OMG Guys! Thanks so much for watching and for all the BIRTHDAY LOVE. And a giant thanks to the big boss, Humberto Gray, for tuning in to the premiere for my birthday. It means a lot. (Always nice to get a thumbs up from the boss).
Happy birthday. It's also my wife's birthday today. I just filed an i-130 and i-130A to bring her and our kids over. I got my moved here in February and my green card came 40 days later. Now I am trying to bring my family over. I filed everything online last week. I am from Nigeria
Happy Birthday Courtney
@@aifuwabobosaze3244 Thanks for the birthday wishes, Aifuwa and good luck brining your family to the US. I hope you all are reunited soon. Have you looked into Following-to-Join benefits. If you were married and had children when you got your Green Card, you might be able to bypass the I-130 and go straight to the Green Card.

@@courtneymorgan-greene3620 thanks Courtney. I have already filed the I-130 and i-130A. I initially thought I could do the I-824 as Dr Grey advised earlier but when I called the USCIS in New York, they said I had to go through I-130 process. In the website they also said I wouldn't be eligible to file I-824 because I received my visa through a consular process. There is a lot of confusion on this though. How long do you think the I-130 process will take please? Thank you
Hi I would like to have advise how can I reach you guys

Thank you always providing hope. Your stance to provide good news has been a source of information and inspiration. Thanks a million! What Attorney Courtney Morgan-Greene said about them not looking business is correct. I have checked their website and done a thorough search for their contact information and have not found any.
you are great i contacted them and they approved it next day
Congratulations!
U mean ? What did u say to get approved
I’m eagerly waiting to listen and have some questions asked if possible
Hi! I need some help please. I applied for I-130 for my father. We moved and I lost all his correspondence letters from USCIS. So, I applied again in September 2019. I received the acceptance letter that his case is in the process, but I have not received any follow up other than that. What should I do? Please let me know. I’m very concerned.
Thank you so much!!
It's really late but still Happy Birthday! you really help a lot of people. Thank You!

Thank you, Sibrina! And thanks for watching GraylawTV!
Happy late birthday 🎂 🙏🏽✨💕😍
Blessings to you all who do so much in spreading the knowledge and that means so much. The best form of love is to help those who need. I have a question: my husband and I have our interview but he replied yes to the question that asks if he was military. What do we need to take in regards to this?
Belated Happy birthday. God bless🙏
Thank you for the information and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Coronado Henriquez Thank you, Coronado!
Happy birthday dear Courtney, thank you for the informative video and sharing your professionalism and knowledge! Hope you will have a time of your life today,you deserve it!🍹🎂
My question is: my husband and I have filed for marriage based Green card, case received on June 24th, I received an RFE on July 17th that I have addressed promptly. On August 4th I have attended my biometrics appointment. Earlier I tried to put an expedite request on my employment authorization card because my previous was expiring on August 11th (it was an OPT based card) I am a healthcare worker and I tried to appeal to current pandemic situation as a reason for expedition. But I was denied to expedite. As of today on the "check my status online" tool it states that my I-485 is ready to be scheduled for an interview. So the question is: is that even normal to have an interview coming before the Work Authorization? All online resources state that Work/Travel permit will arrive first and interview will follow..
Thank you for everything you do!
Iryna McNaught Iryna McNaught Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, Iryna! Sometimes with the slow I-765 processing times and card production, the interview AND even the the Green Card can come first. Good luck and thanks for all you do!

Thank you, Slely! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the nice video. Please tell me how much important and beneficial is to hire a lawyer that is from your State or close to your State or that doesn't matter nowadays? Thank you so much!
Thank you for the helpful video. I have a question regarding H-1B application. My company is filing H-1B petition and I want to use Premium Processing because my OPT is ending in 2.5 months. But my employer said it is risky to file with Premium Processing because it has higher denial rate if it is being filed as a first time H-1B. Can you give your advice here how this information is true that I have higher rate of denial with Premium Processing?
Happy birthday,and thank you!
Happy Birthday day pretty woman. That was so good of u mentioning ways of speeding up the process. You and your colleague have a great smile every time I visit your channel. Just have a Q for u. My FIL filed i130 - 10 yrs back. The documents were approved in Yr 2014. Now we have 2 childrens. When do we get them added?? Pls advise.
Happy birthday mam
Thank you, Elizabeth and thanks for watching!
I don't think the I-907 is for all type of petitions, because I looked I am unable to do that for my I-130 for my husband.
I looked as well I don’t see it ..i t looks like this is only for few things not family based
Are you able to speak on Whether or not Nigeria is still under the family Type Visa ban, and/or when those will be allowed again such as a fiance or spousal visa?
And thank you very much
Most welcome and thank you for watching!
Happy birthday 🎊🎉 ...I Came to USA as F1 & I have my pending asylum and I’m married to USC waiting for the interview.
My question is do I need to withdraw my asylum before the marriage based green card interview?
Great question! Both petitions may remain open at once. No need to withdraw. Good luck and thanks for the birthday wishes.
Happy Birthday 🎊🎁🎂🎈
Thank you very much, and thank you for watching!
Just yo make sure then we don’t have the I 907 for the I 129f correct I’ve waiting since last November. And the processing time keeps increasing like crazy from 6-8 months, to 9-12, then 13 and finally 13.5 (for now) this is so disappointing and enraging
Happy belated birthday 🎁
Happy Birthday to you!
Good job doing this ma'am
Thank you so much!
Please do you know if the travel ban on nigeria will affect minor?she was schedule for interview before.They schedule the interview after they ban Nigeria.But the interview was canceled due to covid-19.

