US Immigration from Netherlands

Hi there.

i have trouble filling in part 3, question 38

it s about if the sponsor intends to make specific contributions.
in my opinion it should be left blank since it s a k1 visa. And the beneficiant is dependent on the sponsor

Hello,

I received an RFE this week for documents that I have already sent with my initial AOS package.

I am the petitioner, and they are asking me for proof that I am a US citizen. They want me to include either a picture of my passport or my birth certificate. When submitting my initial AOS, I included a picture of my passport.

They are also asking me for my wifes birth certificate, which was included in the package and has dutch/english side by side, so it is translated as requested.

And finally they are asking for our marriage license, which we also included a certified copy of in our AOS package.

I'm very confused - did the package potentially get destroyed mid delivery and they don't have all of our files or are they asking for something different than what I already submitted?

Is there a phone number I can dial to contact somebody working my case or should I just resubmit the documents they want (that were already submitted originally?) Fortunately, it looks like I can submit the files via the webpage so I'm hoping I can just PDF the files and attach them that way..

Thank you

Hi there,

Finally after months I'm finally preparing all my paperwork for my K1 interview.

Being as nervous as I can be, I feel unsure about the proof of financial support.

My fiancee has sent me her tax returns, and she appears to be $600 short of the 125% poverty line, this has a reason.

She moved back to the USA from New Zealand(where we met) at the end of may 2020. started working after. which means she only worked 6months during 2020.

She had a good job and was making well above the 125%

She started a new job the beginning of November where she will make even more.

I currently have the tax return of 2020, last paystub from her last job. offer letter from her new job, paystub from her new job

will that be sufficient?

Dear everyone,

Unexpectedly, but very nice, I have received an invitation of the USCIS office to attend my AOS interview only 3 months after filing (K1 to AOS). The letter states the following about I-693:

You must bring the following

'If required, a completed Form-I693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, and/or vaccination supplement in a sealed envelope (unless already submitted). Please see the Form I-693 Instructions for guidance on whether you need a complete medical examination, an updated vaccine supplement only, or neither.'

In June 2021 I have completed my overseas medical and submitted my DS-3025 (with all required vaccinations ticked off) together with my I-485 application. I understand that if AOS is filed within 1 year of my overseas medical, than getting the I-693 is not required. I have not received any RFE regarding the medical. BUT, since October 1st 2021 the vaccination requirements has changed and the COVID vaccination is added to the list. Yet at the time it was not a requirement and is therefore not present on my DS-3025. I have read through the instructions and all I can find is this;

'Even if a new medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original overseas medical examination report, you will need to have the Part 10. Vaccination Record completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you must submit Parts 1. - 5., 7., and 10. of Form I-693.'

The DS-3025 was properly completed, but the USCIS has gotten a new requirement in between my completed medical and the interview, but it is within the validity period of the medical.

Does anyone have any experience on how the USCIS will go about this?

Does anyone know if a new medical OR an updated vaccination record is required before the interview?

Thank you, all help is appreciated.

TL;DR: Will I be able to immediately perform work as a self-employed person after I enter the US on a IR-1 visa, working for a non-US contractor?

I'm likely receiving my IR-1 visa by the end of the month and my wife and I are looking to move to the US soon afterwards. I think I understand that if you want to work for a US-based employer, you need to have a green card, the application of which can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months if I understood it correctly. In my case, I will not have a US-based employer, I will be self-employed, doing contracting work for a non-US company.
