US Immigration from Taiwan

Does anyone know how to get ahold of someone from USCIS?

As in talk to a real person?

I have some specific questions and it seems impossible to actually talk to someone as their number just routes you to their website every time.

Web chat would also work. I know they have a web chat robot named Emma on their site but that also just routes me to pages on their website.

Got our 2 cases (spouse of US citizen, adopted son of US citizen) DQ'ed by NVC on Jan 26, but are still waiting for the interview notice. I'm assuming that because of a Chinese New Year break it's taking longer than normal. Perhaps COVID-19 is also affecting it? Anyone else in Taiwan waiting for an interview appointment right now?

All the cover letter examples I have seen are pretty much bullett point descriptions of what is included in their i-130.

For the "additional proof of marriage" (visa is for my wife) we only have pictures of our relationship. I figured I would upload maybe 8 to 10 photos and explain it in the cover letter (like a short narrative) to explain our relationship. What do you all think? Is this appropriate or is this not what the cover letters are for? We are relying on the photos because we do not have any other proof of marriage examples that are listed in the appplication (such as joint bank accounts / lease / affidevits). There is an "additional information" form (we are filing online) so maybe that would be a more appropriate spot to elaborate on the pictures.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can the forum pls confirm below? Specifically if 0 or blank makes a difference for Q3

My situation:

- K1 nonimmigrant fiance, married to US citizen petitioner

- K1 nonimmigrant fiance has no kids, US citizen petitioner has 2 kids from previous marriage

I-864 Part 5:

Q1: 1

Q2: 1

Q3: blank or zero?

Q4: 2

Q5-7: 0

Q8: 4

Thanks!

Hi

Would like advice from the forum on the proper way to respond to an RFE.

Background - AOS for K1 Fiance, married within 90 days to US citizen petitioner. Petitioner makes well over income requirements

What I submitted with the original I485 application:

- I-864:

- Sponsor SSN provided in Part 4, Q10

- Part 5 Household Size. Q1: 1, Q2: 1, Q3: 0 Q4: 2 (petitioner's 2 kids from prior marriage), Q5 - 7: 0, Q8: 4

- Part 5 Q7, Q24a - Q7 I listed my salary (well above poverty limit) and Q24a listed my AGI which is ~70k higher than Q7 salary as it includes bonuses. I chose to have this difference because I wanted Q7 to match the amount in my employer letter (which just lists my salary)

- Part 8: Signed but accidentally dated 11/29/2001 (instead of 2021)

- sponsor passport / birth cert copy

- sponsor employment letter and 2 paystubs

- sponsor 2020 federal tax return copy, w2, 1099s

Got a generic RFE (attached) asking for a completed and signed I864, incl SSN and correctly calculated household size, and income tax return (most recent year) w supporting docs

Questions for the forum:

- What did I do wrong? The only thing I can gather is that they didnt like that I misdated the I-864. I dont think I missed the SSN or miscalculated my household size. I also think it's ok for the numbers in Part 5 Q7 / Q24a to be different

- Does my proposed submission below makes sense:

- I-864. SAME as what I submitted before except I will put the correct date in the signature

- 2020 federal tax return TRANSCRIPT ONLY (downloaded from IRS website) with NO SUPPORTING DOCS. This seem so be more straightforward and less documents than providing a copy of the 2020 return with W2, 1099 etc. While the RFE doesnt ask for the transcript specifically I think this is OK - the I-864 instructions says that transcript or tax return copy is OK

- I will not provide anything else (i.e. paystubs, employer letter) because they are not explicitly requested in the RFE

- Submission method. Is it OK to submit these two documents electronically? Specifically wondering if they want the I-864 sent via mail so it can be the original (with the original signature)

Thanks in advance for the advice and feedback!
