Ahh haa..... Thanks.
How long typically it takes to shift from each status from New Cars Is Being Produced?
 
@Sm1smom I think, I have a very unique situation. My wife entered US on H4 visa yesterday ( Sept 1st ) as dependent of H1 ( mine current status ). I have filed my I-485 and my interview is scheduled on September 7th. Hopefully, my GC will be approved. When I get my GC, my wife's visa status will be automatically becomes invalid because my H1 will be invalid when I receive my GC. Can I file marriage based I-130 and I-485 parallely for my wife so that she doesn't have to leave US and attend her interview in her home country?

yes you can do that, but why didn’t you have your wife listed as a derivative on the DV application which would have been oh so much easier? Your wife may have to wait another two years or so to get a green card now depending on your FO (some are even longer). Be sure to file for AP/EAD with the i485 for her.

Your wife immediately falls out of status the minute you are approved. So she effectively has no status to adjust from. You cannot file a parallel I130/I-485 for your wife while your AOS application is pending.

What am I missing here? How is OP able to file a parallel I-130/I485? OPs wife is a derivative, they effectively loose that status upon OP’s AOS approval which makes them (the spouse) ineligible to file AOS at that point.

I was thinking he files as soon as he becomes an LPR, but you’re right - there’s no bridge at that stage where she has a valid status to file from.

sorry @bhanu_sigdel , please ignore my previous answer.

@Sm1smom is there any way to add her as a DV derivative at this stage, do you know? Too late?
 
Hello everyone
On the interview we got RFE and we did submit them next day, same day after two hour we got a call from IO very nice and aware of FY requests another documents for my spouse on 9-1 we submitted them in person.today only derivative status updates to REF was received and not main select. Is it normal!

I think they've probably left it too late to add the spouse as a DV derivative. But stranger things have been known to happen, they can give it a shot should they wish and are willing to make the investment.
 
So I got an answer from my congressman. Seems like another dead end.
USCIS told him the same thing they told me on the phone/EMMA, that I will be rescheduled once the offices open and that currently they’re closed until further notice.
The deadline part keeps not being acknowledged or taken into account, by the response he was given.

Hi Mates,

Just to let you know that we evacuated yesterday from New Orleans to Houston because of IDA. Without power it wasn't possible to stay longer.
Today I went with my family to do an early walk in at the Uscis of Houston? They let me enter and we did it. :D

New Orleans Uscis just got the power back in their street today, you can see it on this map with the address 1250 POYDRAS ST:

https://www.etrviewoutage.com/map?s...95.2038170319.1630620521-693321315.1630620521

We just have to wait and see just until the people who work there can get back in. I think if they don't get it back they will waive the interview for DV21M and me.

That's why I hurried to do the early walk in today.

Take care all,
