Case Approved - EB1C.
My AOS case filed under the EB1C category was approved 8.5 months after filing.
Here's the overview:
I worked in my current employer's India office for a few years before getting an international mobility move to the US headquarters on a L1 visa. The employer filed for PERM, H1 etc during my L1 visa.
All filings were completed by the employer’s law firm.

hi family in Christ,I received Rfe

the letter says Submit a complete copy of the petitioning sponsor's (my spouse) Federal income fax return and all supporting tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, Form 2555, and tax schedules) for the most recent tax year
If the petitioning sponsor's income does not meet 125 percent (100 percent if military) of the federal poverty guideline for their household size, you must obtain a qualifying joint sponsor who demonstrates the ability to support you or submit evidence of assets. See Form 1-864 Instructions for more information. If you decide to obtain a different joint sponsor, you will need to:
I they
Submit a completed and signed Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, from the joint sponsor, All pages must be present and of the latest edition date.
Provide the joint sponsor's Social Security Number on Form I-864.
Provide a complete and correctly calculated household size on Form I-864.
Submit a complete copy of the joint sponsor's Federal income tax return and all supporting.
now if my husband's income is sufficient do I send just 1099 and w2 and tax return
Or do I have to file a new i864 form,the last one I sent with the package was 2 years ago
submitting social media
i was wondering about submitting list of social medias that you have/had to uscis.
for asylum pending, anybody experienced this?
do people who applied for asylum years ago have to submit it or is it for new applicants only?
i have deleted all of my social media many years ago, so unsure if they will ask about it and the reason why i deleted it.
pending asylum
hey all,
i have pending asylum since 2016, and renewed my ead for 4 times already. i have sent 2 letters to uscis with a letter from my therapist about how it mentally affects me, however, response from uscis was to wait.
does anybody else have experienced this? anybody here waiting since 2016?
im in nyc and tired of waiting, especially with current political situation.
what’s wrong with Texas services center?
Texas service center, are they working? why are people cases being kept for no reason! this is so frustrating. I’m in school n wished my husband was here to help me 🥲

Just got Lawfully… long wait and frustrated
Employment based, radio silence since the biometrics back in May 2024…. case always remained current, ROW country.
Priority date Perm filling January 2023.
Lawfully shows my case is 1st but I know it represents a fraction of the entire cases, Emma has never provided any information on case transfer nor RFE’s.
I am definetly filling an e-request within the next days, putting pressure on the lawyers my employer hired (they also show a very slow and not pro active attitude).
Any suggestions or comments are highly appreciated.

08/15/2025: Interview scheduled 08/29/2025: Court deadline; USCIS requested first extension till 09/29
09/09/2025: Interview
Questions they asked me:
When did you come to the U.S.?
Which schools have you attended?
Show transcripts (they reviewed each semester)
Who paid your tuition?
Have you graduated from university?
When did you start working?
When was your EAD approved?
Before working for your sponsor, did you ever work illegally?
Describe your job, sponsor name, how you knew this sponsor, and start date
They checked all my W-2s and keep all my W2s returned all 1040 tax returns
They asked to keep all my 1099 from all my side jobs
Verified sponsor info: name and address
Have you ever left the U.S.? (They asked for Form I-131)
Asked to see birth certificate
Why did I sue USCIS? 😅
Why didn’t you bring a lawyer today?
Do you have a medical exam? (old one expired)
Then 30–40 yes/no questions
Finally, they typed the information into the computer, stamped “approved,” said the card will arrive in 2 weeks, and congratulated me—starting today, I am a permanent resident. Status in the app changed to ‘New card is being produced’ as soon as I stepped outside.
Don’t be afraid ,everyone will reach their destination with a bit of luck. Good luck everyone, and Vietnam ƠI CỐ LÊN 🤞
