US Immigration from England

Hi all. Just wanted to ask a few questions on the processing times to try and determine how long things will take.

So i have noticed applications from September 2020 (according to other VJ members' timelines) have been approved from Nebraska and some haven't. According to the USCIS processing times it is estimating 6-8 months for the processing of USC Spousal Applications. To follow this and this is where my questions come from, I have also noticed people with timelines from 2019 who have waited 300+ days for i130 approval and a further 200+ days for complete visa approval.

What determines the incredible difference in processing times?

Also, when the case gets sent to NVC and you submit your documents etc. Is there a way of knowing when it will get sent to the local embassy (London in our case and the cases i have been looking at).

My wife is the beneficiary, adjusting from K1, she has a SNN, AOS package already sent but we are responding to our I-944 RFIE.

My wife doesn t have a credit card and neither do I, we both are debt free. She has a SSN with her maiden name on it. It s been roughly 13 months since she entered on her K1. We had tried months ago to check her credit online and nothing came up, so we tried endlessly to get one of the three major credit agencies to mail us a letter stating that she doesn t have a report and they misspelled her common first name 4 times in a row. The 5th time, TransUnion finally sent us a letter with the right name, but upon closer inspection it is not a letter stating that she does not have a credit report, rather a letter that appears to be... a WEIRD credit report.. it shows her full married name at the top with her personal info, then under that it shows account review inquiries where we had tried to view her credit report months ago on different occasions to get them to send us a letter. Then under that, it says special messages and says FILE SSN LIKELY NOT ISSUED PRIOR TO JUNE 2011 . The rest is just TransUnion s contact info.

My probably stupid question to you guys is, is this considered a credit report? It has no credit score or other information except for info on prior times we tried to find her credit report.

When we try finding her credit report on Experian and Equifax, they both give error messages saying that her credit report cannot be found. Should we include these and claim she has no credit report, or DOES she have a credit report and it s just completely blank? When we look on the TransUnion website her report is literally a blank drop down menu with nothing on it. Is this a glitch or a weird blank credit report? Thanks so much, any advice on this topic is much appreciated.

Hey all. We are finishing up the I-944 to send in as a response to the RFIE. I have a question. Part 3. Number 15. B. Asks:

What is your total annual deductible or annual premium?

These are two very different things. There is only one box to type in here, which one do we put? She has catastrophic coverage, not through an employer, non-subsidized. Bought straight from the company's website. We know what her deductible is, and how much we pay monthly. Please help? Haha. Thank you!

Hi all. We are filing our 130/i130a tonight and we just wanted to double check everything is correct. Just looking for personalised answers for my case. I am from the UK and my partner is a USC and we married under 1 month ago.

I130 is complete. Filled in ourselves online, don't think there are any issues here.

I130a, all looks good, only one possible hiccup is i personally do not know my dad's DOB, i know his name, where he was born and I know he still lives in the same area as me but that's all.

Evidence - Made a powerpoint with 8 photos, little explanations where they were taken and backgrounds are involved, Mexico, London, New York, Greece etc. Two pages of passport stamps also included and one boarding pass (only one i could find, happy to leave this out if needed) We don't have joint accounts, kids etc.

Passport photos, my wife (the petitioner) has her photos scanned kind of like a document so they aren't great quality, would this be okay?

Mine I took a little while ago (not too long, still look the exact same) but the quality is much better and its a pack of four photos. Do i need to crop this down to 1 or 2 photos or can i just upload the bulk so it's there?

Finally, I changed my name through deed poll as I never knew my dad and didn't want his name so i changed my name and the spelling of my first name. I have all official documents with my new name on my passport, licence etc but do i need to upload a copy of my deed poll or is it not required if I have my passport showing my new name? Nothing we are attaching has my old name but i have included it in the i130a where it says something like "have you had any previous names". I don't want to disclose full information but it would be similar to changing your name from Rhys Smith to Reece Jones. So the pronunciation of the first name is the same but the entire name is spelled different. So idk if this may cause an issue or not but I thought i'd ask if it needs to be included as its pretty much the final hurdle for sending the application off.

Thank you!
