US Immigration from Colombia

Hi guys, I have been losing sleep for the past two weeks thinking and reading and can't get a definite answer on my own. I am currently living in Bogota Colombia with my Fiance. I lost my job in March 2020 due to COVID where I was making around 38,000 and filing taxes for the past 4 years under that same amount. I am currently working as a Professor in Bogota but dont make that here. My joint sponsor backed out last minute because he is moving to another country. When my k1 get to the embassy and I can book an interview my game plan is to go back to the states to obtain employment. I know I can get a job there that would pay annually to be above the poverty limit. We would be 2 and my future cosponsor is just 1. He has made over 40,000 in the past two years but his mother died this year he took some time off and is only set to make around 24,000 this year. He offered to sponsor but i am not sure what would be better? What should I do. Thank you guys for your responses .....

So I am about to submit my N-400. One question has me stumped. Do you have any children? I do not. My husband (USC) has an adult daughter from a previous marriage. We asked an atty and she said to include since it needs to be consistent with the paperwork we filed for AOS. We did NOT include my husband's daughter info on the AOS paperwork (there was a question about dependents, where he listed her as "1." But that's it. Has anyone seen others ask this question in the past? Include the step-daughter on my application or not? She' 25+, employed, college-educated, and supports herself. Thoughts?

We just got an email from the NVC that they were sending our application to the Colombian embassy. We checked the ceac status and it said in transit. Yesterday it changed to ready. What can we do now? Can we schedule the interview without our packet of instructions? We just want to make this go as smooth and quickly as possible.

THANK YOU!

My wife came to the US on a fiance Visa in November 2011. In her passport it shows the Visa good thru May 2012. We married in the required 90 day period. Sometime over the next few years we went thru the process to get her green card. I see we have a green card that says Resdient since 7/1/14 (which confuses me b/c I know we had another card between 2012 nd 2014, regardless....

1) Legal Name... do we use my last name, which is on her Permanent Residence card and which she uses for everything or do we use the name on her birth certificate

2) On what date did you become a lawful permanenet resident. The card says 7/11/2014, but I'm pretty sure it was prior to that. Perhaps she was called a "Conditional Permanent Resident" prior to 2014?

3) Name exactly as it appears on the Permanant resident card. Hmmm front of card uses a middle initial. Back of card uses a middle name. I.e. Jane E Doe on front. Jane Ethel Doe on back. Which one do we use?

4) USCIS Online Acct#? It says to go to Profile page. I do not see a profile page. I've logged out and logged back in and it there is an area to "edit" profile, but there is no profile page nor a USCIS Online Acct#.

5) Eye color... black/dark brown, ot really sure which... what if we put soemthing different in 2011, will it matter?

6) Employment.. I own a company... (fictional name)... The Doe Group, LLC. My wife is 1% owner and does Admin work for the company. I assume the best choice is put... self employed Admin/Clerk. It does not provide a blank to put company name if self employed. The alternative is to put... "employed" and then as company name put The Doe Group, LLC and Admin/Clerk, but that is technically incorrect since we own the company we are considered self-employed. I.e. The correct terminology is we own an LLC, she is 1% owner and does clerical work. No salary. We just take distributions.... so??? Self employed and Admin/Clerk?

7) Trips outside the US in the last 5 years. On one trip we went to Colombia for 2 months and then spent 10 days in Puerto Rico. So if it was Jan 10, 2017 to March 10, 2017 in Colombia and March 10, 2017 to March 20, 2017 in Puerto Rico, do we put it all as 1 trip since it says "what countries did you visit on this trip? So we'd put Jan 10, 2017 to March 27, 2017 Colombia and Puerto Rico, correct? Puerto Rico is considered "outside the US" for this question, correct?

8) Where is your current spouse currently employed... Do I put a) The Doe Group, LLC, b) Self-employed, or c) self employed at The Doe Group, LLC?

9) "My" divorce decree from my previous spouse... upload the entire document?

Thanks for the responses in advance!

Hi All,

Helping prepare an AOS package for parents of a USC, who overstayed a visitor visa (B2). A few questions:

1- in the forms that asks for beneficiary's (parent) past and current employment, is entering Self-Employed acceptable? What address should they enter if jobs are in many different places, like contracts. home address?

2- we hear often that undocumented immigrants should still file taxes (beneficiary filed). However none of the forms seem to ask for evidence/records that they did. Is that right? and should that tax filings be brought to AOS interview, or submitted with the package? does it need an explanation?

3- Beneficiary(parent) received an SSN from a student visa long ago (70s), does proof or evidence of it need to be submitted? They entered it in the forms, but don't have the original card and cannot get replacement

4- If petitioner meets I-864 requirements well above the guidelines, is it still recommended to add income from the other member of the household via I-864A or would it be overkill or fishy? (petitioner's spouse) adding them brings them to ~400% over guidelines..

Thanks so much!
