US Immigration from China

Hi, we have a family in my community that came here under the Uniting for Ukraine program and are staying at my friend s house.

How do Uniting for Ukraine beneficiaries receive work authorization/social security card? How long does this generally take? Their sponsors are a little bit confused as to how this works as whenever they apply for a job, they ask for a ssn, but they don t have one, but they seem to think they are allowed to work.

(my timeline totally unrelated. Asking for a friend who knew I had experience with immigration)

I filed I-130 for my husband in August, 2021

I just got an email from USCIS which says requiring interview with me(applicant)

Does anybody have same experience?

Dear all,

I am a Taiwan-born US citizen and my wife is Chinese. In March this year, we filed i-130 while we were in Shanghai. Currently our file is still with USCIS phase. Very recently, my wife and our kid moved to Taiwan to live with my parents, while I (myself) am going to move to US in next month for career/employment consideration. The address in Taiwan was filed to USCIS as a "mailing address", not the physical address (which was my earlier Shanghai address)
1) Should I immediately update USCIS about our location change? (Note that the petitioner and the beneficiary are moving to 2 different locations)
2) I hope to let my wife conduct interview in Taiwan. Will updating my wife s address to Taiwan can ensure she gets interview in Taiwan?

I m also curious with the fact that I m moving back to US, will this somehow shorten the overall process, given that there s a more urgent need to unite with my wife and child.

Thank you guys so much with your advices

Hello everyone!

I have a few questions regarding a request for evidence of current income by the NVC. I am in China right now and my employer said they can't provide me pay stubs, so I had them write me an employment letter. The problem is that the employment letter is not typed on company letterhead and provides monthly salary instead of yearly. Another problem is that my employment ended last month (July 2022) but my i-864 and this RFE response was given when I was still working (April and June 2022) .

Questions:

1.) Will this employment letter suffice?

2.) Will they make me submit a new i-864?

P.S. I am using assets to meet the requirements.

I wish I could make a phone call to the NVC, but their phone inquiry system has been suspended. I am afraid of getting trapped in an endless RFE loop.

Hello,

I have a question regarding how to proceed with form i-864 with respect to question 6.23 regarding taxes (See image). I am a little behind on my taxes - I have not file this years nor last. These are my options for answering the question:

1. Check "No", attach my most recent file from 3 years ago.

2. File taxes immediately, check "Yes", file i-864.

My question is regarding option 2: should I wait for the IRS to accept my taxes before filing form i-864, or is it enough to have postmarked them?

Thanks in advance.

PS: regardless of response, I will be filing my taxes immediately.
