US Immigration from New Zealand

Does where you are from have anything to do with how fast you might get your NOA2 for example?

As I've noticed some couples from Ukraine/Russia etc seem to take longer than people from New Zealand, are there different security processes for different countries?

With a K1 Visa am I better off getting a work permit with a I-765 once I arrive or just adjusting status? what is the quickest way to be able to go to college or work??

Hi All,

Trying to understand the timelines as I've heard conflicting things on citizenship based on marriage (K1 Visa).

• Husband Moved to USA on K1 Visa October 2018 and we were married the same month
• Conditional Green Card issued 11/2020

If I remember right the officer during our interview told us to apply for Naturalization mid 2021 instead of a permanent resident card with no conditions. It seems this timing would be based off the 3 year clock starting on when when he entered the USA on his K1 or when we were married. He has been in the USA the whole time with me.

Any clarification on the timing? Does the 3 year clock start when he we were married since he had the K1 Visa on his passport? Is the K1 Visa considered some sort of residence for this?

Thanks!

Hi all

Has anyone done any work remotely for an overseas company while in the USA awaiting your EAD or GC? I ve been in the USA since Nov 2019 and I was not expecting to still be waiting a year later. I have the opportunity to take an overseas based contract, working remotely. Has anyone else done this? As far as I can tell because I have been here so long I am

considered to be a US resident and will have to pay tax. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE! But anyways. Thanks for your help.

No NOA1 and it's 2 days away from being 4 weeks, is this normal at the moment?

Is it due to COVID or what other reason could it be taking almost 4 weeks cause I thought you were supposed to receive it within 2-3 weeks max?

Thanks
