Legal Alien

Still nothing here. I'm getting a bit impatient. I've seen people who filed much later already getting their green cards or at least interviews. Still nothing here. 😞

Neither do I.

Congratulations!

I'm in Michigan and from what I understood is that you're not allowed to drive on a foreign DL when entering on a K1. So I haven't been driving since I entered a year ago. I do hope my SSN and GC will be arriving quickly as it is starting to get annoying.

Yes it would, I answered in the other thread as my situation is alike. When is the last time you received any vaccines?

No you don't. If you are applying for a vaccine waiver based on religious convictions, all you send in is your AOS papers, your DS-3025 that is incomplete (mine was incomplete as I only received vaccines as a child) which you get a copy of from your CS in Canada you went to, and your waiver with your statement explaining why it is against your religious convictions, possibly statements from family members, friends and/or church members and you send all that together in one package with 2 checks (one for your AOS and one for your waiver) to USCIS. Unless you also apply for AP and EAD (I didn't because the waiver was costly enough!), that should be all. I was confused like you, it looked like I needed to see a CS here in the USA to just check the box that I would file for a waiver on form 693, but when I called they would only do that if I would redo the whole exam, which is ridiculous since I had it all done in The Netherlands. So I did not file 693 at all. USCIS already has my medical from the US, and the incomplete vaccine record is what I filed the waiver for. I filed in July and still no green card so I don't have an update yet other than doing my biometrics, but this is how I did it and others before me who had shared it with me. I am assuming you are missing more than one vaccine?

Any good news for any of the July filers? I still have not received anything after I did my biometrics beginning of September.

Unless you don't want to receive any vaccinations and file a waiver based on religious or moral conviction. I came on K1, did my medical in The Netherlands and filed a vaccine waiver on religious grounds together with my AOS and vaccine sheet (DS-something, 2035?). If people have genuine convictions against the vaccines they have that option, but only if they can provide enough credible evidence that they are against ALL vaccines. So if you had vaccines recently it will be harder (not impossible!) then when you only received them as a child, like me. But if you REALLY don't want to receive any more, it's your only option. I didn't have to get the Covid vaccin when I had my medical, it was not available anymore so the CS thought she could administer the others I missed. They're honestly assuming you just take them, I even felt some pressure and the CS seemed misinformed because she said my visa might have been denied, which is not true in case of non-immigrant visas. So I had to explain I didn't want any at all and that I'd be filing a waiver. Same should be possible from abroad, but I think you then have to wait for denial based on inadmissibility to file the waiver.

I did the exact same thing, pretty sure we're all getting that same RFE.

Congrats! There surely is movement. Still patiently waiting here!

Good news, congrats!

I know I could have. But I wasn't in a hurry so I requested it with my AOS.

Sounds like we'll just get someone to handle this for us!

I requested an SSN through my I-485 and have not received my SSN yet either.

Oh following! I had the exact same question, only difference is I do not have my Green Card yet.

I had no idea the files of 6/28 to 7/11 were skipped. I will keep an eye on that thread as well although I noticed that's mainly I-129F petitions an not so much AOS it seems, unless I missed those. So your info is helpful, thanks.

Oh I am sorry, maybe I have presented myself as a low IQ individual, let me further explain myself. Just because I do not have nearly 5K posts on here or have immigrated to the US before and am not 100% in the loop of everything, doesn't mean I am dumb. If you tell me to check your link, I ASSURE you I checked your link. That link, if I put in 'I-485', 'Family-Based' and 'Detroit', gives me a big block on the screen that says 80% completed within 11.5 months. I don't even know where to check estimates in 'my account', I don't have estimates in my account. Please next time you might tone it down a little bit on the 'I know better just because I have 5K posts so I can therefore ASSUME you are looking on the wrong page and not just roll my eyes but roll my whole head' attitude. You provided me with 1 link. I checked that link and nowhere do I even see the 16 months you mention on there. So either you gave me a wrong link, or you are simply mistaken and not me. It is really a shame that long time members with a high post count often have the attitude that people with a low post count automatically have a low IQ. Not inviting for new members to join and post.

Nah, still says 11.5 months for me.

Not a clue where to even find any of that. 11.5 months. I do believe I said I am not in a hurry, so certainly not impatient. I know what the normal timeline is but when you see people getting approved in 2-3 months at LFO's that usually have a longer waiting time, and you don't get any updates and don't know how it all works exactly because it's not something you usually do more than once in your life, you just want to make sure you haven't missed an RFE. Hence my question if you should see that in your case update just so I know that it should be there. I realize it's not perfect but if it is not updated in my case as is usual AND I have not received anything then I should be safe to assume that I have not (yet) received an RFE. Thank you.

I filed AOS on July 5th. I have not checked the forum in a while due to circumstances and I was just told about this. I can't believe my luck! I am already here so it's not a big deal but I would have liked some movement right now so I can book a flight and go visit my parents. I did not file for advanced parole because the green cards were going so quick when I checked. Well that is what you get for being a cheapskate I guess!

OMG just my luck! I filed on the fifth.

Not sure where to post this, feel free to move. I filed for AOS on July 5th, 2024. Had fingerprints taken in September and nothing since. I am not in a terrible hurry, but I am seeing quite a lot approvals for July filers and later and I am worried I might have received an RFE or something that never arrived. Should I see the RFE in my case updates in my USCIS account? So far it just says case received for my vaccine waiver and fingerprints taken for my I-485. I do realize that filing a waiver might delay the case, just making sure here I am not missing an RFE.

It's taking quite a while now to get any update. Does anyone know if you see it in your USCIS account if you were sent an RFE? I am starting to get nervous, afraid I never received an RFE or something. Anyone else still waiting here?
