Case Processing
expedite request
It’s sad that they would deny my expedite request without even giving me the chance to provide evidence. My fiancée is in danger and only has a small amount of time to get out before she gets trapped there permanently. even if our visa got approved during the normal time there would be no way for her to leave. all the airports and ways out of the country will be closed off. It pisses me off that they wouldn’t even look at any evidence. my girl risked her freedom to provide me the evidence.
OMG! I’m APPROVED🎉
So as you know I was following api json updates and the action emails. Most people said when they got 1 email 2 days after they received another then approval. Also they notice that case was looked at a few times between emails. Maybe I’m crazy but it happened in that very order. #widow #I485 #USC

Eligibility to file I-485 (F2A category)
Hello everyone,
I am a F1 student and I filed I-130 last year in April. Back then my priority date wasn’t current and I didn’t file I-485. However, the recent visa bulletin shows 15JUL24 as the filing date. My petition is still at the “Case was receive …” stage, and I was wondering if I am eligible to file I-485 and I-765 at this time? my student visa may expire sometime this year, and I am worried about my status. thanks for your help!

Filing I-485 and I-130 Together or Renewing Work Permit?
Hello, I am currently in the process of EB-3 Unskilled, and I already have a pending I-485. However, I am now marrying a U.S. citizen and want to adjust my status through marriage.
My main question is: Should I file the I-485 and I-130 together (concurrent filing), or can I request to transfer my current I-485 to the new marriage-based process? I’ve heard that filing the I-130 separately may take longer, but I also don’t want to pay the I-485 fees again.
Additionally, I need to renew my Work Permit (EAD). If I proceed with the renewal, should I send a letter to USCIS stating that my adjustment of status will now be based on marriage?
Another concern: Can my current officer expedite my I-130 if I file it separately? I have already completed all steps of my EB-3 process, including the interview, and the only reason I didn’t receive my Green Card was the Visa Bulletin backlog. In this case, would I need to go through another interview for the marriage-based process?
Has anyone been in a similar situation or has recommendations on the best strategy to speed up the process?
NVC filing and Financial sponsorship.
NVC filing and sponsorship
I am a dual citizen of US and Canada,
I moved to US last year in September with a new position, so apparently I have income in US only from September 2024-December 2024 which shows that I don’t qualify to sponsor however I was continuously employed in Canada before moving to US, and I do have good savings(USD) and investments in mutual funds(in Canadian dollars). Also my current position I make good amount. However my attorney insisting on getting an additional sponsor which I could but I don’t want to rely on. What is the best case here how should I navigate this; also my attorney insisting on wage transcripts and tax transcripts from IRS which I don’t understand, I met IRS agent in person they have repeatedly told me that wage transcript is nothing but W-2 and tax transcript you can use 1040 (that’s what my CPA told me).
I don’t want to delay my processing for waiting on all of these documents and more importantly I have WOM prose pending too which I have to file my answer by March, initially I filed to seek relief in filing of I130 which was delayed, and I want to file in the court to retain jurisdiction to oversee the process while my application at NVC and consulate for any potential delays that I may see.
So how do I navigate this financial sponsorship thing.
