It's an "IF ANY" question. It won't be rejected. No. Not odd one bit. You are only eligible to place an email enquiry to the Lockbox once 30 days has passed since the shipment was RECEIVED not sent however it can take much longer. Please see the USCIS Contact Us website for details. Joining your VJ filing month tread will also be helpful to see current Noa1 times at your Lockbox. Please complete your VJ timeline.

That's normal in most counties. Having ID in your new legal name menas nothing. Your name was changed the moment you got married and chose to change it. Your proof is your MC. It is the legal name change doc. You can use any name ON IT as yours. Nothing else has to be changed FOR IMMIGRATION. IDs are for other reasons. Your legal name is your name that you choose to use after marriage, iD or not, as the MC proves you are married and can take any name ON IT as your own. If you input your maiden name it won't match any documents moving forward to prove your bona-fide marriage as they'll all have your married name on them eventually. Again, IDs mean nothing. Having your name on an ID doesn't make it legal. Your marriage and your MC do.

Yes. It doesn't matter where they live and who claims them for taxes. If a child is under the age of majority in their state of residence, they are counted as your household member. Why? Because if the parent who they live with dies, you'd be financially responsible. Key word AND. They'd have to be BOTH: 1. Of age. AND 2. You'd would have to not claim them on your taxes. Your VJ Timeline is blank. Please fill it out! You seem to be helping a lot of your friends. 🤔

My keyword was "estimate". There is no other way to know if you should apply or not for I765 and I131 beforehand. Ensure you have the correct LFO. There is no method to know anything down to a science but we do get clues from USCIS and VJ. VJ TRIES to help by collecting stats from members however most are selfish and do not fill out their timeline to add to the pool and only want immediate answers to their questions.

Then disregard my comment as you've posted in a public forum where everyone is free to read the responses and advice. Perhaps it will help others who do not understand that they can look up their estimated timeline for every application before they spend money.

But did you need to? If you had checked your timelines ON THE WEBSITE before you applied you may have realized spending the money on I765 and I131 was silly if your I485 timeline was estimated to be short er than I485...(which is my point for others reading).

You're very welcome! For others that come across this thread, it's helpful to be able to preemptively look up your estimated timeline before spending any money. For example, those at a currently quick LFO for I485, they may not want to spend the dough on I765 or I131 if taking longer than their LFO for I485 may take.

yes. It happens all the time. Now that I765 isn't free, looking up the estimated timelines for each before wasting money is important. I485 is Local Field office. I765 and I131 is NBC. What does the processing times website say? What you've attached is not the website. Says who? Ppl at YOUR LFO? Who are your stats coming from because you can only reasonably compare (if at all) applicants at YOUR LFO. All K1 i765s are processed at NBC.

TBD is a perfectly good answer for an automatic I131 AP application. A K1 AOSer doesn't have to have a reason to apply. I recommend joining the monthly AOS filing thread for your month to find answers to the basics as they have been going on for years with the knowledge passed down from peer to peer for those who've read previous monthly threads.

At minimum you have missed another error in that you've used an I864a for a JS as well. I864a can only be used for CO-sponsors not joint sponsors.

No. Unfortunately, the 3 most recent tax year's taxes must be filed (if legally required to file) in order to qualify to be a sponsor. PROOF of the most recent year only is required. Three most recent years PROOF is optional but they must have filed all three if required. Assets will not be accepted in this situation. Best advice is to find a new JS.

Do you ever wonder why I am a "Fill out your timeline" Zi, lol? The OP posted this in a K1 forum. Post indicates they have an expiring visa which would not be a K1. I'll reserve all further help until we have an accurate VJ timeline filed out by @DanT53!!!!

You may concurrently file I485 and I131. To expedite I131, you'll need a receipt notice for it and a copy of the death certificate for a parent, sibling or child. With timelines how they are, to receive Noa1, you may have postpone funeral.

