US Immigration from Canada

Getting reading to file our paperwork for adjustment. For the Affidavit of support I m trying to determine for sure which of my kids count as dependents.first off NONE of them live with me. Oldest is 28, lives in his own, I know he doesn t. Second will be 21 in one month, lives with his father has a full time job and provides for more than 50% of his own expenses. Third is 19 also lives with her father, works full time and provides for more than 50% of her own expenses. Youngest is 17, lives with his father but I claim him on taxes per our divorce agreement.

I ve been told and read conflicting info. Some stating only the 17 year old needs to be claimed for the AOS others saying all 3 youngest.

my W2 is 47k for 2022 but the previous years I was under(2021) or filing with my ex ( roughly 78k combined for 2020 and 2019).

just hoping to get some clarification.

My mom has an interview date received today.

What original documents be presented from Petitioner's side.

I know the applicant's original documents to be presented but I am not sure on the petitioner side.

• Affidavit of support the original one?
• The Naturalization cert?
• Birth Cert
• Marriage Cert
• old and current paystubs?
• The Tax statement new and old?

Please advise. I am planning to send these originals by courier to her.

Has anyone recently AND successfully filed an online I-90 with the fee waived after USPS misdelivered? If so what steps did you take to ensure this? We really do not want to pay the $455 fee if we can avoid it since money is tight and prefer to file online since it would be faster and easier. Our situation is explained below.

I live in a house where a second family rents from the first floor unit so we have 2 mailboxes, one for their family and and one for mine. After my I485 was approved, I received a tracking number. After some waiting, the tracking said it was delivered to a "PO box" with no number. We do not have a PO box. I called the USPS office that delivered it and the lady that answered the call said it was strange that the tracking says delivered to a PO box with no number and that it shouldn't happen. Turns out, she recalled that she was the one that delivered it and said she didn't know which mailbox it was (even though they're labeled - mine says 2F for floor 2, which is reflected in my address) so she put it in a random one - which turned out to be the incorrect one. We've never had past USCIS correspondence misdelivered before so I was confused. I spoke to the family downstairs about it and they don't have it/don't know any information about it. Basically, we have no idea where it is now. Maybe someone on the first floor took it and threw it out or lost it in their house. We cannot accuse them of anything. Ultimately, it is still USPS' fault for misdelivering it. Their usual postman was on holiday during the time they delivered it so the lady that filled in for him was from another office, unfamiliar with our mailboxes. I asked them to write me a statement or letter to confirm they delivered it to the wrong mailbox and they agreed. Waiting on that to be sent to me currently.

We called USCIS and asked what we should do. They told us to file a paper I-90 along with a fee waiver but I'm worried it will be denied. I also did some searching on this forum to compare other people's similar USPS experiences and it seems mixed. For example, these posts were able to get it successfully waived:

The first one was able to get it waived for free online but the second one seemed to have done the paper filing with a fee waiver form.

But there are also some failed experiences:

These are pretty old from 2015, 2017, 2019 so I really want to know if there are more recent cases where they were successful. Should I bite the bullet and pay the $455 lost/stolen option and attempt to file a fee waiver to be "safe" and get a stamp OR do I have good chances of filing online as "never received" since I will have the statement from USPS that they misdelivered?

Hi guys,

I know this is a common topic and it's something I've been considering recently, so I guess I just wanted some further insight.

My fianc and I are currently 6 months (July21 filers) into our i-129f, meaning we still have roughly another 10 months to go for our approval (Oct estimated approval).

I'm seeing that the wait time for for CR-1 Visa is roughly 10 months right now, so it's been on my mind about switching, so I can avoid the whole AOS.

Is the timeline really 10 months right now for a spousal, and are they all processed in California as well? Because when I check the processing times they're all roughly the same at all the service centers, with the exception of Vermont which is 16 months, and I would hate for mine to be sent there and have added even more time.

I filed for a I-129F in July 2021. On September 28 2022, I received NOA2 form I-797 saying it's "Valid From 09/28/2022 to 01/27/2023".

On December 20, 2022, I received an email notice from NVC saying they have forwarded the petition to the Canadian US Consulate in Montreal. However my partner is still waiting to receive the packet from the US Consulate via mail.

Do I need to file an extension on the I-797, since that date is in less than 3 weeks? If that date passes, does USCIS drop the case? I'm finding conflicting information, some saying that it's automatically extended, some saying that it doesn't matter as soon as the NVC processes the case, and both of us worried that we should try to extend it anyway. And I don't know the best way to do that.
