US Immigration from United Kingdom

Can anyone help me understand the situation below to me, please?

My mum (UK citizen) and her husband (also UK citizen) just tried to fly from Dubai to the US to visit my husband and me for 5 weeks. My mum visited us in June 2019 for 2 weeks on an ESTA. She has been in and out of the UK in the interim, travelling back and forth from Dubai where her husband works. They finally decided to come visit us this year because travel between the US and Dubai is open and she s been there for well over the 14 days requirement from travel from Schengen countries.

She s just been told that she will not be allowed to fly and will have to go to the consulate to ask for an exemption to do so who knows when that will be approved. Apparently it s something to do with her visiting the US directly from the UK back in June 2019 even though that was on an old ESTA (and quite irrelevant to this trip in my mind) and even though she is allowed to travel to the US from Dubai. Her husband was apparently allowed to fly (but he won t without her). His recent travel history to the US was for our wedding in October 2018 but it was directly from Dubai to LAX.

Can anyone make sense of this or might it be a case of bad luck and the embassy (whom the airline called) being pedantic?

Would appreciate any thoughts you might have.

Hi all,

I have my citizenship interview soon and as part of my application I submit a judgement of divorce. It's a 3 page document titled 'certification' signed by the county clerk followed by two pages of information and then stamped 'JUDGEMENT OF DIVORCE'.

Is this document the same as a divorce certificate? For some reason I couldn't find anything else in my files.

I know they might look different in every state, so in case this is useful to know, this is from Brooklyn NY.

Thank you.

So today we got a Case FE Review Note from the NVC after submitting all our documents for a CR1 visa and waiting around 6 weeks, it said the following:

Quote

Please submit every 2020 W-2/1099 form for *PETITIONERS NAME*.

The thing which is confusing us is that we already submitted her 2020 1099 and it is marked as accepted. So we have no idea what to do now.

Can anyone help? We have tried phoning the NVC today, but couldn't get through (all operators are busy, then they hang up...).

Some further info which might help: The petitioner (my wife) works for an online English school which is based in China, but also have a US office address, which is the address they listed on the 1099. Could this be the reason for the case note? Maybe they think that she works for a US company and therefore they expect a W2? When in fact it is a Chinese company and they will only issue a single 1099 MISC.

Is there something else we are missing here? Does anybody have any idea what this case note means in this situation? The use of the word 'every' kind of makes it seem like they are expecting multiple documents but she is a contracted worker so should only have a single 1099 per year right?

Hi,

We are using my sister in law as a joint sponsor, and she satisfies the financial requirements no problem. She files her taxes jointly with her husband, but we're not using her husbands finances as the joint sponsor. Though as they filed taxes as a married couple, does he need to fill out any forms? Like a I-864A etc? Or does she need to provide any other information with her I-864, like a W2 or anything?

Many thanks,

Keith

Hi,

Looking to submit the AOS this week for my IR-1 application. My wife, who is the petitioner, currently lives and works with me here in the UK, though has domicile in the US. We're using a joint sponsor who's income more than satisfies the financial requirement. I understand that my wife still has to fill out the I-864 as she is the main sponsor, though since she earns her income here in the UK, her income doesn't qualify (hence, why we have the joint sponsor in the states). What I'm really wondering then, is how she is to fill out Part 6 of the I-864 form? Does she include her current individual, annual income and convert to dollars? Or leave this blank? And does she need to include financial documents like tax returns, bank statements etc?

Thanks,

Keith
