  1. Did the CO mention it? It is looking more like a "too married" situation.
  2. It, definitely, is a thing. That's why we ALWAYS advise K-1 couples not to have any kind of ceremony which could be seen as a marriage ceremony prior to actually marrying in the US. You might have discovered the source of the issue. What is this "NOC"? No Objection Certificate? Is that part of registering a marriage in India?
  3. That is correct. You don't need 2 joint sponsors. The I-864a signifies to USCIS and the joint sponsor's spouse that joint taxes and combined income are being used.
  4. 2 independent households can live under the same roof. A JOINT sponsor can be any US citizen or Green card holder living in the US. As I said, the JOINT sponsor, as well as the primary sponsor, must submit an I-864. The spouse of the JOINT sponsor submits an I-864a to combine income with the joint sponsor since they are filing taxes jointly.
  5. The joint sponsor MUST FILE AN I-864. The spouse files an I-864a. No, it does not affect the case.
  6. No. You can return any time before the extension letter expires....even the day before.
  7. You won't. If you plan to return after your extension letter expires, get an ADIT stamp before you leave.

  9. The CO would have told informed the applicant. They would not have waited.
  10. These questions seem to be better directed to a specialized attorney than a DIY site, imho.
  11. What did Trump say about Milwaukee? From the same article "The mayor of Milwaukee responded to Donald Trump after he reportedly called Wisconsin's biggest city “horrible” because of its crime rate." Sounds like another out of touch Democrat Mayor. Twist the message, attack the messenger, remain silent on the message. THAT is pretty horrible.
  12. I would go this route, too, prior to submitting an I-824.
  13. I would check that I-131 fee again. G-1055, Fee Schedule (uscis.gov) "If filing for an Advance Parole Document Paper Filing: $630"
  14. Hopefully, that is the 10 year card.....and all will be golden...
  15. No, the petitioner files the I-824 to move the approved I-130 to NVC.
  16. No, USCIS could send the petitioner a notice which says the case has expired. If it is an admin error, you might get a status that it was returned to NVC.
  17. Where is the foreign spouse? It appears the petitioner incorrectly completed the I-130, which has confused USCIS. Your I-130 is approved, but it is now stuck there until either the foreign spouse submits an I-485 (if he/she is inside the US right now) or until the petitioner submits an I-824 which will move the I-130 to NVC and the consulate. An I-824 will delay the case for as much as a year. Note: It appears the I-130 indicated the spouse will seek a visa outside the US, and also indicated the spouse will adjust status inside the US. That is what caused the confusion at USCIS.
  18. Taxes would not be the reason for returning the case. They would have asked for a joint sponsor. Either there is an admin error to correct, or one of you were not legally eligible to marry, as an example. Another possibility is that they found something in the extended AP. Step 1 is to determine why the case is being sent back. It could be an admin error...in which case, it will be re-sent to the consulate after correction. Marriage does not cure all issues. **Please don't start another topic about this. Keep the discussion here in this thread**
  19. Here is a source where the US Government (USCIS) seems to define 6 months as 180 days: Chapter 3 - Continuous Residence | USCIS "An absence of more than 6 months (more than 180 days) but less than 1 year (less than 365 days) during the period for which continuous residence is required (also called “the statutory period”) is presumed to break the continuity of such residence" I think it's reasonable to conclude the State Department uses the same definition. I would err on the side of caution and consider 181.4 days as exceeding the "6 month" parameter.
  20. Because I think you are looking for the definition of "6 months", not "half a year".
