USCIS will take a photo and fingerprints.

Yes. You will include it as part of current annual income in Part 6, item 20. You will submit the benefits letter as evidence of that part of his annual income (similar to submitting paystubs). Note: Any taxable part of his SS retirement pension will have already been included in the tax return info you must list in Part 6, items 24 a,b, and c.

There is no need to list it as an employer as receiving a SS retirement pension is not employment. Income from a SS retirement pension is qualifying income, and the supporting documentation is the Social Security benefits letter downloaded from the Social Security website. The income should be included in Part 6, item 20. Note: Part 6, item 7 also requires annual income to be entered.

Path of least resistance is to make sure you have the most current I-864 and submit a new one after checking to ensure everything is correct.

If you have an unexpired Green card, I don't think you will have an issue.

You can travel on any Green Card, alone, up to the day of its expiration.

You can travel with only a Green Card if it has not expired by the time you return. If it will expire during your time outside the US, you will need both the expired Green Card and the 48 month extension letter you will receive when submitting an I-751.

If they are no longer dependent on you, then don't show them as dependents on a current I-864.

Patience is a virtue.....especially in the world of immigration. Nothing happens fast. Hopefully, the status will change to issued soon.

Your US spouse really needs to join us here for this conversation....

They are probably doing a background investigation, which is normal. Have you ever applied for a US visa of any kind in the past?

Age can be a factor in the totality of the situation. Is it normal, in your culture for such a large age gap? Is your spouse a US citizen?

Once an interview date has been scheduled by NVC, contact the consulate for all interview matters. I would just contact them and explain, so that they do not just close your case.

No. He must wait until he is a US citizen before filing an I-130 for her.

***Moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, and Tourist Visas**** No, your old employers cannot affect your adjustment of status.

We still don't know where the DIL and child live or what citizenship they hold....

The opposite. Applying as a 5 year Green Card holder is easier.

If you are eligible, file under the 5 year rule. There is no penalty for being married to a US citizen. In addition, there is less paperwork and no bona fide marriage evidence required under the 5 year rule. There is no difference in speed either way.

It could take a few weeks to a year or more from DQ to interview being scheduled. It depends on the queue for your consulate at NVC. Here is the process for immigrant visas: 1. Case is DQ'd by NVC. 2. Case then enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC. 3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month. 4. NVC schedules interviews for cases at the front of the line. 5. NVC schedules your interview when your case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate. 6. NVC notifies person of interview date via email. 7. NVC then sends case to consulate. After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case. You might want to check the more recent timelines from Poland here on VJ.
