US Immigration from Netherlands

Hey folks,

This year we decided to rent out the home I own in my home country. Tax season is upon us, and now we have no idea how to file our taxes correctly as I have two incomes (here and overseas). Also, my husband is a server and things have changed for him too. We don't know what is our best course of action. Do you guys have any advice?

I-130 was approved recently. I am currently on medical leave (employed, but on leave; exhausted FMLA protected leave though). I am getting short-term disability payments and they have been approved for a few more months from now. Unclear whether or not yet I'll have a job to go back to but so far I am still an employee on leave.

Disability payments are well above threshold (as is my normal income at this employer). Previous tax return income going back many years is well above threshold.

Should I wait until returning to wage (job based) income before submitting the affidavit of support? Or are the short-term disability payments and the fact that I am still (for now) an employee on leave enough to proceed with the affidavit of support?

Alternately asked, would it be "safer" to wait until I'm back working full time, or would it not make a difference?

Thanks.

Hi y all,

Yesterday I finally got reunited with my fianc (yay!) The poe was Washington DC, while the process smooth and calm (especially since there was really no line)

But here comes the issue, while I was waiting for my connecting flight I checked CBP link to make sure my I-94 was entered. Which it was but it showed December 3 instead of March 3. My stamp in the passport definitely shows 3/3/2026.

So my fianc and I decided to visit the closest Deferred Inspection Site since they only accept visits. While we were gathering the evidence we went to the website instead of the CBP link app. Where we found out that on the website it does show the correct I-94 entry date.

We are still going tomorrow to make sure there will arise no issues, but I was just wondering if anyone else dealt with this before?

Thanks!

Good afternoon!

My ex-husband and I filed the I-751 together in July 2023 and it's been pending ever since. Things didn't work out as our goals in life just changed too much, and we filed for divorce on good terms with no children in November 2024, which was finalized in April 2025.

The day I received the divorce degree, I immediately sent a letter with an official copy of the degree to the USCIS to notify them that I would like to change my case to a divorce waiver. I spoke to them on the phone after my USPS tracking indicated that it'd been delivered, just to make sure, and they confirmed that they received the documents.

My 5 year mark is coming up and I'll be able to apply early for N400 in July, meanwhile my I-751 is still pending and no action has been taken since receiving the original receipt + extension letter. I'm hoping for my I-751 to be pushed once I file for N400 like a lot of cases I've seen here, but my concern is that I haven't heard anything back from USCIS regarding my I-751 (no RFE either), and I don't want my I-751 to be potentially approved as a marriage-based case instead of a divorce waiver.

Should I be safe since the USCIS themselves did confirm that they received my request to change to a divorce waiver by mail and is this just something that will be brought up in the interview, or is it safer for me to wait to file N400 until after my I-751 is approved so I can be sure it was approved on basis of divorce?

I hope my question isn't too confusing!

Hi y'all, today I had my interview.

Everything seemed to be going well, the consulate kept my passport but told me that me and my fiance need to look for a health insurance plan for the beneficiary. With the received email stating "Please email us a prospective private health insurance plan for the BEN"

I was wondering if anyone had the same experience and how long it took for them to get solved? CO told me we don't have to buy anything but look for one. Does that mean sending them an insurance plan that fits us will be enough?

Thank you so much for all the help
