US Immigration from Thailand

I have been been trying to print the I-129F application but no matter what printer setting I use

it cuts off the bottom black bar as well as the barcode. Did anyone else have this issue and

find a way around it?

Ok so now after 15 months you you have your K1 fianc e in the USA .

What health insurance do you get?

I checked quote on Geo blue and its 450$/mo 3 month "minimum" for a 5k deductible plan. There are other deductibles to Choose.

I am not sure but I assume once we marry she will be eligible for open enrolment in the ACA.

I currently use the ACA system.

No problem to maintain 125% of poverty level income but will using the ACA effect her green card eligibility?

I have read that the new administration has cancelled the last admins rules on public charge so the 1999 rule is now in effect. I have only briefly read some of the 1999 rules but I could use some help clarifying things

Yes I should have researched this all before I fell in love I know so save those comments for your dog

I have read that after you file you C-130 for the CR1/IR1, you can file for a K-3 Non-Immigrant Spouse visa to shorten the time for them to come here. Has anyone here done that or has anyone else heard of doing that. For me it doesn't matter as my wife and daughter's interviews are on the 5th. But if this is a method to get a spouse here sooner we should all do it. If you have done it or know someone who has I would love to hear from you.

Thanks,

Hi, so I am the beneficiary and my sponsor is supposed to be my fiance. My fiance runs his own business slash social enterprise (LLC) and sales was hit quite bad by COVID. It was already in debt before because it's only a few years old. Anyway, his tax consultant did the figures and he just told me that his adjusted gross income is -26,000. Our lawyer in the US thinks that we should just file a joint sponsor and it will be fine. My fiance concurs.

We have come so far, though, and I have also read that some consulates don't allow for joint sponsors for the K1. Mind you, I'm not a Thai national but am a foreigner working here so I don't know if they might take my nationality and job prospects into account. We do have savings, but our savings doesn't amount to 5 x 22000 = $ 110,000 to prove. Much less so if it has to cover the -26,000.

We are both in our 30s and he has a Master's while I'm working on mine so I am hoping that will also show that I am not going to be a public charge (although with the new administration, I'm not quite sure how that works.) Has anyone used a joint sponsor for the Bangkok consulate? Should we just try to borrow some money from family as an early inheritance thing in order to make our cash assets work?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have read through many old posts but haven't found quite what I am looking for... please advise.

Entered on K1 in late 2016. Married in early 2017. Turned out to be a difficult marriage, USC wife had told many lies. Filed I-751 in late 2019 at the time of filing found out that spouse was not filing taxes jointly and some other hurtful things were revealed. I-751 was filed jointly. From then until March 2020 marriage continued to deteriorate and Mar 2020 separated. Nothing was formalized legally. Spouse didn't want to do paperwork. Everything was so backed up with USCIS didn't really think about the separation and the pending application at the time. NOW- end of April 2021 called USCIS to get update and found out an interview is scheduled for May 24, 2021 (notification had been mailed to spouse who decided maliciously not to pass it on). (ex)Spouse is just now agreeing to drafting divorce papers. Nothing has been filed or finalized yet. (ex)Spouse refuses to attend interview.

Based on what I have gathered so far what needs to be done is that a new I-751 needs to be filed as an amendment with a cover letter explaining the situation and sent to the field office where the interview is scheduled (Chicago). Is this correct? Is the waiver filled out on the basis of divorce although the divorce hasn't even been filed for let alone finalized? What should the cover letter say? What evidence should be included in this amendment?

Then the immigrant should plan to attend the interview (alone) scheduled for May 24th. What should be prepared for the interview? There is evidence of the marriage being bona fide, there are also text messages about the toxic situation from (ex)spouse, there is also a video of (ex)spouse suggesting immigrant file taxes as single to get more money. Should any of this be prepared? Should the initial draft of divorce papers be prepared? Should any affidavits or anything like that be prepared? Unfortunately there isn't much time to put much preparation.

PS my post and timeline don't match up because I am posting on behalf of a dear friend who is so distraught that they cannot navigate all of this right now.
