US Immigration from Canada

Hey! I am the beneficiary in my K-1 Visa journey and am helping my fianc e fill out the I-129F, but we are unsure about the proper way to fill out additional addresses and employment history. We want to make sure everything is filled out correctly to avoid any issues. My fianc e (the petitioner) has a total of 3 jobs to list and 3 addresses to list.

My first question is in regard to Part 1, 9a-10b; It states to "Provide your current address first if it is different from your mailing address". Since his current address is the same as his mailing address, we wrote N/A for all spaces except 10a and 10b where we stated the date relating to his current address. I read that this was the accepted way to do it in another forum post on this website, but wanted to double check this was still the case.

Second question is about additional address and employment listing. Since there are only 2 spots for each, and he needs to list 3 for each (address and employment), what is the proper way to do so? Currently for the address portion we have filled out Physical Address 1 with N/A (since it is the same as mailing address), and then in Physical Address 2 we wrote "See Part 8". For the employment part, we filled out his current employer in Employer 1, and then in Employer 2 we filled with N/A and wrote "See Part 8". I've attached screenshots of both page 2 and page 13. On page 13, 5.d. I wrote an example of how we formatted the information.

Any help is appreciated!

I applied for the I-130 for my husband August 10, 2022. Right now my progress on USCIS says that "Your case is taking longer than expected to process. You will be notified if you need to take any action."

Is there anything else I should be doing or anyone I should be contacting? I know that processing time is taking longer for many people, I just want to make sure I am doing everything possible to make sure this process goes as smoothly and ideally quickly as possible.

Hi all, my husband received an RFE for his I-485 for marriage proof. We submitted our response online on 6/25/2023. 60 days have gone by and nothing. We sent an inquiry online on 8/26. How long should we expect to get a response? Thanks much!

Hi all,

In 2014 I got married in the USA on a K-1 visa. I got the 2-year green card after this, but in 2017 we relocated to Canada (where I am from) before I got the 10 year, so was unable to renew as we had taken up residence in Canada.

Now we would like to return to live in the USA. We have filled out and submitted the I-130.

1) Is there any part of the process that is made easier or will be skipped as I was already thoroughly vetted the last time and previously held a green card?

2) Once the I-130 is approved, is that when I can take up residence and apply for the adjustment of status with the I-485? Am I able to move to the USA before this and add my I-485 as a concurrent filing? I'm confused by the fact that those that entered the country legally can file both concurrently, when we thought I needed permission through the I-130 to move there in the first place. Are people just entering as visitors and then staying and applying?

Thanks for any help with these questions! I still find these processes difficult to figure out and navigate, despite the fact that we did it successfully once before.

Hi everyone,
I'm living in the US and married to a US citizen and applied for a marriage petition (I130) and permanent residency (I485) in April 2022. My work authorization was approved last year and we received notice of our interview a week before the interview date. We went to the interview a month ago and it went well, my I130 was approved right away however since I didn't have my medical (I693) complete, they couldn't finalize my application. I'm in the process of finishing my medical on my end however I was under the impression that I should be waiting for an official RFE prior to submitting any additional information on my case. I received a courtesy notice letter for my I693 last year but was pregnant then and couldn't do some of the required immunizations but never received an RFE for it. Once I'm done my medical - which I'm expecting should be done in the next week, should I submit it (my I693) or wait for an RFE?

To date, my file still says "Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS - nothing is outstanding at this time".

I know I dropped the ball by not having my I693 in time for the interview, I was thinking I'd get at least 2-3 weeks notice before the interview date. I just don't want to wait in limbo and not sure what the next steps are.

Thanks!
