US Immigration from Hong Kong

Hi VJ members,

In a few months, I'll be eligible for applying under the 3-year rule. I have a question as I started to do my research.

After I became LPR, I worked remotely under a contract with a company in Hong Kong for a few months. When I filed taxes here (MFJ), the income was treated as self-employment income. So when I list my employment history, should I just put those few months as self-employment and not putting the name of that Hong Kong company?

Hello, my CR-1 visa is at the NVC stage, and I'm researching what sort of documents I will need to send in.

Hi everyone, my I-130 petition has just been approved and is currently at the NVC stage and I have received the welcome letter.

I know that the next step is to pay online and then wait until NVC has processed payments and I can access Form DS-260.

In the meantime, can I start to work on the civil documents including getting a police certificate? I reside in Hong Kong and they require you to do it in person, however I am travelling for 2 months starting Sunday and I would like to get this done ASAP to avoid any delays in my visa process.

The requirements only state that I need the welcome letter as well as proof of identity- https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/HongKong.html

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, we've finally gotten our interview date! Some questions:

1. Petitioner has switched jobs - should we update the I864/AOS?

2. I've moved houses - should we update the DS260?

3. My NBI is still valid (expired June 2023) but the address is still my old one. Is that ok?

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I have been researching my situation a lot and need some help. My Fianc is Filipino and she has been working in Hong Kong for 6 years. She has 2 children that we would also like to bring to the US. From what I can tell the K1 is a good option for this however we want to go through the embassy in Hong Kong because the wait time in Hong Kong is less and that is where she lives. My understanding is when a K2 is applied for the children the embassy will want to move her case to Manila. With a CR1 she can travel back to the Philippines right away after coming to the US. I would rather here leave Hong Kong and bring them through the POE with her all in 1 trip due to travel costs.

any thoughts would be appreciated.
thanks

Tim
