US Immigration from Ukraine

Hey everyone,

My wife finally had her cr1 interview in Kyiv yesterday. The consular officer told my wife that everything went well but that we didn't upload the i864a on the ceac website. So we were handed the 221g to do so. The thing is my wife had the original document in her hand and they didn't ask for it and I had already uploaded the document to the ceac website but under the I-864 tab for the joint sponsor. My wife while walking out handed the original 1864a document to the security guard and it was confirmed by the consular officer by e-mail to me that she received it. I then uploaded the I-864a document to the ceac in the correct tab.

However it got me worrying more. My wife gave birth a week before the interview and we did not update the I864 documents to add my kid as my dependent. However the consular officers didn't ask for any of the i864 documents while she was there and didn't even look at any of her original paperwork. Am I wrong to be paranoid that they will probably ask us to send an updated I864 eventually? I only worry because my tourist visa won't last that long for me to wait here and traveling with covid is tough due to flights possibly not letting you transfer through.

Has anybody else been in a similar situation?

Good evening:

My mother-in-law will be filing her I 485 shortly on a family based application. She will be adjusting status in the US. I had a question on the EAD. If she babysits our child, and is paid for it, do we need to file an I765? Annualized, it would be less than the IRS requirement to file a tax return.

Thank you

Anybody have experience with *possible* expired visa? Situation:

Visa approved now - expiration April 2021...i know it's 6 months from now but looking for info

Trying to get her on a flight hopefully before December but people talking about country is going back into lockdown including Public transportation and Flights.

What if Covid shuts everything down passed April?

1. Do we have to start the process over again?

2. is there some special form we have to fill out and go back through the embassy and interview process to get it extended? Is it difficult?

3. does she have to do another medical Exam?

Thank you!

Greetings fellow sufferers. Its been quite some time since I last checked in.

Ok, here we go...

Our package was sent to Kyiv in Jan (2020) and in Feb/Mar received the email that the interview was scheduled for mid July.

PROBLEM: We were In So. Africa visiting our daughter, due to return the end of Apr. THEN they locked us down end of Mar.

So, we had to cancel the interview and told that I had to reschedule online or through the Consulate call center. Call center was useless, she only gave me the email that told me to call in. We finally escaped the end of July and I've been hitting the same wall ever since I got back to Maine.

So, I've been trying to get on the scheduling page only to get a lot of "No appointments are available at this time" then a couple of months ago it changed to a page loading error. Feedback emails have not resolved anything.

Does anyone know (actually know) what's going on in Kyiv?

I can't find anything on the Kyiv Consulate site (ustraveldocs) that says whether they're interviewing at all right now.

Thanks,

Tim

My question is in February it will be one year that we received our EAD card ! What do after this point if we had no interview ?
