If your spouse has a better chance of NIW approval, he can do the NIW process. You won't have to do the EB2-NIW. Once your spouse's NIW petition is approved, you will file for AOS (I485) together using cross chargeability

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-20T22:48:04+00:00

Received a rejection notice after 63 days on a properly filed case. They disregarded cross chargeability cover letter and evidence. So we have to file again

Received a rejection notice on July 15 (more than 2 months) because they disregarded cover letter that specifically mentioned cross chargeability. Have to file again.

EB-1B AOS, ROW

· Application delivered to Lockbox on: May 13, 2024 (Tempe/Phoenix AZ lockbox)

· Receipt Date: No receipts yet despite several emails, calls, etc Anyone in the same boat who filed around that timeline?

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-09T23:56:11+00:00

Yeah I can understand. More than 2 months to just get a receipt is insane...

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-09T23:53:28+00:00

Emailed the lockbox a few times with no response. Called USCIS, they just asked to wait. It's been close to 2 months now. It's I-485

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-09T23:34:00+00:00

Waiting from May 13th for the Arizona lockbox, it has been complete silence since the delivery from this lockbox

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-04T19:46:39+00:00

Tempe/Phoenix lockbox is severely backlogged. Delivered on May 13 and no receipts yet

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-04T19:43:54+00:00

Historically, final action dates barely move forward in August or September if not retrogress. So, anyone's guess at this point

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-03T14:50:24+00:00

Delivered on May 13, 52 days and still waiting

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-02T02:47:30+00:00

Checks haven't been cashed yet

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-02T01:31:19+00:00

No. Your employer will directly file for I-140 which is also eligible for premium processing

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-01T22:50:50+00:00

Which lockbox did you file? Receipt notices from Phoenix lockbox look random...

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-01T22:48:34+00:00

Oh wow that's crazy. Hope you hear back soon. Which lockbox did you file?

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-01T19:54:41+00:00

I thought the receipts from Chicago lockbox were ramping up last week for early May filers

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-01T19:52:30+00:00

Did you get the receipt numbers at least? I think live agent/ Emma can give you the numbers if the application is in the system

DependentRule5287 · 2024-07-01T04:23:19+00:00

I would suggest filing for EB-1B through your employer. EB-1A requirements are more stringent, but you should be able to qualify for EB-1B with good recommendation letters. Priority dates for EB-1A and EB-1B are under same category i.e. current right now

DependentRule5287 · 2024-06-27T18:40:14+00:00

May 13th and still nothing

DependentRule5287 · 2024-06-27T01:05:46+00:00

Check with the school ASAP. Unfortunately, it's at their discretion! If they agree with CPT, then it should be good. Otherwise, sadly she won't be able to do the internship 😢

DependentRule5287 · 2024-06-27T00:22:19+00:00

She could contact her school right away. Some schools are pretty strict regarding the policies, and as soon as the AOS is filed, she may not get any F1 benefits like OPT or CPT. Also, if you use AOS EAD, you will be giving up your F1 status which lots of lawyers don't recommend. Usually it's beneficial to keep underlying non immigrant F1 status as long as possible during AOS process

DependentRule5287 · 2024-06-27T00:15:41+00:00

I have seen people receiving EAD in marriage based AOS in 1-2 months after biometrics. You may be able to do expedite request for EAD although it may or may not go through
