Adjustment of Status F-1 Student Visa (OPT) to Immediate Relative of U.S. Citizen AOS I-485
Hello, community I have a few questions that will probably be interesting ones but please I need your help, guidance, knowledge, and support. Thanks, beforehand!
I came to the U.S. with an F-1 student visa in 2014, that visa had an expiration day of MAY-2019 and on May-2018 I graduated with a degree in STEM (civil engineering).
After graduation, I decided to apply for opt. In the process of Opt, I decided to withdraw my application from USCIS and pursue a master's degree in the same area of studies that I pursued bachelor's at the same college.
In August of 2018, I started a master's program and I obtained my master's degree at the end of the last year 2019, I did not renew my visa but I stay here with a valid i-20 &i-94.
I applied for a second time Opt for this in 2020 and in February the AED card was in my hands and later on, I applied and applied for jobs but I did not find a job in the 90 days’ time frame.
However, in the mid-time that the AED was active and I was allowed to work and with my girlfriend of years who is a U.S. citizen we made the decision that we were ready to get married and that is what we have done.
At that time when we submitted all the documentation to apply for adjustment of status, the time left to find a job was 3 days before the run of days off on opt (we got married on April 17-2020).
Once we submit all the completed AOS package i-130, I-131,i-765, i485, and more documents like affidavit, i-864, and others. I received the letter form i-797c for those 4 cases (docs) saying that it was received and that it has a priority date which is May 4-2020.
My EAD card starting date was February -07-2020. Did I break any law at all during 2014 until now for overstaying or something like that? I have never been arrested or gotten a random or case open against me.
To clarify, I pursued a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a master’s in civil engineering, did I stay here longer without Documentation or legal status?
Is USCIS still processing AOS for an immediate relative of U.S. citizens in states DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia)?
When will I get my fingerprint appointment?
My mom has cancer and she is in advanced care but due that USCIS has not received my fingerprints and I cannot apply for humanitarian advance parole. Also, when I asked USCIS if they could recall my files from the government because I worked for them for a few months as a contractor and I obtained my public truth clearance to make publications as well as research in
facilities they were not capable of gathering my files from DOS nor FBI. So, I am stuck right now.
Do you know how long it would take to get a fingerprint?
appointment or when they are going to reopen for cases like mine?
The i-765 and all other files have a received date of May 4 - 2020 and the same priority date, but I have not gotten the follow up for the fingerprints.
Would my adjustment of status be affected by any new policy or order from the dear president?
How long would it take for me to get a conditional green card of two years ( I am from Bolivia), is the new AED card in process?
Is the biometric center is going to be open soon when any hints?
In my case and cases being processed due, I belong to the a preferred group of an immediate relative of US citizens, while we are at a stage 2, 3 of covid19, and people are getting or will be getting furloughs at USCIS.
Or did my files get in a freeze, due to the president proclamation and also because all of the files are still at national benefits center (MSB) and they have not adjudicated in a local office or will USCIS HQ take care of my case there, or MSB is not processing my case until they lift
the freeze and they will resume this upcoming January 1 of 2021 when the freeze and
the proclamation is over if he does not extend it or lift it?
I am so sorry for so many questions!
