sorry just saw the reply. Switzerland.

Anyone has experience flying with Norwegian Air with a Refugee Travel Document? I'm going to Europe soon and I have a schengen visa. Just want to make sure the airline recognizes RTD as a passport replacement.

Did anyone have experience flying with Norwegian Air with a Refugee Travel Document? Any trouble?

Hi guys - is there anyone who: is a permanent resident, not a US citizen applied for green card for your spouse interviewed in new york city / manhattan? Could you pls share timeline? how long is the wait from i-485 biometrics to interview notice and interview? Thanks so much!!

when did you file i-485 if you don't mind? i'm in nyc too.

Hi - I'm a green card holder and I'm applying for a green card for my wife. Here's my timeline: Sep 2016 - i-130 filed (priority date Sep 2016) Jun 2017 - i-130 approved Oct 2017 - priority date becomes current; i-485 filed Our USCIS field office is New York City; the current i-485 processing...

they mailed the decision to me. Yes you are right usually they ask you to come back in two weeks to pick up the decision. But in my case, I was actually in legal status when I applied for asylum so they thought it's ok to make me wait longer.

You can have multiple immigration applications pending at the same time. One doesn't necessarily disqualify the other. But why would you apply for asylum when you have a family green card pending? you should know that it currently takes at least a year (often times years) to get the asylum...

Hi guys - I'm applying for a green card for my wife; I'm a permanent resident. Her I-130 was approved a few months ago. How long would it take to have I-485 approved, start counting from when the form is submitted?

Agree with above. Somehow this year the date for filing is still stuck in Apr 2016 for F2A as opposed to Nov 2015 the same time last year.

The line for family green card is hardly moving at all. Final action for F2A has been stuck in September 2015 for quite some time. Do we expect any movement for October (new USCIS fiscal year)? will they final switch back to "dates for filing" from "final action"?

so i got the i-130 approval for my wife 2 months ago. the whole thing took 9 months (they advertised 6).

I filed I-130 for my wife in September 2016. I'm a green card holder not a citizen. The application is being processed out of the California center. Their processing time is still stuck on Aug 2016 as of end of February. I believe I-130 usually takes ~5 months to approve and I'm on the 9th...

yeah the first one is usually slow. it took ~6.5 months for me.

when you said "sorta took the cannot work without ins authorization" off of the social security card, what do you mean exactly? Altering/falsifying a federal document is very serious. I would consult a lawyer to see if this counts as a criminal offense, just to be on the cautious side. From...

i have applied for RTD 3 times, the most recent one just a couple weeks ago (obviously still waiting on it). First time applications are usually slow and it took ~6 months for me. My second application was like a breeze - approved and received it in the mail in ~2 months. RTD doesn't strike me...

He did say there will be exceptions but it's unclear how this would be interpreted. The order already went into effect actually as of Friday night, as reported by the New York Times as refugees were detained at airports. I guess there is very little you can do at this point. For any others I'd...

Based on the text of the signed executive order (signed Friday afternoon), the temporary ban of the refugee program applies only to new refugees, not those already approved or those who have a green card. BUT if you are originally from one of the seven countries named in the order (Iraq, Syria...

Hey - the order is already signed and is going to be in full effect by Monday. Immigrants from seven countries including Syria will be banned from entry for at least 30 days. If I were you I would bring your family into the US asap.

I was lucky enough to be interviewed just a month after filing. To this day I have no idea why. It was in the Newark Asylum Office.
