Edward and Jaycel

Oh that is interesting.... hmmmmm

We submitted 3 months of my paystubs, my tax return transcript from the most recent tax year and an employment verification letter from my employer

Yeah... that's where our friends are stuck... "updatedAt": "2025-07-29",

Current income is king with the I-134 (and the subsequent I-864). Do you have pay stubs and pro to submit with it to show that your current income is over the 100% Poverty Guidelines? (125% is for the I-864). Als, per the I-134 instructions, you only have to provide your most recent year's tax return and W-2s or tax return transcript

Log into your MyUSCIS account and then in another tab enter the following URL https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/Your IOE Number Put your receipt number at the end where I put "Your IOE Number" and you will get an API readout. In there you will see a section that says "updatedAt": with a date after it. That date is usually the last time someone at USCIS opened your case file

Our friends here in Denver are in the same position too... Interview July 29th and nothing since and no API updates

This is a good point because it will be disclosed to the beneficiary at the Embassy Interview and if they appear surprised by the information, it could cause issues not only between the two of you but also could cause a denial of the visa

Ok then the biometrics is most likely for USCIS to verify your information and also to validate that you have nothing pending and/or no wants / warrants that are current

This is likely the reason for the biometrics... they are going to validate that what you disclosed in the I-129F filing is accurate. When you filed the I-129F, did you include court dispositions, arrest records, etc. ?

You will not get an account number with USCIS unless they send you an Online Access Code to add cases. They will do this for an I-130, I-485, I-751, N-400, etc. They do not do this for an I-129F so you will not get one. Just file the I-129F without an account number listed.

This was specifically commented on by our ISO during the interview and she said that it allowed her to review our case prior to calling us in and enabled her to say she was approving our application that day. She thanked us for doing it. I have read reviews of other people's interviews on other platforms where their ISO thanked them for uploading their evidence prior to the interview as it made their job easier also. I highly recommend anyone preparing for an interview upload new evidence accumulated since filing using the Unsolicited Evidence button on the documents tab of their case in the portal

I shared one with you on your post from 9/17

This is common.... The date on the NOA2 is the official date. The portal lags 24 hours behind whatever action USCIS takes on their internal systems. The I-129F we filed for Jaycel showed approved in the portal on 6/4/2024 but the NOA2 said 6/3/2024. Same with her I-485 approval - The portal shows approved on 7/24/2025 and her Green Card says "Resident Since 7/23/2025"

That's the same as we experienced... the support staff there were all very friendly and helpful and we also noticed that pretty much all the other officers that were calling people in for interviews seemed very pleasant and kind. Happy you guys had a good experience!

Thanks @TBoneTX for linking this thread in another thread! For those in the Denver area! Highly recommended - The staff and Doctor are super friendly, efficient and knowledgeable Centennial Medical Center 12150 East Briarwood Ave Ste. 105 Centennial, CO 80112 Centennialmedcenter@gmail.com Tel: 303-790-1999 // Fax: 303-790-4866 https://www.centennialmedcentercmc.com/immigrationexams Full Immigration Medical Exam Package cost : $ 390.00 (Not including vaccines which they recommend getting elsewhere that accepts insurance and/or has lower costs) Normal processing - 1st Appointment is blood work/testing then 10 days later when the results are all in, you go for the physical exam and receive the completed I-693 the same day (They allow you to review it before they seal it and give you a copy of the entire I-693) They DO offer Vaccine Assessment only for those just missing vaccines (You can get the vaccine done anywhere as long as you have valid proof): $50.00 They had Jaycel's I-693 for just the Vaccine Assessment back to us in just 2 days

For anyone around Denver, Centennial Medical Center (CMC) which is just a couple of blocks away from the USCIS Field Office will do just the vaccine assessment

We had to do this in Denver.... we finally found one that would do just the vaccine assessment part but we didn't realize they would do it until we got there to the office. We had basically given up on finding one and we were going to just do the whole exam over again because every place we called, the person on the phone told us they only do the full exam. When we got to the place we decided on, we asked again to the person checking us in and she wasn't sure so she went to the clinic manager who said, "Of course we will do that". We brought Jaycel's vaccine record for the Polio vaccine from CVS plus her DS-3025 from her overseas medical exam and they transferred it to the vaccine assessment part of the I-693, signed and sealed and we were all set.

It depends.... that program was cut for I-765 & N-400 applicants. It did affect some I-485 applicants by mistake but Jaycel received her card automatically with no issue

Thanks! We got a verbal approval in the interview on July 23rd, the official notification came 24 hours later on the 24th. On July 29th Jaycel received her new SS Card and that same day her status changed to "Card Produced". We got the Green Card in the mail 3 days later on Aug. 1st.

Here's the link of our Green Card interview experience in Centennial in July

If he's not in the country on the day you sign the petition then you don't have to answer those items. The difference of a few days in filing is nothing in the grand scheme of things so I would do as you planned, wait until you are at the new address, file it with that as your current address and he will be out of the US at that point so you can leave those items blank and it's a nice, clean petition that you will file

If you have not received a receipt notice via the e-notification method and/or your payment method has not been processed then you can make an inquiry to the lockbox email 30 days after they received your submission. If you have received your receipt number, and you didn't receive the NOA1 in the mail, you have to wait for 60 days from the date of your receipt notice to ask for a new NOA1.

In addition, manage your expectations as an expedite for a K-1 petition is one of the most difficult to get approved by USCIS. There are very few reasons they even consider.

Second vote for this.... Make it a clean packet. Just note if you file the petition while they are inside the U.S., you have to fill out the items 38.a - 38.h. in Part 2 of the I-129F

Congratulations!! 🎉🎉
