US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hello everyone,

My wife (US citizen) and I (J1 visa without 2 year requirement) have moved from the UK in April of this year. We initially moved to the US because of job opportunities which was meant to be for 2 years and then go back to Europe after that. Now we are thinking of staying in the US.

From our understanding, we would be eligible for adjustment of status. I wanted to ask when to apply for AOS, and how to justify the AOS while on a J1 visa.

We are wondering if we should get a lawyer to help with this. We previously did a spousal visa for my wife in the UK without any issues. That involved showing evidence of relationship (5 years of joint lease and joint bank accounts in the UK, pictures together, paying council tax together). Our only concern is that we do not have much history in the US. We have a joint bank account, we have a joint lease, and we are the beneficiaries of our life insurance policies. Would the evidence from the UK still count, or is it US specific only.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looking for a bit of advice, have recieved my DQ notice but an additional FE notice which from searching this site is pretty standard.

'The income reported as stated on form I-864, I-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted.

A consular officer will decide if you meet these requirements at the time of the interview. Note: You, as the sponsor, and any other sponsors household members and joint sponsors, must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as:

* Other income * Assets * Proof of current employment Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center CEAC. You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview.'

So advice I need is on the situation: my partners previous 3 tax returns fell just short (around 6k over the course of 3 years in total) but this year due to a promotion in January she has an expected income of $30k (she is hourly so month to month can vary). We previously submitted her paystubs, a letter from her employer confirming the new role and another letter confirming an expected approx gross salary by the end of the year.

As per the notice we have recieved we are going to add in further payslips, will this be enough to prove current income to the CO officer? Would there be anything else recommended?

We are not in a situation to get a joint sponsor, however we are in a situation where she has over 30k in cash, and I have over 200k liquid assets in the UK. Do we complicate things by inserting these at this point as I know all advice always says rely on income first? Or do we upload evidence of this now as a back up? Bring it with me to the interview instead? I just don't want to delay the situation any further and its hard to know what the right avenue is.

Hi! Not sure I am posting in the correct area! I am in the car while my hubby drives us to Uscis in Centennial Colorado for our Green card interview

We have documents etc and I wonder what questions they ask?

i searched old threads but had no luck! Appointment at 11 wish me luck!

Ir1 visa application. Married since 2016. Interview scheduled for Nov 25.

through the document collating as part of the AOS we recognised that my wife (sponsor) has been (always has pre and post marriage) filing as single tax payer we now know she should have been filing MFS. She is well above min poverty wage.

Since recognising this we have submitted form 1040-x to amend status to MFS for the past 3 years (22, 23 and 24) Amended tax returns will not be published for 16 weeks so we only have the forms we submitted and screen shots of the amendment status from her IRS portal.

what should we do in this situation? Ie should we upload to NVC or just take docs with me to interview? Is it likely to be an issue or given the action we have taken is it likely to be of concern to CO?

appreciate any advice in advance.

Hello

I submitted the I-130 for my spouse's F2A visa in April, with the evidence of bona fide marriage we had at the time.

My spouse then submitted the I-485 adjustment of status in September, with a significant amount of additional evidence of bona fide marriage.

Will that additional evidence submitted in Sep automatically get considered by USCIS for the I130 approval?

If not, what's the best way to add that to the existing I130? Should I print and mail to USCIS with a cover letter explaining this is additional evidence for an existing I130?

Thanks so much
