US Immigration from Australia

Hi all,

My fiance will be arriving to the US in about a month on the K1 visa. I am trying to get all of his paperwork ready before hand so its easier.

He is currently in Australia and I will be moving to a different address that what was listed on the K-1 petition.

My questions are,

Do I need to notify USCIS of this address change before he gets here? and What address should I put down for Part 3, Question 2 of Form I-864, which asks for his current mailing address? I will be filling it out and signing it before he gets here, so I was just confused if it should be his current address, or the address we will be living at when he arrives in a month.

Thanks

I had requested the U.S. embassy to schedule my immigrant visa interview, and they replied stating that I need to submit an updated DS-260 before they can proceed with scheduling.

When I checked CEAC, my IV application status shows as Re-Opened. This is likely because I changed my embassy from Islamabad to Sydney, and several details in my original DS-260 have since changed (including address, contact info, etc.).

I m a bit hesitant now I ve come across a few posts where people mentioned that updating and resubmitting a reopened DS-260 might affect your position in the interview queue. I want to make sure that updating these details won t delay the process or push me further back in line.

Has anyone been through a similar situation embassy transfer, reopened DS-260, and interview scheduling?

My wife received this letter from the NVC today.

She had her Green Card approved in 2020 and has just submitted her n-400 for naturalization. She had her AOS done in New York.

What do we need to do next? Will this affect her N-400 application?

Thanks for any advise.

=============== NVC Letter ====================

After U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved the immigrant visa petition filed on your behalf, the U.S. Department of State's National Visa Center (NVC) sent you instructions for completing your immigrant visa application, paying fees, and submitting required documents. Our records indicate that you have not contacted NVC in more than one year to submit these items.

U.S. law requires immigrant visa applicants to apply for a visa within one year of availability. Section 203(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires the U.S. Department of State to terminate the registration of any alien who does not apply for an immigrant visa within one year of notification that a visa number is available.

If you do not pursue your immigrant visa application at NVC within one year of the date of this letter, the U.S. Department of State will begin the process of terminating your visa application.

If you wish to pursue an immigrant visa, please log into the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) at https://ceac.state.gov/IV in order to restart your case. Please note all applicable fees must be paid again. By logging into CEAC, you acknowledge and understand you will have to resubmit all required fees and documents in order to continue the immigrant visa process.

If you are no longer interested in pursuing your immigrant visa application, please inform NVC of your intentions by completing the Public Inquiry Form at https://nvc.state.gov/inquiry. In the "Type your Question Below" text box, please indicate ONE of the following:

1. No, I do not want to pursue my immigrant visa application because I have adjusted status. (Please attach a copy of both sides of your alien registration card.)
2. No, I do not want to pursue my immigrant visa application because I have received an immigrant visa through another petition and am now a permanent resident. (Please attach a copy of both sides of your alien registration card.)
3. No, I do not want to pursue my immigrant visa application because I am no longer interested in immigrating to the United States
4. No, I do not wish to pursue my immigrant visa for a different reason (please provide explanation).

If you do not reply to this notice within one year of the date of this letter, your immigrant visa application will begin the termination process. If you have any questions, please contact NVC by following the instructions online at https://nvc.state.gov/ask.

I'm adjusting from K1 and I recently had my Biometrics appointment. Almost immediately after the appointment, I got a message from USCIS that simply says 'We have taken an action on your case. Sign in to your account to view your case status'.

So I signed in through the official website and it shows that both the Biometrics and Interview step have been checked off. I'm assuming this means they have waived the AOS interview? Or is it too soon to tell?

For context, I already sent my AOS packet, received my NOA and have my Biometrics date set. I was wondering what my official status is, since it's past the I-94 90 day period now. Am I out of status?

I'd also like to know if I should always be carrying a copy of the NOA, my passport or anything else just in case?
