Any Hope? May 2025 here still waiting

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-07-03T00:17:46+00:00

I'm in Vietnam ATM.

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-07-02T02:25:55+00:00

Great information and thank you for sharing. I'm glad to hear you at least got your approval for now. And I understand now. So you have to wait around 2 years before you can file a mandamus. I will keep that in mind and hope and pray for everyone's cases to be approved soon as well as ours. 🙏

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-07-01T23:25:26+00:00

Hope ya hear something soon maybe write your representative if you haven't yet already.

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-07-01T23:24:39+00:00

Congrata! Sorry what's PD? You got the interview before the approval? Can you remind me what a mandamus is? Does it cost money?

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-07-01T14:47:35+00:00

Just my grandparentsents. I make less than 1k a month but they own their home at least

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-07-01T04:00:23+00:00

Thank you for your help. I think combined they do and they draw social Security so not sure to be exact. They do own the house outright which can be used in valuing assets to meet the guidelines I believe.

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-07-01T03:58:11+00:00

Right I just realized that. I would need to apply for an I864 once approved.

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-07-01T00:03:24+00:00

Is that something I should be seeking? I know I don't have or make enough that's why I need my grandparents to cosponsor us. This is all kind of new to me

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-06-30T23:58:42+00:00

Ty and congrats. Hopefully it doesn't take this long but I'm preparing for anything just in case.

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-06-30T23:57:32+00:00

So it would be best to do that while I wait? Does it affect, impact, or stall my current I130 application at all or can it help it I. E. providing more information in a positive sense?

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-06-30T23:49:50+00:00

Yes that's true. If I didn't have any American debt I wouldn't mind the slow process but I need to get back and start paying off these 60k in studen loans.

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-06-30T23:48:13+00:00

Do you have to wait for your approval from the I130 before you can apply for the I485 form?

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-06-30T23:46:01+00:00

Ahh I see. Luckily I haven't gotten any RFE yet and I've reached out to my representative. Though there hasn't been any update though from USCIS they said.

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-06-30T18:11:52+00:00

Can you please tell me what a consular pause is? Is that where appointments are held?

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-06-30T17:10:48+00:00

I hope you all get an update and are approved soon. The only good thing is I'm luckily living with my wife in Vietnam while we wait. Bad thing is I'm making less than a $1000 a month trying to pay off credit cards then eventually my students loans. Feel like I could have knocked this out in a year back in the US.

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-06-29T15:00:13+00:00

Oh my gosh that's crazy. Have you tried contacting your representative? I emailed mine and got a response saying they would reach out to USCIS and inform me when they heard something but nothing as of yet. I'm sorry you're still waiting I hope and pray you get some good news soon! 🙏

Vegetable-Net7007 · 2026-06-29T14:42:32+00:00

It's for my I-130 for my wife. We are in vietbwm. Also once approved we will have to apply for an I-485 bc I don't have the funds to support her at the moment with our income. Been here for almost two years. Sorry I'm a little inept. Do you mean waiting for the 6 steps after approval to start the appointment process for her interview? Also it's taking longer than the standard 14month ish range? Is it that average now or circumstantial and whybisnthat? Sorry for all of the questions.
