Hello everyone, 

quick question for you guys.

i am now filing my AoS (form I 485) together with :

• form I 864(Affidavit of Support
•  Form I 765(EAD)
• form I 131(travel document)

i am confused whether I should attach documents like: copy of my passport, my birth certificate, my 94 form, passport pics, I-129F approval notice, copy of marriage certificate etc ADDITIONALLY for every form? One one hand I realize it’s unnecessary, since I file all these forms together. On the other, what if they’ll get separated and will be sent to different departments.

i would appreciate all of you sharing how you figured it out.

thank you!

Also, mostly for anyone else wondering about this, the instructions say they only want tax returns if you have self employment income. Since your fiance has self employment income then he should include the return.

A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions with deposits, identifying the following details regarding the account: (1) Date account opened; (2) Total amount deposited for the past year; and (3) Present balance. B. Statement(s) from your employer on business stationery showing: (1) Date and nature of employment; (2) Salary paid; and (3) Whether the position is temporary or permanent. C. If self-employed: (1) Copy of last income tax return filed; or (2) Report of commercial rating concern. D. List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).

Thank you so much, he doesn’t have any tax returns and we can’t wait until he can file one, so it was a grand relief to discover it’s only needed for the self employment income. We freaked out we wouldn’t have enough ‘proof’, although the earning level is well above poverty guideline. 

Hello everyone,

If anybody can help me with these financial requirements, it would be great.

So, My fiance has never filed for a tax return or done any taxes. 2017 was the first year that he has worked enough to file for a tax return. He has been working at a place A(the only place the govt knows about) since April of 2017. During the summer of 2017 he worked in two other places for which he can show 1099s.(he doesn’t work there anymore, only at a place A). Because he traveled some and worked a lot as an independent contractor/self employer he only made $12,000 last year as seen on his w2. This year he will be working full time at the place A, and he has gotten a good raise. He also teaches tennis lessons privately and takes in income from that, which can be seen on his bank statement. He can show his last two pay stubs and his letter from his employer, he just doesn't have any tax returns to show.

Will this affect his proof of income? What should we bring as evidence of income and financial security If we do not have any tax files to show? 

I appreciate greatly any help.

Guys, what’s going on with NVC??? I saw 3 cases around mine (noa 2 Jan 11th) and they ALREADY have their case numbers. That means, 13-16 days. Is it even possible they picked up SO much pace?

Hello Junies, 

Could anyone tell me if I can already schedule the medical and start collecting documents like I-130 and Police certificate and stuff? My NOA 2 was Jan 11th. I would think it's too early but my embassy is like the least busiest, so I figured that -+ 40 days for NVC and 2 weeks while they process the petition/send it to the embassy/give me the interview date is not that big amount of time. The medical expires in 6 months. I don't know why I can't start collecting all of that now, but maybe I should wait more? 

Please do not despair dear May and June filers. You are strong and there is less waiting every day.
 

Sorry if I don’t understand something, but there was no Full Day Scan for Jan 10 at all today?

although there doesn’t seem to be much sense in them now anyway lol

As long as you are abiding by the laws of your state and you meet the other requirements (financial and meeting within 2 years) you should be fine.  You will need to prove it is a bona fide relationship but with the proper preparation you should be good.

Thanks John. Sometimes it seems to me that their goal is to deny more people and they are willing to use any possibility to do it. 

Wish you to get this letter in your mailbox today or tomorrow. This week is promising.

Hello to everyone, 

does anyone think that us being really young (I’m 18 and my fiancé is 19) can pose hurdles to our approval, and lead to a denial? In his state it’s allowed to marry at 16, but I still think our age might affect our visa. Thank you.

Bliss to all

Hello to everyone.
I'm really confused about the situation with June 6th filers. Does anybody know or have a clue wha't wrong? It's just weird for me how one single date is affected that much. I mean, 06/06 are not the most "angelic" numbers, but If anyone could shed some light for me regarding this matter,  I would appreciate it.

Wish fast approval and smooth process to everyone, hang in there.

Theres really no secret sequence you have to do. Just listen to the menu and pick the one that says you already filed and have a question about a petition. And you have to ask key questions for them to transfer you. I asked these 3 questions everytime because i knew they couldnt answer it and they transferred me 3 times without any problems

1. Has my case been assigned to an officer?

2. Has there been a name check on it yet?

3. Has the background check been done on it yet?

 

after you ask those, they will respond with "i cannot see that information" then just say you want to speak to a level 2 to get those questions answered. Hope that helps, good luck

Thank you! I hope it will definitely work.

Guys, hello to all!

We are calling USCIS soon and I wanted to ask you all if anyone can give me the link to that story that one guy/girl posted on some website or blog. There was their story regarding talks with Tier 2 officer, specifically how to get to them (there was a whole process of dialing a special number sequence and stuff), lots of steps but obviously very useful. I need to find it as I lost it. Please help me.

Searched through all the topics but nothing. Any help highly appreciated!

no no, thie tier2 is not assigned himself but can tell you if any other officer is
but simply wait some more. Right now cases take around 150 days to approved so you're doing pretty fine so far

Okay got it. Thank you much for the information. Have patience until you have your interview, good luck!

Hello my friend! The huge issue is , sometimes them just say = They are looking April fillers! so my advice is if you have more than 150 days, you should to send a letter or e-mail from your Senator or Congreesmen

Good luck

Thank you! That’s exactly what we’re going to do soon. This stuff needs to be acted upon. Good luck to you too.

This website can tell you more id assume... Id estimate 5-6 more weeks for you. We are May 26th K1 filers and are about a week out.

Your timeline tells you have to wait at least until Nov 8. And i’d  not be that pessimistic with so many weeks haha

I've read somewhere here that it's almost impossible to get to the tier 2 now as the uscis is overwhelmed now. Moreover, you're still good with dates. It's been 4 and a half months yet. I'd wait for another couple weeks to call them and if you're able to get ahold of him, just ask if the officer is assigned to the case, if everything is okay and if the approval is coming soon (that's what I'd asked). Good luck and be patient. We got into a bad time period where the amount of petitions doubled.

Oh, so this tier 2 officer is assigned to some cases? I thought he simply informs everyone on their cases if they require such info from him and if they are close in time to their approval.

Thank you a lot, and good luck with your case too.

Hello guys, 

I need a piece of advice from you fellow k1 filers. I saw a lot of posts regarding talks with Tier 2 officer and how everyone strives to get to him. Apparently he can provide more information? I want to understand what he might tell us as we filed in late June and we wanted to call to find out where we are. What kind of information can he tell us?

Thanks a lot for your help and good luck to everyone awaiting this day X in their lives.
