US Immigration from Colombia

Hi everyone,

I know that I cannot travel to Canada right now and it is exacly why I am asking because i don't think Canada would open the border any time soon (surely not before my green card acutally expires). As a result, I want to know if anybody ever had experience travelling to Canada by presenting I-797 along with an expired green card (Especially for someone who originally needs a visa to enter Canada like me) ?

Also, I have NEXUS and Global Entry. Will that still be working if my green card expires? (Because I remember that I need to scan my green card)

Thanks a lot!

We ve been waiting on administrative processing for almost a year and all of the sudden I see this.

Hi everyone,

Our AOS documents at NVC got approved thankfully but I received a comment that said I did not make enough $ and that was based on my 2019 tax returns. Currently I make enough and hit the poverty threshold for two household members.

We are waiting for our interview to be scheduled but I was wondering what would be some documents for my spouse to bring to the Bogota, Colombia embassy to prove he will not be a public charge.

I understand there is the co sponsor option, but we do not have family members who can do that for us.

Since 2021 is around the corner and who knows when we will have an interview, let's say the interview is next year..

Could I have my spouse bring my 2020 tax returns of the earnings made during grad school? (Currently a grad student and graduate in 2022) , and I also have a government job lined up after graduate school so would a contract of that be sufficient?

thanks for any information.

Hi friends,

My spouse and I submitted our NVC related documents and they were accepted but we also received the following feedback for my AOS financial sponsorship docs such as the I864:

"ANGELL does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview."

I have a few thoughts that come to mind on what to do in the meantime and wanted your thoughts on the topic.

Background info:

-I am a USC and my spouse is Colombian.

-We had to submit the I864

-I submitted my tax returns for 2018 and 2019 but they each were below the threshold for two household members of $21,550 because I was a Peace Corps volunteer.

-However, this year up to today and the estimated earnings will be around $24,000 (I am graduate student and work three mini jobs).

-I have scholarships that will be granted next year and I have a federal government job lined up after graduate school, a security clearance, and medical clearance. I will graduate in 2022, I received my medical clearance, and I am waiting for my security clearance.

Right now, would it be a good idea to add in the "additional documents" section information about the future stipends I will receive next year and the future federal government job that will be paying me on a FS scale? As well as comment that the 2019 and 2018 amounts were low due to being paid in the local currency as a Peace Corps Volunteer?

Has anyone received a notification like this?

What should my spouse do or prepare for when we can get an interview regarding my financial earnings? Could he just prove with evidence of my future job?

Lastly, it says that "After your documentation has been accepted by NVC, your interview will be scheduled at the local U.S. Embassy or Consulate." So do we wait for further information from them? The US Embassy in Bogota, Colombia is not open yet.

Thank you for any information you may have on this.