You went too far. It tells you on the first page of Get Transcript when you select immigration as reason. *VJ operates its statistics through COMPLETE timelines. A blank one serves no justice to everyone else. Not only that, but ppl who choose to help you, use the info in it TO help you and to help you CORRECTLY. It also helps others to understand if a post pertains to them because they can click on it and check your filing type, country etc. Please fill out your VJ timeline. It will be the third time I've explained why and asked you. I will no longer help as ignoring at this point, is rude.

You may contact the lockbox by email once it has been 30 days since the packet was received not sent. Google Contact USCIS and scroll to by filing location for the procedure.

Online filing for I765 and I131 applies to only certain categories of filing. A K1 filing I485 does not meet the criteria to file online for I765 or I131. Ensure you have read the instructions for all forms before attempting to fill out. And please fill your your blank VJ timeline.

Separate. If you submit one check and they refuse ONE application they will have to refuse ALL applications because the check will be for too large an amount. Separate. If you submit one check and they refuse ONE application they will have to refuse ALL applications because the check will be for too large an amount. Please fill out your VJ TIMELINE.

Once a K1 arrives in the US, they become the APPLICANT AND PETITIONER of ALL future immigration processes. The term "beneficiary" is for immigrants being sponsored for VISAS only. Both irrelevant. Irrelevant Both are photocopies only. ESPECIALLY the DS3025. The applicant should keep their personal copy of it. 1. Form 1040 is NOT a complete federal tax return. You may not submit 1040 in lieu of the COMPLETE federal tax return. 2. You may submit a complete federal tax return including all pages and schedules AND all earnings statements (so W2s and/or 1099s). OR NOT AND 3. You may submit a Return Transcript WITHOUT earnings statements as earnings statements are ONLY needed to accompany a Return Transcript WHEN that return has been filed as MFJ. 4. Submitting 2 AND 3 is not advised and can result in RFE for I864 due to not following instructions. 2 OR 3 only. PS. ensure you have read them. 5. Most recent tax year's proof is required. THREE years is OPTIONAL. 6. The LESS proofs you submit the LESS chance you have to get it wrong. LOTS of ppl get it wrong. I864 is the statistically the #1 form of what ppl get RFEs for and get denied for forcing them to refile. This is not a more is better situation. Prove your ability to sponsor CONCISELY and SIMPLY. You aren't competing with USCIS and you aren't competing with the Joneses. Neither are needed as your MC that you are submitting is your legal name change doc. Instructions recommend 6 months IF submitting an EVL. Again, learn them in and out. Petitioner/ applicant Photocopy only. Not needed. You ARE MISSING the foreign BC. Petitioner/applicant Photocopy only. I765 supporting documents are iidenticalfor I131. In your list they aren't. Copy your I765 list with the corrections I made and of course Petitioner/applicant BC is also missing here. Sorry for the mess. Using symbols/indenting/formatting doesn't work when it's time for us to break down your post to answer without having to write paragraphs. Also, please complete your VJ timeline correctly. It states you are both from France and Armenia and will not report correctly the statistics that help all users of VJ.

Could be but if that's how your county clerk issues MCs there isn't much you can do but explain in your mailed RFE response. Have you spoken with your CC and asked why they present MCs like that? Or what the two different dates refer to? Speaking with them may offer you insight on presenting your explanation or they may offer something written or memo'd on their own website for you to share in your RFE. I too, received an RFE for my MC way back when and it was due to the CC sending me a PHOTOCOPY of the STAMPED MC. I didn't recognize it was a photocopy until after the fact. We'll just say I tore my CC new one. You could also have a really ####### adjudicator too that is simply picking your case apart because you sent an original and not a photocopy. Only your adjudicator could answer that. Able to does not mean eligible to. RFEs are generic. So is your online account. It's features are available across the board. Until USCIS issues proper instructions that state I485s are eligible to respond to RFEs electronically, I stand by my recommendation. Also, there are too many things that can go wrong and with this being the do or die stage before NOID, I'd feel better playing it safe. If you use the search bar you'll read some stories for sure. Your guess is as good as anyone's. Two of the exact same docs seems a bit redundant to me though. One or the other. The seal or stamp and them being able to see it is sealed or stamped is what counts. Does your original have a S or S? Photocopy that. No, it doesn't? Then it's not the original and only a decorative. Photocopy the certified copy instead. I stand by physically making a photocopy only though. You never know how bad of a day your adjudicator is having.

