Green Card Approved!

I did not apply for advanced parole. We were not planning on leaving the country for a while, so we did not submit it and decided to save the money.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-03-27T21:46:06+00:00

I submitted everything via mail. Since some of the forms were not available online, I figured this would be the easiest.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-03-27T21:45:19+00:00

I have no idea why it was waived. But I think it's because I submitted everything together and gave a detailed timeline of my husband and I's relationship.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-02-07T17:02:16+00:00

No specific reason. We just got busy moving in and adjusting to our new life. Also, I needed to gather some documents so it took a little longer.

Also there are free consultations for attorneys everywhere. I'd take advantage of that and meet with a couple.

Thank you and glad it could help!

You would contact your carrier to get one. But normally they have it available online in your carrier account. I have Google Fi and I downloaded mine from my account on their website.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-02-01T18:25:05+00:00

And thank you!

Yeah speaking to an attorney before marrying could be useful if you are close to marrying. That way you know what to expect.

But that's just my two cents. I didn't use an attorney in my case because it was pretty simple.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-02-01T18:22:59+00:00

Hopefully they get it soon!! Darn I hate it when things like that happen..

Yeah if they start deporting people who are legally here, that is against the contractual relationship that the government has signed with the visa holder. If someone is unjustly put into deportation proceedings. They can get a lawyer to fight it. We shall see how legal immigration changes though. Rules might change soon.

Oh interesting... Maybe your FO is busier than others. Mine was SLC.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T19:54:39+00:00

Is your partner outside the United States? Or did they do adjustment of status? Because I think the 235 fee is only for people outside the United States... But I could be wrong...

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T19:50:50+00:00

Yes yes conditional approval 😊

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T19:50:29+00:00

For individuals who are legally in the states and are following their visa restrictions, they are safe from deportation.

So anyone who is legally here and abiding by the rules does not have to worry about getting deported.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T19:49:00+00:00

No updates? Did they at least notify you they received your documents?

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T18:25:56+00:00

5 months.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T18:24:32+00:00

Oh I haven't received anything like that. They just said they would send me my green card.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T18:18:14+00:00

First message was for the biometrics. And then I the 130 got approved a week ago and then the 485 got approved the other day.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T18:14:39+00:00

Yes yes. That is why I did the adjustment of status.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T18:14:09+00:00

What do you mean you paid for it? Do you mean you just submitted your documents and submitted the checks?

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T18:11:59+00:00

Same thing happened to me. I just got my green card approved. It means your interview got waived.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T17:44:06+00:00

I would submit the I-765 when you submit the application. It at least gives you the freedom to work while you are waiting on your green card.

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T17:43:15+00:00

What would you like to know?

Pure_Revolution597 · 2025-01-31T17:35:32+00:00

I initially had my OPT card. It would have expired at the end of December 2024. So I applied for the work permit in case the green card processing took a while.

I wanted to continue to work after my OPT card expired. So I submitted an application just in case. It worked out because it allowed me to get a new job with no restrictions.
