US Immigration from India

I am a f1 student married to a USC. I am currently living with my spouse for the last 1.5 years inside the US. While filling the i-130 I found this question on page 5 part 4.

In 11a. I typed in my current residence inside the US that I share with my spouse, can someone help me with part 12 and 13 please.

Dear All,

Thank you for your time. Will you kindly give me a suggestion of what to do? Apparently, we are DQ but simultaneously we received an email that said we do not meet the minimum requirement and may get a joint sponsor. It said the decision would be made at the interview. Our scenario is: I am the American sponsor. My Indian husband and I both live together/work overseas. So, I have an overseas salary that has been tax exempt the last two years based on the physical presence test. I included my salary amount and last three pay stubs, but it seems that does not meet the requirement - even though the amount I earn is enough. AND we have sufficient assets in the US to qualify us. I own a house and savings accounts that definitely cover the required amount.

-Do I need a joint sponsor even though my assets are more than sufficient?

-Do I need to find that joint sponsor before the interview?

-If so, when do I submit the documents of the joint sponsor? Do I add them to them to the CEAC website? Or do I have my husband carry them to the interview?

-Would it help for me to have a lawyer in this case since my assets qualify for sponsorship?

Thank you in advance for your help and advice.

Hello everyone,

I am a F-1 Student living in the US and recently got married to a USC. My spouse and I have been living together for about 1.5 years in the same apartment which I was going to use as my mailing address.

I am filing for I-130, I-485 etc. this Friday and will be moving to a different city for a summer internship next week but my wife will be living in the same apt. In this case, how should I update USCIS about my change of address? Also, is it possible for me to receive mail at my wife's apt while I am away?

Thanks!

Our i129f expired. We sent the US consulate in Mumbai a request to extend but they said contact USCIS. Every Google search I see state to contact the US embassy to request an extension. Plus, USCIS website has no where to send an email for this type of request on their Contact Me page. There are only certain topics you can ask questions on.
Does anyone know the process of extending an expired I-129f in detail and specifics?
I see many vague Google responses to the question but no I ve seems to have a real answer of exactly how to do step by step.
Also, anyone have a way to email USCIS with a question and get answers ? Thank you

The title of this post is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but sometimes I'm really not sure.

I wrote about the nightmare of my husband trying to get an SSN based on his K1 visa last fall. After enlisting the help of our member of congress, the local SSA office called my husband in again to try to figure out why his immigration documents weren't being verified by USCIS. We later got an email from our congressmember's staff giving us the message she got from SSA. The SSA employee ended up calling DHS, which confirmed that the immigration documents were being shown as confirmed on their end, but SSA's system was still saying they weren't confirmed . It was purely a technological issue, and one that SSA alleged they could do nothing about. At that point it was only days before my husband's I-94 was expiring, and too late. (He applied for the SSN over 2 months before his I-94 was expiring.) So we've been waiting 6 months for his EAD to be approved, so he can finally get an SSN.

His EAD was finally approved on April 22. A week later, on April 29, we called SSA. An employee confirmed my husband's SSN card had been issued on April 22. But it's been over two weeks now and he still hasn't received it. We called the local SSA office today. They could give no explanation about why the SSN card hadn't arrived, and told us to "contact the postmaster." So we've scheduled an appointment for him to once again apply for an SSN card tomorrow (third time's the charm?).

The postal service delivers us mail every day, and I have a hard time believing the problem lies with them. After the atrocious "service" we received from SSA last fall, it's quite easy for me to believe SSA is still messing up somehow, regardless of their system showing the card as issued. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
