Hello everyone,
I came to the US on F1 Visa, and after graduation I got married to a USC. He filed my I-130 mid Sept 2017, and the application got approved on March 2018.
We made a copy of the approval notice and sent together with other relevant document to apply for Adjustment of status and EAD in April, 2018. We filed them separately though and I had to do two separate biometrics in June for both cases. I filed everything at NBC Chicago.
Prior to this, I was working using post completion OPT work authorization which expired May 2018 since then I have been at home counting the days. I cannot even volunteer to work anywhere.
I have not been able to track the cases using any USCIS tracker. Even when I was invited for biometrics, the status of the tracker did not change at all.
I realize I was wrong to file this late. I should have filed everything back in September but I was ignorant, and thought I needed an approved I-130 before I can file for adjustment of status and EAD.
My questions are:
Is there anything I can do to speed up the process considering I lost my job?
Does having an already approved I-130 speed up the processing time?
Does anyone have experience with their application status not changing using the tracker?
