K1visaHopeful

If the DS3025 is marked complete, that's all you need. You completed the requirements AS THEY WERE IN THE MOMENT IN TIME of your medical exam. Changes in the future to the requirements have no effect.

That's the confusing part. The child of a USC (which you were when you applied for your K1) is eligible for an immigrant visa IR2 not a K2. The child would have entered as an LPR and derived citizenship directly from you provided you had lived in the US for 5 years (which would have been the case as that was your only eligible way to file for citizenship). You'd have applied for I130 for your child and completed the process just as your K2 did but be issued IR2 not K2. Am I missing some more details? Not unusual. Your K2 would not have an Alien number until their GC was approved. So either their GC was approved OR it has been recognized that your K2 should have been an IR2 and became an LPR upon entry. I honestly think they are totally confused by the K1/IR2 situation. All too confusing without a clear understanding on your end. Your best bet still is Ask Emma Live rep which aint happening at this hour of the night because the button to select Live Chat in the chat during non business hours doesn't exist. Yes for your "K2" as you have stated they have not been approved. Correct.

As far as I understand it, no. The child would have had to enter with an immigrant Visa as an LPR. So I485 seems to be the correct path. Once LPR, the K2 derives citizenship. Others can correct. I'm truly confused now though how a LPR filed an I129F for both a K1 and K2... because that's not possible.

Your wife was approved. Have you confirmed that the RFE was for your WIFE'S I485's application and not your SEPARATELY FILED I485 for your STEP???? child or is that actually your USC daughter which you did not have to file a K2 OR I485 for? Did you Ask Emma who the RFE was for and if it was for your WIFE, confirm that you had to do absolutely nothing because she was already approved? No that's not true. A K2 (if that's the case and she is your STEP DAUGHTER) needs to file their own AOS. Let's start and stop right there.

Just a heads up...you can see how many times a group member has helped in VJ by the number tally to the right of their user name. Calling experienced members out of their name is a wonderful way to get yourself blocked by the most helpful. JS.

Where was it indicated in your question and my response that an Alien number was required to FILE (ie. merely submit) I485? The I129F Noa2 Approval Notice is required for much more than that as Initial Evidence. It proves the sequence of eligibility to file I485 as a K1. You will see that mentioned a lot throughout VJ. Just because you received a receipt for I485 doesn't mean you won't get an RFIE or RFE for the I129F Noa2 Approval Notice. It all depends who is adjudicating your form and their knowledge about K1s who are a very small slice of the pie out of all AOS applicants. *so when/if that happens, you'll follow the route above (I824).

I131 does not have a box for MAILING ADDRESS. I131 will be mailed to your PHYSICAL ADDRESS. You must input your physical address. You cannot lie and input an address that you want it mailed to. Your I131 physical address will NOT be different than your I485 physical address. No MAILING ADDRESS for I131. You are not comprehending the situation. You input the actual facts of your mailing address and physical address on both forms WHERE APPLICABLE. MAILING ADDRESS is not applicable for I131. There is no MAILING ADDRESS BOX FOR I131 so how can you input a mailing address that's different than the mailing address you input on I485? You do not manipulate any information to make it "look better" or "seem less confusing". Nothing more, nothing less. Input the facts.

EAD allows you to work WHILE you wait for GC approval. What would be its purpose if you've been approved for the GC?

Correct. There is no mailing address for I131. You'll input your physical address on your I131. They will be because that's all you can enter for I131. You cannot input your mailing address as your physical address on the I131.

The actual question on the form states: NOTE: The term “children” includes all biological or legally adopted children, as well as current stepchildren, of any age, whether born in the United States or other countries, married or unmarried, living with you or elsewhere and includes any missing children and those born to you outside of marriage. No.

Not necessary. Yes. You DO want a REPLACEMENT card issued to you after EAD or GC approval if you have changed your name through marriage on your EAD/AOS forms. Also, your GC issued SSN card will be unrestricted not like your K1 or EAD which will be restricted. It's very important to get you UNRESTRICTED card. Your K1 SSN will come in your maiden name. Your EAD SSN will come in your Married name but will still be restricted. Your GC SSN will come in your married name but be UNRESTRICTED.

Separate copies of evidence for each form.

Your RFE was issued because the evidence you submitted is outdated. They are trying to avoid an interview. They want current evidence, so everything proving bona-fide marriage from when you submitted to now. That's all.

