US Immigration from Russia

we are filing AOS for wife's daughter and our 3 year old grand daughter. Do we have to file duplicates of our i-864's, passports etc for the Grand daughter?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had recently taken an Oath in Vermont after N400 approval.

And if so - how quickly did you receive your ceremony date / time notice?

I realize they're being scheduled at least 1 month out right now, but just curious when I should expect to receive the notice for when the ceremony is scheduled, and how much advance notice they'll give me.

Moving back to CA early August, and wondering if I'll know my ceremony date by then...

Thank you!

We are nearly finished putting together our I-129F (K1) packet. While sitting i's and crossing t's, I came across an article mentioning disclosure of any previous USCIS applications/submissions.

As of right now, the beneficiary does not have an A-number that we are aware of. However, about 6 months ago they did submit and interview for a B-2 visitor visa which they were denied.

My questions are:

1) Is it necessary to disclose the previous B-2 denial?

2) If so, would the previous DS-160 application number be their (the beneficiary) "A-Number"? (The DS-160 application number does begin with an A, followed by 9 numbers/letters).

3) If this IS considered their A-Number, would we put this on the I-129F application in section 2 under beneficiary info?

4) if this is not their A-Number, should we still disclose the previous B-2 application and denial?

The previous denial was for 214(b): Did not establish eligibility for the visa category being applied for or overcome the presumption of being an intending immigrant.

Our preference is to be as upfront and honest as necessary. I'm just not sure if I'm overthinking it or just getting confused due to the A-Number.

Thanks in advance for any info/suggestions you have.

Hello, so I'm trying to fill out the I-864a form and I don't know how to do this. I'm sponsoring my mom's brother to come to America from the Philippines. On the i-864a, I had my wife filled it out and will provide my tax return. But for my dad, and my brother who lives with them, how do they fill it out? Because they're not my household members as they don't live with me. for the sponsor section of the form, am I suppose to fill that out? And my dad didn't make any income for the previous 3 years. How am I suppose to put that on the form?

According to the official Russian Embassy site, they are now resuming the processing of all types of visas to Russia, including tourist visas, for US citizens:

ON RESUMING VISA ISSUANCE

According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation 1745-r of June 28, 2021 the Consular Division of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the U.S.A. resumes the issuance of visa of all categories (including tourist visas).

Please be advised that the visas may be issued only for the U.S. citizens and citizens of other countries, who possess U.S. Green Cards.

Citizens of third countries, who temporarily visit the U.S.A., have to apply for Russian visas at Russian consular missions in the countries of their citizenship.

The Russian Visa Centre website seems outdated still, but the embassy info can be found here: https://washington.mid.ru/en/consular-services/citizens-usa/visa-to-russia/

This could be good news for the US Embassy in Moscow as well assuming they can get staff back and resume normal working operations.
