US Immigration from Sweden

Hello,

I've got some conflicting information and not sure what to do.
I am (70 years old) a US greencard holder (eligible for citizenship in more than 4 years) and trying to do a petition for my daughter who is 44 years old and lives in Sweden. She is divorced and has 2 children.

Due to a bad situation with her ex husband, she & I will NOT bring her 2 children (age 10 and 12) to the states. The petition will ONLY be for my daughter.

Question 1:

Can I still petition for her despite her being divorced and/or having 2 children?

Question 2:

I currently do not have any income. Can my son be solely on the affidavit of support?

Question 3:

If answer to Q 2 above is Yes, does my income need to match and be enough NOW when starting the application? Or in few years?

Thank you so much!!!

Hi all!

We are about to ship of the I-751 packet today, I have one last question that is probably the result of me overthinking it but still.

Our packet ended up being very thick as you can see in the image below so we had to use two jumbo clips to hold everything together and then we used a big rubber band to keep the two parts together.

Will USCIS look at this and think they're not part of the same application since they're separate or should the rubberband keeping them together be enough? Would it make sense to add a paper on top of the second part clarifying that it's the continuation of the evidence?

Hi all!

Sorry if these questions have been asked recently, I looked around couldn't find anything!

When we filed the I-485 application, we had to write NA on anything that wasn't applicable, is this still something we should be doing when filling out the I-751 form?

Also, do we need to include any birth certificates, passport copies etc with this application? From what I'm seeing, we don't but I would still like to confirm.

Hoping to ship it off on Monday

Hello. I have been in Sweden for 3.5 years on long-term assignment with my company. My company will move me back to the US at the end of June. My wife is Chinese, we married in Sweden, and we have a 7-month-old son. My son already has his CRBA and US passport. We have been approved for DCF with exceptional circumstances for job relocation. The I-130s have also been accepted.

In Sweden I am still employed by my home company in the US. I still get paid in the US with USD deposited in my US bank, and I will keep my same position when I return to the US. My only concern is domicile since I don t have a house or apartment in the US, and I plan on returning to the US concurrently with my wife and son.

Our household goods will be shipped to the US by sea (arranged by my employer), which will take several weeks. What I would like to do is stay in an extended stay hotel on arrival, look for a house to rent or buy during that time, and move in after our household goods arrive. However, I m afraid that this plan would be interpreted as an intent to establish domicile several weeks after arrival instead of no later than the date of the intending immigrant s admission . However, some people do live in these hotels for years. In fact, I lived in one for a couple of months before moving to Sweden, and I have its address on my driver s license. Maybe I did maintain this domicile while in Sweden since they are still in business?

Another option would be to remotely sign a short-term or month-to-month lease on an apartment. This seems like the safest option; however, it is not as flexible, and I would probably end up paying for months where I was not staying there.

And finally, it seems that the most common situation on this site is to move in with parents. However, my parents live in a different state an 11-hour drive from my employer. We could state that we will move in with them until we found a residence (I can work remote for a time), but would that short-term arrangement really be considered a domicile?

Hello,

I am currently doing an Adjustment of Status from a J1 visa to a marriage based green card. We submitted the AOS application in September 2022 and I am currently not working as I am still waiting for my EAD since my J1 visa expired in October 2022. I am getting so restless not working or doing anything with my time and was looking into doing some unpaid internships. Would this be allowed to do before I have my EAD?

I have also read a few places that if I do work, I will probably be forgiven since I am married to a US citizen, but not sure if it is worth to risk it? Anyone has experience with this??

Looks like the EAD processing time is around 10 months right now so I have another 5 months to go without working... Not sure how the USCIS expects people to not work for almost a year

Thankful for any advice!
