Case Processing
I-130 Unsolicited Evidence (will it help?)
Hi everyone!
My PD is July 28th, 2023, and my case entered the "Actively being reviewed by USCIS" status on October 21st, 2023.
I'm looking for some guidance regarding uploading additional evidence to support my bonafide marriage through the Unsolicited Evidence upload tab. The challenge I'm facing is that my spouse lives abroad, which prevented us from sharing joint bank statements and a joint lease/rent. Thus, In my initial package, I submitted engagement party photos, wedding photoshoot pictures, various photos of us with family members in different locations, our marriage certificate*,* civil status documents for both of us indicating our marital status, with each other and screenshots of our publicly shared photos on Instagram.
Now, I'm considering submitting pictures of gifts we exchanged, tickets from visits I made before and after our marriage, and some other supporting evidence. However, I'm concerned whether this additional documentation might cause a delay in my case.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and advice on whether I should proceed with submitting this additional evidence. Have any of you been in a similar situation, and if so, did it impact the processing time?
Thank you in advance for your insights!
Case approved!
Thanks God the infamous backlog is surely going away.
I'm so happy it finally happened.
9 months waiting for our approval, no RFE was needed.

485 processing time for eb3
My perm got approved recently.
prevailing wage file 5/22
perm file 12/22
perm approved 11/23
I am on OPT which expires in March.
Now I want to apply for I140 and I485 together but visa bulletin is not current for adjustment of status(485). If I do premium processing for I140, can I apply for 485 based on my PWD and perm filling date?
So that my status will be pending after my OPT expires. please let me know if I am missing anything. Thank you.
has anyone had their case “reopened” by U.S. embassy?
my wife’s 5 year bar is up and we contacted the embassy to set up an interview for her visa. we got an email from the embassy asking for a medical exam and passport book. When we looked into the CEAC and saw the IV application says “reopened” but we didn’t get any new messages.
we didn’t receive a new date for her interview so we’re assuming we must first update the DS-260 and then we get an interview date? has this happens to anyone else? #ceac #ds260 #embassy #nvc #i-130

I-751
My I-751 case status just changed today, almost two weeks after the interview. I'd like to share my experience with the USCIS Potomac Center.
The interview was brief and straightforward. Both my husband and I entered the officer's room, and he appeared calm and friendly. The questions asked were:
Who is he (my husband)?
Where does he live?
How did you meet?
What did he do when you met him?
Afterwards, the officer reviewed the documents we provided:
Electric bill with both our names
Dental insurance
Our child's birth certificate
However, the officer deemed these insufficient due to a lack of updates and requested additional evidence such as tax returns and photos. My husband explained our situation, mentioning the absence of a joint account and limited photos. I jokingly asked if we needed to undergo another interview, to which the officer responded with a laugh, assuring that it wasn't necessary but providing a paper for submitting additional evidence on the following Wednesday.
Two days later, I submitted a package containing photos, an Amazon delivery receipt with our home address, and a letter from a neighbor to the USCIS. Unfortunately, security prevented me from reaching the officer's room, instructing me to sign a document and place it with the package in a drop box at the front desk.
Two weeks later, I checked my status, which had changed to "Interview was canceled." Two days after that, it updated to "Approved." I hope this experience proves helpful to someone enduring the I-751 wait for nearly two years, as I did!
