Edward and Jaycel

Hahaha no worries! Glad you found a CS to do just the vaccine assessment. We had given up on finding one after calling around for days and being told no every time. So we just booked a full medical exam at one near our house and I just happened to mention it to the person at the front desk when we checked in for the full medical exam and she had to ask the practice manager who said, "Oh yeah of course we do that". So we lucked out.

Fill out only your part of the I-693 but do not sign it until you are at the civil surgeon's office. Also do not put N/A in the spots that don't apply - it seems civil surgeons are very particular about which parts of the form you mark. Fill out Part 1. (make sure you check the box on Item 4.A. of Part 1.) and Part 2. (But like I said, don't sign it until they tell you to)

Have you tried reaching out to them using the "Public Inquiry" form online?

This one should be fine as long as it shows their entry on the K-1 & K-2 visas respectively

If they entered on K-1/K-2 AND you married within the 90 days (Which I know you did) you do NOT need to file the I-130

Agee here - IMHO, this would require legislation. People are making a LOT of money from page clicks and video views by making a big scary headline about "Something this administration is planning for immigrants, or LPRs or Naturalized Citizens or Dual Citizens......" P.S. - This is coming from a YouTube account with 6K followers and AI Narration

I agree with this 100%. After the interview, just let them do their thing. They will ask you if they need something.

I would recommend binder clips instead of prong fasteners - You filed the I-129F during the previous administration which accepted it, however this administration seems to be interpreting filing guidelines literally and rejecting packets for things that would have got overlooked before.

The problem is that with the counselors at CFO, they can and often do make up the rules as they go. They could just arbitrarily say that the date is too old. I would spend the $50 and have the digital prints done a couple of days before the CFO appointment to reduce the chances of any BS on the part of the counselors.

This means someone did something with your casefile on 10/03.

Because of this verbiage on the notice they are supposed to give you at the end of the interview

Sign the form, scan it and the supporting evidence and then email it. You do not have to ship it

For I-129F Petitions, this is the only status you will see until you get approved or denied unless you get an RFE or a NOID. These cases will never show statuses like, "Case is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS" or anything similar. To reiterate @appleblossom question, for what purpose are you trying to reach out to USCIS?

Great news! Thank you for sharing your experience with the community and please keep us updated on the timeline of your approval once you get the certified copies to them!

Ok good deal! I just wanted to be sure

I fear a complication here… if the lawyer filed an I-130, I think there’s a good chance they filed it under the category “Spouse of a US Citizen” which requires an I-130, instead of the proper category, “Person who entered the US as a fiancè(e) of a US citizen….” which does NOT require the I-130. If the I-130 is withdrawn and the I-485 was improperly filed under the spouse category, IMHO they may deny they I-485.

No it will not be a moot point.... No matter the financial situation of the primary sponsor, the joint sponsor is liable for the immigrant until, (A) The get their citizenship, (B) Work 40 quarter (usually 10 years if working continuously), (C) They leave the country and forfeit their LPR status or (D) They die. The I-864 is not disclosed on any credit reporting agency's database. If he and his wife file taxes jointly then she will need to fill out and sign the I-864A unless he wants to only qualify with his own income and then he will need to submit W-2s along with the tax return transcripts in his I-864 and only claim that income in the form.

There is no "deadline" to file the AOS. The only set in stone requirement is to get married within the 90 days, so they will NOT reject your package simply for filing after the 90 days. My best advice is to wait for your brother, get his I-864 peoperly filled out with all the proper documentation and file a COMPLETE AOS package as soon after that as possible. That way you do not risk a NOID, RFE or even straight denial. They don't always give you a chance to fix something with a NOID or RFE. This just happened to a Filipina friend of Jaycel. They messed up the I-864 from her husband and they straight-up denied their AOS. No NOID, no RFE. File the best, most complete AOS you can as soon as it is possible. If he's out of status for a week or two, IMHO that's not as bad as a denied application.

See my comment above - the (c)(9) category is ALSO used for the T-Nonimmigrant filers not exclusively

@Purple_Paladin a6 is wrong - File it under (c)(9) Look below. This is what we filed Jaycel's under and got her EAD in 51 days after filing. a6 will get you an EAD that is only good for the 90 day validity of the I-94. Since it won't be adjudicated within the 90 day window it will be DENIED if you file under a6

Category c09 if you are filing concurrently with the I-485

No, they rely on gross income for this and the I-864

Hope it's soon!! 🙏

The trends I have been seeing over the last year, monitoring several different forums and data aggregators, are as follows (percentages are rough but fairly accurate): 20% - 30% - Get approved for a EAD/AP Combo Card pretty quickly (Within a couple of weeks after the biometrics appointment) 50% - 60% - Get the EAD fairly quickly but the AP drags out several months The remainder seem to have their EAD/AP applications get stuck in limbo and don't get either of them adjudicated prior to the Green Card being approved CAVEAT - It seems that USCIS is pulling a lot of AOS applications from the top of the pile in the last few months and many applicants are receiving interview notices within a month or two of their biometrics and this is causing many more people to fall into that "Remainder" category lately, where they are getting their green card interviews before EAD/AP is processed and/or they are getting the approval(s) between the time they get the interview notice and when they go to the interview. 2ND CAVEAT - This is all anecdotal "evidence" as I said above, I spend a lot of time on a lot of different forums and data aggregator sites (this whole process has grabbed my interest LOL) and none of this is "Hard Data" so take it FWIW Good luck on your journey!

The visa is invalidated upon entry for any further entries from outside the country yes but their I-94 is valid for the full 90 days
