Now, I’m trying to book an appointment (I moved out of pwc and using my latest receipt number) but the fee page already has a receipt number prepopulated against my name.

I’m booking an appt for me and my wife. The receipt number text field is empty for her (we haven’t made the payment yet). Any guidance on this?

US immigration question. Green card interview date was cancelled in March 2020. It’s been a whole year of just waiting for a reschedule date, so the I-485 is transferable (e.g. to another state, another employer). Has anyone transferred their i-485 to another employer?

Please mention if you did the process before or during the pandemic. Thanks so much.
