US Immigration from Vietnam

Hi everyone,

I and my wife are filling out our I-485 application. We are not sure if we have a priority date in our I797C. Our I797C only has the received date. I do not see anywhere it says priority date. Is our priority date the received date? Should we put the received date in the priority date box in our I-485? Thank you so much.

"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. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos and https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. 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."

However, we live abroad, working for a non-US company and the sponsor is making 25% above the threshold. We also submitted the sponsor's 12 months' bank statement along with the past 3 years' tax return transcripts, all of which have more or less the same income. Since we plan on moving only next year, we aren't able to provide a job offer at the moment but I don't think that it would be a problem in securing work in the future.

If we get a co-sponsor, shouldn't their income be 300% of the deficit? We aren't even sure what or how much the deficit is. Any advice would be so so helpful!

Thanks!

Hi everyone. I and my spouse are about to start preparing her I-485 and her work permit. I got the exemplified one. Is that what I need or the certified one? Thank you so much.

Hi everyone. I and my spouse are about to start preparing her I-485 and her work permit. So far, we have had our joint bank account, her SSN, the exemplified marriage certificate and utility bills together. We got married a month ago. Please give us advice. Thank you so much!

I have a I-129f filed already. My fiance is currently in the process of fighting for custody of her child from her ex. Our lawyer says she has a 70-80% chance of winning the lawsuit. Once we get custody, we'll go with K2 Visa, should be same timeframe when our I-129f gets approved.

The question is, will we be able to obtain the K2 showing the embassy that we have custody papers or will we also need some type of written and signed statement from the ex saying he approves the child to follow the mom to the US? The ex isn't very liking towards my fiance and he will most likely not provide any type of statement. The problem is that if she obtains custody but can't bring her child with her to the US once we get the K1, she's kind of stuck with no one to watch over her child.

Thank you
