      Hi Guys,

      I'm a US citizen and sponsoring my husband, who is from India. We started this process and have been sitting at "waiting for interview" since January. I've been reading here more and more that people who started the same time as us have their card in hand. That's super exciting but also frustrating as we have been waiting so long and now probably longer due to the new executive order. Is there anyone else who filed in October in a similar situation. Our field office in is Minneapolis, MN. It's my understanding that they tend to take longer?

      Much thanks!
      Hi, Since your husband is already in the US, the executive order doesn't apply to you. When did you file?

      • Hey guys, so this may or may not mean anything but wanted to quickly update our thread: about 30 days after we filed our forms (back in Oct) I called the service center bc I was concerned about a possible error on our I-130 receipt notice under the class of entry section. Anyway, we never received any kind of response to the SR until today. I got an email saying they checked into the request and resolved the inquiry, and that their systems indicate that our case is awaiting an interview (which is correct).

        So, I just thought it was interesting that maybe they are looking into I-130 petitions for those of us who filed concurrently while we await interviews for the 485. I also wonder if the I-130s get approved in advance of the interview being scheduled, if the interviews could be waived? I know this is unlikely (except for employment based cases as we've seen in other threads), but who knows? My husband and I have been married for 14 years so it's def legit, lol. Lots of ifs here but just thought I'd pass along the info If anyone else receives any updates on the I-130, let us know!!

                • I’m a November filer but I’m happy they’re working on Oct filers... November should be next. We had a previous denial so my lawyer said we shouldn’t get our hopes up for a waiver. But I’m definitely happy for everyone that’s moving along. It’s a stressful process, add in expenses, long waits and now covid ... but we’re hopeful. Keep safe guys esp my nyc and Ga folks

                            Hi! So part of my timeline is my signature. After I got my EAD there were no more updates, until they called me from the FO the day before my interview to cancel it. My online status changed to "interview cancelled" to "interview ready to be scheduled" to "interview cancelled" again. Sometime after that (not sure exactly when because we were not home) we got a letter from the local field office requesting for evidence of bona fide marriage. We didn't have an online update for this. So we sent the evidence that we had already prepared for the interview (such as marriage certificate, lease, pictures, joint tax return, health/ car insurance, etc)
