Case Processing
charged $1020 Toronto preclearance
I have a 5 year combo card under VAWA/i485 and we are supposed to be exempt from the fee and CBP charged me anyways at Toronto pre-clearance and said they will charge $1020 every time I ask for parole back. they said under 245 in their system it’s not checked “yes” and they processed me as if I was TPS, DACA or PIP. they didn’t care about my pending 485 nor did they research the expansions. they said that’s just how they are doing it and his supervisor told him to charge me. they asked me about the abuse and photo copied the TPO I have. they told me to apply for a refund and dispute it on my own with no direction on who to contact to do so. they said if I can show they refunded me then they will update it if I have to be processed again at Toronto.
Uscis not adjusting EB2-NIW cases without PP?
I feel like Uscis is not adjusting EB2-NIW cases without PP. My PD is June 2024 and the case is still processing. I fear the dates will retrogress. I am on Lawfully premium and for weeks the number of people waiting for a decision (150) and my position 64th has not changed though the number of cases approved keeps increasing by the day. The situation is so worrying that I am considering PP but coming up with $3000 and further money for AOS is no child’s play. What advice and directions can anyone who has been through this face give.
NOIR issued after I-130 approval (divorce timing issue from India) – respond or refile?
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some opinions from people who may have dealt with NOIR situations.
My U.S. citizen husband filed a Form I-130 for me and it was approved by USCIS. During my immigrant visa interview in India, the consulate issued a 221(g) and asked for proof of divorce from my first marriage.
Timeline:
• 2017 – I had a divorce deed from my first husband in India.
• After that, I married my current husband in India.
• During visa processing the consulate requested a court divorce decree.
• I obtained a court divorce decree in 2025.
• After this, USCIS issued a NOIR (Notice of Intent to Revoke) stating that I may not have been legally free to marry when my current marriage took place.
Now we are trying to decide between two options:
Option 1: Respond to the NOIR and argue that the earlier divorce deed should be considered valid, and that the later court decree simply formalized the divorce.
Option 2: Allow the petition to be revoked, remarry now that the court divorce decree is finalized, and file a new I-130 petition.
My questions:
- Has anyone responded successfully to a NOIR involving prior divorce validity?
- If we respond and it gets denied, does it negatively affect a future petition?
- Would starting a new petition be cleaner in the long run?
- Are there any risks to responding versus refiling?
Any insights from people who have gone through similar situations would really help. Thank you.
anyone is here waiting longer than me?
if yes what was the inquiry respond? what is background check and security check actually is? is it last step like they just waiting whatever its to resolve so they can decide to decision ?
