  1. Hi everyone! I filed AOS June 23rd (I am in Michigan, so maybe that is part of the reason?) and I got the EAD approval notice today! It was under the documents section in my USCIS account, the case status has NOT changed yet, though! I had just read online, I believe yesterday on Reddit *and* on this app called Lawfully that USCIS has been approving applications and adding the documents under the "documents section" but they only update the actual case status a week or so later. So - if any of you are waiting for your approvals, I thought I'd share this tip that I've found with you and I hope it helps even one person! ❤️ Ps: I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like in my own account in case anyone needs to see.
  2. Soooo - the interview has already been waived! WOW! This whole case has been processing for less than a month! How can this be? Any ideas?!
  3. Yes, paid for the i-130 separately, my husband filed it online and it was $530 I believe. So it's all paid for, that's why I'm very confused about the rejection letter....
  4. The check was for $1225 total, i.e. for the adjustment of status and biometrics. We just checked the transactions in the bank account app right now and the check was cashed 07/10/2023, it all went through. So we are confused as to why we got this rejection notice which is dated 07/11/2023, the day AFTER they cashed the check... So confusing! This rejection notice essentially says that this center cannot process the information or correspondence that we sent and that they'll send it all back to us. But on July 21, I was sent a notice that I'm scheduled for biometrics! How can this be? I don't understand what's happening, so anyone's help is greatly appreciated! ❤️🙏
  5. I am in Michigan and I sent it to the Elgin Lockbox in Illinois. On the USCIS website, they said that if you live in MI, to send it to the Elgin Lockbox in IL. I think that Elgin sent this notice because USCIS transferred our case to NBC? On the biometrics appointment dated 07/21/2023, it said that the center is now NBC -- so maybe that's why? Thank you!
  6. Hi everyone! USCIS cashed the check for the adjustment of status and biometrics fees on the 10th or 11th of July - and they scheduled me 2 days ago for biometrics on 08/08/2023. Today I checked the mail and I received a rejection notice from the USCIS office where I applied -- I don't understand why they sent the rejection notice and the check if they scheduled me for biometrics? Has this happened to anyone else? Looking forward to your answers, thank you.
  7. Last year I got pregnant right after we got married, I wanted to keep the baby, he kept saying that we can't afford it and that we are apart, so I should have an abortion. It was an extremely hard decision for me because I wanted to keep it, he kept saying that he'll be "a deadbeat dad" (actual quote from him). So now I'm realizing he was letting me know he won't be there if that's the line of reasoning he seemingly went down on. So, I felt pressured to have an abortion... A couple nights ago I confessed about how I'm still hurting mentally from that whole experience last year, and somehow, I don't remember exactly how it all happened because it was a heated argument... he said something along the lines of that his ex girlfriend didn't have an abortion and she simply drank and smoked her baby to death, and that I should *somehow* feel better for doing it the humane way. **But I didn't want to have an abortion AT ALL**. I feel like my heart has been ripped in half ever since the abortion, and he simply refuses to understand, and I should understand that he will likely never change. This is why we argued - it's this discussion and seemingly every discussion that turns into an argument. Every day...
  8. I'll be honest -- we've been arguing every day ever since I've posted this. I don't know that I haven't fought for this love, I'd say that I definitely did, but it's really tiring that I have come to a point to need to record him due to the lies... Simply to show I'm not going crazy, he's just straight up lying to me and gaslighting me. I don't know how I can keep fighting for this... I can barely get out of bed from how depressed it gets me😔
  9. Thank you very much, sir, for the advice! To answer your questions: 1. From where I stand, I wouldn't have put this much love and energy into our marriage if I didn't think it could work for us. But last night, given that he basically showed me how much he resents me by calling me a b....., I think it's time to realize that it takes two grown adults to keep a marriage going, and that I can't make up for both of us. 2. At this point, I'll be honest, I reached a point where I don't know anymore where I want to live or what to do, because it feels like this is the rock bottom. I'll stay in this country as long as I still believe that our marriage is worth fighting for... But it feels like a limbo situation at this moment because we haven't even spoken to each other since yesterday, so I do not know where he personally stands on whether he has given up on us or is ready to be a man and a husband... Time will tell.
  10. It isn't the first big fight, there have been other fights/arguments, but this is the first time he crossed a line and I am disappointed it happened. It is the first time trying to organize our finances together. And, yes, we still aren't talking. He said last night "I'm sorry I called you a (removed)", but I honestly don't believe he is - it didn't feel like an apology at all. If he was sorry, he would step up and treat his wife better. I know I'd do that if I really cared about the person in front of me. He doesn't seem to be willing to work on the issues, he keeps saying that he doesn't see the point because, from where he stands, I am the person who doesn't at all care about him. But his "justification" just seems circular. I am extremely mentally exhausted, to be completely frank....
  11. I appreciate this advice so much - wise and levelheaded. I will not rush😊
  12. Now that some hours have passed from the argument, it's the next day, I definitely see your point - I'll take some time to think about it and to understand what happened ❤️ And yes, someone asked if the fight just happened, it did - last night before going to sleep...
  13. This went straight to my heart, thank you very much for every word! Means a lot.
