    Don't need all the details from the visa on I-539. Just current non-immigrant status and expiration date (I'm thinking OP's friend probably put the June 2022 date)... and I94 number. I539 will probably be denied if it wasn't completed correctly/ he gave details of his Czech passport when he entered on this other passport. ... I should stop speculating though. It does no good.

    The great thing about the internet and this website is everyone can give their opinion and thoughts on a subject as long as we don't violate TOS. So, let's just agree to disagree 😉

    This post is from January 9, 2022. OP's mom has since applied for a visa and has an interview in 2023... I know quite a few people who get confused about rules for different countries. For example, many people think visa runs to Canada or Mexico are okay and a good way to reset your allowed time in the US. (spoiler- they aren't) Also, you can read this post...

    I don't feel comfortable suggesting your friend return to the US anytime soon... If he has a valid visa/esta then he can return but it is often suggested a person spends double the amount of time outside the US after a visit. So, if he stays for 6 months he should only return to the US after 1 year. He entered the US on one passport... but he forgot and showed you his other passport from another country? Then he applied for an extension on the passport he didn't enter on ?He also doesn't remember applying for a tourist or ESTA. No way to know when his current B1/B2 expires so he might not be allowed to return to the US without applying for another visa. Too many unknowns.

    She mentions she gave birth 2 months ago and wants her mom to come over to the US to help (in other words live with her???- you can disagree if you don't read the OP the same way)... she also doesn't mind how long the process takes. This might suggest she wants her mom to come over, stay and help her long term with the baby. In my country, parents help out with their grandchildren for many years. There are some countries where your parents can come on a visit visa and stay and then change to a visa that allows them to stay to look after your children (even if you are not a citizen of that country). So, just giving a heads up about the rules of the tourist visa in the US. Also. OPs previous post:

    Nope! A lot of people work two jobs at the same time ^^

    That would be a very bad idea. When you fill out ESTA or the DS-160 you are supposed mention all citizenships you hold. When you fill out the ESTA or DS-160 you are supposed to mention if you have ever overstayed. If he lies on any forms this is misrepresentation and could lean to a ban in the US. I would check his I-94 again. It should say his class of admission is. If he is on B2 it should state B2. If there is no stamp in his passport and no visa. I strongly advise he leaves the US before he has been in the US for more than 90 days. Did he enter on the Czech passport or the other nationality?

    How is it possible he does not remember going to a US Embassy for an interview? If he didn't do that he is probably on ESTA which means he should not stay in the country for more than 90 days. I would advise he leaves the US. Be aware he cannot go to Mexico or Canada with the intention of returning to the US as visits to those countries count towards his allowed time in the US. I would add... the extension for I-539 could be denied if they think his reason for staying is not valid. And it takes many months to receive approval. So, he is at risk of overstaying if he stays longer than the 6 months you think he might have.

