ICE, prayers and peace

I just want to say, i am sadden about everything happening in the world right now, in previous years, in future times to come as well. We live in such a sad world where no one cares about no one else, so many families are being torn apart and people laugh at this situation, cant you see a baby straight to their face and feel their pain? Or is your heart that empty that you just don't care? We are all human beings, yes people come to the US for better life unfortunately, their country does not offer everything the US does, but there is people who come here to work hard, and contribute to society, people that are kind hearted and loving. Yes it is wrong to enter a country illegally, but many people sadly do not have the funds to become a legal resident or family that can help them, let alone the process can take decades. Please don't let the media tell you other wise and lie to you in your face and make you have a hateful heart when you know deep inside you know it is wrong to feel that way about others, We are all human beings and we want to live a better life for our families. Lets not forget none of this will matter when we depart from this world. We will leave either being happy people or miserable. Lets not hate eachother and spread more love and care for one another. I pray for you all, especially for the people that are going through this.

Fiance detained in Mx on way to K1 interview

My fiance was on her way to the K1 interview when immigration in Mexico detained her. She was legally allowed in Mexico City but apparently not in Juarez. She missed her K1 interview obviously. How do we explain her missing the interview so that she can reschedule. Will they use this detention and being in Mexico not completely legally as justification to deny her K1 VISA?

I-485 delivered but no receipt yet — E-2 expiring tomorrow. Anyone in similar situation?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in a stressful situation and wanted to see if anyone has gone through something similar.

My I-485 package was delivered to USCIS on April 9th (I have delivery confirmation), but I still have not received a receipt notice (I-797C) and no receipt number has been generated yet (confirmed with live agent).

The concern is that my E-2 status is expiring tomorrow (April 24th).

My attorney told me that:

  • After April 24th, I will no longer have lawful status
  • But I may still have lawful presence / period of authorized stay if the I-485 is accepted

However, since I don’t have a receipt yet, I’m really anxious about where I stand right now.

My questions:

  1. Has anyone had their I-485 delivered but waited 2–4+ weeks for receipt?
  2. Did your receipt date go back to the delivery date, or was it the notice date?
  3. Has anyone been in a situation where their nonimmigrant status expired before receiving the receipt?
  4. Did everything turn out okay once the receipt was issued?
  5. Did USCIS ever reject the case after such a delay, or was it just lockbox backlog?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who experienced something similar. This waiting period without a receipt is extremely stressful, especially with my status expiring.

Thank you in advance 🙏

How safe is to travel domestically with a foreign passport if my status (E2) expired in February 2025, while I filed for renewal but still didn’t receive the answer. Am I in any violation right now?

COS B2->F1

Hi everyone!

I applied for a change of status 3 months ago (b2 to f1). I’ve been stressing out lately and scared to be denied. I submitted lots of paperwork, proof of travels during my b2 visa, letters from friends and family, proof of my parents deeds, etc…

2 of my friends tried to get the f1 and got denied so I feel like they’ve been refusing much more people.

Has anyone been in the same situation in 2026 ? Did you get accepted/refused ?

Form i-864 income requirements

Part 6

q 16a to 16c

If I marked 'Yes' to filing taxes for 2023 and 2024 (last 3 years), but my Gross Income was very low for other 2 years apart from this year 2025, should I report that low amount, or should I leave the income fields blank on my application?

What should I go with if 2024 and 2023 income was not sufficient?

Family based AOS.
