Hello, my petition is about to be approved soon. A Sent back the RFE with some very simple documents. Our adjustment of status got denied due to an error on our end. Can I still submit DS260 with no problem if I-130 is approved? Regardless if 485 was denied due to a simple error? My wife has to travel to Europe for an emergency
My husband and I have never hired an attorney or lawyer for any of of visa process. We’ve done it all on our own. And now I am currently waiting on my green card and work authorization! 🙂 it was a stressful process but overall pretty simple. Just do your research and everything will work out just fine!!
Hi Daisy, congratulations for your visa☺️. Did you applied for a spouse/fiance's visa, the K type? I guess for employment based visas, the process is a bit more complicated 😅
Hey Stephanie, I was wondering if you’ll be making a video breaking down the updates in the October Visa bulletin compared to last months being that it’s the beginning of a new fiscal year.
2 years for Canada? Then I think AOS is better then - even if it takes longer then at least you’ll be with your spouse AND be able to work after getting the EAD card
Is there any consideration/exception for Affidavit of support (consular processing) right now if a sponsor's current income is lower than poverty guidelines/ unemployed due to Covid-19 ?
Dear Angela, thanks for the video and the news. Do you have hope that parents will be able to visit their family soon? I come from Germany and was not allowed to enter the USA in June due to Corona.
gREAT video!! Very useful. I am switching from CP to AOS. Can I also apply for the work and AP along with that? Also, when my AOS is finally completed, is the Perm Res card conditional or is it all completely done...(like it would have been if I stayed CP? Thanks again!
Hey Clay, I will also be switching to AOS as I just qualify by using a travel document. Btw, NVC has already approved all my documents submission and I'm just waiting for the interview appointment. Anyhow, I have the answers to your question. When submitting your i-485 package include i-765 and i-131 which at the moment both are free to apply when submitting an i-485 application. Btw, on the video I did not hear if we need to contact NVC to send back the i-130 to USCIS or we can include a copy of the approval form, do you know by any chance?
Congrats! You're getting there! Not sure what happens after that. Sorry. When you did the NVC stuff, it was all online correct? They didn't actually send you anything through the mail did they? Thanks and keep it up. @@wumana
How soon after the NVC accepts all of our documents should we receive notice that it's moving on to the consular interview? Our documents were all "accepted" on Friday! Thank you :)
Hi! We're doing consular processing. We got approved yesterday but when we checked on our uscis account, uscis sent a message saying that our card is being produced. This is impossible. We haven't gone to nvc nor have any interviews. We expedited our case for military reasons
Hi! I filed for my husband- i130. Currently processing under California; however, it transferred to the miami field office (dont live in FL) will FL adjudicate the file or will it go back to California?
Thank you for this informational video. I have concurrently filed for Adjustment of status, but my i130 when approved was sent to the Department of State for consular processing, do i still have to notify the Department of state about the adjustment of status?
Hi Stephanie, thank you so much for your videos, are really helpful. One question: if my I-94 expires in June and my approval petition for I-140 as a EB2 worker arrived in August, do I still have a valid status to apply for the I-485? Thank you!
I am currently in the United States, and I have an approved form i-360 as far back as July 2023 but on the approval, letter was stated that I am not eligible to file an adjustment until I observed some certain steps with NVC for proper forms and payments in order to avail immigrant visa before I could adjust. I was asked to contact NVC since I am here in the United States and my question is: ca I apply for adjustment of status now with a visa waiver form or needed to wait to hear from NVC on the next phase since I am running out of time since my SD6 approval notice.
Hi, my EB2-NIW has been approved. While I wait for my priority date to be current, I will like to ask, if I will be required to show proof of funding and place of accommodation during the visa interview at the USA consular office. Thanks
Hello, many thanks for this useful information. I have a question..How often, an EB 2NIW visa is denied at the US embassy? I am really worried about this, or what if put it under Administrative Processing? many thanks in advance
This video is great but the consular processing is long, painful, expensive and downright sadistic. If you are from a third world country its going to be almost impossible to get the papers the ask for. This process makes me want to rip my eyes out I don't wish it on anyone and of course there are no guarantees. Good luck fellow foreigners well need it.
