Sharing this on behalf of a VERY stressed friend, any insight?

-We filed for our spouse greencard in july 2019.
-In april 2020 i got my work permit.

-On august 24th we got an update saying our interview was scheduled and that we would receive a letter through mail with the date and time.
- I checked our mail every single day

-We were still waiting and waiting. Then we received two letters in the mail on november 9th, we thought "yay our interview date"
- one letter to my husband saying the I-130 is denied and abandoned because we did not show up on our interview date on September 28th
-2nd letter to me saying the I-485 was denied due to ^

Both letters say to send 290'bs with money order (675$ each) to MAYBE get it rectified.
[immigrant lawyer said they never ask 290bs/money order with the I-130 and that that is not rightly done by san antonio office]

- we sent both forms with letter of explanation and money orders to uscis
- we reached out to roger williams, lloyd doggett and ted cruz. They are talking to ucsis on our behalf.
We reiceved this back today from roger williams office;

U.S . Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records confirm that the appointment notice was mailed timely and to the address on file. A review of the A-file has been conducted to determine if the notice was returned as undeliverable by the Post Office, it was not. The San Antonio Field Office has advised the applicant/constituent to refer to the instructions on the denial notice if they wish to request a Motion to Reopen.

•We request the motion already (the 290bs) takes 4-8 weeks to hear back
•We never changed our address
•We would NEVER miss our interview date if we knew when it was
 

Hey all.

I've done some searching in VJ, but wanted to see if anyone had direct experience on this.

I applied for my N-400 last night, based on me being married to my US spouse for 4 years.

We have filed taxes jointly for the past 4 years. My husband ended up owing money to the IRS ($4000), which has my name on too, of course. He often owes, based on 1099 work, and has been on payment plans with the IRS in the past.

We have never filed late, and he is on a payment plan with the IRS to clear this balance.

I included this information in my N400, including our tax returns for 4 years, his bank account with payments going out each month to the IRS, a screenshot of what he owes the IRS and the current payment plan info, and a letter from the IRS to let us know there was a deficiency.

Thoughts on this affecting my N400?

Thanks y'all.

My husband and I have been married for a littleover a year, I have held my two year green card for about 6 months.

We have had our ups and downs and worked through a lot, but I am very fearful that while we go through an incredibly rocky stage in our relationship, that this might be it for us.

Should we end up divorcing, I would like to stay. I have recently started working my dream job in my dream field, for an amazing company. Perhaps eventually I will return to my home country but this work experience is so unique and valuable I can't stand the thought of having to leave. I also have a dog, friends here, a real life, and nothing to return to in my home country in terms of family or employment. It has taken a long time of homesickness but it now truly feels like America is my home.

Am I understanding correctly that I can file the ROC with a divorce waiver?

And that I should prove my marriage was entered into in good faith?

The evidence I have:

* joint bank account

* names on title of vehicle we own together

* two leases from two places we have lived together

* car insurance jointly

* taxes filed jointly for 2016

* photos

* mail from relatives addressed to us both

* invoices from our dog's medical bills in both of our names

* drivers licenses with same address on

* credit card in both of our names

* emails between us discussing home life, our plans etc

* a joint (tiny) business - with business cards and a website, with a bio explaining we are husband and wife

* wedding photos, cards

* cards and letters to one another

* cards and letters from friends in my home country, dated

I believe that is all for now. I really hope he and I can pull through but I want to prepare myself for the worst case scenario.

Hi,

Right after his AOS going through and him receiving his CONDITIONAL RESIDENCY CARD (from a K1 visa and adjusting status), my friend and his USC wife are divorcing.

He wants to know if the below evidence is sufficient for him to remove conditions on his own:

* Wedding Photos

* Lease agreement with both names and same address

* Bank account with both names and same address

* Internet bill with both names and same address

* Car insurance with both names and same address

* Photos through their relationship and marriage

* Wedding cards from relatives and friends addressed to both with dates, Christmas cards with dates addressed to both

Or what else could be considered better?

He has a conditional permanent resident card and this has only been approved very recently - will he be okay?

A friend of mine underwent the AOS process this year, but his marriage has somewhat fallen apart. He has asked me to see what I can learn on here regarding what his chances are of being able to remain in the US, as he has a job he loves, animals, and a lot of friends etc.

