US Immigration from Turkey

Hey y'all has anyone had any luck contacting the Ankara embassy after being in administrative processing for 6 months?

My husband was refused a visa six months ago due to a previous deportation issue but we've been trying to contact the embassy for sometime with just radio silence... We contacted our congressman to ask for an update and even then they gave his office the wrong information and what not but not much noise otherwise.

Has anyone been able to actually get their IR1 visa after more than 6 months?

I'm really confused about when I'll be eligible for naturalization. I'm not sure if I need to wait for 5 years or if I'm good to go soon. Here is my timeline:

January 2019

• K1 application

September 2019

• K1 approved

November 2019

• US entry & marriage

January 2020

• AOS application

July 2021

• Conditional greencard

March 2023

• Divorce application

July 2023

• Permanent greencard application - applied with a waiver even though divorce was ongoing, shared divorce application documents

September 2023 -

• Divorce finalized, sent a copy of my divorce decree

In this case, will I be eligible in July 2024 or July 2026?

Thank you for your responses!

Hello, So I received this in the mail. I submitted 2 forms of I-864. Since I don't work or have any income, I made my brother the joint Sponsor for my husband. Now I want to know whose information do they need? Mine or my brothers? I personally submitted everything they ask for in the letter the first time. I don't know why they are asking for it again. Since I am unemployed I put 0 for my total income. I did not file for taxed in the last 2 years.

What should I do please?

Hi Everybody,

We will have the interview late March but wife can not (therefore kids) fulfill vaccine requirements due her religious and moral convictions. I have no problem, already fully vaccinated for Covid-19 and am willing to receive any other required vaccines during the medical exam. We will definitely file I-601 after our interview but a few questions as follows.

1- Can we file one single I-601 for my wife and kids ? Or do we need to file them separately ?

2- Do I still have a chance to get my GC after the interview as being the principal applicant ,

Thanks in advance for your kind help and have a great day ahead.

On 2/22/2024, USCIS confirmed receipt on my wife's AOS package sent to Eglin. One week later they sent an RFE:

"Based on the documents submitted, we could not determine that the petitioning sponsor on Form I-864,
Affidavit of Support, is qualified. In order to be a qualified sponsor, the petitioning sponsor's Form I-864 must
be properly completed and signed, and the supporting documents must establish that the petitioning sponsor's
income meets 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline for the sponsor s household size. See Form I-864P
for information on the Federal Poverty Guidelines."

I checked the form a thousand times. everything was filed out and signed properly. I included evidence of income for the past three years: IRS Transcripts, latest 1099 from the Social Security Disability, and a letter of benefits from the Veterans Administration indicating that my payments are permanent. My number of dependents (including my immigrant spouse and an adult disabled child NOT LIVING WITH ME, puts me a 3 people in the household, according to the worksheet. Even with her daughter coming next year (separate IR-2 petition), it would be 4 people in the household.

On Page 5, questions 24.a,b,c, I wrote down my income over the past 3 years as per my Tax Transcripts for 2020, 2021, 2022. The IRS "computer income" is a bit below the 125% HHS Poverty guidelines because it reflects the reduction "on paper" of 85% of my SSDI being tax exempt. In reality between those two income streams alone my gross income is way over 125% limit for a household with 8 people. Adding my VA compesation, however, DOUBLES my annual income and makes it leap OVER the guidelines for a household of 15 people. I clearly stated my GROSS income on Part 5 (7), and Part 6 (20), which dramatically differs from the IRS tanscript, but for which I submitted official government documentation as proof.

Having read beforehand that some veterans had problems with USCIS refusing to acknowledge VA disability compensation pay as a source of income, I included the following statements in the "Additional Information" page:

"Real Gross Income is $xx1,711/yr, $x,316/ monthly: Military retirement ($x,124); Social Security Disability ($x,990); VA Disability Compensation ($x,202). VA benefits are tax-exempt and not reflected on tax records. 85% of SSDI is tax-exempt making Total Income Per Computer on Tax Transcripts artificially low."

"IRS Tax Transcripts do not reflect VA benefits (projected $X0,424/yr for 2024) since these are tax-exempt and not reflected on tax records. 85% of SSDI is tax-exempt making Total Income Per Computer on Tax Transcripts artificially low."

So my questions are:

Are these forms machine read and therefore prone to "logic errors" or lack of context?

Do they even bother to read the "additional information" pages for context?

What new information am I supposed to send that I have not already submitted?

*Should I send a message to the officer reviewing my case via the USCIS message tool?

Of note, the letter was sent from- and must be replied to- this address. It is normal to parse out AOS packages to field offices? My assigned center was Chicago as I am in Maryland.
