Dallas Office I-485 Marriage Based
Hello!

Any Dallas filers (marriage based) received interview notifications lately?

PD - April 13, 2017
Biometrics - May 19, 2017
Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview - June 6, 2017

Not heard anything yet. Processing time shows it is still at Sep 2015 for marriage based in Dallas. Is this true? How long is the wait usually? Should I be worries?

My EAD card is set to expire in July 2018 so I recently filed for an extension on that. Is this a good amount of time for renewal? If not, what else can I do?

Thanks for all your help in advance!

Good luck to all.

Helping Parents to Get GC
Hello everyone, I have a quick question. I’m on AOS process and waiting for my GC interview right now. I was wondering if I could help my parents to get GC after I pass the interview and receive my GC. With all the payments, I was thinking to bring my mother and my father to the US.

Thank you so much for answers.

Deceased Petitioner
I was asked by a family member to post this question.

"My brother has an approved petition (2009) filed by our father who died in 2016. Recently, my brother received a notice from NVC to start with the visa process. My brother has never been to the US. I am a US citizen. Should we proceed with the process, pay the fees, send my affidavit of support and other required documentations, including my father's death certificate with a written request to allow me to become the substitute sponsor? If we stop on our tracks now, it can take years (based on others' experiences) before USCIS can respond to our reinstatement request. Has anyone dealt with this situation? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you."

Family Based Greencard Experience thus far
To begin, my husband (Jamaican on a B1 Visa) and I (American) were married on July 24, 2017. We decided that we would Concurrently File forms I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative), I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status), I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization), I-864 (Affidavit of Support).

From day one we have documented everything we do (Family outings, birthdays, holidays). We opened a bank account together and started saving for all the fees that come with the forms listed above. I added him to my insurance at work so he’s covered for all of his medical needs. I had him added to my lease so that it shows we do live together and we’ve established bills together. He finally got an appointment with an immigration doctor to get his physical done in October. We received his results but we didn’t quite have the money saved up for the fees yet. So on February 16, 2018 we had the money saved and we sent off the package. On February 20, 2018, USCIS received the package. March 5, 2018 we received the I-797c, Notice of action stating they have received all of the paperwork. On March 10, 2018, we received his appointment for his biometrics which is for March 20, 2018. It hasn’t been quite a month yet since we filed everything so it seems to be going by fast for us. I’m not sure if it’s because we filed everything at once but the process has been so far so good. Hope this information helps someone.

The interview was about 30-35 minutes. Very generic questions such as how did you meet, tell me the names of your spouse parents. Why did you move from Texas, Do you have both have jobs? etc. They did not ask for a new 864 document. I was prepared for it anyway.

Very glad that I did it all myself.

I-485 Waiting for interview @ SF field office
Hello all,

I'm married to a US Citizen and our timeline is as follows:

PD: June 2017
EAD: Oct 2017

Since I live in San Francisco, I'm assuming my field office is San Francisco. It is March 2018 (8months+) since we submitted the application and there is still no interview invitation. I'm starting to get a little worried.

Anyone else in the SF area waiting like me / similar timelines? Any updates will be appreciated!
Thank you!
