US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hey all, so I've been using the great resource that is visajourney to progress through my DCF application in London and am at the final step now of interview and I-864 submission. And just have a couple of questions that I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer on if anyone is able to shed some light.

Essentially my petitioner/sponsor is Self-Employed, and we have hopefully sorted out all the evidence to show income for that: tax transcripts, full returns including schedule C, bank statements for the last 12 months etc. But wondered what we can put for the current income line. Lots of advice seem to suggest using the previous complete years tax return total income as the current income as its the easiest to prove for self employed sponsors, however frustratingly that is slightly under the poverty line for us. Whereas the current income now and going forward would easily satisfy that. We have a 1099 for 2023 that shows this increased income, as a lot of the self employment work happens in the US, but not yet a completed return. Would this 1099 and a letter explaining the expected income now and going forward satisfy the current income figure being higher than that of previous returns? Or should we just make up the difference in assets (which we have enough of to satisfy without any income), and leave the current income as the latest tax return figure.

My other question is that as we are both currently residing in the UK, hence the DCF application, what should we put as country of domicile. (Part 4 Question 5) We have the required evidence to show intent to reestablish domicile in the US with things like US addressed bank statements, recently renewed state driving license, voting records, letter from parents saying we will live with them. But obviously we currently do not reside in the US and haven't for 10 years, but it is where we plan to reside for the foreseeable future, and the instructions seem to suggest you must answer the US and explain why only your place of residence is different. I am just slightly confused about the correct way to answer this, especially as we are progressing with a DCF application which requires being domiciled abroad to apply for. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Is anyone waiting for a judge oath ceremony or had one recently? Trying to get an idea how long they're taking.

Had my interview and passed January 4th.

Could someone help me decipher this?
We were on a waitlist for a tier two officer and unfortunately they sent an email instead and we are not satisfied with the response.

We had 3 Document returned status updates in January alone. The last time we filled out an e-request form was beginning of January (so we are confused about why they are referencing the first attempt to retrieve the document and not the latest attempt) AND they still haven t told us that our petition will be processed despite having an undeliverable document there. That s all we want to know. That we don t have to request that document again and we can just leave it there and still be processed even though it says they will destroy our petition by July if we don t take action.

We also don t even have a my inbox on our USCIS account so that s a load of rubbish.

We just don t trust this email
Advice please? Should we call again or just leave it and if we haven t heard anything by july just do an erequest again?

We are August filers so we should hear back in the next two months

I received the official notice yesterday that my I-751 (removal of conditions) has been approved (after almost a 3 year wait!). However, the 10-year Green Card has not yet shipped, and I have international travel planned for next week (February 16th). The notice explicitly advises against travelling internationally until I have received the physical Green Card, which is unlikely before my travel date.

I contacted USCIS and have scheduled an in-person appointment to request an ADIT stamp on Tuesday. However, the USCIS Officer on the phone told me it would be entirely their discretion whether to grant it or not.

Does anyone have experience with this they can share? My travel is not technically an emergency (i.e. family health crisis etc.) but has been planned since September and is my only opportunity to see my family in a long time - and it is too close to the dates to reschedule. Does USCIS usually grant ADIT stamps in cases like these? If they refuse to grant it for some reason, would I be able to travel with my I-751 NoA and expired 2-year GC (as I had originally planned to do)? Since my 10-year GC has been approved, can they still prevent me from reentering the country or are we just talking about a potential delay and administrative headache getting back in? Just trying to understand the situation and stakes better. Thanks.

Quick question:

As some of you know, we are in an admin loop of a nightmare and we have had a lightbulb moment and wondered what everyone s thoughts were.

Is it possible if the lockbox entered our address wrong (all speculative based on a NOA1 document returned) that the California office might have the wrong address on file eventhough we have since given USCIS our correct address over the phone and through e-request for returned documents?

I m thinking perhaps those actions don t automatically update an incorrect address on their database and the only way to do that is to update our address officially?

This would explain why we can receive copies of documents from USCIS but the original one (and seemingly now copies direct from California office since we now have 3 document returned statuses in the first three weeks of January) keeps getting returned each time?
