    We just came back from my interview today in Chicago and we followed all the recommendations here. I got approved right there! In our case the officer just went ahead with the questionaire and we updated some info like address, added newer tax returns and so. After that he said all looks good and that I'm approved. Thank you so much Kseniya for all the help throughout the process. It was incredibly helpful and valuable. We are super grateful.

    Hi Kseniya! First off thank you so much for all of your videos they are truly a lifesaver. I have such a different situation that I am wondering about with my husband and I and I keep seeing conflicting information. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Vietnam and had to return to the US to seek treatment. My husband then followed me here but only on a B2 visa, because that was the fastest way we could get him here. I've heard conflicting information about this, as I've heard it's really hard to get this type of visa approved for Adjustment of Status. Knowing full well our circumstances, the uscis did approve him coming here but I'm wondering if you might know of anything about this particular circumstance. Cheers and thank you!
