US Immigration from Russia

Hi everyone!

I mentioned that I made error in my N400, month later after filing I was sitting at club meeting and I reaized that I am a member on lockal flight club, so answer for "9 A. Have you ever been a member ... club, party etc." should be yes. and I should list that club.

Did enyone add such information during interview, how did it go? did they ask more information about club? did they declline you?

Hello! How many of us have filed the I-129F? Although it will 95% just be closed, was curious if it would push the I-130 faster.

Sent mine in May 4, arrived May 5.

Got the text May 16. Had a Potomac receipt number (YSC) which confirms they are being processed together at Potomac.

My wife is a 10-year GC holder. We lived in the US for 7 years before coming to Europe for an extended stay. She had no long stays outside the US prior to that - just a couple of holidays to Mexico. We've been gone 6 months, and plan on going back in another 2-3 months. We had a few reasons for the trip: we wanted to get away from the scary Covid situation in the US, because at the time Europe was doing much better. We also wanted to look for an investment property, which we've been thinking about for a long time - having a place back in Europe to rent out, and for holidays. But lockdown here sudden, long, and very strict, so we were basically just stuck in an apartment for 3 months. Now we want to have the trip we'd planned on having since that things are finally opening up.

Everything I see on official USCIS website etc. says she can be gone for up to one year, but beyond that should get a re-entry permit. So we didn't get her one. On other websites (lawyers and forums) a lot of people say it's only 6 months. I tend to believe USCIS, but what can we expect when we go back?

We're still married, and we still have the same address we've always had in the US, and will be going back to it. We'll be traveling together with our dog. We're both self-employed but online, so we have no "work" to return to. I do have family in the same town (including my elderly mother), though she doesn't.

Also, she applied for US citizenship last year but her appointment came up the same day as our flight to Europe, after we had booked and it was non-refundable. So we cancelled it and sent them a letter that she'd apply again later because she'd be away for a few months.

Based on all this, should we envision any problems going home? If so, what do we need to be prepared for and how should we handle it?

Thanks.

Hello everyone. Below is my original post of a couple of months ago and I would like to follow it up just for some clarity.

My boyfriend and I just got officially engaged and want to get married through Utah state zoom ceremony. We are together for almost 7 years, all of this time living together in China. As we want to go with CR1 the only way for us to get married is via Utah online ceremony (2 foreigners of different countries cannot get married in China, and its super complicated for us to do it abroad currently with all the travel bans and not really being able to return to China) about which I actually found out here recently.

As we are planning to do it next month, just wanted to double check with you guys, if you know more than one case of success with Utah zoom marriage and visa approval (besides the one which went super popular here Approved Spouse Visa. Zoom Marriage! - Page 4 - IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports - VisaJourney )? Is it actually 100% legal and we won't have any issues whatsoever with it during the process or in the future? As Zoom marriage is something quite new we are a bit worried about it, but really don't have other options now - except of K1, which we really really don't want to go with.

Looking forward to your advice guys and appreciate it a lot! Thank you!

Hello, I'm in the process of obtaining a K-1 visa for my fianc and have a question regarding the sponsorship requirements.

I'm currently a graduate student and don't have a job yet, so I am planning to use co-sponsorship option for my fianc . I live with my parents and my father is willing to become my co-sponsor; he makes enough to sponsor me, my fianc and himself.

So my question is: How sufficient is having a co-sponsor when I personally don't have a job? Is it relevant for them that I am a student and that's why I don't have a job yet?

I read the information that some visas are denied because of the fact that the petitioner does not have a job, even with having co-sponsors.

Most current information and personal experience are preferred. Thanks!
