What “exceptional circumstances” did you use to qualify for DCF? USCIS is no longer processing I-130's in China. I believe it will be shipped off to Bangkok for that. Good luck, and keep us posted. https://china.usembassy-china.org.cn/petition-alien-relative-form-1302/

If you are CLAIMING more than a taxable amount of income ("My husband collects $?,454.00 each month for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). ") to the USCIS, while telling them you haven't filed tax returns, yes, that could be problematic. However, the problem may simply lie with showing evidence for the income you are receiving. You could simply fill out a tax return showing the $0 tax - if this is the case, you are NOT required to submit the return to the IRS, but can submit this to USCIS.

The K1 is a single entry visa - if she leaves without applying for AOS, she will need a new visa before returning. To apply for Adjustment of Status, you will need to first get married BEFORE leaving.

He has a hukou ben and a Chinese ID, no? He is a fully documented Chinese citizen. Yes, he can get a notarial birth certificate. Go to the gongzheng chu, where they said "bring us some documents and we'll notarize them," and have them notarize the documents in the form of a white book, or 出生公证书. The notation on the notarial birth certificate is 出生公证书, or chu sheng gong zheng shu, which is what you need to ask for at the Gong Zheng Chu, or 公证处֤֤֤. Chinese documentation for use overseas is issued to Chinese standards. The consulate is WELL AWARE of this.

Just be happy and move along. Apparently, no RFE was actually issued, although they had apparently INTENDED to issue one. It's canceled - but keep your fingers crossed. If they DO issue an RFE, you'll know about it.

It sounds like your RFE was cancelled before they ever told you about it and that no action is required, no?

The Global Times responds to "rumors" From online groups to anti-China outlets: how rumors were created about ‘China suspending or cutting up people’s passports’ By GT staff reporters Published: May 13, 2022 09:59 PM

The Google translate version of the Xinhua article. Remember that the interpretation of the Immigrations Official is what matters, NOT what YOU think it says. We are talking about Chinese Immigrations here - they are NOT ALLOWING people to leave the country for what is deemed NON=ESSENTIAL travel - THEIR discretion, not yours.

WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO.

Immigration Officials when presented with documents supporting what is considered "non-essential travel". I'll post the Google translate version shortly, but in the meantime, WATCH THE YOUTUBE video. They even mention someone engaged to marry an American citizen, which I assume means a K-1 visa holder was denied exiting at the Immigrations counter.

The recent policy announcement which has triggered over-zealous border Immigrations Officers to cut up (Chinese) passports and/or green cards of Chinese citizens was published in Xinhua on May 12. Xinhua Newspaper Network > Home > Text National Immigration Administration: Strictly restrict non-essential outbound activities of Chinese citizens The boys (Winston and C-Milk) talk about restrictions on leaving the country - Chinese citizens have had their passports and/or green cards cut up. I wouldn't think they would have a problem with a foreigner leaving the country, but I wouldn't suggest anyone do so with any expectation of being allowed back in. This is their China Fact Chasers channel. Overblown, as usual from these two, but I'm sure there are some facts behind it. https://youtu.be/JhlmnyGFZlY
