F3 Category – Any approvals for PD November 2022?
Hi everyone,
I’m under the F3 category from Nigeria (Married Son/Daughter of a U.S. Citizen) with a priority date of November 2022. I just want to know if anyone with the same or close PD has had their petition approved yet.
Please share your timeline or update. it’ll really help me understand how the process is moving.
Thanks in advance!
two or more status change updates after submitting an RFE for the i-693 and tax return?
Has anyone else gotten two or more status change updates after submitting an RFE for the i-693? They first marked it received on 9/25/2025 @ 5:00 pm, and today 10/7/2023 @ 12:21 pm..
Curious as to why it would change from the initial receipt date/time? The status message itself is still the same.
does anyone knows the theory behind that green check mark? I look at it as green light (good to proceed for a favorable outcome ) base on green, red light traffic light theory. When the send RFE usually you see red icon and processing stop until RFE receives lol. have anyone had unfavorable decision after those dates discrepancies in their RFE responses before ? Uscis is making us do our forensic analytics hence giving people depression and anxiety with different types of notifications that usually means nothing or something no one knows actually
I am truly hoping this means there’s some action going on and that I will hear some good news next week
485J $2500+ fedex $100????!
Hello,
The company that sponsored my EB3 unskilled position has closed down, so I had to change jobs. My priority date is September 21, 2021, so if the visa bulletin moves forward just two more months, it will become current. I’ve already found a new employer, but the attorney (based in LA) said that while the I-485J filing fee is currently free, their legal fee is $2,500.
In addition, the FedEx fee used to be $50 until the end of last December, then it increased to $80 this June (for sending an RFE), and now they’re asking for $100 this time. It feels like the attorney’s fee might be a bit excessive, so I wanted to ask if you know what the typical fee range is.
Would it be appropriate to ask for a fee adjustment? If so, I’d really appreciate any ideas on how to persuade them or what kind of reasoning might sound convincing.
