  1. ***Comment was split from an existing thread***
  2. Visa Journey is a DIY site. When a member responds with a link, they are pointing you to the source for the answer to your question. I would prefer an actual source as compared to just a personal opinion....just my opinion.
  3. We had a combo interview, too. I was notified to attend 2 days prior to the interview date. I answered a couple questions during the I-751 part of the interview. The officer wanted to see marriage evidence from time of I-751 filing to interview date. Luckily, I went well prepared.
  4. I don't think you will need a joint sponsor if your CURRENT income is sufficient. CURRENT income is king, not past income on tax forms. Good luck. CURRENT annual income is calculated as follows: Gross income from last pay period multiplied times number of pay periods per 12 months = Current annual income.
  5. Not with a USCIS case number. Your DOS case # will come in an email after NVC gets the case.
  6. The CEAC status will change to "At NVC".....and you will receive NVC instructions via an email.
  7. Yes....except that the IL email comes from NVC. This is the process after DQ: 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.
  8. Here are the I-130 instructions: You might get an RFE. You might an approval. Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary (uscis.gov) Here is the VJ spousal visa guide which might help:
  9. CURRENT income is king...not what was earned in the past.
  10. Oh, we know immigration law is complex....and there is a lot of knowledge here. We see every situation you could possibly imagine...and more. Your situation is not unique. It is more common than you might think because those agencies keep helping people lie, yet they face none of the consequences. Please keep us in the loop. Your experience is a valuable addition to our database of knowledge. I fear the lack of feedback we see after this type of case is directly related to the success rate of those cases. BTW, you might be surprised at how much bad attorney advice we see here on a regular basis. Good luck. I wish you well.
  11. Interesting concept.....set up state controlled area inside the national border.
  12. ***Two similar threads merged***
  13. Agree. As @boiler said, a Mea Culpa might be the only solution since it is impossible to prove a negative.
  14. He must first file an I-751 package to remove conditions. He can then file for citizenship about a year after filing the I-751 (sometime in 2025).
  15. That can probably be overcome with a waiver.....the hard part would be proving that she was never married....imho.
  16. If you can recover from this, it will be the first I have seen. I hope you will continue to keep us updated. We see this issue a few times a year, but we don't ever hear back.
  17. That's great. Next step- INTERVIEW and citizenship!!!! There is light at the end of the tunnel......and it isn't an oncoming train......it's freedom from USCIS.
  18. I sincerely hope your I-824 is processed soon. The immigration process takes way too long.....
  19. If I remember correctly, you marked the I-130 for both consular processing and adjustment of status. When USCIS receives an I-130, they either hold it if Adjustment of Status is marked, or the send it to NVC if consular processing is marked. In your case, both options were marked, so they need the I-824 to move it to NVC. Unfortunately, immigration isn't cheap. There will be more money to pay.
  20. I think that means only that they have the I-824...not that they have processed it.
