B_Andie Enub4
thank you so much for the replies to my questions we very much appreciate it
Cheers

[Enub4]

This is correct!
my lawyer said that most likely we will apply for removal conditions and a year after for citizenship since removing conditions is taking 1.5 years.

Gaps - my i130 changed to approve the day after I got approved :-)

That's what I understand, that even if you don't have your 10 year GC (taking too long) you can apply for citizenship if you want. Good luck.

[B_Andie]

It is not 3 years married to USC, is 3 years having a GC and still married to USC.

In your case, you will need to remove the conditions in less than 2 years and then apply to Citizenship when you are near the 3 years with GC.

We are also nearing our 2 year anniversary by the time the GC comes into our hands, and I'm wondering whether there are opportunities presenting itself here, considering that the conditional requirements can only be removed in 18 months after, but being married to a USC qualifies one to seek US citizenship after 3 years of marriage which means a little bit over halfway through the 18 months period to remove GC conditions. Wonder if anyone knows or have experience how this can be handled?

I didn't file an I-130 so I can't help you there I'm afraid.

We're going to get a conditional GC I think even though we're literally 2 weeks off being married for 2 years

ryan_2112 thanks for responding to my query.

Dorothyguenther we're with you here sister, come back to the thread when you receive their formal notice for further documentation if you should ever need some extra eyes to look into the matter, but as I wrote you earlier, it should be nothing that you cannot provide to their full satisfaction, again I think its just a processing matter, I would like to think the fact they are asking for further documentation means they are intent on approving your case

annette2412 presumably you'll get your hands on your GC and accompanying NOA document sooner than ours, please consider coming back to the forum to share if the NOA documentation will also indicate an official disposition of your 130, we have read in another thread "March 2018 Filers" that even though their online case status for 130 says "for further review" when their GC came it also provided an approval for their 130

A great weekend to you all. Cheers

I have a quick question:
Did your I-130 also get approved at the same time as the 485?
Please reply with your GC situation conditional or 10-year.
Thank you.
Cheers

My i130 still says “Interview was completed and my case must be reviewed” even though my i485 states “card was mailed to me»

gaps0214 thanks for your encouragement. I had nightmares about this last night and then woke up to this email. I am literally sick to my stomach. I don't know what we would do if we didn't get approved.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry when it's out of your hands. I won't lie to you and tell you they will approve it because there's an extremely small chance they might not (I think it's about 1% so you should be fine so long as you did everything right )

I guess just think about all the times you've worried about something happening that then never happened. Worrying's not going to fix anything so focus on the present and work on the next steps if worst comes to worst

We've all got our fingers crossed for you! Wishing you the best of luck!

Dorothyguenther it could just be one of those things you can easily provide them, I still think the AOS process is a bit quirky but predictable, so my thoughts on your updated situation is that someone in immigration feels they want to be thorough in their job so they’d like to show some more effort, I’m sorry your case had to be the one they picked on, but I’d go back to what your husband said about the interview having gone well and trust that whatever theyre asking for is just a processing matter. I am looking forward to read your good news and keep your spirits up. Wishing you a great weekend.
Cheers.

gaps0214 they sent us a request for more information. I wonder what they need now. I was pretty thorough.

Congrats gaps0214 . My GC is 10 years since we married for more than 3 years when we interviewed. So our long wait is kind of a blessing in disguise.
Dorothyguenther Hope we will hear updates from you next.
