Journey
I’ll briefly share my story. In April 2022, I initiated my journey. Later in December of the same year, I relocated, promptly updating my address. By November 2022, my EAD was approved, marking progress. However, complications arose when I failed to receive a letter requesting additional evidence in December 2022, despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue through Ask Emma. Consequently, my case faced the threat of intent to deny. Despite reaching out to the ombudsman and submitting a FOIA request for assistance, hope dwindled. They told me that because the deadline has passed to submit the evidence there’s nothing they can do. They told me that my only option was to submit new documents with another filing fee & as such I gave up! Surprisingly, in December 2023, a notification from UPS Informed Delivery unveiled an approved AP, reigniting hope. This prompted me to check my USCIS account & I noticed a letter was resent in October 2023, providing a second chance to submit evidence by January 19 2024. However I still didn’t receive that 2nd letter.I reached out to ask Emma & luckily this time they were able to send it to me via email bear in mind this was the Ending of December 2023. Praises to God I was able to meet the deadline and submitted the evidence January 12 2024 enabling me to meet the deadline of January 19 2024. Subsequently, the I-130 and I-485 entered active review on February 5, 2024. The I -130 was approved on March 1, followed by the approval of the I-485 on March 9th. 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
