I think it is a mistake to keep treating these clues as CP or AOS specific. Early on, when Noem announced the pause, some assumed that meant they could switch to CP and get different treatment. That assumption was incorrect, and sure enough within a few days it was shown to be wrong. The clock...

Quick update - 2NLs for February interviews just started - so that seems to confirm the approach that the DoS statement said they would do, i.e. interviewing, but placing people on 221g for the time being while the pause is in place. Why is this significant? Well telling someone to prepare for...

I think it is not true to assume CP is any better than AOS in terms of processing. USCIS (Noem) were first to publish their policy to explain a hold and in that policy they say "1 A “hold” allows a case to proceed through processing, up to final adjudication. A “final adjudication” refers to...

OK

1. You are already current, so DO NOT resubmit the ds260. Once resubmitted, they won't allow further unlocking. 2. I don't understand why you are delaying the marriage. Get it done ASAP. 3. I would not advise the Utah zoom method. It will create questions. Why not just marry now.

Possibly. There is an unverified copy of a cable (attached) sent by Rubio that seems to suggest they will stop the acceptance of the I-134, and will revert instead to the total circumstances. We haven't seen any official confirmation or change in the rules as of now, BUT that could happen in...

Interesting. That suggests they are working on extra cases... we'll see on January 1

Not Sydney on Wednesday - right? They normally only do Tuesdays...

Did you read the guides linked from the first post in this thread? Start there.

Relax. It's mid November. There is plenty of time to sort things out.

Sydney rarely asks for proof of funds, but they could do so, depending on the circumstances of the applicant. So - if you want you could try interviewing without financials, or get ready for that question just in case. $15K per person is good if asked, but an I-134 is ideal.

Congrats on the marriage
