US Immigration from Australia

As some ROC filers have noticed, the spreadsheet we all use has had some issues. Major issues! The pages are blank. A couple of us have gotten together and tried to revert to older versions, which @KandN was able to find, and which worked for a short time and then they went blank, too. We're not sure of what happened, but it seems like the spreadsheet may have been corrupted. I created a brand new Google Sheet, and copied all our info into it. I wouldn't have known how, if @SoCal2021 hadn't explained it. Everything from October 8, 11:00 AM (EST, I think but not sure) and before is there. If you added anything after that, please add it in again. It should be working. Please, comment and let me know if it looks alright to you. The bright side for me is that I've learned how to do something new!

Hi!

My partner who is a US citizen is planning on moving back to America - we are currently living in Australia together, waiting for our NOA2. I have my B1 visa and wanting to stay with her over there for 6 months while we wait for my CR1 visa interview.

I m only worried because I will have to quit my job and end my lease with her. Will this be enough information to tie me back to Australia?

- Savings (more than enough to support me over there)
- Credit cards, bank statements in Australia (I pay an annual fee on my credit card)
- Phone Bill
- Australian Private health insurance
- A letter from petitioner saying I ll be staying for 6 months
- Work documentation from Petitioner jobs
- Return trip booked
- Strong ties to Family (letter from a doctor - family members are sick)
- Travel insurance
- Nursing registration
- Marriage certificate

I was planning on selling my car prior but I can keep it if this will support my case by having my registration papers, and the x2 insurances on it.

I am USC. My spouse and I live together in Australia. We've been DQ'd and interview to be scheduled soon.

Spouse's father just won a significant, high-profile settlement, and has gifted us a sizeable sum for our relocation fund. That sum pushes our savings to over 3x the Federal Poverty Guidelines. We initially had a joint sponsor, but would like to relinquish the shared burden of joint sponsorship. However, I understand the suspicion that such a windfall might arouse in a Consular Officer adjudicating spouse's visa application.

Is there any way to signify the legitimacy of our savings to use as assets? Or are we stuck with having to use a joint sponsor?

My husband s current EAD/AP combo card expires at the end of December 2021. We had our AOS interview end of April 2021 and still haven t received a decision. We were waiting to renew combo card as we were hoping to hear back on the green card before combo card expires, but now it s cutting it close so we are applying to renew. The work permit can now apparently be filed online, any experience with this vs paper app? To renew work permit and travel permit, I know we need to resubmit applications as well as copies of NOAs and proof our I-485 is still pending. Are we required to also send all of the original supporting documents (passport photos, I-94 etc)? It s my understanding that we will just get a receipt extending another 180 days, is this correct or should we expect another, updated combo card? Thank you for any tips!

My husband and I are beginning to prepare our ROC application & packet (we can file 10/31 and my goal is to have it in the mail on 11/1). I've been going through our financial accounts and had a question about what to send for a particular credit card. My husband is an authorized user on my Discover card, but he rarely (if ever) actually uses the card itself. I also rarely use my card - most charges are small automatic payments for things like Hulu. I have downloaded a couple of documents from the website that show his status as an authorized user, but I don't see anything in the statements that really bolsters our packet - for example, only my name shows on the statement, and with the exception of maybe 3-4 statements in the last 2 years, the statements don't show him making purchases.

Is there any reason to include statements for this account? And if I leave them out, do I need to explain why? We also share a CapitalOne Credit Card account, and I am sending those statements because we both regularly use that account for certain small purchases.

Any input/feedback is appreciated!
