US Immigration from Netherlands

Hi all,

I (US Citizen petitioner) and my spouse whom I'm sponsoring currently live together in the Netherlands where I work now. Her case is currently at the NVC phase (i-130 done and approved) waiting for us to submit the I-864, IV application, and civil documents for 'Case Complete'. I might be getting a job offer back in the US soon which might require me to move at a short notice depending on if they let me start off fully remote or not. If I get the job offer on paper, I intend to at that point submit all of the documents for my wife's Case Complete and to wait for her interview date (either at the US embassy in Seoul in her home country, or Amsterdam where we currently reside) - which I understand might take somewhere between 1-3 months.

Is it okay during this 'waiting period' for her to come with me to the US on ESTA (with a round trip ticket) and for me to explain to the border guard that I'm just simply having her in the US to support me emotionally and looking for things like our apartment together and being together whilst I start up my new job? Then, before her 3 months under the VWP is up, she will fly out to do her interview (or earlier if the interview date comes first). Would this pose any problems on her IV application and the interview?

Does any one have any experience doing this? I am terribly attached to my spouse and really wouldn't like to be away from her while i get myself set up alone in the US; i lack pretty much any other type of emotional support so if possible I'd like her to spend most of that waiting period with me physically under the VWP if possible.

Dear everyone,

Soon I am filing my AOS package from a K1 visa. I've read the instructions (I-864) about the tax transcript carefully, but i cannot quite understand which documents the USCIS will accept.

The IRS won't let my main sponsor into her IRS account, at this moment she is unable to retrieve the official IRS transcripts from year 2019+2020. The joint sponsor who makes enough money by himself to support me was able to retrieve all IRS transcripts.

As for the main sponsor; is it possible to file I-864 with 1040 + W2's? will this be sufficient evidence of income?

The difference between the actual transcript and the 1040 is somewhat unclear to me.

Please let me know if I am missing something here.

Thank you.

On the official USCIS (I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) website under 'edition date' the following is stated:

https://www.uscis.gov/i-485

03/29/21. Starting Oct. 13, 2021, we will only accept the 03/29/21 edition. Until then, you can use the 03/10/21 edition. You can find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions.

Does this mean that if a application is RECEIVED before Oct. 13th 2021 it should be accepted and then processed by the USCIS?

Thank you.

Hi!

I am applying for a CR1 visa for my wife. We both lived in the Netherlands until recently when I moved back the the USA. I saw that the USCIS really likes to see passport stamps as proof of meeting in person. However, I don't have any passport stamps because I have both a US and an Italian passport, and I use my Italian passport when entering Europe. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to include a short statement explaining why I don't have any passport stamps, or if I shouldn't worry since I have proof of residence in the Netherlands such as a housing contract and business letters. Thanks!

Hi everybody, it seems I'm getting my greencard before my work permit (I 765), I just got a notice my interview is scheduled. I dont have a social security number yet and applied for that with my I-765. Will they give me one with my greencard or will I have to apply for one at a social security office after I get my greencard? Thanks!
