US Immigration from Canada

Hi

How important it is to keep USCIS updated about your mailing address? Our I 130 is still being processed at Nebraska (hopefully) center.

My husband (USC petitioner) moved away for 13 week work assignment. He'll be staying at temporary address for the duration of his work, so I wonder if we to need notify USCIS?

Do they send documents in the mail after I130 gets approved or the communication happens mostly through email.

Please advise.

Once the reply for RFE is submitted, how long does USCIS California take to make a decision?

After me and my fiance are married, we know we will need to file form I-864 as part of the AOS.

My fiance's income is slightly lower than the income requirements for I-864 (but above the requirement for I-134).

Can I file I-864A and use my assets to ensure we meet the requirements for the AOS?

Hi All,

We could use some advice on what evidence to give, specifically affidavits.

We have a ton of visits over the time period but unfortunately we didn't plan ahead well enough and there's not an abundance of evidence to submit. We visited each others families for Christmas 2019 and got just two photos with more than just us in them, which is more than can be said of the other trips, so we figured that would be the trip to focus on. Canada/USA crossings don't typically get passport stamps and for this Christmas trip we drove across each way so no airline receipts either. Because of the lack of stuff, we included our Google Timeline histories in the packet which show us traveling together for the whole trip of almost two weeks. We're thinking USCIS didn't really know what to do with the Google Timelines though, 'cause they sent us an RFE.

In hindsight, we could've done a better job of presenting the evidence. The Google Timeline screenshots had her name and email but mine didn't. The photos where in the packet but didn't have the date and place info handwritten on them (though the info was typed elsewhere in the packet, referencing the page with the photos.) So we're fixing what we think needs it but we also want to add a bit more, specifically affidavits from our families saying we were there. I haven't been able to find much additional info on what's needed for affidavits though. Most of the info I have is from the RFE packet itself, which has some decent info on what the affidavits should contain but doesn't say anything about how they should be structured.

Anyway, these are the questions I have.

The RFE says affidavits are, "Written statement sworn to or affirmed by two persons, other than [yourselves]..." Trying to not take it too literally, it sounds like we should have one affidavit signed by everyone at a particular event. So we'd have one affidavit for Christmas with her family and one for Christmas with mine. Having one affidavit for everyone involved is not what we should do. Does that sound right?

Looking up the definition of 'affidavit' it sounds like they need to be notarized. The RFE doesn't mention notarization at all though. Is notarization necessary?

Any other comments or suggestions are totally welcome.

Thanks everyone!

I just received my IR1 visa and am planning to do my POE next week. I just paid my immigrant fee online on the USCIS website, but noticed after paying on my profile on the USCIS website, where it says "pending cases" it has I-551, and below "I-551 Personal Information" it has my full name listed like this:

MyFirstName MyMiddleName "NMN" MyLastName

So there's "NMN" right in the middle of my name. Apparently NMN stands for "no middle name", which is ridiculous because my middle name is listed right next to it.

The temporary visa that has been put in my passport has no such typos.

My questions are:

1. Is this going to cause me an issue at the POE next week (as in will the border agent see a mismatch in names in their system with the name in my passport and visa and say I can't come in)
2. Does this mean when my green card is mailed to me, it will say "NMN" in it, and
3. If so, is this going to be a major issue to correct

Thank you for any help!!
