Urgent Help with NOID
Dear sisters/Brothers
Received a NOID and was asked to present a verifiable Divorce Letter from Nigeria. Please does anyone has an idea of how to go about this, I submitted a divorce order from a Customary Court to USCIS in 2017. Now they’re asking that I provide another one because they couldn’t verify the previous divorce order I submitted. Please help me out, it’s quite urgent. Please share your experiences with me and how you think I should go about this. If you submitted a divorce order to them in the past and they accepted it please share your advice and which court in NIGERIA issued it for you.

Please help a brother.

Questions regarding I 130
Hi! I’d like to see if anyone can answer my question. My mom just got her green card recently and wants to petition for my brother who overstayed his visa in the US for 13 years. My brother entered the states legally but he overstayed, and he’s over 21 years old & still unmarried. In this situation, if the I-130 is approved and when his visa comes available in a few years, can he adjust his status in the US by just filing I 485 without leaving?(he’ll stay unmarried until then) Or how does it work? If you have similar experiences, please answer my questions if you could. And when submitting form i130 online, do we still have to attach passport photos? Thanks in advance

AOS I-485
Hello everybody,

To make long story short, I will summarize my experience.

I came to USA on a B2 visa in 2015. By beginning of 2018 I met my wife (US citizen) and we got married by the end of 2019. It is mine and my wife’s first marriage. We had our first interview in February of 2019 and we were not separated. Interview was conducted in Chicago FO and it was super positive experience, just basic questions. Officer told me that he will approve my green card and my status changed to “Interview was completed and my case must be reviewed”. Then 3 months later we were called for second interview and we got separated by the same officer. I was called in first and then my wife. Again it was super smooth, we were not given any hard time. We stayed 30 minutes each in the office. By the time my wife was done inside, officer just told her that we will hear from them in the mail. We were not given any paper, wich is weird. When my wife and I discussed questions we were asked, we think that we answered good.

 So it has been 8 months already without any updates since last interview and status for both I-130 and I-485 is “Interview was completed and my case must be reviewed”. We raised one service request couple of months ago and their response was that case is pending review.

There was no house visits, no RFE, no word from them.

Is there anybody here with similar experience?

Interview Done
Applied for I-130 concurrent with 485 2017 and got denied 2020….It was stated on the denial notice I should file form I-290B if I think the reason for denial was not acceptable. I did and it got denied after one month and they stated I should have appealed and not motion to reopen. I wrote letter to USCIS with the denial letter were they clearly instructed me to file I-290B. Immediately I reapplied for I-130 concurrent with 485 again.

Two months later USCIS send a mail they have reopened the I-290B also reissued another denial along with it and I must filed appeal or they will close the case. Since I am doing all this by myself I sent them the appeal after all I have nothing to loose. They kept quiet since 2020.

November 3 2021, they sent us interview notice slated for Dec 3. The interview was more like the first one but more questions. After the interview officer told us he can’t make a decision because of our previous case that is pending and we should give him 60 days to make a decision.

Jan 20, 2022 I did case inquiry for the I-290B and this was the mail I received from USCIS today:

What We Have Done
USCIS has reviewed and approved your application. According to USCIS records, an approval notice has been mailed to the address currently on file

What You Can Do
If you would like to request a duplicate copy of the approval notice, please file a Form I-824 (Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition), along with the applicable filing fee and your original signature. Please include your Receipt Number on Part 3 of Form I-824.

I check online my case still showing Interview was completed and your case must be reviewed.
