US Immigration from Jordan

Hi All,

My dad has had a Green Card for less than 5 years. However, his current employer does not offer medical insurance. The State of Illinois has a new program that provides health coverage for people who are 55-64 years old which immigration status prevents them from getting regular Medicaid. Based on that program, my dad was approved, and he was issued an ID number under what is called Temporary Medicaid. I called the State this morning to ask if this affects his eligibility of becoming a citizen later on and they said no. I'd like to see if there's anyone who can advise further because sometimes State employees are not well rounded with immigration law.

Thank you!

Sam

Hello,

Our case is in Vermont, AKA the black hole of USCIS. This means many people will be getting approved and becoming DQ before us, even if our PD is earlier than theirs.

So we want to know if interviews are scheduled based on DQ or PD, given that all other variables such as (USC spouse, country of beneficiary) are the same for consular processing.

Hey guys, don't jump on the hate train! We're not planning to do that, and can't anyway.

I've been studying the immigration process very closely ever see we embarked on this journey, and I don't get it from a US point of view. If you adjust status, then you qualify for a green card, and your visa bulletin is current. It's not like you are adjusting status despite an ineligibility to do so. What kind of problems, possibly security or workload related does it create for USCIS for aliens to adjust status from a tourist visa?

I am not looking for an answer like "Well, it wouldn't be fair to the immigrants who went through consular processing." I know it isn't fair, but USCIS doesn't care about how we feel, so what's the actual reason?

We really need your advice. So here's the story..

• Husband is the USC. Our I-130 is in Vermont, and will probably get approved April 2023 or later.
• 2022 is husband's first year making qualifying income to sponsor an immigrant.
• Husband has filed his taxes previous years, but tax transcript 2022 will be our supporting document for the I-864EZ.
• Joint sponsor is not an option.

For tax year 2023, want to paper file, apply for an ITIN, and MFJ, etc. All of the above considered, 1) will that be a good decision to make, given that we'll need the tax transcript 2022 for the affidavit of support?

2) How much does it take from paper filing at the beginning of tax season until the tax transcript is ready? Will that delay the NVC stage?

Hello everyone,

I'm actually very confused about this. I don't really understand IRS documents, so bear with me...

My husband has started working in the US only a few months ago this year. Previously he worked abroad at a foreign company and didn't earn enough to have to pay income tax.

1. Now, if we move into the NVC stage as of 2022, what kind of financial documents will apply? To narrow it down, we qualify for I-864EZ.

2. He qualifies to be the sole sponsor as he makes the 125% poverty guidelines many times over. But will this being his first W2 mean we need a joint sponsor?

3. As far as I understand, a tax return (for the year of 2021) will not help us. Is that right? What should we use instead?
