US Immigration from Thailand

RFE asks

#1 a new I-864

"We are unable to process the I-864 because it has one or more deficiencies. In order for us to process your application further, you must: Submit a completed and signed Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, from the petitioning sponsor. All pages must be present and of the latest edition date. Provide the petitioning sponsor's Social Security Number on Form I-864. Provide a complete and correctly calculated household size for the petitioning sponsor on Form I-864. Submit a complete copy of the petitioning sponsor s Federal income tax return, including all supporting tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, Form 2555, and tax schedules) filed with the return, for the most recent tax year."

Is this just a stock reply as our I-864 was signed, has correct SS# ?

From what I can tell there is no new updated form. We used one expiring in 9/21 it says to just use this one.

household size

They want a complete household size. I was a bit confused on this and followed advice given here using line 8 as 2 of us. I posted about this before as I had issues with the form download already having the Part 5 line 8 set as 1 and unchangeable.. we hand input a 2 here. IT says to add up all lines 1-7 and line 1 is from line 29 and is for immigrant. line 2 is for me. If I put a 1 in the line 3 for currently married the total is 3... so the advice I got on here was to leave line 3 blank? I read about java script issues.

immigrant's name

I do think I made an error on Part 2 line 1a-1c immigrant's name.. maybe this was an autofill or my old age. I used my wife's maiden name rather than that on our marriage license. And then I put her married name on mailing address. Obviously I made a mistake, I now think it should be her new married name.?

Birth certificate

RFE asks "must submit a copy of their birth certificate issued by the appropriate civil authority in their country of birth. We will only accept a long-form birth certificate which lists at least one parent. If the document is in a foreign language, the applicant must include a full English translation along with a certification from the translator verifying that the translation is complete and accurate, and that they are competent to translate from the foreign language to English. For more information about the acceptable birth certificate for the applicant's country of birth, please visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html. Select the applicant's country of birth and review the information under the Birth, Death, Burial Certificates section."

I cant find the exact specs of the reciprocity agreement even if I use that url. We submitted what I think is a long form birth certificate including both parents name, Also a certified translation. Do I need a letter from this translation company saying they are competent?

Part 6

I seem to have left both item 21 & 22 blank and did not include a name. 21 is people listed in items 8...11.14..17 have completed an I-864

22 is do not need to complete a I-864 because they are the intending immigrant has no accompanying dependents.

I think I should check 22 and put her name in the line below?

Tax

they request a complete copy of petitioning sponsors Federal tax return for last year. I guess this is self explanatory. I submitted a transcript before... What does this signify?

Additional questions.

I didn't put in any sponsors *SCIS online acct.. not sure I had one or not.. is this optional?. I may have one as I may have had to register to send in an inquiry as to where the cast status was of our K1 visa interview.

Part 6 Sponsors employment and income.

I don't have an employer. I am self employed as a property manager and service guy. I left retired and unemployed blank.. is this correct.

My income on the tax return met the minimum and my cash assets listed far exceed 10x the minimum... I didn't even see the need to include Info about the house I fully own.

Any suggestions.

AOS was received July 29th and a few weeks later we got the received NOA with the correct 5 digit house number address.

We are lucky the USPS was able to forward us the Biometric interview dates letter as it had 6 digit house number. We just logged on USCIS yesterday to change our address and noticed we have a RFE for the I-864, IRS form, and Thailand birth certificate. I will post questions I have on those in a separate thread.

So it says we cant change our address in the profile now with these applications ongoing? it appeared we must use the online form, however our old address is correct there so I didn't think it was right to input a new same address so I cancelled out of that submittal. I sent an mail in our USCIS to tell them to fix the error where ever it may be and to send a new copy of all letters.

I guess we lost 2 more weeks of delay since we didn't log in to the USCIS. kinda sad that the system can operate like this. I wont speculate to much but perhaps intentional delays are being used.

Is our online request adequate or what should we do?

Hello everyone. From those that have had their interviews recently and got approved, what was the waiting time from issued and visa in hand? Specifically from issued to visa in hand. Or after issued what s next? Thanks guys x

Hi everyone,

My wife and I moved states to Oregon this year and originally filed in another state (Dec 2020). From our understanding, our case gets updated and put in with the Oregon Dec 2020 cases. Can anyone confirm this?

Additionally, has anyone in here in the last 3 years filed for AOS from tourist visa in Oregon? Based on the timelines it seems like it roughly takes year from filing to get an interview. I wanted to see if that is accurate from those of you who have went through this process.

Thanks!

I'm trying to enter the DV for 2023 but the site does not work. This site - https://dvprogram.state.gov/

There is no where to actually enter anything. I believe the DV is open until November 10, 2021.

I've been on hold with the DOS for almost 2 hours and don't expect any help from them.

Thanks in advance.
