Currently have had NOA2 approved since early February for my fiancee in the Philippines, but we had our interview cancelled in March due to Covid. With the way the politics are in the Philippines, it seems like to me that the US Embassy might not even open next year. I am thinking about setting May 1 as the "give up"date, as it seems like we have to move on with our lives at some point.

Find a local date, but I doubt you would find any with your impatience.

I'm aware there is a backlog everywhere, but I was curious if we switched embassies if we would be in the "back of the line" so to speak or if we would be "in line" based off our DQ of July 2020.

By the way-You are totally able to switch embassies. 

Ever heard of checkout lines? You switch lines thinking it would be faster, it is not.

How many people actually sent I-865s? Do you have fact?

Sorry for the repeated attachments at the end couldn't remove them 

Slots are limited, you keep checking until the option is available.

Not sure if it is still the case now, but when I booked my appointment for London a few years ago I kept checking back regularly on the website. I seem to recall that they updated the appointments each day, after midnight, to include new slots that had opened up due to cancellations etc. Not sure if that still applies now, especially as you mentioned they are not allowing cancellations. I would still advise that you keep checking the site regularly though for an opening. 

 

 

How have they messed up? They were instructed to reschedule after the appointment was missed as it wasn't possible to schedule an appointment until that point. 

This time of pandemic is not "a few years ago". All interview sessions are reduced significantly.

Children are a part of life and sometimes they make noise. I’ll have to hope for an interviewer who understands that - luckily most people I encounter do. 

My friend interview was rescheduled last week due to the fussy baby, it is interviewer's discretion to carry on the interview or not.

The agent didn't say the I-130 was denied due to a no-show.  @payxibka is correct that the interview is for the I-485.

It is a concurrent interview, they adjust both at the interview, no show means they couldn't establish a relationship. What do you think why it is denied?

No show for interview would affect the i485 not the i130 

OP was answered because there was no show above. Don't be so certain about anything.

You are not helping arguing with me. Second, your suggestion about tax transcripts might be wrong, because I got pretty much the same letter and I needed to send form 1099. In addition, I didn't send tax transcripts because it wasn't available at that time and they accepted it. The status changed to "case is ready for interview" already. 

So I won't be so sure about tax transcripts, especially in the case of self-employed situation, because it's a little bit more complicated. 

She was correct, tax transcripts are always preferred in I-864 RFE.

no I don’t. do you?

Are You still waiting?

They didn’t make that clear in their announcement. Closest thing I could read if was if local resources allow. Currently my consular office is doing emergency interviews only. (New born, or children turning 2)

Is your case emergency? If no, everyone has to wait.

Not every cases start with WAC, just saying.

OP is asking about case number not receipt number so please read.

Who May Be Considered a Household Member for Purposes of Form I-864A?

For purposes of this contract, a household member is:

1. A U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or U.S. national relative who has the same principal residence as the sponsor and is related to the sponsor as a spouse, adult child, parent, or sibling; 

    

   Why Does a Household Member Complete Form I-864A?

    

   A household member completes this contract if the household member’s income and/or assets will be used to demonstrate the sponsor’s ability to meet the income requirements and to maintain the sponsored immigrant at an annual income at the level speci ed in section 213A(f)(l)(E) or 213A(f)(3) of the INA. 

You contribute nothing to your moms income, how are you gonna consent her to use mutual income to sponsor your spouse? Nancy is right, many have received RFE for this matter.

that's not true.It is not the responsibility of the interviewer or DHS to determine you followed the law. 

OP is legally responsible for understanding and following the law. 

You have been through this immigration stage for far too long to make a suggestion like that. 

Eligibility requirement id for OP to read and understand. 

 

She doesn't qualify at this moment based on time spent inside the US alone.  She will get denied and waste her money if she applies in hopes of interviewer applying the rules for her.

2015 + 2016 are more than 18 months for LPR marriage to USC already. 

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/Citizenship & Naturalization Based Resources/A Guide to Naturalization/PDFs/M-480.pdf

One requirement about continuous residence is "During the past three years, I have not been out of the country for 18 months or more." which OP does meet it.

I was on OPT before I filed AOS and it was also my biggest concern. And I have consulted different lawyers including the one I finally hired and they all gave me the same answer, which was the one I just told. 

So different outcomes then you shouldn't jump in and false info this, false info that. You are not always right, are you?

We are talking about a future, is there any guarantee OP will be able to hold his job? Let alone on a temporary work permit.

False info.

OP, your income certainly can be counted. Ask your employer writing a letter stating that as long as you are eligible to work in the State, they would continue to hire you. 

I was doing same thing as you instruct when I was on OPT, by the way it was a 5year research contract not just "a letter", and USCIS still didn't accept my income back then. I had to ask for joint sponsor. So please don't speak when you are not in OP situation.

You need to consult an attorney, vawa is not ideally DIY. Good luck.

You haven't got conditional green card yet, too early to concern. It is pretty much 4 - 5 years from now, if you send your AOS soon.

The form works with the I-751 form. She should receive a text and email although USCIS IS VERY INCONSISTENT with these updates. I received an update of everything, some people receive some updates, and some get none at all. It is simply not true that it only works with lockboxes.

No it doesn't work with I-751.

• This service is only available for forms filed at our three Lockbox facilities located in Lewisville, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; and Phoenix, Arizona.

Maybe you're the one who needs to read. She wrote that they currently live apart but haven't begun their divorce proceedings. This means they're physically separated but still very much married in the eyes of the law and can reconcile any day without having to report anything to anyone. So you're wrong, it's not fraud. However, if they do decide to proceed for divorce, THEN and only then, would she have to re-file with a waiver if they had previously filed jointly.

You file jointly but you are not living together aka bona-fide, it is called fraud. Let alone, she mentioned "he is supportive for my green card" even though they are apart. Don't give false advise when you don't know anything.

Yes, it does make it easier to read, however, it has nothing to do with respect. We, as members on this group have to remember that not all posts are from American citizens with english as their first language. We have posters here from all over the world. And are posted and written 'quite possibly' to the best of the writers ability, being foreign, and not from this country. We are here to help each other on visa problems not judge gramatical errors.

There is nothing to do with grammar or English, it is punctuations which you learn at elementary. All languages use punctuations to make sentences and ideas clear.

Please use proper punctuations in your question. It is how you respect other members and makes it easier to read.
