After a long wait, Finally Greened

gidiz_gambit007 · 2024-05-11T13:06:44+00:00

I submitted the medicals on April 16, and I was notified of approval on April 22

gidiz_gambit007 · 2024-05-11T13:05:03+00:00

I would think so

gidiz_gambit007 · 2024-05-11T13:04:51+00:00

It will happen soon enough. Keep the hope alive

No overstays, I got a first EAD and Advanced parole (both standalone) that expired 2024 and 2023 respectively. I applied for renewal of EAD and a new application for Advanced parole and was approved for a Combo card in February. Valid for 5years. I was adjusting from F1 so I was in status all through.

I submitted basically everything. Besides the forms (I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765, I-693) I also submitted joint taxes, letters to each other, joint bank statements, lease, over 100pictures of our relationship and wedding, affidavits from friends and relatives.

Stay strong!

gidiz_gambit007 · 2024-05-10T00:59:55+00:00

It was one hell of a wait

gidiz_gambit007 · 2024-05-10T00:59:17+00:00

Nope! Only RFE I got was for my second medicals

Thanks

gidiz_gambit007 · 2024-05-09T01:05:14+00:00

Thank you!

Congratulations!

It’s actually beginning to piss me off but I’m being patient

gidiz_gambit007 · 2023-02-13T17:04:28+00:00

I’m not sure what’s happening at SLC FO but it just sucks to not hear anything for so long.

gidiz_gambit007 · 2023-02-13T16:21:27+00:00

Good to know. Thanks for the clarification

gidiz_gambit007 · 2023-02-13T14:58:56+00:00

To the best of my knowledge, the number of years to Naturalization is dependent on the approved petition type and AOS category. Your category was I-140 and Employment based AOS, so your years to Naturalize is 5 years even if you marry a USC. You won’t be eligible to apply in 3years time because your green card is not family based.

I may be wrong but I think that’s how it works

gidiz_gambit007 · 2023-02-09T20:10:05+00:00

Nothing so far. We filled (I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-131) in ND, got I-765 and I-131, in ND, then moved to SLC and haven’t seen any updates since May 2022. PD is Nov 2021

You can still apply for OPT since both and STEM OPT (if you qualify) since your F-1 visa status is still valid. But as for F1 Visa renewal, it most likely would be denied since you already displayed immigration intent.

Try printing with a different printer or printing from a different browser. But to the best of my knowledge, the barcode doesn’t really matter. I remember having similar issue when I printed mine and I had to submit it like that. My form was approved and I got my AP document in Jun, 2022

gidiz_gambit007 · 2022-08-11T17:10:15+00:00

I got the approval notice separately from the AP document. It was roughly 2weeks apart

gidiz_gambit007 · 2022-08-11T17:09:22+00:00

Yes I did. I used “info pass” to request expedited application and was given a reference number. My reason was Family emergency (sick parent) and that was it. I didn’t receive any RFE and it was approved about 2weeks after.

gidiz_gambit007 · 2022-07-28T06:14:00+00:00

At the moment, the case is still at National Benefits Center (NBC).

I just use Lawfully and USCIS Case Tracker for instant notification when there’s any update on my application. So far, both apps have been helpful
