US Immigration from Poland

Hi everyone,

I'm very close to send out I-130 and there are some things that are still troubling me even though I've tried to find some answers online.

1. Me and my wife are a fresh marriage, soon after graduating university and as I looked at the list of possible evidences of bonafide marriage that is necessary to be proved on I-130, the only one we can show is the mutual bank and saving account we have for some time already. We don't have children, mutual property, we don't rent any apartment as we live temporarily in my wife's parents house so no official lease in this case. I've read that some people attach photos from a few years span from some trips they were together with short adnotians to each one of them as a proof of a bonafide marriage. Could that help in our case since we have a trouble providing evidences from the official list?

2. When filling I-130, it was quite obvious that use of polish letters like , , , etc. is prohibited as the website does not accept them in any field. There is only a possibility to attach pdf with originally written names and addresses in the further part of the form. However, when we were filling I-130A, the pdf accepted polish letters to be typed so I wonder what should we do. Should we keep it in only roman letters typed, or should we use the form that is proper in our language?

3. I wasn't inquired about payment for I-130 yet, but I believe that I will be when I'll reach Review and Submit part of the form. I'm located in Poland for many years and I have no ties with US so no domicile as well for sure. I have only my polish credit card and transferwise account with american bank account. I know that during starting from NVC stage, all the payments are required to be US originated, so no european credit cards allowed, etc. but I wonder if I'll be able to make a payment of $535 for I-130 with what I have right now(I'll move to US before sending out AOS package)

4. I have the last question that goes beyond I-130 stage. Could it work, if after NVC received our case, I would move to US alone, start a job that would make my expected income sufficient for a 2-person household(like starting the job in July, so e.g. 6 months X $5000 = $30k annual income to be entered in I-864) and sending AOS package like the next day I start my job. I was just wondering, how long would I need to be employed to use the salary that will be put on my employment contract on my I-864 form. It's obvious that the shortest the period away from my wife which will be waiting for the interview in Poland, the better. I was just thinking that it would make the process the shortest. As the country of domicile I would put Poland(I believe there is a question about it in I-864) and later on embassy interview, it would be proven that I have at least intent to re-establish domicile in US since some time would surely pass between sending out I-864 and having embassy interview where domicile issue is determined.

Sorry for elaborating so much, I have a problem with keeping my questions short and simple and just had to be so descriptive when it comes to this CR-1 immigration topic that me and my wife will be soon going through

Hello all,

I have a question regarding k1 visa fee. I have paid for it, however i haven't received any confirmation about transaction being accepted. I can pick an interview date but im not sure about wether this fee is paid or not. How long do I have to wait for the confirmation to come to my email?

Thanks in advance

Got approved for K1 earlier this year, fiance entered and we're now married. I'm just about ready to submit the whole AOS packet for her (485, 131, 765, 864) but I haven't been able to find an adequate answer to this question. If she's allowed to be in the US for 90 days, what has to change to allow her to stay? Will they process her work authorization that quick and will that give her the authority to stay? Or do I need to file something else?

Sorry if this is confusing, seems like a donut hole you don't want to get caught in.

Hello, I'm finally after long time gathering documents for the interview and on my ds160 form i had to give information about my previous stay. I was on J1 visa and it was valid for 3 months, however i stayed one month more because this visa allows to stay 30 more days after it's expired and my question is should I put that i was previously in the states on this type of visa for 3 or 4 months? Not sure which one i should check. Thank you for information in advance

I have seen other posts about withdriving application but none of them answer my question.

I was selected for DV-2022 and I am currently residing in the US on O-1. I was a bit over-eager reading the instructions and I submitted in DS-260 in June. I should only file Adjustment of Status I-485 when my number comes up in the visa bulletin. In my electronic application it says "completed" but I haven't submitted any additional documents like photos or whatever because I don't want them to process it that way. I called USCIS office in NYC - they said it shouldn't be an issue, but I should call KCC to make sure and schedule an interview with them later - but KCC's phone is off - they direct everyone to email, and I did send an email explaining the situation. I know I should wait for their response but it takes forever and might be too late soon. I just want to make sure I am not messing anything up.

I scheduled some consultations with lawyers, but I am really not looking forward to pay $200 for someone to tell me "it's ok" or respond to my problem in one sentence. All help is greatly appreciated.
