, the main issue is that my mom just needs to file ASAP. She doesn’t have any inadmissibility issues since she’s married to a U.S. citizen and hasn’t been in trouble. I explained to the USCIS officer that it was due to financial reasons, and she understood. The officer asked if I’ve worked illegally, but I only babysat, which doesn’t count as an actual job, so I’m fine. She also asked why it took so long, and I told her it was finances and that I’m now taking steps to move forward with my life. She asked if my stepdad was abusive, and I said no. Most of the other questions were standard ones from the application (like gang affiliation, etc.). I shared how this process has made me feel like my life is on hold, and I got emotional. The officer was very understanding and said, “You are not getting deported.” She added that normally my mom would need to file for me, but she would talk to their lawyers to see if there are any loopholes given my unique situation. The officer recognized I’ve been here almost my whole life and that the U.S. is my home. She said if it were up to her, she’d approve me right away.
  3. Not much has happened since my interview at the end of 2023—it had been pending ever since. I’m incredibly relieved that everything has now been approved, especially ahead of any potential changes. I was just about to begin the renewal process for my Work Authorization, as I’m within 180 days of its expiration. The interview itself was fairly straightforward, with seemingly standard questions and no supervisor involvement or RFE. The interviewer was kind, understanding of my circumstances, and likely played a role in helping resolve my case. I did receive my advanced parole document about 2.5 months ago, but given the election and its results, I decided against using it.

  4. Following up on this thread many months later, I have just gotten noticed that my permanent residence card has been shipped, and I have been approved for a green card! At the interview for my green card they mentioned without the situation for my mom I would have gotten approved immediately, but as a result the USCIS lawyers were looking at my case to find a way to get me approved. I heard nothing about this, no updates anywhere, nothing even from local representatives. But my case did move to "3 months remaining", about 3 months ago, then moved back to "14 months remaining", until I got the approval a few days ago. Just for clarification, my mother has not applied, nor intends to, to my knowledge. @Family - Thank you for the help, I really and truly appreciate it very much! No lawyers, but a lot of time spent learning how things worked, and after 2.5 years from submission to a few days ago, I was successful.
  5. Following up on this thread a few months later. I had my biometrics appointment Dec 2022, and after waiting a number of months I received my EAD, and now have my green card interview scheduled. Initially, It was scheduled for Aug 2023, but got a cancellation notice and then a follow-up scheduling for Sep 2023 (shortly after making this post). Putting together all the required documents now and wanted to post an update thanking VisaJourney and the members for all the help. Hopefully, I will have another good update to post in a few days of confirmation after the interview that my green card will be approved!
  6. When I was a child, under 10 years old, I was brought to the United States with a K-2 Visa and have been here ever since (am now slightly older than 21). My K-1 visa mother married my stepfather during the 90 day period, but they never went through the application process for the green card for my mom or myself. They have not made any progress on my, or my mom's behalf, so I am taking things into my own hands as I would like to get my green card so I can finish school, gain employment and travel. I am hoping to be able to complete all required documentation with minimal involvement to get signatures, proof documents, etc. from my stepdad and mom. From free consultations I have gotten a list of documents that I need to complete including I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864, etc. I am getting these completed and going to be talking with some free resources I have access through college that I attended for a period of time. Just to help my anxiety, if I go through this process and get denied at the end, what are the chances I get sent back to my mothers home country that I have very little relation to. Any tips and advice, as I wasn't able to find any similar posts to this situation, would be helpful. I think this is similar to the Matter of Le case from 2011. Thank you.
