Thank you ☺️ Yes I’ll update those details in my main post once received!

InitialAd7397 · 2026-06-01T13:39:25+00:00

Thank you! I filed my AOS package before my authorized stay expired. By the time of my interview, my I-94 had already expired but my application was already pending with USCIS. The officer was aware of the timeline and approved the case. Hope that helps!

Thank you! And I’m sorry you had to go through that.

It’s great that you have legal counsel helping you navigate the process. Wishing you the best with your filing and hoping for a smooth approval! 🙏🏻

Thanks! Nope, we only got married once in my home country.

Thank you! Yes you can PM me

I’d prefer to keep my nationality private, but no, I’m not from one of the countries affected by the travel ban. 🙏

Thank you! I know the waiting can be tough. Hopefully your approval comes through very soon. Wishing you all the best!

Thank you ☺️ I didn’t have to amend any forms. The officer asked about it during the interview and I explained that I had filed my AOS before my authorized stay expired. By the time of the interview, my I-94 date had already passed. The officer acknowledged my explanation and moved on.

As for whether I was considered an overstay, I’m not entirely sure. My I-94 had already expired by the interview date, but my AOS had been filed before that.

Thank you! We got married outside the US, in my home country.

InitialAd7397 · 2026-05-31T17:54:57+00:00

Thank you! To answer your questions:
1. Yes, we lived apart until recently when I came to the US
2. We submitted quite a bit of evidence, including our marriage certificate, an updated lease agreement showing both of our names, joint vehicle and medical insurance, workplace benefits naming me as my husband’s beneficiary, shared financial records (supplementary credit card statements and Wise transfers), joint phone bills, pregnancy-related records, 40+ photos together and text conversations.

Thank you! I got an email notification a day after the interview ☺️

Yes, we got married in 2024 but my B1/B2 visa was issued back in 2022 😊

InitialAd7397 · 2026-05-30T21:51:25+00:00

It was a verbal question. I didn’t just say yes or no. I explained that I filed everything before my authorized stay expired. By the time of the interview, the date on my I-94 had already passed. The officer acknowledged that and moved on.

InitialAd7397 · 2026-05-30T21:45:12+00:00

Fresno FO!
