I131 DENIED DUE TO OLD AP
Hi everyone,
My new I-131 was denied. The denial letter clearly says it’s because I already have a previously issued Advance Parole valid until 2029.
The problem is that this old AP is tied to a prior I-485 that was withdrawn (USCIS received the withdrawal, but never updated the status).
Now I’m stuck:
If the old I-485 was withdrawn, the AP shouldn’t be valid.
But USCIS denied the new I-131 saying the old AP is still valid.
Has anyone had this happen?
Did you file a motion or just reapply?
Did you travel with the old AP in this situation?
Thanks in advance.
AOS
I’m feeling really confused about whether my wife needs to provide her vaccination records for her Adjustment of Status application as there is alot of varying information online. Her medical exam was completed on October 13 2025, and she entered the United States on December 29, 2025. The forms from her medical exam were included in the packet given to Customs and Border Protection when she entered, and we haven’t gotten that packet back. Because of this, we’re unsure whether we need to submit a new Form I-693 or vaccination records, or if we don’t need to submit anything at all for her Adjustment of Status, since the exam is less than a year old. I just want to make sure we handle this correctly and don’t risk delaying her. If anyone else is going through something similar or have gone through this, what did you do? Is it required? Thank you for reading:)
American citizen applying for spouse
We got married in September 2025, submitted documents in November (4th), and have only received the receipt letters. We are in Florida. I am from Brazil and overstayed my visa. I feel like it’s taking too long, at least to get the work permit. Anyone else?

Immigrant Visa Processing Pause – Seeking Humanitarian Options /Pausa en Visas de Inmigrante – Busco Opciones Humanitarias
Hello, I have a pending F2A family petition with a priority date of March 10, 2023. With immigrant visa processing currently paused, I’m feeling desperate. Could my spouse’s health condition qualify for an expedite request? Are there humanitarian visas, parole, or other legal options that would allow me to enter the U.S. while we wait?

VAWA I-485: Address Change Advice Needed
Hi everyone,
I filed my I-485 separately after my VAWA approval. When I filed, my residence was in Brooklyn. I just finished my biometrics, and I’ve now moved to Queens.
I’m wondering if I need to update my physical address. My mailing address hasn’t changed—it’s still my lawyer’s office. If I do need to update, should I do it online, by mail (AR-11), or by phone?
Also, I’m a bit worried about the interview: if the officer asks for my current address, should I say Brooklyn or Queens? Will updating my address affect my I-485 processing or interview scheduling at this stage?
Thanks so much for any advice!
