Hello!

Just wanted to see if this is a common problem or its just me?

Every time I go to check my case status on the myUSCIS website, I get this error:

• At this time USCIS cannot provide you with information for your case. Please contact the NCSC 1 (800) 375-5283 for additional information.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks!

That isn't necessarily so. A lot depends on where you want to practice and the type of practice. As with many things, the devil is in the details.

OP: Are you currently licensed in any US state? If not, have you started the process with NABP: http://www.nabp.net/pharmacists ?

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Haha i'm actually a pharmacist FROM the US and moved to Oz and became registered there. I'm licensed in Maryland to work and have plenty of experience from the States so finding work won't be a problem... but still can take a month since i'm picky with my job.

Out of curiousity, why are you going for a K1 instead of getting married in Oz and getting the IR1/CR1?

It seemed like the IR1/CR1 took longer and required more evidence. I've only been living with my fiancé for the past 8 months in Australia so we don't have many joint things to declare.

Thanks everyone! I'm still a little confused.

I know I wouldn't have a problem securing a job once I get back to the States but i'm hoping to stay in Oz as long as possible before we need to go back i.e. once our visa is approved.

IF at the time of interview i'm still in Oz working full time, would that salary be sufficient or does it have to be a US salary.

If not, for a co-sponsor, would a sibling be sufficient?

Nope I work for an Australian chemist but will be paying US taxes as i'm required to declare any income. I have both an Oz and US bank account with money in both.

I guess the big question is what exactly is required as proof of income to meet the 125% poverty level?

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

So my fiancé and I have started the k1 visa process and sent in our application. I'm looking at the next steps and the income requirement may be a little complicated for us.

I'm the sponsor, a pharmacist from the US but currently am living with my fiancé in Australia. I'm currently working as a pharmacist in Oz making income well above the 125% poverty level.

From what i've seen, the income requirement is 125% above the poverty line and the evidence is based on last year's income tax (2013). But i've also seen on these forums that I need to be holding a job (in the States?) at the time of submission for the income evidence -- here lies the problem.

My income tax from 2013 is sufficient for the income requirement BUT since i'll be moving back to the States near the time the K1 visa will be approved --- i'll still be working IN OZ until then... and once i move back to the States I expect it'll take me some time to find a full time job.

So in summary my questions are:

1. Do I need to hold a job IN THE US at the time I submit the income paperwork?

2. If yes to question no 1, then do I need a co-sponsor?

Hope that wasn't too confusing, thanks in advance!
