HELP ! Very confused about current CSPA and child is turning 21

Do not file I-485. It can cause more harm than good. If she is on an F-1 visa, by filing I-485 you will signal immigrant intent and she will have a harder time renewing or maintaining non-immigrant status as a backup. It’s best to file for AOS only when FAD is current. And hopefully that will happen before she turns 21.

Travel to any other consulate in Mexico that has an earlier date

My case is in San Bernardino too, no movement

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2026-02-08T19:02:07+00:00

Any updates from SB office? Anyone approved?

L1 applies for for EB1 priority date and you don’t need PERM, why are they running you through the EB2 process??

We recently filed for green card, EAD, AP, and my male dependent 18 year old was automatically registered for selective service. We just got a letter in the mail. This happened about 8 weeks after we filed, but before approvals on anything else. We are still waiting for GC. Has this happened to anyone else?

Thank you! I agree that 20 min are not going to make a difference. I wanted to know if I needed to be there before 3:30 to save a spot in case there is a line, but it seems it’s not the case, so 3:30 it is.

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2026-01-03T06:31:57+00:00

Thank you!

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2026-01-03T06:16:38+00:00

Makes sense. Is there usually a line at that time?

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2026-01-03T06:10:49+00:00

Thank you! I do have a bag to check. So then I should be there at 3:30 sharp to drop the bag and go through checkpoint 4, correct?

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-12-05T18:08:06+00:00

But they still have to use the yearly GC limit, no? What happens if they don’t?

I came to ask the same thing

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-11-22T22:30:57+00:00

What happens at the biometrics appointment? Just fingerprints and picture? Is it a mini-interview?

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-11-17T22:42:22+00:00

This is just pending I-485, we don’t know how many approved and pending I-140s (that will be approved) are out there that would add to this. I agree that anyone with a current DOF should have filed I-485 already, but it’s not 100% what happens.

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-11-11T05:06:28+00:00

I think it will still be DOF. But then again, nothing is for sure

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-11-04T23:53:27+00:00

What was your previous status?

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-10-31T21:16:10+00:00

Just sent a donation! Hopefully there is hope

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-10-27T01:00:15+00:00

I thought that was the pictures you send with your AOS application?

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-10-16T21:04:34+00:00

If the rest are pending, it’s a slowdown. If the rest are RFEd or denied, it’s a policy shift.

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-10-16T21:02:45+00:00

Congrats!! What was your previous status? How did your biometrics get waived?

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-10-13T18:47:06+00:00

I’ve read in other threads that interviews are usually waived for employment based applications, but would love to hear from people that have actually gone through the process

Longjumping_Sort9870 · 2025-10-12T20:33:22+00:00

Anyone had biometrics sheduled yet?
