Will a visa be approved at the interview for citizens of 75 countries that are on the banned entry list?
Hello!
Maybe someone knows what to do now, if the I-130 form has been approved. Will the immigration visa be approved at the interview if my country is on the list of banned 75 countries? And what should we do next? Thanks!
Should I wait or upgrade to PP?
This is my timeline, and I’m quite hesitant about upgrading to PP because I don’t have the funds to do so. If I were to apply for PP, I would then need to apply for I-485 for the entire family. However, I’m considering borrowing money if applying for PP is worth it, given that I’ve already been waiting for 202 days. I would greatly appreciate your insights on this matter.
Thanks,

advance parole
Has anyone been approved for an I-131 Advance Parole under VAWA while still having a previously issued Advance Parole from a prior marriage-based case that was later withdrawn?
If so, did you have to return the old Advance Parole document, or did USCIS simply approve and issue a new one under the VAWA case?
VAWA RFE and including Medicals.?
can someone share their experience I’m working on responding RFE on my VAWA case and I’m Thinking of adding my medicals as well since they are already done.
Any suggestion or should I wait until they request for a I-485 application?
what are the downsides or upsides?

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The problem is that this old AP is tied to a prior I-485 that was withdrawn (USCIS received the withdrawal, but never updated the status).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If the old I-485 was withdrawn, the AP shouldn’t be valid.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?
