Our Story

  1. We finally got an interview, and I'll flying over to her in two weeks to be with her for her interview. Now we find out she needed to take a Sputum test and wait sic to right weeks. Can we have her take a Rapid Sputum test instead? Vietnam
  2. Hi, Case- I-R1/CR-1 Spousal Visa For those who have experienced or who have knowledge about the CFO/GFP certificate with sticker. Kindly share me your knowledge. Thank you in advance. I'm about to leave the Philippines to USA for the first time in December. Got my visa and stuff. But one thing came up. I don't know how, I just ended up clicking random website from my phone. You know -- was just searching.. "everything I need to do or know before moving to US from the PH for the first" time something like that. Then I saw the CFO/GFP certificate with sticker. If it wasn't because of me searching random things before I leave. I might have booked the ticket to US without knowing I need this certificate. I'm just wondering. If that happens and I'm at the airport already ready to fly. Would they stop me because I don't have that CFO/GFP certificate? Or is there exceptions? Would they still allow me to leave my country or not? Would my ticket be wasted?
  3. My favorite VJ contributing member is @Mike E. Who is yours ?
  4. Hi, Does anybody here know if you can exit Philippines with expired ACR I card? Anybody here tried leaving the Philippines with expired ACR I card? What happened ? Or what's the deal in the airport if they find out you have expired ACR? Are they gonna let you leave or not?
  5. Hello everyone. I’m new here, and am about to start the K1 visa process. Do you have any recommendations for a good visa service? Thanks in advance.
  6. hi guys so recieved my k1 visa 6 years ago i went to the US but the marriage ddnt happen i left the US even before 90 days were expired love has now come around again for the second time.i am now in a relationship with someone new 6 years later and we want to apply for the k1 again would i get denied if we had to go through this route again ????needing help please because its making me nervous knowing i had a k1 before im not sure if it will be ok.
  7. Hi All, My fiancee and I are in the process of finishing up the K1 process, with the hope that she will be able to come to the States this coming year. I have a steady (decently-paying) job, but a bit in the way of credit card debt. My fiancee is very smart, but hasn't yet finished college, and I was hoping that she might be able to attend a local university after getting her permanent residency, with the assumption that she might get it in 8-14 months. Now, however, I'm seeing that it could take her anywhere from 12-20.5mos to get her AOS, and I'm just feeling extraordinarily daunted by everything that lies ahead, particularly given that from what I've read, a person waiting on their AOS can apply to get a work authorization, but there is no such similar authorization for public college loans. I kind of feel like my financial runway just got significantly more complicated. Does anyone have any experience with this, or any strategies to get student loans while waiting on the AOS? My plan was to have her continue with her credits at a community college before finishing up at a 4 year. Thanks.
  8. Hi! Where do I get the W2/1099 from? I also thought just submitting the tax transcript would suffice but now they are asking for W2/1099. Any help would be appreciated
  9. Hello how are you? I would like you to help me. I am very confused about something and I need to clarify doubts... I recently applied to form I-765 application for employment authorization, a few weeks ago I received a letter from the uscis rejecting my payment and saying this: "Recently, you submitted and application for immigration service. that form was submitted with an extra remittance that its not required to process your application" they returned the payment to me too. then a week later I get another letter about the I-765 format, I will attach a photo of what it says since it is a lot of text for me to write. 🙄 So if I am eligible for the extension (from what I understand) how would I go about getting that extension? Do I have to fill out some form or something? Or do I just take that letter to an employer and can I work? I don't know how it really works. my EAD expires on 07/24.
