  1. I would send the 1040X and supporting documents as it is the latest return.....or you could send both the pre-amended transcript and the 1040X (plus supporting documents) as you are just amending filing status.
  2. Did you, by chance, enter the US via round-trip ticket?
  3. ***Like topics merged***
  4. Another waste of taxpayer funds. Why would he even try this before his validity has been ultimately decided?
  5. There is a very clear appearance of conflict. That is enough to recuse himself. He will be reversed on several counts when this is over.
  6. @msrodan, Have you considered a spousal visa instead of a K-1? You are already together. Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 3-6 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 3-6 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises.
  7. ***Moved to CR-1/IR-1 Spousal Visa Process***** You are on the right track. Her attention should be focused on those things to qualify as a sponsor. TAXES- US taxes reported for 3 most recent tax years. INCOME SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT A NEW IMMIGRANT- Qualifying income which will continue after re-locating to the US, or a qualified US domiciled Joint Sponsor, OR sufficient assets. EVIDENCE OF US DOMICILE- She must either relocate to the US first or she must provide concrete evidence of intent to re-locate to the US. Of course, you must marry before starting the process. Since you didn't mention any exceptional circumstance which would allow her to file directly with the consulate, here is the applicable guide:
  8. It doesn't in your case. An interview might take place before the LPR has actually been a Green Card holder for 3 /5 years, but the oath cannot be taken before that date.
  9. Honestly, I am really surprised that he obtained a B2 at all. The vast majority of spouses from Pakistan would, likely, not be as fortunate. Sadly, what you have described is not unusual for Pakistani cases. I know you are disappointed at this stage, but you were not singled out. Hopefully, this period of AP will not be too long. Good luck on the rest of your journey.
  10. If his CURRENT annual (projected over 12 months) is well above the limit, he doesn't need a joint sponsor.......because past tax returns (what he made in the past) are not important. CURRENT ANNUAL INCOME is king. Current annual income is calculated as follows: Military: last monthly LES gross income multiplied by 12 months = current annual income. Non-Military: Gross income from last pay period stub multiplied by number of pay periods per year (12 months) = current annual income.
  11. This socialist would change his tune if Trump's administration became the arbiter of "misinformation". This guy is a classic example of tyranny.
  12. USCIS isn't going to request an I-485. Send the I-485 (along with the other form packages and a copy of the I-130 receipt).
  13. 1. They are all sent to the same location for concurrent filing. 2. Send supporting documents for each form (package). They are separate entities. They all need their own documents as stated in the VJ guide. 3. The fee for an I-765, if sent with an I-485, is $260.
  14. ***Moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, and Tourist Visas***
  15. I've got some news for the Kennedy family. JFK and RFK Sr. wouldn't fit in today's democrat party. They would be way right of what the dems see as center.
  16. Yes. But you should cancel the return leg of the flight after arriving in the US. This is very important as there have been cases in which USCIS denied Adjustment of Status applicants because they thought the K-1 entrant used the return ticket.
  17. Approval, RFE, or interview notice.
  18. During our I-751 interview, (44 months after submitting the I-751) the USCIS officer wanted to see evidence of bona fide marriage evidence from the date of submitting the I-751 until the date of the interview. I think USCIS assumed you were still married when they approved it.
