Case Processing
I 485 interviews
Case status changed to actively being reviewed right after interview.. I had some issues with what filled with the I 485 forms and corrected it with the officer during interview.. Worried how this is going to affect me? Anyone has any similar experiences? Thanks. FYI,I 130 was approved without an interview
IR-1 Montreal CAN interview - approved and visa issued ❤️🇺🇸😎😍🇨🇦
Great experience… All went smooth for me and others today that had their documents (ORIGINALS !!!) in order. make sure you upload recent year income tax docs, that your RCMP certificate is the correct one ( one with bar code and no photos or fingerprints on it) , birth certificate, marriage certificate , divorce decree (s) if any, etc…. All must be originals or certified copies - same as what you uploaded to NVC. if that’s all in order, interview part is a breeze and easy. Staff were kind, patient and smiling reassuringly the entire time. CEAC already updated and status shows as “ISSUED”. It will take up to 10 business days to get passport back with a stamp. Good luck to all of you guys and please don’t lose hope… It’s happening to you too, sooner than you think and before you know it, this entire process will just be a distant memory. I feel like a mountain fell off my shoulders today and so will you soon my friends … Grateful to Lawfully and all of you for keeping me sane and not feeling like I’m the only one … Love to all of you ❤️❤️❤️
UPDATE: Passport with visa stamp received today (April 24-2024) !! Two days after the interview! 🙃🇺🇸
April 2023 filer approved!
I moved to the U.S. over 14 years ago and finally have a green card 😭. I just feel relief more than anything!
Important tip: My I-131 approval and my I-130/I-485 approval was triggered by uploading additional evidence to the “Unsolicited Evidence” section in the portal. Both these approvals came just a few days after we uploaded documents so I would really recommend using it! Good luck all!

can I continue consular after overstaying
I basically started my application in my home country , And came to visit my husband with absolutely no intention of overstaying. The situation was that our dog was 16 years old so I came so they can spend some time together because I don’t believe that she would’ve lived before my visa was approved. naturally, I ended up staying because My dog died within my allocated time. But my husband and a lawyer I know, told me that I would be able to stay and adjust Instead. It was a hard decision, As a you would complicate the process further but I stayed to support my husband as he worked and grieved.
My tourist B2 visa expired in December so it’s only been a few months, Less than 180 days. we haven’t filed any extensions or any sort of adjustment of status just yet, But because I’m in consular processing, would I be able to go back to my home country since it’s less than 180 days overstay? Does anybody know what form to file To return without penalty. We finally got an active review a year after submission today. So now I’m wondering if I should just stay in the country And adjust or if I should go home and complete the counsellor processing, as that would be way faster for me Obtain my green card that way.
has anyone been in a situation where there overstayed while waiting for consular processing ?