Divorce seems fairly imminent and he is concerned about his status in the US.

He has conditional permanent residence as of very recently, so I understand he has the option to remove conditions solo should they divorce?

So rather than return home I can stay here?

Thanks

Hi all,

My fiance and I have filed for our K1 visa but have only gotten as far as the NOA1 step.

I am currently visiting him from the UK on an ESTA and our circumstances have changed, we would like me to stay here.

Is it possible to cancel the K1 and go straight ahead and get married, before filing for AOS?

May I ask what airline you flew with?

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful answer!

Considering this is a US immigration forum and for thousands of people immigrating from the UK this will be an issue, I didn't see that it would be problematic to post on here. It's an issue I'm sure many people using these forums have come up against.

Obviously I will contact the SLC but, that's like telling everyone on here to just contact the USCIS to find out information pertaining to their immigration.

Does anyone have any experience of this, and might be able to explain to me what I must do?

Currently I have a percentage of my wage deducted each month in London, England, but will eventually be moving to America on the K1 to marry my fiancé and stay there permanently. I will not be working for a minimum of 5 months I expect?

Do I contact student loans and tell them, how much notice do they require, what proof do I need etc?

May I ask how long yours took to process?

Thanks, awesome!

Hey.

My fiancé and I are planning on sending our k1 application off while I am visiting him stateside, then I will return home while we wait for it to go through.

I think I have my answer but wanted to double check: will I need to take anything with me to America to enclose with our application, eg birth certificate or anything of that nature?

He has sent her a text message so hopefully she is cooperative. I guess we just write 'unknown' if she doesn't get back to him.

We have flown back and forth cumulatively 8 times in 16 months to see one another so have plenty of evidence of being together.

I wasn't worried about the strong evidence part; we've got that covered thanks.

Hence me asking about the alien number and not about what problems we might encounter with the USCIS.

I'm not worried about proving my relationship.

Do you think this will cause problems for us?

It wasn't the best decision he's made and they used a lawyer that she paid for so she could speed up the process to get her greencard and bounce. He seems to think the lawyer or she will have the forms and paperwork.

My fiancé is filing a K1 for he and I to be together.

He's been married before, they eloped while she was on a VWP and they went the AOS route.

How can he get her alien number without speaking to her?

Hi - I have looked on here but cannot seem to find an answer to this question, I am sorry.

I would like to know if, once the K1 Visa is approved, there is a certain amount of time within which you must have flown to the US? I know that upon entering the US that the visa is good for 90 days and you must marry within those, but I am curious if once granted the visa you MUST immediately travel to America?

My partner and I want to be together as quickly as possible (as we all do), but naturally would like to know we have some breathing room if by the point of the K1 visa being granted, we don't have as much money as we would like to have saved, so I can stay in my job for some time to save before I am unable to work in America until EAD.

Okay sure. I don't want to wilfully lie but it's SO hard remembering dates.

Hi.

Being super over the top and meticulous but this is the biggest decision of my life thus far!

RE listing employment for last 5 years; I am not 100% on dates but don't want to 'willfully' lie on the application; I can check out my CV but I am not sure they are absolutely correct. I had a LOT of retail jobs through my education, though I have been in my present job for almost 4 years.

Any suggestions; am I okay to put in rough dates? Is it imperative they are totally correct?

Hi all.

(I am in UK, fiance in USA)

This question seems like slight overkill but I would rather be safe than sorry.

I am filling in the G-325A form and am concerned about the "applicants residence last 5 years" because at one point I was sofa hopping, and I have not been on any tenancy agreement, even in the flat I have lived in for the last 18 months.

Do I need to list every single address in this 5 year period, or can I omit crashing on a friend's floor for one Summer?

Does anyone know what they do with this information, i.e. if it will be problematic that I have not signed tenancy agreements, registered to vote etc? I have post from these addresses (i.e. student loan letters, doctors letters etc), with the omission of the friends I was crashing at, so I assume that is adequate proof of having lived there?

My fiancé and I are currently weighing up what on earth we are going to be doing regarding me joining him in the states.

However I am very keen to adopt a puppy.

I am curious as to how people transport their animals into the USA, I have heard of a site called Jets4Pets, but don't know if anyone has any other ideas or experience?

Looking to get a weimaraner so quite a large dog.
