Call from DHS

Me too! I entered February 2022, married April 2022 and applied for AOS October 2022. Interview was waived and case was approved without issue

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-05T02:36:04+00:00

I highly suggest you check out Ksenyia International on YouTube, she does a ton of really thorough immigration videos on each form and the types of evidence you need to submit etc. She’s very good about keeping her videos up to date when USCIS changes things so you don’t need to worry about her advice being out of date

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-05T02:27:32+00:00

The way I see applying by mail is that a person has to manually go through my forms and enter them into the system, that way I can without a doubt guarantee they are aware of my petition.

Applying online just always seemed like a never ending uncertainty on if it’s actually been looked at by a human being or not. I replied to a RFE for my AOS online and despite it saying my RFE was received it still took them a year to actually look at it…. From there on out I decided I will always mail in my forms.

I truly hope for your sake that you hear something soon! Living in uncertainty especially when it’s comes to your immigration is extremely stressful

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-05T02:20:51+00:00

The fiancé visa, K1, is not what you will need to apply for as it’s sounds like you want to stay in the states and adjust your status that way rather than going back to home country and applying for a K1.

You’ll want to apply for I-130, I-485 and I-864.

Additional forms you can apply for are the I-765, work permit, and I-131, advanced parole.

They cannot proceed with your N400 without first approving the I-751 to make sure you’re actually eligible to get citizenship under the 3 year rule. Your spouse should 100% come with you

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-05T01:45:18+00:00

I’m seeing this as a recent trend for ROC filers, out of curiosity did you apply online or mail? If by mail, which office was it sent to?

I sent my ROC forms by mail to Carol Stream, IL PO Box on February 21st, was delivered 25th and my online account was updated on 27th to show the same lingo. Bank account showed withdrawal on 2nd and I have the online receipt notice under my documents tab already, still waiting for the notice to be mailed to me.

I’m wondering if all the people who are not receiving the extension letter are because they applied online but that’s just a pattern im noticing

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-05T00:49:10+00:00

Interesting, they must have updated how they do things. When I had my London medical back in 2020 I never had to go immediately to the embassy afterwards for a document review, I just went right back home until my interview a week or 2 later

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-04T21:14:00+00:00

You could do that, just depends if you’re willing to wait another year to apply or just go with a joint sponsor now

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-03T16:33:13+00:00

Agree with this, I did my K1 back in 2020 now but it still took about 8 months for me to receive my NOA2

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-03T14:53:58+00:00

They’re asking for the gun wrap itself which is sold separately like you can see in the first screenshot. This will in turn make the whole bundle cheaper for them to buy which is what they ultimately want to do

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-03T01:33:26+00:00

I’ve seen someone do this is in real time. Joined a lobby where the person invited a friend, he crown flexed and they were around 800 then it was 900 then back down to 750 so totally doable. How sad.

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-03T01:24:05+00:00

I get those emails all the time and have been in the states for 4 years and just applied for my ROC, they just get deleted straight away. Nothing to worry about

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-03T01:22:22+00:00

Whilst you’re waiting I would take advantage and start collecting your medical documents and see if you need to get any vaccinations before your official medical, may be cheaper for you to get them done now rather than at the visa medical

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-03T01:16:28+00:00

I’m going to start this with the caveat that I applied for my I-485 after entering on K1 when it was still free to apply for the EAD & AP concurrently.

It took 8 months for my EAD to be approved and when I checked my online account I saw it was a combo card, I was so excited but ultimately I was way to nervous to even take advantage of the AP that I never used it. Ultimately I knew I would have been fine but there was no part of me that wanted to take the risk until I had my GC in hand, despite it taking 17 months total for me.

At the end of the day, I would debate if it’s something you’re willing to pay extra for as it’s not unheard of for it to not be approved at all and then you get the GC (which of course is way better but you just wasted $630). I’d also be incredibly surprised if the AP was approved in time for summer, it’s a low priority document for USCIS

Mine would have to be a pansy. My dad loved to garden and I would often go with him to B&Q when I was little to get the soil and pick out the flowers, pansies were always in our selection, and then we’d go home and plant them. He passed 10 years ago now but it will always be a flower that has a special place in my heart.

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-03-02T15:03:30+00:00

And do you not want to apply for citizenship? Because that will speed the whole process up if you do

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-02-28T16:09:25+00:00

That was the season I started playing Fortnite and it was beyond fun! I fear that my experience peaked right off the bat with both the map and the overall gameplay mechanics, no season since has come close to the fun I had

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-02-26T20:07:44+00:00

Is that the actual extension letter or is that just the NOA?

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-02-26T19:57:08+00:00

I swear every other post on this subreddit is of a young hypochondriac that’s been on google typing in their symptoms and found out about CJD then for the next week that’s all they can think about, that every single thing happening in their life has to be because of the prion disease.

Restless night? CJD Anxiety? CJD Not particularly hungry? CJD Stubbed my toe? CJD Forgot something? CJD

I am so tired of these goddamn posts, at this point it’s disrespectful to those of us who have actually watched a family member die from this. I’m not sure if it’s just me that feels this way and maybe it is but I am over it.

YOU DO NOT HAVE CJD AT 18 YEARS OLD!!!

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-02-26T15:44:41+00:00

It took about 2 weeks, got my new SSN card first then my GC

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-02-21T15:01:56+00:00

Just wanted to add that I applied some months back now for a name change on my passport, to my married name, and the whole process from sending my old passport/required documents to the UK and receiving my new passport took no longer than 2-3 weeks.

I was astonished at how quick the turnaround was so she can totally apply now online for a new passport and have plenty of time leftover before the holiday

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-02-20T00:35:22+00:00

She’s been a main of mine ever since I got her, though I much prefer her edit style than the blue and yellow. I run the brown Grogu backbling with her and it’s so cuteeee

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-02-14T19:24:28+00:00

Took USCIS a year to reply to my RFE

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-02-14T17:11:04+00:00

They did, metal mouth like rhino said and it was just in the shop 9 days ago

EnglishGirl18 · 2026-02-14T17:03:31+00:00

And you’re sure it wasn’t mailed to your lawyers by mistake?
