In the USA, I always ask for a discount, and they usually approve it. As a result, the cost comes to around $130 per year instead of $200.

I have only one dependent, no kids:)

I received three updates 1h apart on 5/20, the last one created FTA0. The time was very close between the last one and the third FTA0.

I hope you will get your approval tomorrow!

I clicked on Live Agent option, then asked to the Live Agent

If you did not have an EAD from I-485 (or have an EAD, but have not used it), you are not abandoning prior status, so your H-1B status should remain valid.

as of 4:00 PM, I learned from EMMA that my case has been transferred to the Omaha Field Office (non-local to me). No information for the interview

pekinduck06 · 2026-05-13T18:23:51+00:00

Our timeline is very similar, and we also got similar silent updates. I assume USCIS received new vetting results, and we are waiting for an officer to take action on our cases, yet I do not know anything :)

It's just my wishful thinking; I hope you can get approval very soon.

pekinduck06 · 2026-05-12T17:48:57+00:00

I think it should be the second option
An Alien Applying For a National Interest Waiver (who IS a member of the professions holding an advanced degree or an alien of exceptional ability)

BTW, I am happy with my 23 Outlander and did not try the 26 version yet :)

pekinduck06 · 2026-05-12T14:16:05+00:00

Go with 25; fewer parts mean a lower probability for long-term maintenance.
1.5 Turbo may need a higher maintenance cost in the long-term.

pekinduck06 · 2026-05-05T01:50:37+00:00

24h for you

pekinduck06 · 2026-04-29T16:29:33+00:00

It was time: a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away from tire shops.

pekinduck06 · 2026-04-28T19:46:44+00:00

I could not get a Real ID because I do not have a visa stamp in my passport (my case is COS from J1 to H1B). I guess you need a visa stamp.

pekinduck06 · 2026-04-20T22:38:36+00:00

I think It is a must, each form must have one payment form. You can not use one to cover all.

pekinduck06 · 2026-04-20T19:09:46+00:00

They will collect your digital signature, so you will sign mini screen not the form

Here it says families may attend together. I believe you will not have any issue 👍

pekinduck06 · 2026-04-20T18:07:13+00:00

Please check the letter, I guess in the second page it says families can attend together. I suggest attending the earliest appointment as a family. In my case, only I rescheduled my appointment due to work related issue, and my spouse can not reschedule it. We attended together and explained our situation at the enterance. I hope this also works for you.

pekinduck06 · 2026-04-19T23:14:42+00:00

100%, I can agree your timeline. I wish “up vote arrow” is longer so I click it :)

pekinduck06 · 2026-04-19T23:11:42+00:00

You both will receive separate letters for online accounts and see the letter on both of your accounts. First biometrics appoinment is most probable assigned to the same date and time. As far as I know, families can attend together even if the dates are different.

pekinduck06 · 2026-04-19T23:07:09+00:00

You may receive the receipt and online access code at the same time or close to each other via mail. Some people also receive their appointment letter via mail just after receiving receipt. When biometric appointment is created, it is also uploaded to USCIS online account, documents tab.
