US Immigration from Hungary

My parents will be moving to the US in a few months. They will be selling their house and will want to bring the money as supplementing living expense to the US incase of emergencies. They fully own the house so no tax deductions in their home country after selling. We expect the amount they would bring will be around 30K-40K.

Questions:

1. How best to transfer this money to the US since they will not have a bank account here yet? - Is it better to put it on a foreign bank card then withdraw it when they arrive transfer to a final/new account? Or is it better to wire it to our account?

2. Does this constitute as taxable income in the US? Does it, even if it is deposited into an account I own?

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi,

After waiting nearly 8 months we finally received our NOA2 on July 13 for the I-129F document. However, we have no heard anything from the NVC yet. At this point out only option is to call them and inquiry about our case correct?

Hi Everyone,

This is a relatively straightforward question - I will file the I-864 for my wife based on assets and not income. Does the value of assets need to be 3x 100% or 125% the federal poverty limit? I couldn't find a clear answer on this.

Thank you!

Hello all,

hope everyone is doing ok.
There is a section on the instructions section which talks about having 2 people sign affidavits as proof of on-going marriage. It is listed as #5 in the instructions.

My question is - is this really necessary?

It seems to be a bit much to have two people make a letter, sign it and have that be sent in.
If anyone with any experience can chime in - if you didnt send it and what happened.
I would appreciate that much.

Thanks,

MateR

We are in the final stages of the visa application, interview set for August. I expect my parents - 77 and 82 - would arrive sometime at the end of the year. If i have to i can start health insurance in October when application time opens.

My issue is finding insurance options that is not prohibitively expensive.

I went to the MarketPlace, which redirected me to Pennie - (Pennsylvania's marketplace) and once i filled in their information I was told they are not eligible because they are over 65, I should go to Medicare.

I talked to Medicare and they said they would not be eligible because they have not spent 5 years here and that I could purchase coverage for them only if I purchase a plan for myself and add them to it. That is paying for 3 people and i already have insurance through my employer. I expect that would be extremely expensive.

So it seems i am going in circles.

I also wanted to see if anyone has experience with getting insurance through VisitorsCoverage and whether it is reliable. If it is yes which plan is the most recommended especially if it becomes long term.
