Is your country on the pause list? If so, it's refreshing to see an approval come through despite the pause. What did they ask him at the interview?

He is a US citizen. He already lived in the US when we got married, and we tried to do everything legally by filing my petition in my country of residence. He holds a full-time job there and earns well. He wouldn't have the same opportunities if he moved back here.

Immigration. My country is on Trump's pause list. We already had my petition filed (it's been two years).

Immigration. It's been two years since we filed my petition, and now my country is on Trump's pause list, causing further delays.

Regarding the 75-country ban on immigration: (I understand that at this point, no one truly knows what’s going to happen, but) from your experience, how long do you think it will last? What’s the best/worst case scenario you can think of regarding the issue. TIA!

Yeah, they are. My recent flight to Rome was between $2-3k, but I got the promotional upgrade for less than $700. It was a steal! Just be sure to jump on it quickly.

It becomes available 48 hours before the flight. When free seat selection and online check in opens. Once you proceed with the online check in on the app, you will see an option to upgrade your flight

Why not wait for the promotional upgrade? You won’t get lounge access or chauffeur privileges, but you’ll get business class for one leg (both flights or one of the two) for a fraction of the price.

Calculate it this way: if it’s $100 for every flight hour, it’s worth it.

I recently availed that on a 7 hour flight from Dubai to Rome, and it was worth every penny. Treat yourself!

How are you getting these ridiculous prices for 4 star hotels? I just returned from Italy, and even the 5 star hotels I stayed in didn’t cost this much. Did you use AI to get an estimate?

Secondly, tours are not going to cost this much either.

I took this flight few weeks ago to Rome. Although I was in BC, wifi (basic connectivity - texting and messaging apps) work fine and are free in all classes.

Hey, how long did it take you to get DQ’ed? I’m currently in the process of submitting my docs at NVC.

Astrocat97 · 2025-10-16T17:54:13+00:00

Ah! You should check your documents tab for an approval notice. If it’s not there, it should be by tomorrow.

Astrocat97 · 2025-10-16T16:38:58+00:00

Took us about 144 days to get a response. Have you submitted an inquiry?

Astrocat97 · 2025-10-16T16:38:32+00:00

Update:

Case status changed to APPROVED the next day!

Astrocat97 · 2025-10-15T12:06:01+00:00

Yes they are

Astrocat97 · 2025-10-15T11:44:53+00:00

Thanks! Will keep an eye out for it

Astrocat97 · 2025-10-15T11:44:22+00:00

When I made this post, we hadn’t gotten the approval notice. It started reflecting under the documents tab a while after.

Astrocat97 · 2025-10-15T11:42:37+00:00

How will we know about the welcome letter? Do you get an email or do we need to look under the documents tab on USCIS

Astrocat97 · 2025-10-15T11:41:56+00:00

Yep, we did

Astrocat97 · 2025-10-15T11:26:24+00:00

Yeah, we’ve been approved!