Is there a process for someone who had residence status, a Green Card, was required to relinquish it when the person pursued a 25 year teaching career overseas and now wants to reestablish residency with her husband, a US citizen, in order to retire to the US? Or, is the only path to start the process of obtaining a Green Card from scratch? This person is currently residing overseas.
I am currently on the consular processing track and been waiting for an interview date for over 15months and I AM TIRED of waiting. I do have a B1/B2 visa (visiting visa) and I plan on going to the US and doing the adjustment of status. Even though consular processing is typically faster, clearly it's not in my case.
Mam, I'm Sucheta from India. Yours videos are the best. Explained in simple language . Mam I have a doubt : My uncle filed for my father sponsoring him to USA 12 yrs back but now I'm 22 so, will I be able to go with my parents ? If not what is the solution ? Pls help me
My I-130 petition was approved and the USCIS is retaining the petition until I file I-824. Can I file I-824 petition electronically and who do I file it with?
Hello Mam,Our son have documentary qualified since October 2021,until now he didn't get an interview schedule. Please advice us what to do.from Philippines. Thank you.
Hey Stephanie, my sister initially applied in 2013 for us ,which was for me my son and my husband .My son was was under 21 years.My case got approved by the USCIS in October 2021 and my son is 28 years old now so would he get the green card along with us...Thank you
Hello, what happen if your i130 approved but priority date is not current. Do I just wait until its current, thats like another year and so? Until then, should I contact the NVC at all?
Your video and the subject sound interesting. I want to apply for NIW, and I would like to adjust my status through I 485 or 245A. When I applied for asylum, I was in status (F1), then I fell out of status after graduation, and I got OPT (my lawyer did not advise me to get it). How can I adjust it, or must I do a consulate process?
I have a question…. My mother got non-immigration visa b1/b2 multiple visa with 5 years validity.She is now in the USA.My aunty filed i-130 petition in 2013,my mother is principal applicant,after 8 years i-130 has been approved.So my question is if my mother file i-485 form then i-130 form which is approved that still valid?
What are the chances of getting a b1/2 visa if you started the consular processing... Won't the consular officer determine that your intent is to stay in the US permanently?

Hello I'm from Morocco. my daughter is studing in the USA since August 2019. She won at the dv 2021. I would like your opinion "which procces is butter for her Adjustment of status or consular process? For information, her father also won at the dv 2021 and she is included with him (daddy's case number 39*** and my daughter"s case number 31***). Thank you very much.
Dear Angelo, I have been selected for the 2023 DV lottery. My question is if I should go for AOS since I'm physically present in the US. I'm concerned about the processing time for AOS which takes 8 to 14 months to approve. My case number is AS24000, would that be an issue because of the large number and if the cut-off number going to be later next year about this time, then I might as well go back to my home country to go for an interview at the US embassy, just a thought.
Following.... I filled out the DS form and I am afraid they won't extend my current US visa, and then the adjustment is just a waste of time. I might be just overthinking it.

Hi Nam_123 in my opinion, adjustment of status would be more suitable. #1 is that flying outside of USA would cost more #2 I just feel safer to be interviewed within the USA (I am from the Philippines and whenever I go for consular processing, I always see people getting denied left and right. (I think that they are stricter there than here). However, if ALL the requirements have been met, then there would be no problem. I am not an immigration lawyer however, I am a fellow foreign applying for Permanent residency. Hope this helps you and have a wonderful day!
hi, thanks you for asusual great content. My 485 is in progress (eb1) , it was filled in aug 2020. Now if I use premium processing to get EAD card, will I get my advance payroll card/document too with EAD ? Or it will just expedite the EDA only.