Happy Birthday
Frednel Robert Thanks so much for the birthday wishes, Frednel! - Courtney
Does using an Attorney per se speed things up. I have friends who have completed their application after me and they have their green card. Meanwhile, I am waiting for my permission to travel renewal. I don't think there was an error, just long processing times. That's why I wanted to know, do attorneys speed up the process once they get involved?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Thanks, Vipul! Thanks for watching!
Happy birthday!
Hi Courtney, what form is using visa bulletin final action date and date of filing?
As in the chat session, I mentioned that I concurrent filed I-140 and I-485.
My priority date on both of them is 3/26/19. I already did the fingerprints in Dec 2019.
I got my I-140 approved on 4/1/20.
Lately, I checked the visa bulletin for September 2020, the final action date is 4/1/19.
Does that mean my I-485 is in the queued now?
Hi Thack Le, The final action date is the chart you are interested in. If your priority date is before the date listed, you are good to go. Here is a great video that Humberto did a couple of weeks ago with everything you need to know about Priority Dates: th-cam.com/video/ybISfJyhln8/w-d-xo.html
Idc this video has been 3 months but still happy late birthday :,)
What happens to a person who’s visa application is approved and waiting for interview but falls into one of the suspended immigrant categories? Does the ban effect the cases which are documentary approved and waiting for interview.
Catss Vloggerr Hi Catss, If the visa has not been approved, the presidential ban applies. The interview will be delayed at least through December.
Thank you for the informations!
Thank you Cebuana for ALL of your AMAZING support and questions!
@Courtney Hey, I filled for my Citizenship its been more than 3 years. I did my interview, I passed they told me they will get back to me. ... (when I won a greencard and I never included my son, but when I filled for Citizenship, I added my son ) they then last year January asked for my son's birthday certificate and I sent them. In July,I received a letter to appear in court for deportation proceedings that I lied to the consulate... so they have been postponing my court date... I didn't manage to travel last year, I was advised not to cross any border... what are the chances of me getting sworn in? I already petitioned for my son too already. Will this case be waved or what are the expected outcomes? Can I travel to Africa? If so, what do I need to avoid being detained at the port of entry?
First of all thanks. And happy birthday. I have a question about i received a RFE which i respond to it . Then I received a biometric appointment scheduled after just one week after my response. Will that mean they accepted my respond.
Happy birthday 🎉🎊🎈
I have a question about K1 visa Affidavit of Support, and Adjustment of Status Affidavit of Support. Why two Affidavit of Support. And minimum income for 3 households
I am a U.S citizen and have filed the i130 for my wife on November 14, 2019. Can i leave the country and go visit her while it’s still pending?
Happy birth day🌹
Thank you for the birthday wishes, Noor!
Hi my name is johnny i m from lebanon, do u have any idea when the embassy will open and starts fixing appointment for interviews? and i wish u a happy birthday
Hlo mam,my name is fulvir singh,so i was filed marriage based green card,since feb7, my satatus shows that case is ready to be sechduled an interview.can u tell me how long more.
Feb 7, 2020 you applied for I485?
No i applied on nov and uscis recieved my application on dec 2,and i was did biometrics on31dec2019.
How much do u charge to file citizenship papers
Did you filed based on your marriage to a US Citizen? If so individual USCIS offices and consulates will take a little time to catch up with interviews. Hopefully, you will hear something soon. Good luck!
I initiated for DNA testing for my kids after i received RFE and NOID,but my problem is overseas Embassy is closed for giving schedule for DNA testing,what should i do for this?
Hi, Happy birthday to you, I just want to know if gold coins can be use as an asset for i864?
Happy birthday and God bless. How bout waiting for noa2 for more than 8months and no rfe and it says its for pending adjucation. What will i do with this. Thanks
What's the form number for a political asylum interview schedule? I did my finger prints and waiting for an interview
What about reaching out to congressman/woman or senator?
SunSHINEDiva1116 A letter of support from a member of Congress never hurts your file, but it doesn’t guarantee anything.
Hi
And does i907 applies for form i130 petition?
Coz my bfriend asking me to verify .how much is the cost n all the documents needs to process my visa .from here in phillipines to Verginia .thankz n hoping that you can gave the details. God bless
Elizabeth Tolosa Hi Elizabeth! The fees are listed on the consular website.
Happy belated birthday Courtney!!! With the suspension of the issuance of visas that can lead to permanent residency for nationals of Nigeria. Does it affect filling I130 for my Mum since I'm a US Citizen? Thanks!
Chuk O You May still file an I-130 for your Mom. Once that is approved, she will likely undergo normal consular processing and should file all the steps. At that point they can issue a waiver allowing her the Green Card or decide she has to wait until the ban is lifted. If it is that she must wait, when the ban is lifted the I-130 is already approved and she can resume the process where she left off.
@@GrayLawTV Thanks a lot!
I have a friend who filed for her mom last year oct when she was a permanent resident but she became a citizen this year and she got approved about two months ago
Hbd great video. Is there any premium processing for i129f?
Hi Courtney, my lawyer says, White houses suspended all perm cases till end of year. Is that true ?