    1.) Where is your friend from? Is he Canadian by any chance? 2.) Did he go for an interview or did he apply for a visa online? 3.) What is his reason for filing the i-539? There is a chance it could be denied.
  10. Redro
    Interview is not included. This is just for the USCIS stage. Be aware it is 13.5 months. If you put in your case number you'll find out when you're allowed to file an inquiry...
  11. Redro
    You do not have to include proof of employment history I believe. So, just list each job separately.
  12. Redro
    I would try to crop the photo with passport stamps so the bedsheet doesn't show or take photo on white background. You do not need to include PayPal transactions. The evidence you've got so far sounds good enough. And the existing financial evidence (authorized user/ insurance) is solid. You've spoken about sections but how many pages total are you planning on submitting?
  13. Redro
    The questions he was asked seem standard. A marriage should be built on trust so if you do not trust him I suggest you break off the engagement. Remember he only has a visa right now. The only way he can legally stay in the US after arriving on the K1 is through marrying you. No marriage means no basis for adjustment.
  14. Redro
    Were you married before? Do you have children? I've read USCIS is double checking on Nigerian cases where the beneficiary was married. They might take some time to double check you are in fact divorced from the first wife... Another member just went through the process and I believe it took about 6 months before they received the visa. If you have never been married and don't have children you'll just have to wait while they go through regular security checks. You can write what the paper says if you cannot attach the file.
  15. Redro
    Congratulations on getting your NOA2. But, if you filed before you met after marriage you are not out of the woods. A lot of people get past the USCIS and NVC stage but then during interview the documents and timeline are questioned. Following this case with interest.
  16. Redro
    If your husband is at the same job he should receive his severance even if he doesn't complete a full contract. Unless he is at a job where they pay you the 13th check at the end of every contract...
  17. Redro
    You should invite your partner to join us on VJ. I do not believe being in the military with no pending orders results in an expedite. You will have to wait your turn like everyone else. Did you get married during the first visit and are looking to file now or are you just trying to figure what you need to do when the time comes? If you're planning to file I highly recommend filing online.
  18. Redro
    Best bet is to file online. Common practice if completing forms and mailing them in is to write N/A in any places that do not apply to you. If your spouse is military and currently stationed abroad (and you live with them) and you're moving back to the US they can file DCF. Some places like Germany only need the USC to reside in Germany. If your spouse is moving abroad and they want you to join you might be able to expedite the case if you file with USCIS. ETA: Have you met your girlfriend yet?

    OP stated "confusing instructions". They might not have submitted anything to NVC yet. Ah~ looked through old post history and they re-submitted to NVC November, 3. 2021. @Megcr it would be helpful if you attach the most recent RFEs you received from NVC.

    Which account does he have savings in? A US bank account or his HK bank account? If he has over $10 000 in a foreign bank account he should be filing FBARs. If he is really not earning any money. He needs to upload a statement explaining why he doesn't have to file taxes. If you are using assets you should upload proof of the assets. ETA: As you plan to use assets you will receive a generic message suggesting a joint sponsor. You can line one up if you want... or go to the interview with proof of assets and the CO at interview will tell you if you require a joint sponsor.
  21. Redro
    Okay~ sorry to misunderstand your initial post. They will probably suggest a joint sponsor. When members use assets in place of income for I-864 a generic message suggesting a joint sponsor is placed in the comments but the case is still DQ'ed. Your case might get the same message as your husband will indicate $0 income for 2021/2020 and 2019. You should be okay as current income is the most important factor. The CO will make the final decision at the interview. ETA: I see your case is at Vermont. You should prepare yourself for a 8-9+ month wait at USCIS. There is a small chance you receive NOA2 in 2022. But, it will probably only happen in 2023.
  22. Redro
    If your husband worked in another country he still has to file his US taxes. He should file his 2021 tax returns, indicate how much he earned in 2021 in the foreign country and add the 2555 so he doesn't have to pay tax in the US. He should also probably file taxes for 2020 and 2019. Get that sorted out ASAP. They might request a joint sponsor if he shows $0 earnings for 2021, 2020 and 2019. Or they might decide to DQ your case and the CO will make the decision at the interview. If your husband has W2s from his company he will be able to use the I-864EZ if he only has paystubs he should complete the I-864.

    @Emmah1979 you should update your profile as it states "EB-1" not IR-1/CR-1. Maybe also see if you can update your timeline as it reflects your the petition with your ex from 2017.
  24. Redro
    Yes. The decision should be between a woman and her doctor. https://www.npr.org/2019/04/30/718546468/opponents-fight-efforts-to-protect-late-term-abortion-rights https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/fact-sheet/abortions-later-in-pregnancy/ Just as people posit abortions won't decrease with new restrictions in place. I posit abortions won't increase with no restrictions. Women aren't going to run out to the nearest clinic or hospital to secure their termination of pregnancy at 31-35 weeks just because they can.

    Where are you right now? The US or the UK? IF you are in the US what visa are you on? You can only work in the US if you receive a work permit and that is currently taking 8 months in most places. Getting married to a US citizen does not automatically confer any immigrant or work benefits. Check out the guides: US citizen in the US and Spouse overseas US Citizen and Spouse both in the US
