US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi all,

I moved from the UK to the US in March this year with the K1 visa (filed for AOS in may but still waiting on EAD, travel and green card).

I have read that US citizens are required to declare foreign bank accounts totalling over 10,000. I have a few questions:

- does this apply to me for the financial year 2020

- if it applies, does it include my pension account in the UK?

- to avoid having to declare each year, I would rather just move my monies to the US (I have UK ISA, and regular saving accounts). If I do this by dec 31 2020, will I be able to avoid having to declaring bank accounts for the financial year 2021

Thanks!

So I have my interview scheduled for January 7th at the London embassy after waiting almost 9 months. I had my previous interview cancelled but my fianc had sent me the affidavit of support for it. Will this still be valid almost 9 month after the date it was filled out? Nothing has changed in the affidavit.

Hi there.

I was hoping for a little advise as I have still not received my SS card, I did tick that box to request it during the CR1 process. I have also not received my residency card which should be a 10 year card based on me moving on our 2 year marriage anniversary.

I believe I need to visit the Social Security Administration office but I am not exactly sure what I should be asking for and at the moment they are all closed but I can call them.

Can anyone offer any suggestions on this?

Kind regards, Matt

Ive tried looking this up on uscis website and cant find an answer.

I have a USCIS A-Number from my withdrawn K1 visa application. When filling out the AOS forms, is that A-Number still valid?

Hi guys,

Really helpful forum you've got here, i've learned a lot from the guides up top while i've been filling out the forms over the past few weeks. A quick question for those of you who are more seasoned in this kind of thing. My partner and I were planning to get engaged during my planned trip in March after 6 years of long distance but for obvious COVID reasons that didn't happen, so we're deciding to just be engaged via Zoom and start the visa process anyway.

Here's the kicker, she's currently a final year medical student, due to graduate and start her residency in the Spring, if we filed now we'd need a sponsor so i'm not a public charge etc etc. Her folks are happy to do so, but here's my question - given the delays that are now likely is it a more sensible move to simply wait until Spring when she's graduated and employed than apply now with the need for the extra form/evidence etc? I guess what i'm really asking is - how much extra time does the sponsor form tend to add to the process? If the answer is 'basically none' we'll just go ahead and file, if the answer is 'probably several months' then we've got a decision to make.

Thanks all!
