Good one! Thanks for the clarification!

I am also trying to be straightforward here. The i130A form must be filled and submitted regardless if the beneficiary lives abroad or here in the United States, you both sign it only if you both are living here in the United States. Now, in regards to busy parents with kids, I believe this is what lawyers or people who know their stuff are here for. I personally wouldn't try to fill out the forms on my own if I knew I won't have the time to read and learn, this can create delays in the entire process. In my case, I did all the paper work for my parents to come here to the United States, for my wife and kid because 1: I couldn't afford a lawyer and 2: because I had enough time and was willing to learn.

I believe you are over thinking your situation. Pardon me if I am wrong, I could be wrong but I believe that if your current medical condition has nothing to do or is not related to drug abuse, mental or physical disorder with a history of harmful behavior or Infectious diseases that might pose a risk to the general public. You don't have nothing to worry about. Now, regarding the vaccines that are required before entering the United States I believe there isn't much you can do here, you need to go to your medical examination, explain your situation regarding the vaccines and they will determine which vaccines you need based on your current medical situation, records, and also based on the requirements from US Embassy in your home country in order to grant you the immigrant visa. If the medical examination determines that you need some vaccines before the visa interview and you still for some medical or personal reasons cannot take these vaccines then this will be a problem, most likely they will denie the visa. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks! I will make sure to use priority mail for returning the GC, great tip, thanks! We don't have any travel plans or need for proof for permanent resident for now but we will definitely use the passport stamp if needed. Also, can i make info pass appointment in case passport stamp expires and proof of permanent resident is needed? Or i90 receipt together with color copy of 2 year GC is good enough?

Yes i made a digital and hard copy of the 2 year green card. Both color copies. I still don't understand how USCIS can get it wrong and won't follow their manual. I called USCIS 2 times and spoke to a level 2 officer before paying for the green card and before the Green Card showed as produced and i though for a moment that perhaps we will be getting the right green card but not, 2 year GC was sent out to us :(

Yes, i read the instructions as well and i guess the best way to do this is to file by regular mail and send the GC along with it. That's why i asked if there was a benefit in filling online and wait for the RFE. Thanks again for your response. I guess getting my wife state ID was a smart move, since we will be returning her green card soon.

Hi, Thank you for the response. Can you please tell me more about not sending the actual physical green card when filling i90? I was about to send the physical 2 year green card along with a cover letter explaining that my wife had her consular interview just few days before our 2 year marriage celebration, therefor her immigrant visa showed as CR1 but she entered the United States with her immigrant visa about 1 month after our 2 year marriage. I already took my wife to a local motor vehicle and applied for state ID, my wife does not have a need to travel in the future, even if she does, i guess she can still use her passport stamp that serves as 1 year resident. Other than that, do you think is better to file i90 online and keep the 2 year gc until they send a RFE? Thanks

Just quick update regarding my wife's green card. Today after 6 weeks of waiting for the green card to arrive we finally received. And guess what? We received the 2 year green card instead of the 10 year green card, even though my wife arrived to the USA 1 month after our 2 year marriage. Looks like USCIS is still making mistakes and they still follow whatever the CBP (port of entry) writes upon arrival to the united states. In this case, CBP did not want to listen to us and decided to process my wife as conditional resident, instead of permanent resident. I guess my only option now is to file for i90, correct? Can i expedite this i90 process? I already took my wife to local motor vehicle and apply for a state ID because we will be returning this green card soon.

Hi, I am originally from Peru living here in the United States as a US Citizen. Last year, I submited the i-130 form for my wife who is currently in Peru and the petition just got approved last month and now I am in the process of filling out the i-864 affidavit forms. My personal situation: I am a physical disabled individual, never worked before and my only source of income is SSI $950 a month (Suplemental Security Income), no other income and not personal assets. I am not required to file taxes and I asked my niece who is also a US Citizen to be my wife's sponsor. Last year, 2022 was my niece's (sponsor) first time filling taxes and she made around 50K. Question 1: Can my niece be good enough to be my wife's sponsor with one year only of income tax? She is still employed and currently working. Question 2: Form i-864 for myself (the petitioner) Part 5: Question 7 My current individual annual income. Is this referring to work income only? or should I add my SSI monthly payments? Question 3: Form i-864 for myself (the petitioner) Part 6: Question 20 My current annual household income is: Should I add my monthly SSI payments? Does SSI payments counts as annual household income? Question 4: Form i-864 for my niece (the sponsor) Part 6: 23.A Have you filed a federal income tax return for each of the three most recent tax years? I answered to this question NO because my niece only has one year of income tax. Did I answered this correctly? Question 5: Form i-864 for myself (the petitioner). I am not required to file taxes and my SSI payments are below the poverty line. 1: Should I include my social security statement where it shows all the years that I never report income? 2: or should I attach my social security benefit verification letter where it shows my current SSI payments? Filling out this form is very important for me since I don't have the money to hire a lawyer and I have a special need to have my wife here with me.
