US Immigration from Indonesia

hi everyone,

ive been wondering this for a while and i could really use your help and advice

i am a k1 visa beneficiary about to start my life in the USA. i will be having a traditional wedding ceremony when im there and i ofcourse want my family to be there.

my family has never been to the US. i want them to apply for a tourist visa.

my questions are as follows:

1) should i have them put my visa details for their DS160 form? or should i leave it blank?

2) on their interview, should i tell my parents to not mention that they will be visiting me? or is it okay to be completely honest about their intentions

3) is there a chance that they will be deported back when they arrive in the US?

4) has there been cases where parents case for tourist visas been denied because the officers think that they will be living permanently in the US?

appreciate any advice you may have.

thanks,

m

My spouse will have the Embassy interview tomorrow in Jakarta, however, we already know he will most likely get administrative processing because his medical is not finished at the assigned hospital, (awaiting results of a sputum test.) We think results are expected at the end of August at which time the hospital submits the final completed medical to the embassy, (that is how it's done in Indonesia.) Question, will the embassy hold the passport pending the medical results and if all ok then approve the visa and send to the delivery address already given to them? or will they return the passport and request a new interview after the results are delivered?

Thanks

Hello, I got a question. My 2 years conditional Greencard will expires on April 2024. Can I travel to outside USA before my Greencard expires, let's say I will be traveling outside US on March 2024 for weeks. I will be still coming back before the expiration date? Thank you

Hello, my PD is Oct 17. 2022 and it still said the case is taking longer time than expected .. at the mean time my B1/B2 visa is about to expired in October 2023

I'd like to renew the B1/B2 visa before it got expired but I was afraid that the embassy going to reject it because my I-130 process and are they going to suspect me with the possibility of overstay ? the last visit to see my Husband was in March 2023 and few times before that too.

With this uncertainty on the timeline now, I kinda feel anxious not to be able to visit when the visa is about to expired too (it is easier for me to visit him vs the otherwise )

Has anyone had the experience of renewing B1/B2 while you were waiting for the I-130 ?

Thanks and God bless !

Hi!

My wife and I both filed for naturalization under the 5-year rule (she got her GC as my dependent, my employer filed under EB-2 and we got ours on the same day in 2018 - and getting interviewed on the same day too this time)

There are four types of tax transcripts that show up on my dashboard:

- Return Transcript (from 2019-2022)

- Record of Account Transcript (from 2019-2022)

- Account Transcript (from 2018-2022)

- Wage & Income Transcript (from 2013-2022)

Not sure why the discrepancy in years - also, I was not even in the country and a tax resident in 2013-2015.

The Get Transcript page recommends Return Transcript for immigration reasons, but that does not cover 5 years. And the Return Transcript actually has SSNs masked except for the last four digits. For comparison, for our mortgage our lender wanted the Wage & Income and Account transcripts instead.

Also, all transcript types except Wage & Income have my wife's redacted SSN and name also listed - so can she just use my transcripts or should she set up her own IRS online account and download hers? She only started working (part time) in 2023 - couldn't work as a dependent under H-4, then she went back to school and we had a kid.

Looking at 2022, the document lengths are

- Return Transcript: 9 pages

- Record of Account Transcript: 10 pages
- Account Transcript: 1 page (2 pages but the second is blank)

- Wage & Income Transcript: failed to be generated, file size too large -- need to submit 4506-T. I guess I'm not submitting this one

So... maybe return transcript (4 years) and record of account transcript (5 years) would suffice, and submit the same documents and print them out for my wife to bring? Our interviews are staggered by two hours so depending on how long it takes we are planning on bringing our own copies of documents just in case (luckily we have copies of our marriage certificate and our kid's birth certificate too, in case they are asked for)

Thanks!
