US Immigration from Norway

Hi,

My partner and I got married in the US whilst I was here visiting on a B2 visa. We already submitted the I-130 and I-485. On the I-864 my partner's salary is a little low, but we have assets to cover it. We sent in evidence of assets (confirmation from the banks) from both join accounts, his accounts and my savings account. We didn't read the small print that they would want 12 months average assets, so we now have to submit the bank transcripts after receiving request of evidence. My assets alone are actually sufficient, and the easiest to get all the bank transcripts from. But that money is in my bank in Norway. My partner's assets alone is also sufficient on it's own, but consists of a mix of bonds and different accounts - more complicated to gather together and to calculate the 12 months average. Our joint account is less than a year old (just since February). So I wonder if anyone has any experience if it's sufficient to give evidence of only beneficiary's assets. They are in an open account, I could transfer it very quickly to the US if necessary (but I prefer keeping them in Norway because of much better interest rates). I have a statement from the bank that the account is open. And if I only send bank statements from my own account should we sent a new I-864 updating the assets calculation and removing joint and his assets since we are not sending in all the evidence to prove it? Or should we really gather all the statements from all the accounts and send those in? Thank so much for any insight.

Hi,

I have been with my partner since september 2022, and last november he proposed to me. I am Norwegian, and he is from the US. I have two kids from a previous marriage with an american, but we have always lived in Norway so they have no official ties to the US. My ex husband never filed any paperwork with the embassy, but from what I understand that is still possible (even if they want you to do this when the children are born..). If not I would just file normally, as if they are norwegian (unless that could be a problem?).

The initial plan was for him to move to Norway, but due to his job and financial situations outside my control that will take several years and not be the best timing. We are therefore considering a K1 visa so that I can go live with my kids there for a few years before we ultimately move back to Norway for good. Despite the wait being a while, it is still less than waiting for him to go to Norway, and this way we could apply and go there together.

Reading on this forum though, it might not seem like the K1 is best for us. Technically it can be fine, the plan is to homeschool my kids so I wont be working initially anyway, but from what I am reading we cannot leave before the paperwork is processed after we get married, and that might take 3-6 months. This is not ideal since my kids should be able to see our family in norway, including their father and his wife/kids. The difference in cost is not really a big deal. I know that it is possible to visit while the K1 is being processed, does this also count for the spousal visa? I read something about filing a temporary visa for this purpose, as to not

Any advice?

I am married to a US citizen and I am considering to apply online for the I 130 and sending the I 1485 by mail. I understand that I should then attach the I-130 receipt notice to the I-1485 packet. Does anybody have experience how long it takes to get the receipt notice for the I 130 when filing online?

I was hoping to be able to send the I 1485 before April 1st, but must consider sending them both together by mail if the receipt notice might take many weeks and not get to me in time. Any advice much appreciated.

We just received notice that we are DQ'd after sending in more proof of income. They say the case doesn't meet the income requirements, but we do. They asked for a joint sponsor back in November for our first round, but we don't have one. How is it possible that we're DQ'd, but they say we don't meet the requirements?

We're not sure what to do here, very frustrating.
