US Immigration from China

Hello,

I got DQ in July 29th, still waiting on interview letter from NVC, and I am aware on Oct. 18th, NVC has sent out lots of interview letter for Guangzhou Embassy, ranging DQ date from July 2024 to late September 2024. I have tried to contact NVC and got the answer that my case is still at NVC waiting on interview scheduled, and it was undergoing AP process even though I got DQ in July. Does anyone encounter this situation, I need some advice on how to push my case forward.

Thank you.

Hello friends

New member of the board here but have been silently reading and educating myself for few months here.

I am a US LPR and have filed I-130 for my wife, a Chinese citizen and currently an international graduate student here in the US on F1 visa. As her Application Filing priority date is becoming current now in October, we are moving forward with submitting her AOS application. I want to know when should we get her medical exam Form I-693 done? Should we include the exam report in the AOS packet and send along or wait until after I-485 has been submitted, USCIS issues an RFE for medical?

Based on what I've searched here - and there are lots & lots of personal experiences from members here - there doesn't seem to be a consensus on the pros/cons of one way or the other.

My concern is we're not getting readily available appointments in our nearby areas. As my wife doesn't have her childhood vaccination records available, this could further add delays in getting her final medical report back from the physician's office, possibly further delaying submitting her AOS package.

Would it be best to send out AOS without medical just so it gets in USCIS system and we don't have to worry about her PD regressing by any chance next month etc. ?

I've also read from members who sent their medical with AOS package that due to long processing time, their medical gets expired and USCIS asks them to get a new one anyways. So can anyone please guide us to what would be the best way to tackle this issue?

Thanks

Just received approval on our I-129f application, yay~

We are very anxious about filing out form I-134, the affidavit of financial support.

Helen the U.S. petitioner makes enough to meet the 100%-property-line benchmark for the two of us. However, she is also the head of household at home who s been supporting her parents who are both disabled and mostly unemployed. And her income will not be enough if all her families are considered as her dependents.

And here s tricky part number one: we are obviously planning on moving out together, just the two of us, once I (the beneficiary) arrive in the U.S.

Should she put me as her only dependent on form I-134?

Here s tricky question number two, we plan on scheduling for an interview as early as this coming February/ March , since by then we would be able to collect the necessary tax-related income proofs such as IRS transcript. When she s filing for this year s taxes, should she file as single instead of head of household to be consistent with our situation? Doing this will set her back thousands of dollars in tax return, a significant amount for her and her family.

Sorry for the lengthy questions, both of us are very hard workers and we are determined to make the best out of our situation during this whole K-1 process. Seeing her taking on extra shifts, and in her eyes the stress from uncertainty, I knew I needed to do my best to help her navigating through all this.

Thanks in advance

Sorry about this as it may be shoutout to push. Been forever since I was here but still a great resource.

Wife went back to help care for mother prior to surgery. It was delayed so she stayed to help as 2020 killed normal visits. She made dad go for checkup and he ended up with stage 4 lung and brain. She been trying to get a death cert to move finances to mom and it s been a struggle. I can t break free of work until after CNY. Mom had a stroke just before our daughter was born 10 years go so also dealing with her care and as you know ADA accessibility in China is almost nonexistent.

Any help navigating that web would be welcomed

I am the K1 mom, and I tried to expedite EAD in the K2 uscis account that the K2 daughter needs to work for financial independence for in-state tuition but got denied. K2 did her biometric with her Dad's (my ex) immigration case before and had two A-numbers, one from K2 and one from her Dad's immigration case. Can that be the problem? I did send another letter to USCIS to use the A-number of K2 case. Then I got a weird reply.

"We have reviewed your inquiry and need to advise you that we are not able to provide the information you have requested. Specifically, it is not clear that you are the applicant of the requested information or have the legal authority to act on behalf of the applicant.

Due to rules set forth in the Privacy Act of 1974, we cannot discuss the issues or share information concerning the immigration status of the applicant in this case, nor can we confirm that he or she has any action pending with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)."

Can anybody advise what is the meaning of this USCIS response? Do we wait or do anything? Thanks a lot!