1. A Photocopy of the original MC or photocopy of the certified copy is the acceptable format. The instructions for any USCIS Form explicitly state to not submit original unless ASKED. 2. RFEs for I485 should be responded to physically by mail as they are paper filed. Remember that POSTMARKED date matters. That is the date considered. 3. Ensure USCIS has your correct address. Not receiving an RFE by mail when it's going to expire soon is a concern. You can use Ask Emma to confirm your address details on file. If you've moved since filing, an AR11 is legally required to be filed within 10 days (and an I865 for the US Sponsor also). BIGGIE: I'm concerned that you may be misunderstanding this RFE though as if you already submitted a photocopy of the original or photocopy of the certified copy of the MC as required in the instructions, why have you received an RFE? Did you submit the correct one? Did your photocopy clearly show the seal? Please explain so we can help further. It may not be as straightforward as you've assumed but we may be able to clear it up.

I agree with you completely but unfortunately we aren't at that point yet but I wish we were. It has to be the immigrant who makes these kinds of decisions though. It's THEIR mental state we are talking about here. They have to know how long they are expected to let life standstill. They must educate themselves. (I belong to many VAWA groups and the amount of immigration abuse that occurs is crazy simply because the immigrant did not educate themselves on THEIR process).

Not really but you can Google examples and create your own version that suits your extremely individual situation. Yes. No. Just the K1 visa page seperately. No. USCIS does not say you need to submit an original or certified copy of the original. Follow the form instructions. Instructions state clearly to submit photocopies unless ASKED for an original so a photocopy of the original or a photocopy of the certified copy is fine. (The BC? You can't. She'll have to order another one. Why did she provide CBP with her BC? They were to look at her Passport and visa and collect the sealed visa envelope only.) The sealed envelope goes from CBP to DHS and is stored in her A file until interview. I693 is not needed IF: 1. Her DS3025 Vaccination record is MARKED complete and IS complete. Review hers before you photocopy it for your I485 packet. 2. She FILES I485 within one year of the date she did her overseas medical. Apart from your individual USCIS adjudicator NOT understanding that (which happens at an alarming rate) and issuing an RFE LATER for an I693, if you can say yes to #1 and #2, it's not needed to submit with I485. Ensure you've read the I693 instructions, they do well at explaining how a K1 does not need an I693. Yes. Yes. See the USCIS Form Filing Tips webpage to learn what not to do. That's correct however if an emergency happens and she needs to work (ie. You pass away/ get sick and can't work) she can't without authorization. If she needs to leave the country, she won't be able to do that either. Or DRIVE in most states either. Check how long her I485 wait is currently and see if it's feasible to not apply for them BOTH. ALSO, I strongly suggest it be her decision as she will be the one stuck at home for up to 2 years without the rights to be an adult and consider how you'd feel if you were in her shoes. Again, if someone gets sick abroad, she won't be able to go. Emergency Parole may be available but only if it's a parent, sibling or child and it's usually only granted after they have already passed on.

If you go into the IRS website to download a transcript and select the reason from the drop down menu, it tells you which transcript you need. Please complete your VJ timeline.

I865 is filed within 10 days of moving by a US sponsor who has previously submitted an I864 for immigrants who still fall under their sponsorship. PLEASE fill out your BLANK VJ timeline so that others are not confused by your post ss it seems that you've made a grave error by not filling an I864 with your already submitted AOS packet. Your VJ timeline would have told us what stage you are at so no assumptions would have been made.

Historically, that notification simply means your case was touched. It doesn't have to mean anything will be actively worked on soon. Sorry to disappoint. Looking at your estimated timeline on the website for your LFO is your best bet. Set your expectation at that and hope it takes less.
