US Immigration from Japan

Hi I just got a notice from the NYC local office stating that I have to appear for an I751 initial interview in May.

I've already received a 10 year green card in June 2020 so I'm really confused?

The USCIS case status states that they delivered the new card on June 24, 2020, which I received around that time.

I'm so confused about this notice. Should I go to the interview despite of having the 10 year green card?

1/22/18: USCIS office received I751 application

1/23/18: NOA for I751 receipt

8/6/18: NOA for I551 12 month extension

4/19/19: RFE for insufficient evidence. Required to submit evidence by 7/15/19

6/xx/19: Evidence submitted

8/14/19: NOA for case transfer to National Benefits Center in Lee's Summit

6/10/20: Approve notice for I751

6/11/20: NOA for I551 18 month extension

6/xx/20: 10 year green card received (Expires on 6/10/2030)

4/19/21: Request to appear for initial interview at the NYC federal plaza

So from what I can gather in my limited research is that the I-130 applications is streamlined and pretty simple to what it maybe have previously been. It seems we do the application online and when its approved the stepchild is eligible for the visa. Am I right in thinking this? Is there still an interview thats required? Being 13 does he still need to go through the CFO? Any answers and help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hello Everyone,

We are currently have had our 129F approved and are now preparing for the interview, but we only now realized we made a mistake about the City my fianc e was born in. So on her birth certificate she will be bringing to the interview it has a slightly different birth City than our 129F.

Should we be concerned? Should we try to correct it before the interview, or wait to explain it in the interview?

Also for the DS-160, should we then match her birth certificate (correct city) or match what we originally put on the 129F?

Thank you for any advice!

Hello everyone! I seem to be in a bit of a unique situation about the I-134 we are preparing for the interview.

I am currently working in Japan, which is my Fianc e's country, so I haven't had any income go to my US bank account in close to a year. I am not sure how I should reflect this on the I-134.

• Should I use my Japan bank information, or still use my US bank account information and try to have her explain the situation in the interview?
• Also my current job is contract based, and renews every 3 months, so I wonder if that may be a point against me as well?
• If I can prove I have a certain amount of cash/investments in the US would that be enough to 'pass' the I-134 check on it's own? - do we know a rough number?

Should I get a joint sponsor in this case? If so then my obvious choice would be my parents, but they are retired - is a steady monthly income required to 'pass'?

Thank you in advance to anyone that may have advice!

I realized a couple weeks ago that we do not have the original birth certificate (a copy of which sent with the AOS application). It is not a birth certificate, but rather the foreign document that the State Dept deems equivalent.

I can t recall, but we either misplaced it while moving, or the copy was submitted was a scan that my spouse s mother sent us via email. Either way, she could not find it either.

It took time for her to go to the government office and get new one reissued. She mailed the new one to us with the fastest service, but it still has not arrived. It appears to have left my spouse s home country and USPS has yet to receive it. We have less than a week left until the interview. We will also have to have it re-translated as I assume certain items in the document will have changed from the initial one submitted (date of issue, etc).

What happens if it doesn t arrive in time for our AOS interview and they ask to see it?
