Case Processing
EXPEDITE
I filed my I-360 (VAWA) and I-485 together in May 2022, and I’ve been waiting for almost 53 months now.
Unfortunately, the business I work for is being shut down due to a City Council decision, so I’m going to lose my job and my only source of income. My EAD is still valid, but I’ll be facing serious financial difficulties, especially with rent and living expenses.
Can I request an expedite for my I-360 based on financial hardship, even though my EAD is still valid?
Has anyone been in a similar situation or successfully expedited their VAWA case due to financial hardship? Does waiting almost 53 months make any difference?
EB-2 Follow-to-Join: NVC Expedited Case to Embassy, I-824 Pending
I became a permanent resident through EB-2 adjustment of status. My child was already registered as a derivative beneficiary in CEAC.
NVC issued an “Expedite Notification” and transferred our immigrant visa case to the U.S. Embassy before my I-485 was approved.
After I adjusted status, NVC explicitly instructed me in writing that I must file Form I-824 for eligible family members to follow to join. I followed those instructions, and my I-824 is currently pending.
CEAC still shows the case at the Embassy, with my child listed as a derivative beneficiary.
My question: Since the case was already expedited and transferred to the Embassy, is I-824 approval still required, or can the Embassy process my child’s follow-to-join visa using my approved I-485 and Green Card?
Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

F2B 2025 visas data analysis
I did my research based on the publicly available data posted by USCIS at the beginning of 2026 for F2B category. So according to the data, USCIS is issuing or using only 46% of all available visas in F2B category and leaving the rest of it unused or transferring these unused visas to the employment category. The majority of recipients are coming from 3 countries: Dominican Republic, Mexico, Filipinos. There were only 2 F2B visas issued to Canada, 1 to Ukraine, 4 to India. and so on. I wanted to share with you this data and let you know that the visa you are waiting for is available but it is not being processed for whatever reason and it is your responsibility to call USCIS or submit a request to find out the status of your application.

“Interview cancelled and notice ordered”
Got an interview cancellation notice today for my I-485 (EB4) — case went straight to "Interview Cancelled And Notice Ordered," no new interview date given. I'm currently in active mandamus action (USCIS's answer is soon). Has anyone seen an interview get cancelled like this, and did it end up being a reschedule, a decision, or something else? A little worried here.
39 countries how much longer? 😔
This is really getting out of hand, justice for us on the 39 countries list, this is really really exhausting, after DQ in April, when I thought me and my wife were almost on the finish line, 75 countries ban was lifted and booom... Nigeria is among the 39 countries on ban, wahala no dey finished.
I keep asking do they know how much separating family can be painful?
