US Immigration from Ukraine

Hello everyone. My fiance is coming to see me in Ukraine in a few weeks and staying with me until we get interview, but we didn't get NOA2 yet. Do I need to have an actual NOA2 letter with me at the interview? Does it have to be original or can be a copy scanned by a family and sent to us? We just don't want to cancel our plans and meet later because of that and wait for that letter. Thank you for your replies in advance

Hello everybody!

As lines finally started moving I finally got my citizenship interview and finally passed it! Got certificate, applied for passport, overall smooth sailing.

BUT! What do I do now with my Ukrainian passport now that I'm waiting for US passport? I assume I need to update records in some way ? send it back? No idea what to do and can't seem to find any information on consulate site (it isn't made in a best way).

So I was hoping anyone who went through similar step can advise me either what to do, or at least where to address my question.

Thank you so much in advance!

I hate to even bring this up, but its a concern. I've read a lot on other boards and just research in general that the person in the U.S. who is sponsoring their future spouse is potentially liable for 125% of any government assistance that immigrant may go on in the event the relationship fails for a period of 10 years or until that person is a U.S. citizen which I believe takes around 5 years minimum. Anyone have horror stories to share on this? What are the realistic chances of financial ruin for the sponsor if it doesn't work out? I just want to know the potential downside scenarios as we are getting close to the Embassy interview and then there's really no turning back as it's the final step to her approval. I believe I've been misinformed by my attorney, which is why I bring this up. The whole process has put a strain on our relationship and I'm taking a huge risk.

Hello, according to the US Embassy website in Kiev, they are still not doing routine visitor visa interviews. Does anyone have an idea as to when they might resume? My wife's mother has been wanting to come visit, but I've said it's not possible due to the informatin on their website. Is this accurate? It's such a shame, her daughter and grandson have been living in the US for over two years now and she's never had the opportunity to vist.

Thanks for any information!

Hello All,

My wife's marriage based conditional green card (and her son's) will expire this coming September. So I'm starting to refresh myself on the what to start next. I understand we need to submit I-751 and it's associated evidence. My question is about her upcoming travel this summer. She is planning to visit her family back home June-mid August. Does anyone see a potential problem with this timing? I remember being called for biometrics appointments, etc. before the initial GC interview. I've told her to go ahead and buy tickets, but after thinking about things more, I'm a little concerned something might pop up that she needs to be present for.

Thank you!
