Travel on Parole to Africa
I just came back from West Africa on parole through IAD Washington Dullas- Virginia Airport ( Recieved by very friendly -deligent officers on duty) and wish to share the following information with you my family-
1. Do not be afraid to travel on parole, it is legal.
2. As long as you don't have a criminal record you are free to travel
3. Do not book your flight to transit through the Schengen countries because the advance parole of US is not recognized there. If you find yourself there by mistake, you will need a visa or American passport to leave
4. Be prepared and confident to answer a few questions on arrival at the secondary room. Questions like-
a. What is the purpose of your travel?
b. Where did you visit?
c. What is your current address in the US?
5. If you wish to travel on an expired passport of your country with the intention to renew it from home, ensure you book a direct flight from America to your home country-( no transit)
Even if an emergency travel certificate from your embassy was issued
That's all for now- (safe trip)......I had fun enjoying my local delicacy of Amala, Akpu, okro/ bitterleaf soup and fresh palm wine😁😁😁

Finally an update after interview. Although we got notifications yesterday that action has been taken on out cases, only today I-130 got approved. I-485 still remains “Interview was scheduled”. Wondering how long it will take to see the approval?

RFE for medical
hi guys, I received an RFE for medical about a month ago, and my husband hasn’t received anything. I contact ema and I was told there is no RFE for my husband and his form is in NBC while mine is in New York.. Has anyone experienced this where only one applicant received a RFe ? I am worried and anxious for him.
how long does it take for everyone to get their RFE in the mail ?
Hey just curious how long did it take for you guys to get your rfe in the mail after Rfe was issued ? mine was issued about 10 days ago and i am starting to wonder how long its gonna take i am guessing its gonna be medical since my Medical is expired and my Priority Date is now current and i would like to prepare to as soon as we get it in the mail be ready for it !
hello family, I have a question I got RFE and I responded to uscis for RFE. it showing that uscis was received it on march 25 now it’s been 68 days and nothing happened. please share your experience.

Hello Everyone,
Finally my turn to share good news after a year of Retrogression, waits and numerous service requests and Senator queries. Today morning received the update New cards being produced for self and family.
Had a medical RFE this month to resubmit as previous one was filed in Nov 2022 and expired. They received the response yesterday and approved the cases today.
I am grateful to this community for all the support. Hope this gives hope and excitement to others in waiting. Wishing everyone get their cases to be approved soon.
🙏🙏

My green card was approved!!!
we had the interview on the 28, in the San Antonio field office in TX. She asked: when we got married and where did we meet?. how I got in the country and if my visa was expired?. after that she looked at her computer for like an hour without talking to us. it was really stressful. she also asked why I didn’t renew my F1 visa( which is the visa I got here with) and I told her the reason. at the end of almost an hour in a half she said she needed to confirm with her supervisor if she could approve the case since I overstayed my visa. and that it would take three weeks for us to know.
Yesterday I got the notification that it was approved!!!
so much relief after finally seeing it was approved.
Good luck everyone yours is close!
