US Immigration from Hong Kong

Does anyone know if Canadian RRSP account with value over USD 10,000 needs to be filed under FBAR as well? I filed non-resident status when I left Canada years ago and only kept mutual funds in my RRSP account.

Hello everybody. I need some exact and definite answer here from people who have sure answer and knowledge only and please do not answer or comment here if your not exactly sure what the answer is. I am a filipino and now a US Citizen and filed for K1 fiancee visa to my filipino beneficiary and still currently working in HongKong. Were on the stage of waiting for NOA2. My question is I am going to buy a house here in America and I have some little savings to afford for a 3.5% downpayment of the house value that I am planning to buy through the FHA loan requirements. Now some people I read on other group says that later on when my fiancee is here and we got married and does the adjustment status after our marriage they said we will be denied because for that reason that I bought a house under using that FHA LOAN??? Is that true??? They said there is a new law abou adjustment of status for the k1 fiancee visa and I have attached here the screenshot photo please read. I just dont understand because I will be a first time home owner buyer thats why I am wanting to avail that FHA LOAN because it will only required 3.5% downpayment and I have a descent job that I can afford the monthly payment of the house and other utilities bills because my income is above 125% poverty guidelines. Please let me know who ever have exact and sure answer. Thank you

I'm wondering if anyone has ever successfully had the expiration date on their K1 visa changed to a later date after it was issued. I don't want to get into the exact specifics, but my fianc 's visa expiration date is in April (we were planning to move to the U.S. that month) but for family reasons, he needs to be able to travel overseas in June/July. Given that he would not be able to travel for several months after entering the U.S. while waiting for his travel approval, we're wondering if we should consider delaying our move a few months.

So the question is: do embassies/consulates even entertain such requests? We don't want to extend the 90-day period of course, we just want to have the ability to enter the U.S. at a later date without having to go through the entire K1 application and approval process again. We'd be willing to pay another MRV fee and do another medical exam if that was required. Any info would be appreciated!

My IR 1 visa interview is scheduled this Friday, I already did my medical. If all things go smooth my to-be-granted visa will expire at the beginning of May next year.

My husband and our 3 kids are all US citizens, they don t have a deadline to check into the US soil like me. I want to wait for them to finish school year (mid of June) and contract (mid August) before we all move to the US together as a family. But it will be approximately 3 months after my visa due date.

My question is, what should I do? I thought about delaying my interview appointment but with covid I don t want to risk the embassy closing its doors again. Do you think the officer can extend my visa due date? Or should I ask for reissue of visa? I don t really want to submit the documents again tho.

Do I have to arrive in US with my husband (the petitioner)? In that case we really can t go before May given he is still in contract and he can t take multiple weeks off for flying back and forth plus quarantine.

Any input is very much appreciated!!

Hi everyone, I find this forum the most useful and encouraging one to keep me positive over my wait for my family's visa. Hope to get some insights from you on my questions:

Visa type: F-3

Applicant: My husband. The application includes me as spouse, and our 1 year-old kid. 3 of us are already on DS260 form.

Status: Currently at NVC. We submitted everything on CEAC by 3 Sep 2020. Now waiting to receive DQ notice. Hopefully it would be reviewed by NVC this month.

Priority date: July 2008.....sadly stuck at the front of the waiting line, where the final action date has not moved for 2 months already.

Country we are in: Hong Kong

Question:

We are planning for the next baby. I believe, due to COVID, we may only be DQ by 2020 and interview may only come late 2021.

In the following questions, I assume we already achieve DQ status.

1. What if I get pregnant soon, and new baby is delivered before Letter of Interview. What will be the impact? Do we have to add the new baby in our DS260, submit scanned documents for the baby, and wait all over again to be DQ again? Will it delay our interview appointment? For information, it takes 1 month to obtain a passport for a new baby.

2. What if the new baby is delivered after the Letter of Interview but before the interview date?

3. What if the new baby is delivered after the interview date?

4. Actually, what timing of delivery would cause the least impact to our visa application? We have been waiting for years for the Visa but we also want to have this 2nd baby to come sooner.

5. Finally, assuming we get DQ by 2020, what would be a reasonable estimate of wait time until we can receive Letter of Interview under the COVID circumstances and Travel Ban this year? Is it that even if we receive DQ by 2020, we must wait for all the applications under Travel Ban since Mar 2020 to Dec 2020 to happen before our case can be scheduled for an interview??? Then should I predict at least 6-9 months for this............

Thank you very much in advance. The wait and unpredictability just disrupted a lot of our (and perhaps your) plans. But we try to prepare for the worst and hope for the best!
