    List all the names in Other Names Used. You’re going to have a real issue with the BC and passport being different.

    Haha, that’s exactly what my CO at MTL said too. “Some people like to format it really nice but you don’t need to do that”

    The embassies will have a difficult time grasping that concept 😅

    It’s likely because your husband is applying for a non-immigrant visa but is in every position (married to US citizen) to immigrate. Lots of people try to bypass the immigrant visa process via non-immigrant visas, and upon arrival in the US adjust their status. I don’t think you have any options here aside from applying for spousal visa. I think if you keep trying for the B it would be a waste of time unfortunately.

    Usually it’s the same CO that adjudicates your case in the end, after they’ve received your clearance from the number of other agencies that are now involved. There’s some guidance about this in 9FAM. Remember that the 221g slip you received at interview leaves out your CO’s name - I’m inclined to believe this is intentional. Unfortunately, connecting with the consulate or even directly with the CO likely won’t get you anywhere - they’re waiting on your security clearance, and they won’t waive it in almost all circumstances. If I’m not mistaken, if you were issued at interview and waited until after your 2 year anniversary to cross, you would’ve been converted anyway. Seems like a lot of effort on their part for your benefit, when they could have just told you to wait a little bit before crossing and then issued your visa.

    Good catch!

    You should pay the fee before entering the US on your visa. You can also pay the fee after, but it will delay your card. Your visa will have an expiry date, enter before that date.

    Congratulations! Thanks for coming back to update after being issued

    Yeah, if you were refused because of something missing it’s pretty straightforward. Bad timing with the holidays, and an embassy that seems to move in slow motion - I wouldn’t be too worried. It should resolve soon.
  10. throwitaway
    Did you have a missing medical or document? It takes them like 6 weeks minimum to review that stuff once it comes in.

    Same same, application received/ready/approved on CEAC is still for NIV if I’m not mistaken
  12. throwitaway
    That’s probably because Application Ready status is for non-immigrant visas, and a lot of us here are on immigrant visas. K1 is still technically non-immigrant, even though you’re expected to marry and adjust status once you’re there.

    This is one of their most used template replies.

    I think some people find it unfair that those with the means can file a writ and “jump” the queue. Some have suffered a lot in their immigration journey, so they want others to suffer like they did. I think others are genuinely uninformed about immigration litigation. But seeing vets here who I have so much respect for say things like “it can force a no” is so disappointing. It’s just not true. Even the mention of consular non-reviewability, as if it’s relevant in this situation. You can’t challenge a decision that hasn’t been made.

    Sure. Pacermonitor, every single mandamus court docket that ends with a voluntary dismissal from plaintiff. Thousands.
  16. throwitaway
    Good choice. Mandamus can be controversial around here so take everything you see with a grain of salt. Personally, I know mandamus isn’t a cure-all, but it’s damn well effective for the vast majority of filers.
  17. throwitaway
    Anyone refused at the end of mandamus was going to get refused anyway. It’s been three years, mandamus should have been filed a long time ago.
  18. throwitaway
    It’s been a mix for sure.
  19. throwitaway
    This is dependent on the visa type. They’re transitioning all of them to this eventually. DV still has a physical packet you have to bring.
  20. throwitaway
    Updates that close together, this far from the interview, and at this stage of WoM are really good things. I know you’re protecting yourself from disappointment, but objectively this is actually good. Give yourself permission to be hopeful, don’t let them win.
  21. throwitaway
    If you’re in AP you’re in 221g, unless your CEAC actually shows Administrative Processing. Approved where? Verbally by CO at interview? Unfortunately that doesn’t mean nearly as much as your actual status
  22. throwitaway
    This can happen right before it changes to issued. Congrats!

    Do you mean your vaccination worksheet? It’s for your own records only, not super important.
  24. throwitaway
    For what it’s worth, my partner and I had access to our I-94 just a few months ago, but when we became permanent residents recently the records were removed from the portal.
  25. throwitaway
    Nothing, they are the same. Have you filled it out yet? Your interview was in October, you should have gotten the DS5535 by now.
