Do you know how long does this take to get welcome letter from NVC? and after getting it do I need to upload proofs of relationship in this step?
Thank you for sharing your experience here

Renewing c9 EAD and AP based on pending 485
Hi Dear Friends,
like many of you, I’ve been waiting for my 485 priority date to become current for a good 3 years (33 mos actually). My combo card is expiring at the end of this month, and I filed the renewal 765 & 131 forms mid February.
I could see that the receipt noticed was sent on Feb21, but all I have received (as of March 03) is a “biometrics reuse” 797 document which says my renewal forms were received and biometrics info from last year will be reused.
Now I’m afraid my HR and DMV won’t accept this “biometrics reuse I797 document” as my EAD automatic extension proof. Have you received an actual receipt saying the current EAD will be extended?
I sent the application materials to Chicago as suggested by USCIS, but the biometrics reuse document was sent from NBC. Now I’m not sure if there is a receipt in addition to the biometrics reuse notice.
vaccination/medical exam
hi!
we're at NVC stage now, i have to get through medical exam soon.
I checked about vaccines, and I'm confused about Hepatitis B one.
I got it when I was 2 years old so it has been more than 25 years now. Should I get new shots ? it's a 3 shot vaccination I should start soon if I want everything up to date for my medical exam.
(I'm on cr1- consular processing)
Any March 2022 filers? did you receive approval on VAWA ?
Can we please start sharing progress for March filers? anyone have premium membership, could you please help me current backlogs and ranks?
I was able to see the number of cases USCIS is approved compared last month. from last few days I couldn’t see that option anymore.
From 19 months to 13, how accurate this is?
I logged in to my uscis account and I see that I-130 & I-485 both have changed from 19 to 13 months for an estimated case decision this change is from January to March. How accurate is this estimate? Also biometrics was done early January and I-765 has been approved as well.
We are also still waiting on I-131 with no progress but just “Case Was Received” without any chnage in 2 months. Should we call to ask for an update?

FINALLY!
Visa appointment is next month, finally my Husband is coming home! Filed in August of 2022. Don’t give up! This long distance is not for the weak. I had health issues and then we both had some financial setbacks so we haven’t been able to see each other since 10/23…. it has been hard. There were tears, sleepless nights, depression and missing each other like crazy…. but we have that bond that so unexplainable and unconditional.
We even started making plans/lists of places/countries we could move to so we can be together. It seemed like this day would never come. We are so close and now we just can’t wait to finally begin our lives as husband and wife. My advice to everyone: Keep praying and keep your love and God at the center of your relationship. If you’re around people who are negative/naysayers and your relationship is healthy with only distance creating a challenge, cut those people off.
Don’t share the news of your appointment with anyone until it’s over and done with (I posted here but 99% of my family/friends know nothing, no IG/Facebook posts etc). The evil eye is a real thing and believe it or not there are people rooting for you to fail. Stay positive and make sure you fill your time by continuing to work on yourself and enjoy your hobbies. Make your mental and physical health a top priority and communication with your spouse is sooooo important. We are overjoyed! Best of luck everyone 💕. #Grateful 🫶🏾
