thanks Lawfully
Yesterday I received the message that my green card is being produced. Two months ago, my wife, who was the principal petitioner, received her green card, and I received an RFE. It was a sad moment, but we decided to wait and see what they were asking for. It turned out they simply needed more evidence of our marriage and relationship. We sent everything quickly, and from July 4th until yesterday, we had no updates from USCIS. I was feeling anxious because I didn’t know if the documents had been lost—it had almost been two months with no news. Yesterday, instead of a notification saying the documents were received, I was notified that my green card was approved.
Lawfully was a great help during this process. Wishing success and encouragement to everyone!

k1 visa interviews
anyone have any insight on who sets the interview date for a k1 visa? I haven’t had any luck with getting replies from my embassy itself (although it was forwarded to them since March 27th 2024) but I did use the IV status tool and it looks like nvc is scheduling interviews with my embassy for March. I would assume that means the cases that were sent to them in March. any feedback or insight would be much appreciated
HOLTSVILLE LONG ISLAND NEW YORK!
has anybody done their interview at the Long Island Holtville location? I had mine on July 17th, according to the officer “everything wa ok” interview lasted about 15min. at the end he said “we just have to check your background and we will send you an answer on the mail” it’s been a week and still no answer, and my online account with uscis is still says “interview scheduled”
