US Immigration from Hong Kong

Hi VJ members,

I finally moved to the US 2 days ago. My POE was Dallas Fort-Worth. At immigration, I showed my IR1 visa to the officer and told him that I'm moving to the US. Then he handed me to another officer who led me into a room to wait with other people. I had waited for 1.5 hours until they called my name. The only question asked was to verify my U.S. address. The officer said the green card will be mailed to this address in 3 to 6 months. Then they stamped on my passport and let me out.

On the way out, I was showed to the baggage claim and then continued with my connecting flight. I was confused why I wasn't asked to do any customs declaration step.

Hopefully other stuff (like the unaccompanied personal effects sent through mail) would also be smooth.

Hi. I'm from Hong Kong. Just wanna create a post to record the process and time line of applying K-1 visa during pandemic and (removed) political situation around the world.

We received NOA1 26th Sept 2020.

Received date of application is 8th Sept 2020; Notice date is 13th Sept 2020.

Gonna wait a longgggggggggggg time for next step.

It's so hard to be in an endless long distance relationship again T^T

Hi everyone,

Please let me know if im posting it on the wrong forum. But my question is, if I arrive in the states and need to be quarantined for 14 days (which is required in the state that my fiance lives in), I get tested before we get married, and what would happen, if God Forbid, I tested positive? What would the procedure be? Would they make me leave the country at that point? Will it affect the adjustment of status process (i.e. the medical form)?

Obviously, I would be super careful on my travels to the states, but what if I catch it?

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi everyone, I got some questions when filling out the I-864 form.

We are applying the IR-1 visa and currently in the NVC process. My husband (the petitioner) lives with me here in Hong Kong before and he went back to the US since April to take care of his mother during this pandemic. They live at the same house in the US. I'm preparing the I-864 form and we might need his mother to be our joint sponsor. My question is should we let her fill out the I-864 or I-864A form??

Thank you in advance

Hi all

i have submit my 1-130 form for Cr1 in end Feb and receive NOA1 on Mar2020. Then no more update...Anyone have experience that how long will receive the NOV2 now? My friend received the NOV1 on December 2019 and now still waiting for NOV2, the priority date is earlier than processing time now... so wondering if it will delay a long time due to covid-19?

thanks all
