US Immigration from Kazakhstan

Hello everyone! I read a lot of topics and comments here. They're very helpful. Didn't find much information about this small detail, so hope you'll help me.

We received our NOA2 in the mailbox on Dec.12 (idk what took them so long to send it, cuz the date of approval is Dec. 1) It says that our case will be at NVC from now and we would get case number. Question is how we'll receive this case number? Email or actual letter? Found some comments that people called them to get this number. And after we get it, where can we track the case progress?

Starting a December 2023 ROC thread. Please share your progress and your timeline.

Hi Folks,

I am about to step in tax filing season for the year 2022, but I am not sure which status i have to be. I sponsored a green card to my parent, who came to on Late July. Due to the senior age, she did not work entire year and relied on my income. According to IRS portal, dependent should live with you more than 6 months to file as a head of household. Turbo tax software asked basic questions such as who and how many months lived with you till December 31 and it seems I am qualified for a head of household, but I want to confirm with those who faced the situation like mine.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I am sponsoring an IR/CR-1.

I am wondering how the 1-year petition completion application rule is enforced at NVC. My case was received by NVC on February 20th, 2022 and I received an email from them on March 15th, 2022 with the bill to pay. I paid the two fees the same day. I have not formally submitted any document since then due to various circumstances. But, I have been logging onto CEAC and was working on the DS-260 recently.

Does this mean that the petition will expire on March 15th 2023, since that is a year since I made my account? Or does the 1-year timer restart every time I login to CEAC. Or do I have to submit the DS-260 to restart the timer, or do I have to have all documents (DS-260, civil documents, AOS) submitted in CEAC?

Thanks for your help?

Hi folks,

I sponsored my mom's green card and she is expected to be coming in July. I live in California and medical insurance is a must for all residents. I was checking basic plans for her (she is 62) and prices start from $700 per month, which definitely i won't be able to afford and most likely I want to lean towards medicaid. Also, i checked public charge guideline for sponsors and it looks like non-cash federal assistance is not longer part of the public charge. Can you guys confirm it if anyone encountered with this matter?
