US Immigration from Brazil

Hello there

On November 3rd we received our NOA2 (more than 3 months ago) but no news that NVC received our petition.
Is this due to a delay due to the pandemic? Are they not sending notifications due to the embassy in my country, Brazil, isn't processing K1 visas? Or another possibility?

Thanks in advance for any reply

So I've been in this forum for A WHILE, have been in the US since 2006 as F-1, then OPT, then H1B, then AOS to LPR, and finally became a US citizen back in 2019 - I consider myself an amateur immigration specialist. So imagine my surprise when I get a call from my mother and it goes something like this:

- I'm applying to renew my tourist visa to come see you, but I talked to this consultant and she asked if you're a permanent resident or a citizen.

- Citizen. You went to my citizenship ceremony.

- But aren't you also a permanent resident?

- No, that's a green card holder.

- But you're a green card holder.

- No, I'm a citizen. I gave back my green card. Remember, you were there?

- But then she says I'm not eligible for a tourist visa and have to apply for a green card instead.

- What? Why?

- Because my daughter is a citizen! And she said I can't apply for the green card, it has to be you. So can you apply?

- Ok, slow waaaay down. First, stop talking to this woman. Second, you can absolutely apply for a tourist visa to come see me. And third, are you planning to move to the US permanently?

- No, definitely not!

- So I'm not going to apply for your green card, that's for living here, not visiting.

- Are you sure?

- I spent literal hundreds of hours reading about this. Yes.

Thought you guys might find this humorous. The amount of misinformation out there is staggering.

Hello!

we re in the middle of changing address (literally moving out right now) to a new apartment, but we re also about to send our i751 with the new address and the new lease.

question:

1) Do we still file AR 11?

If so, do we include Form AR-11 in the i751 packet.

2) is it still necessary to file AR 11 if the address is already updated in i751?

3) should we send the i751 first. Then send another application for AR -11

thank you!

Hi, I'm a US Citizen, my husband is currently a Non-Resident Alien. As I'm filing my taxes (and this will be part of our AOS process), I see that I'm able to file the Federal Tax as "married filing jointly" and the State Tax from Massachusetts does not let to file as "married filing jointly". Has anyone got a similar issue? I'm searching for advice on how is the proper way to file the taxes.

Thank you in advanced!!
