congrats.can i ask you something did you have to go to manhattan?

Yes. Queens field office is located in Manhattan. Federal plaza building 9th Floor.

@E M how early do you think i should leave? i have a 2 hour drive 😔😔 mine is next month though albany was maybe supposed to be my FO but they want me to go all the way to manhattan 🥺🥺🥺

Your I-130 was not approved?

congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊

@I love, you should leave maybe 1 hour and half ahead. Taking in account of traffic and other things that might happen on the road. good luck to you

@Yanner thanks so much lol i will leave at 11 am

you’re welcome

@Crabelegs I would advise you to get there early in NYC early in the morning and occupied yourself until appointment time. NYC traffic is crazy. if you don’t use a good experienced taxi driver you can be suck in traffic for hours. But you plan to use the public transportation then you should be fine.

can I ask u something my case recieved on December 13 biometric done on January 13 I m on H1B visa my wife was born here how many months it take to approve my status i765,i130,i485

@fd di driving down there

@Fd so what time is it good for me to leave lol im trying to mapout everything in my head i do not want to miss this

what time is your interview

last time I went there from Pittsburgh to NYC it took me 11 hours when it is usually take me 7

at 1 @fd di

i dont know why they couldnt just give me albany FO lol im like 1 hour and 20 minutes as in manhattan im almost 2 hours away

if you are going by New Jersey there is work on the road plus you have the nyc traffic 😬 if my appointment was in the morning like around 10 and gps tell me it will take 3 hours to get there I woukd 3 more hours. so I would be living by 4 am. before 7 am nyc is calm but after traffic starts mainly going to Manhattan

@fd di i live in ny already upstate ny

@fd di is traffic bad in the afternoon??.why they made you travel so far??

I wasn’t going there for interview but family visit

all I know there is traffic during the day most of the time and mainly if you have to go to Manhattan. I would advise you to get closer to your interview location so don’t get late because of traffic

@fd di yea worst traffic ever

that is why you need to go early like to get there 2 or 3 hours before interview. so you have time for a plan B if there’s too much traffic . Giod luck to you

around what time your status change to approve the next day?

@julian lill in the morning.
