US Immigration from Philippines

Hi all,

I am a self employed business owner. I have been for the last 5 years. My business was put on hold in March/April due to the pandemic. Since then, I have been on unemployment. I am currently working on a new business but am making very little still. I expect to grow it over the next several months. I have ~$300k in my bank/brokerage accounts and ~$80k in physical assets, and no debt whatsoever, so I am not too concerned about "public charge".

I'm not entirely sure how to answer Part 6 (Sponsor's Employment and Income).

It sounds like unemployment is counted towards income, so I will include that. I will put in the end-of-packet notes that part of my 2020 income is from unemployment and specify the amount. Additionally, I have read mixed comments on how to determine "current income". It sounds like for those who are employed, it is what they are currently making. But for self-employed, it's tricky to do so. From my understanding it would either be based on 2020 expected income or 2019 tax year income. Right now, I am planning to use expected income (which includes what I made before March and what I am making now/expected to make rest of the year (~$22k). I will also include info in the end-of-packet notes. Does this sound correct?

Also have a few other questions

1) Am I required to include my entire tax returns or only specific pages?

2) Does selling stocks count towards my income? If not, can you please provide info where it explicitly says it's not counted as income?

Thank you all.

Hi, I was browsing through the visa journey website and saw that the Vermont Service Center is currently processing cases date August 11, 2020. Is that accurate, because if you check on the website of USCIS it shows that they are still on cases dated in 2018. I just want to get a feel for what cases they are currently processing.

K1 Visa has finally been issued, now focus shifts to travel. What are the requirements for travel and are there any recommendations on airlines? Is covid testing required? Please someone with first hand current knowledge only, too much confusion caused by opinions and rumors, need the true facts. Thanks so very much.

Hello, I am outside USA right now with my Combo Card that is still valid till Feb 2021. Today, my husband received in the mail my new Combo Card (Extension) with validity of Nov 2020 to Nov 2021. Question is: Is my old Combo card still valid even after getting a new card and can I use the old card to re enter the US this December or should I have my husband send me the new card now? Thank you!
