If you are separated from your children, KEEP FIGHTING TO EXPEDITE YOUR CASE!!
Good afternoon Lawfully family. Today is a happy and blessed day, I am finally taking my son with me to immigrate in the United States. We got separated for years while I was in the VAWA process in the U.S. and he was in our home country. I was waiting “patiently” a little over three years since I applied, always listening what my lawyer told me, to keep waiting and never reach out to USCIS. Well, he was definitely wrong. I was able to expedite the VAWA, I-824 (my son’s application) and even at NVC to send it directly to the consulate and expedite the interview date. If your case is legit, don’t be scared. KEEP PUSHING, KEEP TRYING, KEEP FIGHTING!!!! Also, reaching out to your Senator really helps. Tell their office that you voted and will keep voting and supporting him, and he will help you to expedite the case due to humanitarian grounds. I am grateful for God almighty and finally this wait is over, but please don’t loose 5 years away from your children like I did. it’s truly painful and no one deserves that. Good luck everyone God bless you all!!! thank you for everything!!!
I-751 (INTERVIEW CANCELLED AND NOTICE ORDERED)
Hello Guys,
I wokeup to see the message on my status this morning After 1100 days of processing.I have went for my interview since march of 2021 and fingerprints taken was applied October 2022.I need your guys advise and have anyone ever had such experience?
When does the Welcome Letter from NVC arrive?
Hello everyone!
My I-140 form has been approved, and I’m going through the consular process. However, my PD is not yet current according to the Visa Bulletin.
Could you please clarify when USCIS transfers the case to NVC after I-140 approval and when Welcome Letter from NVC typically arrives? Does this happen shortly after approval (even if the PD is not current), or only when the PD becomes current? TIA!
SIJS
Hi, good morning! How are you all doing?
I’m currently in the process of SIJS and I’m feeling a bit scared.
I have deferred action and I’m just waiting for my I-485 — my priority date is September 23, 2023.
Do you think I’m at risk of deportation? And how long do you estimate it might take for my date to be current?
(I came through the border and my removal case has been terminated.)
What makes the processing time get longer and longer??
Shouldn’t there be a fast track for marriage licenses? especially if the couple doesn’t live in the US yet and got legally married in a different country and various other clear indications that it’s not fraud?

Transfer to Queens field office(local FO)
Hi everyone,
My EB-3 I-485 case was transferred from Manchester Field Office to Queens Field Office on 08/14/2025. Queens is my local office.I had my case transferred to Manchester field office on 06/13/2025.
Has anyone here gone through the same situation recently? How long did it take after transfer for you to get a decision?I heard that queens is a very slow FO.
When can I file mandamus for I-730 for someone inside the USA?
I filed I-730 for my spouse and child August 8, 2024. The status still says fees were waived. Does anyone know if it’s okay to file mandamus cases for them?

EB2 ROW Cross-Chargeability
Hello!
I applied for I-485 AOS through Cross Chargeable through my Spuse’s Country of Birth (South Africa)
USCIS sent Application Receipt on August 5.
On Aug 13, my Spouse received RFE Notification for I-485 Application. Meanwhile, my I-485, I-765 and I-131 are all in Application Received Status.
I have two questions:
1. Will I have to wait for RFE to be Resolved for Me and My Spouse to get a Biometrics Appointment or is it something that happens in parallel while RFE is being processed?
2. Any idea what RFE Notice would be for? We sent our Marriage Certificates and Birth Certificates with the Application.