  10. Hi folks! So, after a long 4 years of back and forth, my girlfriend has settled on not wanting to come to Canada as she is not willing to leave her family. Thus, it is now up to me to find my way there! A little about me: I am a 30 year old blue collar worker with little education to speak for (2 year college diploma) so that won’t be helping me in my quest to become an American. This basically leaves my gf having to likely sponsor me as either her fiancé or husband. Having done a little bit of reading I have found that my little mistake from 10 years ago might come back to haunt me. I was charged with the crime of Theft Under $5000 in the province of Ontario when I was 20/21 years old. I was offered a deferral and my case was ‘sealed.’ All is fine and dandy up here in Canada, but after doing some homework I’ve come to learn that the United States and the USCIS do not recognize ‘sealed’ records and that I might as well have served time for my crime in their eyes. It is listed as having ‘up to 2 years in jail’ up here in Canada. I guess the question I’m asking here is: What are my chances of being united with my girlfriend once and for all, in the United States? Is a K-1 or CR1 my best available route? Would I qualify so long as all other requirements are met? Is there anything I can do up here in Canada BEFORE she applies to sponsor me to help my case? I never had my fingerprints/mug shot destroyed or anything like that, I didn’t see the point considering my case is ‘sealed.’ Or am I simply out of luck? Please help. Thank you. -A very sorry, STUPID, Canadian.
  11. I see websites (Boundless) say that the U.S. citizen sponsor must 100% meet the income requirements for a K-1 visa as a minimum, while it's 125% for the Form I-864 AOS. I am confused though because another website (VisaNation) says it should be 125%, and that the 100% only applies to active duty members of the Armed Forces. If ever the 125% does need to be met by a k1 visa sponsor, can the beneficiary combine her income (I work as a freelancer, and I earn around $1.8k a month) to her sponsor's? My sponsor at the moment can only meet around 105% of the HHS Poverty Guideline.
  12. Came to the USA at age 14 in 1998, and have been here since then. I came with an uncle not really knowing where we were going since parents and grandparents could not take care of me. I got married with a US citizen in 2009 and have been married since then. I need guidance in what to do to make the process easier since learning that I might have to leave the country is freaking me out. I have four children who I am a stay at home father to and a kid with disabilities which requires my attention. I need to learn what past laws can protect me since I came here at a young age without having truly a choice. Please help, I need to help my wife in work and such since everything is expensive. Thank you, have a great day. Came from Mexico
  13. Please recommend an experienced immigration lawyer to handle my case in front of judge. I’ve had a green card (LPR) for many years and was out of the US for 5 months this time (and also out of the US for 7 months just before that, not great, I know). At the land border to enter the US, they sent me to secondary inspection: they wanted to take my green card (10 year LPR car) which I refused. I was blocked there for 5 hours. They then gave me a “Notice to Appear” (NTA) in front of an immigration judge in 1 month where I can defend myself. Can someone please recommend an experienced immigration lawyer to handle the case? (ideally not too far from the immigration court which is Hartford, Connecticut, but I guess lawyers from other neighboring states could represent me there too…) It was not a pleasant experience. Any help in getting an experienced lawyer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance,
  14. When filling out form to recive deposit slip and make interview Appointment at the amman jorden consolate, my fiancée encountered an error where he was asked for the receipt from his payment for the visa prior to receiving the deposit slip on the payment page. You must recive slip to make payment and only then do you recive this number. The website asked for his iv case number, he tried to put in our original receipt number and the new case number from the nvc (per our lawyers advice) with the following response "no valid record could be found for the entered receipt number. Please validate that your receipt number is correct and that you have paid the correct amount for which you are applying for." From what we understand it's asking for the receipt number you get after you pay. We filled out form countless times and never got the page to recive the deposit slip to make the payment so we could recive the iv case number. It always goes straight to the iv case number skipping the payment page. We have been attempting to contact the Jordan embassy with no luck. Does anyone have any advice? We emailed this email Multuple times: jorden-support@ustraveldocs.com with no luck We followed all the directions on this website: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/jo/jo-niv-paymentinfo.asp Our issue is not being addressed. We have already waited 2.5 years please help with any advice! Thank you
  15. We have been dating for 7 years but haven't been able to meet yet due to financial issues and the pandemic. We're getting close to having enough to finally be able to meet in my home country and we want to get engaged during his visit here. Our plan was originally the k1/fiancé visa but i've been advised against it on reddit due to the long wait periods to get a work permit and ability to travel etc. But the problem about the CR1 is that we won't have any joint accounts/shared mortgage etc what is considered strong evidence of a bona fide marriage. We thought we could get married/elope in my home country, then my spouse would return home and file for me and give them the evidence we have (skype logs,messages,package and gift receipts, pictures) since we will likely have to live separately until i can move to live together in the US therefore can't share an account/car/etc like i mentioned above, but i'm worried it wouldn't be solid enough for the marriage visa. TLDR: we will be meeting in person for the first time and getting engaged but we don't know which visa would work for us.
