Would USCIS require me to attend a biometrics appointment as a petitioner?

[Aqeel 0]

I submitted form I-130 online and received NOA1 on 03/16/2020. Would USCIS require me to attend a biometrics appointment as a petitioner here in US? If Yes then when should I expect to receive appointment notice from USCIS considering the fact that the field offices just reopened last week.

Only in the rarest of situations is the petitioner asked to do biometrics. 

 

Answer is the same as your previous thread

I filed I-130 on 03/16/2020 electronically and received NOA1 a couple of days later. Can my foreign spouse apply for a student visa so that we can live together while our I-130 is still processing? If yes then how long does it take to get a student visa?

I am planning to move to my foreign spouse's country so that we can live together until her whole immigration process is completed. Can I take a biometrics at a US consulate n that country if USCIS asks me to take that?

USCIS doesn’t ask USC petitioner to do biometrics.

OP.  This is now your third thread around a similar topic

As stated above, you should not have to do Bio-metrics as the petitioner. I would be more concerned about maintaining your ties to the US. When the person you are petitioning goes to interview you are going to have to prove you have income( Job), Address, and a way to support the intending immigrant. If you are living abroad with no job or income you are going to need a lot of assets in order to overcome the public charge rule. and the way things are going I would expect well over a year of living outside the US. Make sure you continue to file taxes etc. or you will have more issues down the line.

Sure but how will she explain her immigrant intent?  A student cannot have immigrant intent.

@payxibka 

So you mean its more likely that USCIS won't issue her a student visa because she permanently wants to migrate to US, right?

Thanks Loren. I know I have to file an Affidavit of Support so I will be working remotely as my employer will allow me to do so.and will keep filing taxes. Do I need to notify USCIS with regards to my move?

Do I need to be physically present in US for any reason except for working because I will be working remotely?

[Loren Y 2,768]

You still should maintain an address, bank account, etc. 

As for working remotely, make sure the country your in allows you to work there on the visa you enter on.

I will be working with the same company where I am working now in US. They will let me work remotely. I think therr should not be any other issue while I am abroad.
