US Immigration from Egypt

Saw this forum and thought it might be good to ask this somewhat complex question. I have seen that spouses can be credited with each other s social security quarters to equal to 40 while married (theoretically fulfilling the I-864 s requirements of 40 quarters to end in 5 years instead of 10 years?). However I do wonder if it would count AFTER a divorce. The quarters being reverted back to 20 and would reinstate the financial responsibilities an I-864?

According to the I-864 form itself, it says this:

Your obligations that you signed will end if the person who becomes a lawful permanent resident based on that affidavit:

B. Has worked, or can receive credit for, 40 quarters of coverage under the Social Security Act;

Now, according to the Social security administration, if a spouse divorces another, they loose the ability to count their ex-spouse s quarters. Which would then bring them back down to 20 quarters instead of 40 (after 5 years of working.). HOWEVER, the I-864 explicitly states your obligations will end when the alien CAN receive credit for 40 quarters of work. So am I correct to understand the agreement ends at 5 years and stays ended, even if a year or years later they get divorced? I m deducting that from the fact that it says it ends when the immigrant can receive or is eligible to receive credit for 40 quarters of social security. So can it be reinstated? I don t see a clause for that, but interested to hear everyone s thoughts, opinions, experiences, and perhaps links to real life scenarios.

Hello!

I received the RFE letter today and we were asked for more supporting doc that we intent to marry.

When I sent our intent to marry letter, my fianc signed the form and scanned it. I also signed on the same paper.

My question is, does USCIS accept scanned signed letter or do they really need the actual letter with his signature?

Thank you!

My congresswoman emailed me las week, on the day our case turned 16 month, saying that we have an RFE. It's annoying to know that after 16 months of wait, we get an RFE. And I can't think of anything that I missed with the application. I was very thorough. Although, I am grateful to know that they are working on our case. I'm grateful to my congresswoman as well.

Anyway... My question is. USCIS said that they sent out the RFE on 8/18/22. However, since then, the case status has not change yet on the app, in the USCIS website, and in MyUSCIS. Is that normal?

Honestly, I don't trust USCIS anymore. I will only believe it once I have the letter.

Hi,

Me and my ex spouse filed a joint I-751 petition in November 2018. She filed for divorce end of 2020 and I only received my divorce decree in June, 2022. Luckily and finally, after sending the decree to USCIS, my interview is coming up. The documents we sent in the joint filing + documents I will take with me:

- Joint apartment lease for 2017 through end fo 2020.

- Joint tax returns 2017-2020.

- Child birth certificate.

- Medical/Dental/Vision insurance.

- Statement from bank mentioning she was an authorized user on my credit card between XX/2017 - XX/2020.

- Timeline of relationship in pictures with lots of family/friends - we were school friends back in our home country since 2008. friends (2008) -> dating (2014) -> engaged (2014) -> married (2015) -> came to the US together (2017) -> divorce initiated (2020) -> divorce finalized (2022).

- Evidence of co-parenting our son after divorce.

Is this sufficient? We do not have joint bank accounts as she never had a job and there were no finances to co-mingle really.
