US Immigration from Mexico

I don't know about you guys and I don't want to trigger anyone and not sure if this is the right place to vent but I'm doing so bad and I'm scared. Idk if my relationship can keep going if we don't get approved this year, it's beyond the willingness to keep pushing. My partner and me are autistic individuals with BPD so every goodbye from visits is worse than the previous one, the depression hits like nothing else I've felt before.

We're working on trying to get a tourist visa for me to visit her because it has been so draining for her to go through all the airport process.

Any advice would help a lot.

My sister-in-law is Mexican and lives in a border town. She is 65, retired, never been married, has her own simple apartment, a few thousand in a savings acct and receives a small social security monthly benefit. She has never had a US visa or been in the US. What will she have to have and show to qualify for a B visa for visits to our house and occasional border crossings for shopping etc ? Not much immigration info out there on older retired people. Are any of these policies changing under the new administration? Thanks!

Hello Friends.

After submitting my I-864, the CEAC website says civil documents were "ACCEPTED", and I received an email saying our application has been sent to the consulate. Unfortunately, I also received a cryptic message titled "Case FE Review Note". The gist of the note is:

• The income reported ... is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance.
• You must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as:
  • Other income
  • Assets
  • Proof of current employment
• You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview.

I am retired. My yearly income is generated from interest on my investments. I provided three years of tax transcripts that indicate my yearly income from interest and dividends well exceeds the requirements (https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p).

I assume my income from investments as shown on the income tax transcripts is not sufficient. What should I provide? Should I update my I-864 with all my asset information and upload it again along with documentation to prove my assets? Or do I just leave the I-864 as it is and send the asset documents with my spouse (applicant) to the interview?

Hi Guys,

I've tried searching for this specific request on the the RFE but could not find anything on it. I've submitted the initial package myself with guidance from other threads here on VJ. The RFE is requesting I submit "Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiance(e)" and would like to know if anyone else has seen this request before? I know we only get one shot and before I seek an opinion from an attorney, I'd like to see if our community has any insight on this. If it's simple enough, I'd like to avoid hiring an attorney since it seems like I only need to submit one piece of evidence. My assumption is that I might've filled out the initial form incorrectly hence why they are asking for it again. I should probably add that prior to receiving the RFE on Feb 6th, I received a case status update on Jan 2nd, stating that "Name was updated". I am glad to elaborate more on the situation or share my initial I-129F form if it helps determine what to submit. Thank you all in advance for your insight!

My stepdaughter (15) had a huge error in judgement and was caught with a vape at school last week. She was not arrested, but she was charged by a local PD officer at the school with possession of paraphernalia (class c misdemeanor), and even though the vape was not empty, they did not charge her with what they could have (felony possession of a controlled substance), so in that, she got extremely lucky. We will eventually get the court summons (they said March or April), and we will be seeking either immediate or deferred dismissal, after which we'll fight for expunction.

We will be submitting our paperwork for removal of conditions for my husband's, hers, and two other stepdaughters' green cards in June. Because they are his dependent children who all entered the U.S. within 90 days of their dad, my understanding is that we will only need to submit one application and list the three children on there with their A numbers. Question 20 in Part 1 of I-751 seems to only reference the applicant.

So, my questions:

1. Because she is a minor, do we need to include this information on the application? If so, where? (possibly under "Additional Information?")
2. If there is not an appropriate place to include it on the application, should we still include the documents in the package?
3. What are the chances of this affecting her permanent resident status? Could they deny the I-751 only for her based on this? (particularly thinking about the current administration)

This is a huge life lesson in actions/consequences for her, and I am not trying to skirt around anything for her. I just want to be sure that it would be required to disclose a minor's criminal history, and if so, where it makes sense to include.
