Him and Her 1

Ok I understand now. Yep, only that I do not meet the mark. I sent a letter from employer and three years of taxes. I've been at my job for a year and a half. Previous years I was way under. Now I'm barely over. I guess that's why. Who knows. Going with a JS.

I did apply to be the sponsor and got an RFE stating I don't meet the 125%, but I do. I did not send in my proof of citizenship, so I'm wondering if that could be why we got the RFE. We decided to get a joint sponsor because we're not sure why, and don't want to be denied if I try again. There was a phone number on the RFE. I wonder if they would be able to answer those questions for me.

Thank you! I just realized I didn't send in proof of my citizenship. Could that be why we got an RFE, or would it have stated that?

We sent out the AOS package on March 18th, and received an RFE on April 20th for not meeting the 125% on the affidavit of support. I do meet the 125% but just barely for 3 people (my daughter included). We've decided to get a joint sponsor as to not chance a denial. What information can we give to our joint sponsor? How long will they be obligated to be financially responsible through law? Until naturalization?

Also, does she need to meet the 125% for 4; herself, my husband, daughter and I? Or just 2, herself and my husband?

Any info is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone! We filed March 18th and they received our applications on the 21st. My husband did his biometrics on April 21. The travel and work have not updated since they were received, but we did get an RFE for not meeting 125% on the I-864. I do make enough, but just barely. I'm over by a few hundred dollars of the 125% for 3 in our household (my daughter included). My questions: Should I send in more detailed information of my income, (bank statements, deposit history, etc.) or not chance it and just go with a joint sponsor? We're really wanting to be able to do it ourselves, as not to inconvenience anybody, but we will if we have to. If we go with a joint sponsor, what info should we give them about how long they will have to be a sponsor? I believe I read that it's until the person they're sponsoring becomes naturalized, which can take 2-3 years. True?

Also, I thought this would be a good opportunity to show proof of relationship by sending in pictures, both names on our lease, insurance cards, etc., along with the RFE response, just for the added cherry on top. I know it's not needed now but anything to get the process go smoother and faster. Thoughts?

Spouse.

Can I apply for medical insurance before my Adjustment of Status is complete?

I have a friend who was ordained online who is planning on marrying us. Will this cause any problems with USCIS when applying for the green card? I didn't think so, now I'm hearing that this has caused problems before.

My fiancé and I just need a little overview on the steps of filing for his AoS. We researched every little step when doing the K1 Visa and barely looked ahead at what to do AFTER getting him here. Lol! He's here now, marriage coming soon. Can we get a run down on what to do after? All the fees involved? Thanks!

Thanks for the tips!

Will my fiance need to bring a translated copy of his singlehood certificate in order for us to get a marriage license, or is the k1 visa enough?

What can my fiance expect when going through Customs at Denver International Airport? Length of time, questions he'll be asked, etc... Can anyone share their experience? Thanks!

Congrats!! This is an exciting time. My fiancé just booked his flight today. Good luck to you. I hope it's processed quickly.

When he picked up his visa, he was told to pay the DS 160 immigrant fee online. He needs to enter his Alien Registration Number (from NOA2?) and Department of State Case ID (case number) number. When he enters those he gets a message: "ERROR: We could not find the A-Number and/or DOS Case ID you entered. If your immigrant visa was approved recently, please wait five days before attempting to pay. If the problem continues after five days, please contact the Customer Contact Center for assistance."

We've also read that we do not have to pay that fee until he applies for GC. It's a little confusing. Was he told this only because it was processed as an immigrant visa? Since this is a nonimmigrant visa he doesn't have to pay?

4 business days.

Booking flight now (It's ridiculous how one way flights are more expensive and more hours than round trip).

Visa in hand ?

Or, I should say, his visa. Lol It's such a team effort it feels like 'ours'.

I'll ask my fiancé to get on and double check. That all looks good. The two photos are supposed to be passport style and size. The bank statement I sent was from the beginning of October. I don't know of any time requirements. He did get asked severel questions that were very personalized to our relationship, about where I was born, are my parents still married, what our plans are after getting married, etc., but he said it was really easy. He answered with "I don't know" a couple times, but as long as you are honest it'll be fine. The CO didn't even peek at my finance's packet or evidence that he brought in. He seemed to have our case memorized from the petition I sent in. He gave my fiancé all of the evidence I sent and our pictures I had sent. Overall, it was an easy experience. Good luck to you! I'm sure it'll go as smoothly as ours.

Our visa changed to Issued today!

All this waiting and bumps in the road.. I thought the interview approval was our victory, but I won't feel like we did it until my finance's plane lands here. Lol! It'll all be worth it in the end, though. Good luck to the coming up interviews this week. I believe there's one tomorrow and on the 8th.

"Congratulations, your visa has been approved. You will receive your visa within a week."

Is it typical to jump into administrative processing immediately following the interview, for paperwork and getting the visa issued? Our case is updated as of today under AP. I've read horror stories about getting stuck here. Is this a normal step?

Thank you everyone! K1hopeful, when filling out the form on the Aramex site, did you put a priority date?

Good to hear, Omeeten! Congratulations to you as well! They told my fiance a week till he will get his visa. I wonder with the holidays if it will be delayed a few extra days. Hopefully soon.

Approved! Insanely happy.

Congratulations!! The standstill seems to be over. Good luck everyone!
