Yes my wife’s annual income more than qualifies. We used her tax returns for 2022,2022,2023. This is because she filed the I-130 in 2023. And the income on her tax returns was more than the minimum required

Your entry is always at the discretion of CBP. Nobody here can tell you whether you will or will not be admitted. You seem to have some red flags - lack of employment evidence, recent extended travel and a US fiance. One upon a time, a while back, I presented at the border for an 80 day ESTA trip with evidence of funds and a letter from my employer and other ties to home (mortgage, car) and a return ticket. The officer told me she was *this* close to not letting me in, and wasn’t remotely interested in looking at any of the evidence I had. So I was let in, but it was a close call. It really is just down to their own tolerance and feelings in the moment. Your question makes it clear you are aware of the risks anyway, so that’s a good start. I’m sure you’ll make the best decision for yourself. Good luck!

That is a common note issued by NVC. The consulate officer always makes the decision regarding public charge. If you are certain the petitioner's current annual income qualifies, then just let it ride. If in doubt, find a well-qualified joint sponsor. Either way, the consulate officer will decide.

Whats with the questions?

Yep, you do, that does exactly the same thing as the plastic card so you’re all good. 👍🏻

Which country do you live in then?

@appleblossom thanks, appreciate the first-hand experience. Hopefully it turns up within a few weeks, but yeah, I know it's not a big deal, we still have the visa with a stamp to prove status for up to a year

India. But i stay overseas

Which country are you from?

I received this message: the income reported as stated on form i 864 is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance but then I also got another message that I have been documentarily qualified. My spouse is the one filing for me and she makes more than the 125% HHS. should I be worried about this coming up in the interview?

Nope. I never applied for a f visa. I have b2 visa renewal to be done.

Are you saying you had a F visa refused? Which country are you from?

It’s completely separate. 3 of us got our GC’s within a few weeks, my daughters never turned up. Note that they’re quoting 120 days to people at the mo (so yours is super quick!) so don’t panic if she doesn’t get it in 90 days.

Hello, So I have few questions and I would like to hear from people who been visiting their partners in USA for longer times. So this year I visited for one month from Europe. I travelled with my fiance, and at the border they only asked how long I am staying (about 30 days) and how long we've know each other. Next time I would like to stay longer, about 70-80 days , under Esta limit (90 days). But i'm worried, if I am unemployed at that time, how risky it is and do I have big chance to get denied? Of corse I have no intentions to work in USA, just to spend time with my fiance. Also, what I understand if staying longer, you need to have show funds you can support youself, is this true? Is there a rule how much money I should have, considering i am staying at my fiances place? like would 30-50 usd a day be enough? Thank all for your answers!

Not sure if this is an appropriate forum/topic, so if not, feel free to delete My wife and I entered the US for the first time several weeks ago with our EB1A visas (E11 + E14) (at the same time, and we paid fees before entering, also together as a same transaction). My case status changed to "Card is being produced" early this week, and now, it's already been produced and shipped, all in an extraordinary short timeframe (the "being produced" update appeared just shy of 3 weeks after entry) Her case, however, is still at the "Fee Payment Received" stage. I am wondering if her card will also be produced soon since it's the part of the same original case, or it's just all random and can take full 90 days. What is your experience? Looking for the experience of people who entered as a family on immigrant visas

Whatever the outcome, CBP violated their own policies and the law by not endorsing the visa. I am unfollowing the thread. Good luck.

For the original, yes, but since the N600 is an online form, it would be a scanned copy. Good Luck!

Update. Noa1 dec 6. Noa2 just got approved yesterday! Waiting for it to come in the mail 🥹🥹🥹

Yes, but since the required documents are not available, you might end up being denied and have to file again. They will likely send an RFE. If they do, and you already have the required documents from the Gong Zheng Chu, they will proceed. Otherwise, your petition will be denied, and you'll need to start over.

It would be such justice -- real, and poetic -- if Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit got what was coming to her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't Overlook Hillary Clinton [...] The media's focus these days is on President Trump's possible cameo in the so-called "Epstein files" and Obama's role in advancing the Russia collusion hoax. These stories crossed when DNI Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe released compelling evidence that six weeks before his term concluded, Obama pressed the intelligence community to ignore its previous assessments and instead rely on the sham Steele dossier and an ambiguous and unverifiable sentence fragment to smear Trump and undermine his presidency before it began. But let's not forget the Clinton campaign's role in this kabuki dance. [...] https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/08/01/dont_overlook_hillary_clinton_153122.html

What a great and valuable report -- and the efficiency of your process can give hope to others. We need more threads like this.

It might mean "send everything to the consulate for the next steps."

Very true. Any estate documents -- wills, medical & statutory powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, whatever -- make superlative evidence for ROC, and they're even more valuable to have in "life." See if your state has templates on file; if not, it's well worth finding a lawyer to draft them for you.

De nada, SM ma'am. The default answers to everything are "Perry Ellis" and "The Casino Indians," si SM ma'am.

There's nothing quite as satisfying as updating the VJ timeline for the last time, right?
