Hi all

I am in the middle of completing my ds260 but i am stuck at the question asking if I have the records of vaccinations as stated by US law. When i checked their site it states many vaccines around 15 vaccines from which i only have covid vaccine record. So should i put No ? And what should i put in the explanation for No?

Hello Good people,

I am currently processing my IVP from Canada, Montreal and my DQ was May 30, 2023. I am planning to move to the US on an H1B visa for a faculty position. I need some information regarding medical and PCC

1. If I will get IL near future then I need to do medical, my query is, can I do medical from the US or I need to do it from Canada only?

2. How long does the police clearance remain valid? is it 2 years or 1 year? if it is expired then should we bring a new PCC on the day of the interview?

Thank you so much

My wife came to the US with the K-Visa in December of 2021. We married in 2022 within the 90-day time period but we waited a bit too long to start the filing process for the next step (This is mostly due to us trying to collect the necessary documents, some of which we had to get from the country of origin). In 2023 we submitted our first form of I-485 along with what we thought were all the required documents and waited for months to receive an answer. Finally the $1,200+ fee was charged to my account and they reviewed our application. A few days later we received notice that they required proof of my income, so we sent them that. A few weeks later we received notice that our application was denied because I failed to provide 3 years' worth of tax information. In the meantime, the fee for the application went up to $1440, so I spent a few months gathering that and all the necessary documents gain and sent the application again in April. This time we sent forms I-485, I-864, I-765, and I-131 altogether. I read mixed information on whether I needed to include the fees for forms I-765 and I-131. We read somewhere that if we were sending those forms along with the I-485 we didn't have to pay that fee, so we didn't send it. Just a few days ago we received another set of notices. The first two were for forms I-765 and I-131 saying we needed to include the fees. So that's not a huge issue, we will get the funds and pay the fees so they can process that. Our big issue is that they also sent a "Request For Evidence" for form I-485. It is a 5-page document requesting pretty much everything we had just sent them. The first page says that based on the documents we submitted, they could not determine that the petitioning sponsor on Form I-864 is qualified. I calculated that I did meet the required 125% of the federal poverty guideline for my household size, but maybe someone here can just confirm this for me. I have custody of 2 kids in my house from a previous relationship and a 3rd kid with my wife. How much did I have to gross in 2023 to qualify without having to get a joint sponsor? Also, any other help you guys can provide would be immensely appreciated. My wife's uncle has become very ill back in Guatemala and this is making her very depressed.

Hello fine people of VisaJourney,

I have a unique situation, and I'm hoping for answers from some people with experience departing from the Philippines.

My fianc is from Malitbog, but currently works on Doha, Qatar.

She interviewed 2 days ago and was approved for her visa in Doha.

She needs to work for 2-3 more months to save some money to come, but she also wants to spend 3-4 weeks at home in the Philippines visiting her family before coming.

She heard that there is unique paperwork you may need as a Philippine's citizen when emigrating to the US that other embassies may not require.

Researching this further, it sounds like it's only a class to get her CFO certification...?

In any case, we are on a very strict time limit with her working for an extra few months and going home.

By the time she comes here, we will only have 2-3 weeks before her 6 month time limit expires.

So we are concerned about getting everything she will need so she can leave the Philippines without any delays.

So, is the CFO certification all she will need in addition to her visa?

Anything else we need or need to be aware of...?

Thanks!

Hello, my husband currently has his green card. He is awaiting his n400 interview. While he is a permanent resident can he apply for his mother to get her green card? Does it make a difference if he waits for his citizenship process to be over (for him or her). Also my mother in law has another son who is 16. can my husband apply for him as well so they can come together ?
