My Wife’s H4 extension was filed early October, haven’t received appointment for biometrics yet.. anyone who’s experiencing the same ?

I filed mine in April, receipt was April 22. Support center for biometrics was in North Miami

I have not even received receipt notice for Oct 27 AoS filing yet.

Filled for I485 early June. Biometrics scheduled in NYC for next week.

A past coworker reached out to me about catching up and hearing how things are at my new job. I’ve been swamped and don’t really have the mental bandwidth.

Or should I just suck it up and do it anyways?

Hypothetical: If you are new to a job and working part time on a startup and your team was accepted into Y Combinator, would you quit your job so you could go full time for the three months? You have other full time founders so your company would still attend without you, but presumably you would miss out on most of the experience and networking opportunities.

Hey all - couple question for anyone working at PwC who has been successful in filing their green card under the EB1-C category. How long did you have to wait to get the process started and did you need to get any approvals? I am currently on an L-1A visa and was told by the immigration team that they wouldn’t start the process until I have been with the US firm for 12 months and typically they would start the process 3.5 years prior to the max visa date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to know what you’ve went through ie, if there are other requirement needed when you cancel and then use the MRV fee.