I am curious as to what happened to the national benefits center in the uscis wait times list. I don't see it anywhere
Happy birthday. I applied my N-400 and did the fingerprint lase Dec 31st and am still waiting for the interview, shall I give them a call? Live in San Diego, CA. Thanks
Zaid Alnaib Thanks Zaid! Processing times in San Diego for an N-400 are approximately 10.5-15.5 months. If you get beyond this window of time, very politely reach out to USCIS to make a Service Request.
@@GrayLawTV does the i-907 work with N400? and N600? Thank you
So receiving request of evidence, within my I-129f, they are going to refuse my petition? I started the application November 22nd 2019. And May I received the request of evidence and it is due August 30th; that I already sent back with all of the documents they requested. And on the website it states that they are reviewing our application. Is that they're whole agenda is to get information just to deny our application?
Hello , first time watching your video, and i fully understand. I have a question, pls help me out here, it's urgent. My husband priority date is November 2011 and falls under I-130. Can you pls give me an average as to how long more he got. Somebody told me it might be 2 years. But I need a professional to tell me. Thank you very much, for your early reply.
I am a lawful permanent resident of United States. I had applied for and issued a Re-entry permit in 2018 valid till September 10, 2020. However, I have not stayed outside US for more than 180 days till date. I returned to Nepal on 16th March 2020 after spending around 11 months in United States with a return flight scheduled on 5th May 2020. Since there was lockdown in Nepal and no international flights were available, I couldn't return to United States on 5th May 2020. On surfing the website, I found about the Returning Resident Visa. My queries what should we do mam.
Hello Ma'am, I'm married to an US citizen and filed for AOS (i-130 & i-485) in Sept 2018. Also, our interview was completed in June 2019. Since then it says Interview completed and case must be reviewed. During the interview, we were told that we will be approved for a temporary green card and the IO went on to explain how to remove the conditions. I never called and followed up my case with USCIS. Do you know why USCIS is taking so long?? Will we be called for a second interview or home visit??? Please let me know Thank you
I couldn’t find any processing time for a I-589 . Do you know what I can do about that?
Unfortunately, USCIS does not list I-589 processing times. They endeavor to process applications in 180 days but have fallen behind. I hope you hear something soon. Always feel free to contact USCIS to check on the status of your case.
Courtney Morgan-Greene
I see! I hope so too
I can never get in touch with them.
Is there any specific phone number that I can use to reach out to them? If yes do you mind letting me know ?
I apply for my spouse around 10 month but i still don’t get approval letter. Is that any way i can do premium and make my spouse paper done quickly?
Nusrat Tasnuva Hello Nusrat, That is a great question. Unfortunately, USCIS does not offer Premium Processing for I-130 applications yet.
GrayLaw TV so be a Citizen how long they need to be done the immigration paper?
I helped my mom applied for her spouse. She just Receive the approval of the i-130 after two years. Just give it time. I know if You are a US citizen ,the process is faster
Can an I-130 process speed up due to mom is elderly and need assistance?. Elderly mom file for son over 21.
Will these tips help w/an EAD through VAWA???? I filed to renew my EAD in February & STILL haven't received it. USCIS customer svc told me as it's a VAWA case I have to write VT which I did 3 wks go......NOTHING. This is so frustrating!
Hi. Did they respond to you? And what was your timeline?
@@louisek256 ~ They never did. This entire situation has been a nightmare. I have an atty who doesn’t respond to case status questions. I’m beginning to think she’s really sabotaging my case. I had to call the bar on her to respond (reaching out to her since September 2020). She filed my Vawa case in September 2019. When she finally got back to me in February (ONLY bcoz the bar called her) she tells me she got my Prima Facie a few weeks ago. Like REALLY? Why didn’t you give it to me? She emails it to me & it’s dated Oct 2020. So she had it for 5 months before giving it to me! It expires today! I’m so angry. I told her to go ahead & re-file the EAD application as she believes it got lost in the system somewhere. Why does she need me as a client to tell her to do that? It’s been an ENTIRE year since filing that document, what’s she waiting for? I want to get on w/my life. My mother needs a leg operation so she’s still continuing to work to support the both of us, I NEED THAT EAD! Sorry to rant but every time I think about this I get so upset.
Happy birthday 🎂
Hi! I am appling for i-485. And i sent them old medical check up record. But its more than 1 year ago. Should i go hospital to get new check up recode and ship it to them soon? Maybe that way they might will wave my interview?
If the medical exam was submitted after 10/15/2018 and signed by a doctor within 60 days of submitting your application, it is good for two years. Here are the details. www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/uscis-policy-manual-update
@Courtney Morgan-Greene Thank you for your reply:)) actually Doctor signed 2017...Do you think if i send new exam now, they might wave my interview? What do you recommend:(? Thank you
Hi... Wish you a very Happy Birthday 🎂
I just had a question... my sponsors applied for my H1B petition on May 15th.... When can I expect a reply from USCIS...?
Note : My company will not apply for premium
Thanks you! Check out the processing times on the USCIS website. Link below video. -Courtney
@@GrayLawTV Hi... Thanks for letting me know.. Actually I just got the approval today🙌🏼

