US Immigration from Canada

I m trying to figure this out but can t seem to find straight forward information. I came to the US from Canada in June on a B2 visa. I think I meet the substantial presence test because I was in the states in 2020 for more than the required number of days.

My husband and I ended up getting married in August and applied for AOS. Our case hasn t really moved (still not even biometrics) so our lawyer has said we need to file taxes and get me an ITIN. I also filed my taxes in Canada since I was working there until March. We want to file jointly in the US. We will be getting my passport certified at the IRS when we go for an appointment.

Is there anything other than the W7 form we need to include on the tax return? Am I able to be treated as a resident alien? Do I need to include that letter stating I want to be treated as a resident alien or is the substantial presence test enough?

So here's the deal...

Due to Covid, my fiance was unemployed for awhile and his income for 2020 was only 22k. In mid July 2020 he started a new job making 27k but obviously he won't see a full years salary until the 2021 taxes. By then, our AOS would have already been sent.

Anyways... his AGI for the AOS will be significantly below the requirement of 27k (about 10k below since he has a daughter).

He has assets totalling only 20k.

However, I am the Canadian spouse and I have savings over 120k. By adding these to the I-864, will we definitely be in the clear?

Co-sponsor is not an option.

Hi All,

I submitted our I-130 late Octoberand received noa1 around late November from the Texas Processing Center. Is there a way to get an online log in to check status? If so, how?

Hey guys! We have been waiting for our P4 for a few weeks now and we're sure when to expect it. I was trying to operate the timeline on this website again and of course i just cant figure it out. I'm not sure how to sort by most recent, so there are dates from all over the place. I managed to find someone close to ours but it still didnt seem right. It said their P3 was sent out on March 17th and then the P4 was received on March 3rd. Is there a guide on how to work the timeline or maybe a better timeline on a different site that's more intuitive and easier to navigate? We're anxious to get our P4 and get this god forsaken process over before Canada goes into another lockdown or another crazy world event comes up and this process robs more of our life away together.

We are currently at the NVC stage for our CR1/I130 Visa. On the ceac.state.gov website they have a Visa Status Check , when we enter our information we see action required: submit requested documents. We have already submitted all of our applications, money, and financial and civil documents, so we were wondering if this is just outdated/normal and it is going to say this until we have the "documentarily qualified email" or if something is wrong?

We submitted everything via NVC on March 26th.

Thanks!!
