US Immigration from Netherlands

Hi all,

I (petitioner) am disabled and am my mother's dependent. I am planning on using my SSDI payments for the I134, however since I was young when I started receiving them, they are not enough and I need my mother as a joint sponser. For reference, we both also live together. I understand that both my mother and I need to fill out the I134. On the form where it says to list all income contributions from yourself/dependents/others you financially support, does my mom include my payments, since I am her dependent, even though I'll be putting them on my own form? It just seemed odd to me that we will have two forms listing the same source of income and I don't want to get it wrong.

The expiration date of my Green Card is Febr 23, 2023

I filed and mailed the I-751 on Febr. 22, 2023, so one day before it expired.

USCIS received the I-751 on Febr 25, 2023.

I enclosed a letter with an explanation with the reason for the late filing.

Am I too late?

Hi all,

This question has been asked a million times, yet I find it hard to find a similar case and therefore I'd like to get it clarified for my own peace of mind.

Last year in July 2022, my wife and I filed the I-130 to start the CR1 visa procedure. My wife is US citizen and I am Dutch. My wife works in the Netherlands for a US-based company on a Dutch contract. Her company is also willing to move her. If we cannot make this happen so fast, then she can continue working on a Dutch contract. Both options resulting in her income being continued whenever we move. Either on a Dutch contract or a US contract from the same employer.

My question is, by the time we have our interview/NVC stage, what is the best way to demonstrate this? The options I am thinking of are:

If US contract is formalized before the interview:

1) Letter that her US contract will be effective as of x-date (somewhere not too long after the interview, our immigration date) + last paystub in the Netherlands

If contract is not yet formalized (I don't want to lie to the officer):

2) Letter that her contract thus income will continue on Dutch contract for this big US based employer + that the company will reform the contract to a US-based contract + last paystub in the Netherlands

Will this be sufficient? The income is conform all the rules by USCIS + we both have good education.

Thank you for reading and responding.

Hi Everyone!

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Long story short: in November, during my green card interview in Amsterdam the consular officer told me that my visa was approved (she told this to me twice). After 8 hours or so, I got an email from the embassy asking to fill out DS-5535 ASAP. My Dutch passport is still with the consulate, and it has been already over 1 month that they are doing administrative processing. I sent them an e-mail asking for a status update, however, the reply was "we'll only contact you once the AP is over, and will not reply to further inquiries anymore".

Anyone with similar experience with the DS-5535 in Amsterdam?

I've been looking into what I'd have to do to get things translated into english and someplaces say I can and others say I can't do it myself. USCIS website says that the translator that does it has to certify their

The things I'm gonna have to translate are Flight itineraries, Bank statements and confirmation emails from different places.

USCIS website says:

Quote

If you submit any documents (copies or original documents, if requested) in a foreign language, you must include a full English translation along with a certification from the translator verifying that the translation is complete and accurate, and that they are competent to translate from the foreign language to English.

Which sounds to me like anyone could potentionally do it.

So can I do this myself? Can I have my Mom do it? Do I really need to hire someone to do this?