I am in India now and I have approved I140 and it was filed when I was in USA so it has specific instruction to file I824 to request for consular processing. My question is when I start consular processing by filing I-824 and if I get my non-immigrant visa stamped in between. This makes me eligible to travel to USA. If I travel after my I-824 is approved for consular processing, will I be able to apply for adjustment of status when I travel to USA or I have to stay in India to complete consular processing when my priority date is current?
Hi, we are also from India. planning to apply GC through counsular process. You got your GC? we have the same questions same as like you.please share your experience
@@sujithakatla5793 ..I did not get GC.. before I could apply for CP, priority date retrogressive and it did not become current. I traveled to USA on H1 and waiting for PD to be current.
Assuming the i140 was approved for AOS basis and when PD becomes current after many years (such as EB2 india) when the primary applicant is still working in US on h1b but his spouse and children are in India, how will they do ? will the primary applicant file for AOS, and his family file for consular processing? Sometimes the AOS can be done on "Date of filing chart" basis while consular processing is done on "Final Action chart" , if so then his family will apply much later because Final Action chart is usually follows the other chart.
Hi, I have a question regarding documents that we send to USCIS, what if the documents got expired along the way due to long processing time, do I need to provide a new updated copy during my interview for Adjustment of status? Thanks
New birth certificates...new marriage certificate...irs transcript of ladt year..or 1040...last year w2....letter stating you realtion with person tou are sponsoring...medical exam....2 visa photos...passport...and copy needs to have copies of all certificates...no translation...embassy appointment letter...sponsor proof of citizenship..or green card...sponsor id copy
Hi! Thanks for the very informative video on AOS and Consular Processing. I have a question for you on this. I have an approved EB2 NIW I-140 petition that NVC has begun processing via Consular Processing through the US Consulate in Mumbai India. They have sent me a Welcome Letter with an NVC Case number and an Invoice ID number. The Welcome Letter also has a Document Cover Sheet that lists the Supporting Documents and a list of documents under the Affidavit of Support. Now, when I log into CEAC, under the Fees tab, it shows - Affidavit of Support (AOS) Fees - Status EXEMPT - IV Application Processing Fees - Status PAID Since the AOS, and hence the associated fee, is exempt for my case, does this imply that I am not required to submit any documents to the NVC listed under the Affidavit of Support in the Document Cover Sheet i.e. IRS Tax Transcript, Federal Income Tax Returns, Form(s) W-2, Proof of U.S. Status, Proof of Domicile, Petitioner's Civil Documents, Proof of relationship (only for I-864A), Evidence of Income, Social Security Earnings Statement, Proof of Assets Your advice will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, we are from hyderabad,India. We are also planning to apply GC through Counsular r process. we are bit scared. Could you please share your experience. you got your GC? if yes ,how long it will take. do we have to apply from hyderabad only?
@@sujithakatla5793 Hi Sujitha, to give you a brief background on my GC process: My I140 was approved back in 2012. I applied in EB2 NIW category. Last Oct 2021 my date became current and I got a notification from NVC to submit my documents. I submitted all my documents and as of today I am documentarily qualified by the NVC, and waiting for them to schedule an interview at the Mumbai consulate.
@@sujithakatla5793 if you are eligible for EB2 NIW, you can apply from anywhere, inside or outside the US. But I would recommend you go through a good immigration lawyer based in the US. They can help you out better, although it is a bit expensive, but less chances of making errors in your application. I paid around 6000 USD back in 2012 to my lawyer, and she filed EB1-A and EB2 NIW for me. My EB1-A got declined.
@@sujithakatla5793 if you get your I140 approved in the EB2 NIW category, and want to go through consular processing, then I believe it will be at Mumbai Consulate, as only Mumbai consulate does EB2 NIW GC interviews, as far as I know.
@@saumitrav hi, thank you for reply. So it’s been almost 1 year you submitted your Docs, do you know how long we have to wait? Do you know any one who applied GC like us from India?
My US citizen sister who filed my i 130 is approved i m in USA already on h1b visa , whats your opinion shall i file AOS or go with consular processing please help