Did you go with Premium Processing or regular?

Hello. Somehow TH-cam showed me your videos and i star watching it. I want to aske you one question abou b2 visa, doas it requires to have a job? I have no job because im from wealthy family and there supporting me.
Thank you for watching and your comment. You need to show ties to your home country. This video explains everything in detail. Good luck with your visa interview and happy travels! th-cam.com/video/ae4d4l_a0fA/w-d-xo.html
So do you think its a good time no now to apply for a b2 Visa due to the Corona virus
I dont do now. I just wanted to know, i simply dont need job for now. I have 3 houses, i basically land lord. Plus family has big construction company, i kuat want to go in USA, i have been in EU and now inwant to try different continent. For future of course
What's is your family's is not yours so you can't use that as a tie you need to prove to them you will come bck to your home country but not having a job is sticky you can use the houses you rent as your job your monthly pay check from them can be your income
Im not paying taxes but every month on my bank account is getting 2000$ at least. So they need my taxes or it's enough
What do you recommend for those who’s interview has been canceled since March and they are just hanging out their with no information
I'm in the same boat
The interview should be rescheduled automatically. If they start scheduling interviews and you do not here anything in a reasonable amount of time, I would reach out to them and give them a gentle reminder.
Hi!
I am from the Philippines.when my fiance filed a petition under K1 visa my son was included. But when i get here in the US my son did not come with me.He’s over age now.. I filed a petition for him after i got my lpr. Is there any way that can speed my petition under f2b?

Happy birthday,
How it is possible to speed up interview for pending asylum cases that no progress from 2014 & 2015
I was just about to ask the same question
Hi madam
I have a question about submitting my civil documents for I-130. I have been living here in Oman for 7 years on work visa, but I was born in India and left in 2013. currently I have Oman police certificate but it is also asking for India police certificate. Is it mandatory or is it okay if I only have Oman police certificate?
what does it means when USCIS clocking stopped?
It is almost your birthday again, so happy birthday in advance. Ms. How can I contact you?
Hi did you know how long it will take for my i485 to get a final decision after rfe. And can I receive my EAD card without the i485 approval please?
The EAD cards are often processed and issued before the I-485. After an RFE, we usually see responses within 60-90 days.
Courtney Morgan-Greene thank you so much. And happy birthday to you wish you many more in return with good health and happiness 🙏🏿
Courtney Morgan-Greene it has been 107 days after USCIS has received my RFE response and nothing happen... i raised SR(s), on July 24 they responded that i have to wait next 30-60days... now it has been almost 30 days after they responded my SR, still quiet... i just got frustrated because my RFE is for medical and i sent one with my application on November 2019 already... they might have lost my first Medical? I gave the second one as they asked but they are still sooooooo slow.
Happy belated Birthday anyway!🍰
Hi Courtney, i have approved IR2 for my daughter do i need to submit affidavit of support for my 2year old daughter in NVC ? Thank you
