Case Processing
Submitted without a lawyer, Approved without an interview in 9 months-Army wife 🙏🏾
Hopefully now the NVC stage for my children can begin and won’t take a longtime considering it’s being done externally. This has been such a nerve racking and tedious experience- constantly wondering if an error was made, if an RFE will be sent out which would cause a delay in the overall case, if your file is lost or misplaced somewhere over there due to how long it’s being “reviewed”, but I’m grateful we’re finally halfway there to the reuniting of my family. I haven’t seen my children in 3 years and they’ve grown so much 😢 I’ve got so much catching up to do 🙏🏾 now we can all somewhat breathe a sigh of relief

Marriage while I485 is pending
Hi All. My EAD & AP got approved last week. I expect that I485 may get approved in a couple of months. I485 status is CRP.
Considering all this, if I marry before I485 approval, then how it works for my husband? Will he be automatically fall under my status (CRP?) or should he start from scratch?
Incredible timeline for us 🙌🏼🥲
We were ready for a VERY long wait considering overstay and DIY (no lawyer), but this has been the best Valentine’s day surprise ever!
EAD Approved in Documents Tab on 02/02, I-130 was approved in petitioner’s Documents tab 24hrs before I-485 did.

Doing taxes, question?
My wife and I got married abroad this past fall 2023. She is waiting to come to USA. When filing taxes, I file as married. Since she is not in USA, do I include her in my taxes or not? She has a SSN from time in USA before from her exchange stay. I was just wondering if it's needed for NVC later or not. If anyone might know, I appreciate it? Thanks!