  16. Hello! We just received a message from NVC ''PLEASE SUBMIT EVERY 2022 W-2/1099 FORM'' but everything has been accepted ? it can be a glitch?

  20. Hello, I am working on filling out the I-134 affidavit of support for my fiance. I needed a co-sponsor so I am trying to collect everything I need for evidence. So far, I have one pay stub, 2021 tax return, and W2 form for 2021. Do I need anything else? The cosponsor's income is enough and I do not need to add assets. I read online somewhere that a letter from the bank is required to include information of how much was deposited within a year and what his current balance is, but he tried getting that and the Bank was not able to provide it, which is why we have monthly summaries of his deposits. I also read we need a letter from his employer, but the thing is he works in a corporate and has no contact with his employers or managers as they are always out of state. Do you guys thing what I have so far is sufficient?
  21. I am a UK citizen and my partner is a US citizen, we sent in our I-29f form on February 2022. After a long wait we finally got a response and it’s the image attached below. I’m confused on what I’m meant to do, where to send it or when to send it. is there a time limit on how long we have to send in these documents? is this to send now or for the interview? we received this as our first update since we sent the I29f. Any help would be appreciated just want to do everything correct. thanks.
  22. I used the services of a tax preparer (H&R Block) to file my taxes for 2021, and after we completed my federal tax return the advisor informed me that I didn't need to file state taxes because I was under the reporting threshold (New Jersey). For the sake of being thorough before filing my N400 (regarding part 12 question 7: "Have you EVER not filed a Federal, state or local tax return since you became a lawful permanent resident?") I decided to check on state tax filing requirements just to be certain that I'm in good standing -- and found out that according to the NJ Division of Taxation website that my income for 2021 was over the reporting threshold. It seems this means that I should have filed a State Tax return for 2021, and I'm assuming the best course of action is to make sure my State Taxes get filed before proceeding with my N400. I'm going to get in touch with the preparer/office today to find out how to amend this ASAP before filing my N400 -- but I'm really stressing out about how this could affect my application even if I manage to get it filed late. Will I be in trouble with USCIS/immigration for not filing State Taxes on time even though I was told that I didn't have to/shouldn't by a tax advisor? Also once I do get this situation resolved and/or file my state taxes, does that then mean I can select "No" as my response to N400 part 12 question 7 because I will have filed all possible tax returns - even if one is late? Thank you so much, I'm beside myself with concern right now!
  23. My husband (us citizen) and i (not us citizen) got married on July after a year of dating and started getting the stuff needed for my adjustment of status to get a residence and be "legally" on the U.S. i have a tourist visa, but we already got rejected twice! And we don't understand what are we sending wrong in our package because the correction instructions they send on the 2nd rejection notice are super vague, we can't understand what we are doing wrong and we haven't been able to make an appointment directly in the USCIS, so much stress!!!
  24. I have a question my friend is a United States Citizen, she filed for her husband and kids. They husband got approved and was sent to the nvc, but the kids got approved but need an i-824 to be sent to the NVC. The person who helped prepare their paper i-130 made a mistake. I would like to know if there is a way to speed the kids i130/1824.
