  1. Congratulations on your wedding!
    An A-Number is also known as an Alien Registration Number or Alien Number.
    No you do not file form I-130. 
    Refer to the guides here, for the forms you need to submit for Adjustment of Status for the k-1.

    Congrats again and best of luck. 

  2. see part 7 of the form and instructions.
    https://www.uscis.gov/i-864 yes you can declare assets and bank info.
    #2 of part 7 asks current net value of real estate minus mortgage...  even not knowing the value of your present house im still leaning towards you are better off not in debt, with potentially 2 mortgages. 

    obtaining new rental properties by getting yourself into further debt to show higher income wont fly. 


    i'm still not exactly sure what you are trying to have answered or do. 


    the tax  information can not be fabricated. you can't suddenly land yourself in freelance or investment income not previously evidenced anywhere without questions. it all goes back to your tax returns. 
    I still question why you are so focused on this bit.

     

    I do get it is easy to get wrapped up  in the process. but like I said, you may need to consult a CPA. 

  3. I noticed your other thread regarding taking a job as a taxi driver to spend more time with your fiancé. 

    Not knowing your entire situation, it sounds like you are concerned with being to be able to show enough income down the road when it comes to filing the I-485. 

    You mentioned owning your home outright (no mortgage) and seeking to purchase more than one or more investment rental income properties with 25 -50% down, which to me sounds like you have cash in the bank as well. 
    The I-485 (not the EZ version) does have a section you can fill out to list assets in situations where reported income alone does not meet the threshold. From what you mentioned, it sounds to me like you may have enough to qualify that way. (listing bank accounts, value of your home, and any other assets you may have)  
    If not you can always seek a joint sponsor. 

    I would advise against incurring a mortgage (or possibly more than one) and all of the unknown expenses and potential losses of speculative real estate, solely for a form you do not yet have to submit for a year or possibly more. Should you wish to create a real estate investment for your future together, I would advise consulting a certified public accountant that specializes in real estate, before you buy anything. 

    You mentioned in the other thread, you would like time off to spend with your fiancé .. Have you considered asking your present employer for a leave of absence (not paid time off, but still have a job when you return) and renting your home on a short term basis while you are out of the country?

    I was able to speak to an NVC agent and she told me to go back to my CEAC account and delete the uploaded docs and resubmit. She explained for some reason the docs never got to their end and that's the reason they only showed "UPLOADED". I remember hitting the "Submit Documents" red tab but not sure why they didn't upload, perhaps something odd with my internet connection, I don't know. So I just signed back on and did exactly as I was told and uploaded and submitted the docs again. It now shows "SUBMITTED" (as yours) so the waiting continues. Thanks for bringing up that point of yours saying "SUBMITTED", I would had never know the difference. I'll keep you updated as soon as I know anything new. Good luck with your case!

    oh wow. So glad you were able to get a human on the phone so quickly, and you were able to fix it. Hopefully now you get a case complete soon!

    Yes, I did submit the updated docs after unloading them. If I remember correctly, they all said "UPLOADED" first, then changed to "ACCEPTED" (with a green checkmark right beside it), after they got reviewed 1-2 days later. Just now I tried to resubmit them, but that is not an option any longer, so I'm stock.  

    How odd, I would definitely give them a call to find out what is up then. NVC phone : (603) 334-0700 

  6. @Wuozopo 
    thank you! 
    Duh!!! 
    I was reading to much into it.
    do understand I tend to over complicate things, (I is American afterall) and when I see a form, or a piece of paper, it hurts my brain a little, as nothing is truly straight forward.  As in that would not be a link to download print an email if it was not important.
    I am also exhausted from this go around the second time around,  just to get my husband back home.  

    Thank you again, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  7. So after what has seemed like eons of waiting, we FINALLY got a case and invoice number. We paid both the AOS and IV fee, the status is still 'in process' instead of 'paid' as it is the weekend, and it says it takes a couple of days. That is fine, while I am waiting I am finalizing the AOS package so I can upload it as soon as it lets me. (im assuming it has to go to paid before it will let me upload anything)
    In reading the instructions, it says I must upload the attached cover sheet or face delays. I need more delays like I need another hole in my head. Soooo, My first question is, I have tried both printing, and emailing cover sheet to myself, and my spouse. In all cases, Where I am pretty sure there should be a bar code there is a little 'x' in a box like it is a borked link to an image. (see attached) I have updaded Adobe, tried using other PDF readers, and even tried different browsers. Anyone have an idea what is going on there?

    Second question,

    Does this get uploaded separately? (as in on its own as a separate file?) or Does it get uploaded as part of (as in, on top of the I-864, scanned in as one file) and if that is the case, does it also get scanned in as the first page of all the supporting docs as well?  

    Hope someone who has done electronic processing, can help me make some sense of this. I am trying to have everything organized and ready to go as soon as the status turns to paid, and I can just upload the files, not wasting time re scanning and playing shrinky dink to get the files sizes under 2mb all over again. 

    Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer.

    The NVC received our case on the 3rd Dec 18, we are coming up on 8 weeks waiting on Monday. I phoned the NVC today, choosing option 2 and asked for my case number. I got through after hour and the operator said your case is being electronically processed and she was unable to provide a case number. She stated I need to chose option 5 and she transferred my call, after waiting in another phone queue, I got through to operator who said I would receive a welcome pack by either post or email but he did not provide a case number. Has anyone struggled in obtaining their case number? 

    We are the same NVC receive date as you, I have been calling everyday, I called yesterday and got the same standard "it can take up to 8 weeks". This morning at 8:30 EST we got the email with our case number! So hopefully you hear something later today or tomorrow. 

  9. I feel your pain. Florida's DMV (doesn't matter which office they all) specialize in torture. It very well may be they entered the information wrong. When I took my son to get his FL DL, when he got it, they had his date of birth wrong.

    When you say he doesn't have his physical SS card yet, do you mean it was lost in the mail, or just not arrived? 
    My suggestion would be to go to the Social Security office and get them to give you a print out verifying his Social Security number, and try again. Do make sure you have everything on the silly long list they have as requirements, I suggest having more than the minimum.
