  1. Got the advance parole document in the mail today along with the notice of approval, didn't expect to get it so quickly. Wasn't visible in usps informed delivery 🤷
  2. Advance parole document was produced, pretty quick!
  3. Still nothing on i-485, but they just approved my I-131, so I should finally be able to visit family! Works out well as my wife has a surgery coming up and we can use the time when she's unable to work.
  4. Pittsburgh, processing times seemed average from what I saw last year, but I don't know how much changed with the new administration.
  5. Congrats on getting the interviews guys, hoping mine will be in the next few months as well! I usually obsess about checking progress with this kinda stuff, but work and kid are keeping me occupied enough to only check every few weeks.
  6. Not a huge deal, but I am hoping I can visit my relatives later this year. Might get advance parole earlier, but I read about people now having to wait up to 7 hours upon return to the US with that as it needs to get ok'd from several higher ups and missing their connecting flight etc. which would not be great. Maybe not the norm though, I don't know.
  7. That's not ideal, would be interesting to know how many of the interviews were for people who filed on basis of a K-1 visa... Thanks for posting the stats though, makes it easier to see the trends!
  8. I read somewhere that they changed the API again and the stats on the tracking sites aren't accurate at the moment, not sure if true though.
  9. Fingers crossed for approvals soon without interview! Tax season is here as well and filing MFJ was certainly interesting with foreign income (before moving to US) and foreign bank account. Lots to consider, luckily found a tax professional with experience in that area after the first one screwed it up 🫠
  10. Luckily for me driving here is mostly the same as in Austria, just a bunch of small differences. I recommend downloading a drivers test app on your phone (mine on android is literally called 'Drivers Test'), on the one I got you can set the state you're in, do practice tests and it explains why the answer is right/wrong. I like studying by doing practice test questions, I did the same for the GED. I passed the road test too now, I only looked up youtube videos about what to expect and they explain it well, though obviously I've had a good amount of practice with 4 months of driving in the US.
  11. I got my physical and went to the dmv to apply, but did not expect to do the knowledge test right then and there! Luckily I got enough right, was psyching myself out on a few questions tho 😅 Overall getting a license here is pretty straightforward, in my home country it takes way longer and costs like 2k nowadays...
  12. My EAD card was delivered yesterday, same day as the approval notice arrived. I didn't know it's valid for 5 years for some AOS filing categories, that's pretty neat in case the I-485 takes longer than a year.
