QUESTION
Good day. I am the wife of a US citizen. Our case is now in NVC. We are currently waiting for the date of my interview, which will be held in Georgia. That is, I will have to go there. I would like to know how long after the interview they give the answer? That is, approximately how long should I stay there?
I’m back to JFK with Advance Parole / Pending VAWA
Hi everyone,
I would like to share my travel experience for those who keep trying to find an accurate information.
I got my combo card based on my marriage for two years, then I filed VAWA & divorced. My 2 years valid card is going to expire next month. I haven’t receive my combo card based on VAWA yet.
On my last arrival the officer admitted me as LPR and before I leave, I went back to CBP office and ask them if they can fix it, so that I can have a valid I-94 record. They fix it and void my LPR stamp on the passport.
So today, 45 minutes ago, I landed to JFK from a Schengen country, it was quick line, took less than 10 minutes. When I was in front of the officer, I gave my passport with my combo card.
He didn’t ask me anything, the only question was if I have any alcohol, tobacco etc. I said no. he left from his desk and told me to follow him, we went to second inspection room together. I just sit like 4 minutes, I was really nervous for a second but they all seem so friendly and kind. So officer gave my passport to another officer at the inspection room and he left, they didn’t talk either.
The new officer probably checked my prior arrival record and if my I-485 is still pending, he stamp my passport and wrote paroled until next year.
All process took less then 10 minutes, no question, no conversation.
So, if you have a valid advance parole with a pending I-485, (I don’t have a prior over stay or criminal record) do not hesitate to travel but of course always ask your lawyer.
It’s been a long journey…
Only God knows how I anxious & hopeless I feel every day. I’m really tired of checking this app…. My I-130 was finally approved a month ago and still nothing on my I-485. Please send a prayer for me & for everyone out there waiting this long…
“Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received and it will be yours”
Amen!

k-3 experiences
does anyone have experience with submitting k3 to speed up the i-130 process for a spouse outside of the us ? ours was received by vermont in September and our i-130 was transferred from Texas to Vermont 24 days ago. is this a good sign?
