We just applied for K-1, are we really looking at 26 months?

We just applied for the K-1 Visa and our petition was sent to the California service center. The following video demonstrates a possible 26 month wait time for applications that are being sent right about now. The argument made in the video is that since more applications are coming in than are being processed, that the current "13.5 month" wait time for just USCIS processing is only for applications that were sent 13.5 months ago. As a forecast, considering the current ratio of applications-in vs. applications-out, this is saying that it would be another 26 months or so for anyone applying now. Does this argument make sense?

N400 - no physical letter

Hi everyone,

I got n400 interview scheduled and as I filed online I have the letter in my online account.

I did not receive anything physical. If I end up not receiving it until the interview date is it ok to just take printout from the online version? Or do they want to specifically see the physical copy they send?

basically does asking for this document to be send worth the effort?

Thanks!

Address change after getting a green card

Hello all,

My spouse has been in the US for almost 2 years now. We have moved to another apartment one time, and plan, in the future, to buy a house. I talked to an USCIS agent a year ago, and she said that address changes are not necessary for one who holds a green card.

However, this seems contradictory to what I ve read online. Also, my spouse found a Twitter post that was talking about this very topic; someone stated that ICE can become involved if address changes are not reported to USCIS. This Twitter poster stated he/she received an email from the USCIS that verified the address change.

So should I fill out an AR-11 form to update our address? The USCIS website makes it seem that this only necessary for pending cases, but now, I m not so sure.

Thank you.

How To Extend Visa Application?

Hello, I hope someone can answer my question. I am a US Citizen my Japanese spouse was approved for her IR-1 visa 3 months ago. I got the email from the National Visa Center (NVC) to upload documents and pay the fees. I haven't uploaded anything or paid the fees yet.

Our problem is that we will not be ready to move to the USA for a few years because we are expecting another child. So, I need to extend my spouse's Visa application for a few years. Does anyone know how I can do this? Any help with understanding this system would be much appreciated!

I-864 Tax Documents K-1 AOS

In a bit of a pickle.

I am working on filling out the I-864 Affidavit of Support for my spouse. We recently returned to the US on a K1 fianc visa, and have since been legally married.

Context:

I had been working and living in Japan with my spouse throughout the K1 vis process.

I am filing two I-864's. One with me as the principal sponsor and one from a joint sponsor.

My current income is insufficient, and my foreign earned income has no relevance. However, my joint sponsor makes WELL above required income.

The pickle:

I filed online for my tax transcripts for the last three years from the IRS. My transcripts show I have not filed for 2021 or 2019, and only reflect my 2020 filing. :( I really don't understand why.

I sent all my taxes via airmail from the Japan post. I am 100% positive I sent all required documents to the right address.

I have all of my 1040's and relevant documents I filed on hand, however I never had W2's as there was no equivalent in Japan. (I do have income statements in English from my employer there.)

Question:

Will attached 1040's, certificate of income from employer (however not a W2), be sufficient evidence?

My Adjusted gross income for the three years is effectively zero anyways, since all of my income was foreign earned.

My joint sponsors income statements and tax transcripts, all well over 125% poverty guidelines are in hand.

Basically, my taxes and income don't mean **** regardless, but is the lack of transcripts/record of filing as the primary sponsor grounds for a RFE?

No idea how I could work around this, as we need to submit the 485 packet within the next 30 days.