Correct. To swiften the process of getting an SSN as, unlike K1s, K2s are not eligible for an SSN without an approved EAD or GC. The website states EAD timelines at NBC are 8.5 months for 80%of all cases. More for the rest. Monitor your timeline on the website. No. If you applied for an SSN on either the EAD or AOS form, it will come automatically about two weeks after the approved benefit, whichever benefit comes first. Either I765 or I485. If you requested on both, you'll get the SSN after whichever is approved first. SSN is not required to receive HI coverage for immigrants not eligible to have an SSN. Until the immigrant receives their first immigration benefit making them eligible for SSN, your HIP cannot hound you. Ensure you are talking directly to your HIP and possibly a supervisor and never deal directly with your employers' HR. They are clueless.

Why do you need to get a new medical? Who says? You post says that YOU have concluded based on the answers on your DS3025 that your medical is not valid. That is not true. You only redo your medical when told to. Your post does not say in it that you have been told to redo your medical. Why have you made that HUGE and very UNNECESSARY assumption?

What are you referring to???? Your DS3025??? Your DS3025 will have waivers on it. Definitely does NOT mean you're DS3025 is not valid AT ALL. That's what a WAIVER IS. The bottom left will tell you of its complete. If it's marked complete, your waivers are valid and you don't need to redo your medical unless told by your adjudicator. That IS the process.

They are. Because it's a generic RFE. Not everything applies to you and its up to you to figure out what does based on your individual financial situation. You will IF you input the ANNUAL income listed on your EVL as your current income on the I864. If you did not, then you don't need 6 months paystubs because that info is irrelevant because you didn't use it on your form. Financial documents SUPPORT the amounts you entered on the form. You just don't submit evidence without relevance. 1099 is for SELF EMPLOYED individuals. If your sponsor is SE, you likely have more problems than you think with correctness of your form answers. Clarify and we can help more. Again, clarify directly by answering if you used tax reported income from the RT or the income from the EVL (which should have been displayed on your EVL as annual and not hourly).

Lots of members is an understatement. I864 is the most commonly misfiled form out of everything I've seen. I'd say there is a 50% success rate tbh. Mentioning what you sent or a copy of your coverletter showing what you sent with your I864 will be helpful. RFEs are not sent for no reason and although generic, sending everything that you already sent won't solve your problem. 6 month of paystubs are the recommended dose WHEN YOU submit a current Employment Verification Letter AND use the amount listed on it as your current income. Did you submit one AND use that amount? Employment statements (W2s) are REQUIRED if you submit a COMPLETE copy of your federal tax return (all pages and schedules) but SHOULD NOT be submitted if you submitted a Return Transcript INSTEAD. Highly doubtful. It's never sent for no reason. There is something wrong with your form and/or HOW you filled it out and/or the documents you provided. As above, RFEs are generic. Everyone gets the same one. It lists all of the possible errors for everyone. Doesn't mean you made all of them but you did AT LEAST make one of them so they cannot proceed any further. Lots of threads on the topic to research. Search under "I864 RFE." Then pull out your paper work and deduce your error(s).

I'm sorry, I can't offer specifics other than an RFE of this type could mean a lot was missed and as I can't see your documents nor do I know anything about your individual financial situations, it wouldn't be fair to guess. Like I said though....LOTS of threads on the topic to read through and determine what you need to do. I will say, less is more. Assets only if income doesn't meet guidelines. Never as an extra.

So your RFE has no questions on it like all RFEs that ask you to fill out the questions you missed? No? Ask Emma why your RFE is incomplete.

The last lines tell you exactly what to do. You are NOT to fill out a new form. You ARE to fill out the form they returned to you as instructed.

Rfes are generic. They don't pertain to your individual situation ever. "I864 RFE" in the search bar will be a good research tool for you to read through the many reasons why I864s are filled out wrong/incorrect documents and how to remedy it. It's nearly an impossible task to remedy without scouring the paperwork in person and comparing to all of the possible errors.

Self employed is always adjusted never gross. You mentioned 1099 so you have to use adjusted.

Did you submit an I864 for YOURSELF as the original sponsor? That is required regardless if you meet the financial poverty guidelines or not to be a sponsor. You ARE the original sponsor anyways and must fill out the form and provide your financial docs.

2 years minus 90 days from the 2 yr card expiry. So the actual date in 04/2025 minus 90 days. Not a day before that. I751 ROC
