US Immigration from Singapore

My aged if parents want to visit me and they need documents to prove they won t overstay. They are in their early 70s and 80s so won t have any paperwork to claim they are working. I also understand that a letter of invitation is not necessary. Should I give them copies of my marriage certificate and geeen card? Should I also write a statement that I am

sponsoring their stay?

I filed I-751 in June 2020. In April 2021 I got new status message that case ready to schedule for interview as of April 2021. Today that message got updated with a new date of March 2022. Any one had similar experience?

I went to USCIS office on Feb 11 to file my fingerprints, but now it's still not updated yet. I know sometimes the website can update to "Fingerprints are taken" 1 day after the collection day, just curious what is the common timeline here.

Hi All

Does anyone have a sample text to make an election for a dual status spouse to be treated as a full year tax resident? This is from the p519;

Making the choice. You should attach a statement signed by both spouses to your joint return for the year of the choice. The statement must contain the following information. A declaration that you both qualify to make the choice and that you choose to be treated as U.S. residents for the entire tax year. The name, address, and TIN (social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN)) of each spouse. (If one spouse died, include the name and address of the person who makes the choice for the deceased spouse.)

Hi,

We have a unique problem regarding the biometrics appointment. We live in a very isolated area and we're actually closer to another state (Idaho) and 2 hours to the nearest Idaho USCIS office. When I called to reschedule my appointment, the officer who was on the line put in a note to reschedule to Idaho BUT the officer who called me to actually reschedule the appointment said that the system can only schedule to the state we're living in. Because of that, the nearest USCIS office is now 6 hours away and it's better for me to take a flight there... except the whole thing and accommodation will cost $400+.

I feel that it's just such a waste of so much time and money when the Idaho office is just there and much more convenient. To the point where I feel like changing my address to my friend's in Idaho just to get the Idaho office (I won't, of course.)

I've heard that people have done walk-ins at an earlier date, in another USCIS office. But of course, I don't have the most updated info.

Should I:

1) Just pay the $400+ and get my biometrics done

2) Call USCIS to reschedule again

3) Just do a walk-in this weekend in Idaho?

Any insight, advice appreciated, thank you!
