US Immigration from Russia

Received message from NVC through CEAC portal. Please submit every 2020 W-2/1099 form for Rick. .
Rick is retired and the co-sponsor for the beneficiary. He only gets Social Security. We already submitted the 1099 form from Social Security along with tax transcripts for the last three years. All of these items show as submitted on the CEAC portal. Rick has no W-2s. On tax transcripts they can see he is retired and only receives money from Social Security ,not a job.
Why are they asking us to submit every 2020 W-2/1099 . When we already submitted everything ??
Please any help is so appreciated!

I've been dating a Russian lady, age 48, for a little over a year. We've met 3 times in the past 8 months, once in Greece, once in the Dominican Republic and I recently visited her in Russia.

We would like to get her a Visa so she can visit me in the U.S. I've read the other threads and I understand the challenge getting an interview appointment in Warsaw. We will have to deal with that.

My question in this thread is about what we can do to increase her chances of getting approval for a visa. She has contacted an agency that assists Russian citizens to get approved for a US B1/B2 visa and they tell her, her chances are only 50%, which is a bit worrisome.

I've read here that the main concern from the US officials is that my girl won't return to Russia. I've read that it helps her case if she has a strong tie to Russia. To that question, she has a 10 year old daughter who she has primary custody of. She has a business in Russia where she teaches English to children and young adults. She owns her flat and a country cottage. She has a good income and can pay her own expenses to visit me. She paid her own expenses when she traveled to Greece and to the Dominican Republic. She is definitely not staying in the U.S, but she would like to visit me for a few weeks.

She was told by the agency that the following factors hurt her case: 1) she is visiting a man 2) "her job" 3) her age

Does anyone know why those factors hurt her chances of success?

This agency does specialize in tourist visas and by all appearances is active.

Any advice and/or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

My wife had submitted her I-751 form last week in hopes of attaining her IR-1 green card. When we were married, her maiden name was put on the marriage certificate due to local ordinance. Therefore, when I applied for her CR-1 visa, I had to put this name on the application. She would like to change her surname to match mine. Is there a process or form by which we could do this in conjunction with her I-751? Any help is appreciated.

N-400 filed (5yr)

Back in 2005, I got a fine in city of Philadelphia for putting the trash out 45 minutes before the allotted time. I paid it promptly ($25) and forgot about it.

When filing for a GC, I asked my lawyer if I need to mention it. He said "You do". I mentioned it an I-485, got no RFEs, got approved without an interview (EB-2).

Now, when filing N-400 I mentioned this minor fine at where you have to mention all the criminal record.

Now, I realized I have no documentation whatsoever for this fine.
I threw away original citation (was stupid back then).

I paid by the check, just called my bank they have discarded check copies long ago.

I called City of Philadelphia Street's department, and they do not have any violation reported on that date on this or neighboring blocks.

When I asked the clerk over the phone as whether they can give me a certified answer that no records are available, they said "they do not think it is possible"
Only "document" that I have is a photocopy of my hand-written check registry with the date and the check payed to "City of Philadelphia"

What do I do? How do I document it for the naturalization interview? Besides this one, I have just 2 minor traffic tickets from long ago - 1 paid and 1 dismissed. Am I sweating too much?

Hello all, It's been a minute since I've posted a message but I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy.

I just was starting to look into this paperwork for the removal of conditions for my wifes greencard. When we went through the entire process before with her K1 then AOS we never changed her last name because of how confusing all the process was. But now we are looking into it and it seems it will be cheaper just changing her last name during the Removal of conditions process.

My question is, do we change her last name legally through the state of Alabama first. Meaning drivers license change etc. Then file the I-751 with her new last name. Or do we file it under her maiden name and also submit the i90 form? I'm a bit confused on this but I'm sure it's not the first time this has happened to someone. I appreciate the help!
