🔴Consular Processing🔴 WHAT IS NEXT NVC? thanks 🙏
Everything in our portal in the Consular Electronic Application Cebter shows accepted. But then in emails it requests my divorce decree again and W-2. Why would I need to submit again if accepted? thanks

After my Boston asylum interview in June, the officer kept my original passport and documents. Is this normal?
Hello everyone, I have a question about my recent interview.
I had my asylum interview at the Boston Asylum Office in June 2025. At the end, the officer kept my original passport and all my original papers.
Is this a common practice? Any information you can

I received a RFE in January/2025 but no answers yet.
Anyone with the same date here? Marriage with a american citizen.
I have a wedding outside US in November but I’m a little bit worried to go with my parole :/

I-360
I filed I-360 in 2019 which was denied in 2021 for not meeting timelines for more evidence. I refiled again in 2023 with all other extra documents requested and got prima facied thereafter. To my surprise, my older form is beginning to be processed with starts saying additional documents were received. My question is did they merge both internally or is it a system error?
Finally it’s approved from Santa Ana FO

I-130 Application After Interview
Hi,
My spouse's I-130 was approved and had an interview today. However, after an interview, the consular officer gave a letter saying additional administrative processing is required, but no further action is needed from our end. I’m confused.
Has anyone been through this process or what does it mean? please advise on what we should expect next.
Welcome letter pending
Hello guys,
7 months ago and NVC still didn`t send to me the WELCOME LETTER, every month I send inquiry and I received same response [ because ur not current we cannot process your case] .
any one still waiting for welcome letter from NVC.
any advice or help.
note: my 140 already approved before 7 months.
Approved finally
For kids you had to provide a birth folio instead of the birth certificate. it put back the decision a few days, but for me it was relatively quick, 2 days after I uploaded the folio a decision was made for both kids cases.
