    Government financial aid during pandemic

    Cndn posted a topic in Coronavirus Covid-19,

    I’m sure we’ve all heard about the stimulus deal. It’s my understanding that each adult is to receive $1200 and $500 per child. I’m the spouse of a USC with a pending AOS application. So not a green card holder yet until my interview (which is likely even further away now). Would I still be eligible to receive this payment? I filed my taxes for 2018 as married filing jointly with my USC spouse.

    Update Your Timeline if You Experienced a Covid19 Impact to Your Immigration Case

    Captain Ewok posted a topic in Coronavirus Covid-19,

    If you experienced a Covid19 impact to your immigration case please update your timeline.  There is a new field (at the top) to document where the impact hit you.  We would like to track this across the site and when things clear up, work to push USCIS and Consulates to clear the log jam.  Information is power!

    Counties not issuing Marriage Licences/Ceremonies due to COVID-19

    SJ2020 posted a topic in Coronavirus Covid-19,

    I just arrived in the US with a K1 visa and was planning to get our marriage license this week. None of the Southern California/Vegas counties are issuing them until further notice. I'm worried about the 90 day K-1 requirement.

      Hi there,
       
      I saw your post on NVC filers page about your RFE and I would like to ask a question because we received same RFE.
       
      Did you submit I-864A for your joint sponsor's wife?
      Did you add her as household member of the joint sponsor?
       
      We called NVC and was told that issue was that we uploaded joint sponsors W2 at wrong place....
       
      But I have a doubt after seeing your post.
      We didnt add joint sponsors wife as houshold member nor submit her I-864A...
       
      Thank you for your support in advance!
