  1. Estimated times on MyProgress can be ignored. They are not accurate. On day of my oath, estimated time to decision was 3 weeks. @Rhema1 saw 11 months until decision on day of the oath. If you search Visa Journey, you will see many reports of this not being accurate. There is no exact science to estimating processing times. No free or paid tool can predict it accurately, because there are too many variables. Currently, we see I-130 taking anywhere between 12 and 17 months for most cases. So you can get approval tomorrow or in the next 3-4 months and there is no way of telling for sure.
  2. Hopefully, not just filled, but also filed. If you are seeking Advance Parole, and adjusting status based on family (marriage to US citizen, etc), the fee is $630 for paper form or $580 for online. How much did you pay for EAD (form I-765)?
  3. Typically, yes. Spouses though (CR-1 / IR-1) are typically not affected. However, even with spousal visa, beneficiary may be put in super long / indefinite admin processing. But at least it's not a black & white outright ban.
  4. You do, especially if filing under 3 years and still have I-751 pending. If you file online, just submit marital evidence, it is low effort.
  5. You can ignore the agents. They are low paid workers who only want to finish conversation as fast as they can. They will say anything to you so you stop bothering them.
  6. You get interview first, before any decision. If you filed this month, you can expect at least 6 months of wait for the entire adjudication. According to processing times published here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Chicago is 7.5 months for 80% of cases. And as a reminder, you will get some wild random estimates in MyProgress inside your account. Do not trust those estimates, they are not accurate. On day of my oath, it showed 3 weeks until decision. I believe @Rhema1 saw 11 months until decision on day of the oath. Considering your country of origin, your case may take longer. Good luck!
  7. Yep, things change daily nowadays
  8. Have you provided proof of US citizenship / LPR status for both sponsors?
  9. Yes, you need to provide all docs to establish eligibility. If something is out of order, you'd be in admin processing. What all did you provide in support of main sponsor's I-864 and joint sponsor's I-864?
  10. MyProgress estimates cannot be trusted. On day of my oath, MyProgress predicted 3 weeks until decision on my case, which was nonsense.
  11. Because they are not convinced the joint sponsor is eligible. Make sure to submit everything
