don't bring any family members unless they are part of the petition

My wife and daughter got their biometrics done last week. Me and my toddler wasn't part of the petition, but we went in with them. We had no one to baby sit and i couldn't stay in the car with the toddler. There was no complaints. All went well. We are looking forward to an upcoming interview. 

Safe to say Go with the babies.

Pray this helps.

Goodluck to everyone in this process.

sorry I miss worded it, the embassy has contacted me through email instructing me to send my passport to them as my visa is ready 

what I am confused about is that 

 

online it says refused and after the interview they gave a paper that said refused. I submitted the extra papers they wanted and was contacted through email from the embassy instructed to send my passport in as the visa is ready. 

However I sent it on the 7 October and the case was updated again on 14 October still saying refused. 

 

Im just very confused as what is happening and no one can give me a clear answer 

 

 

Hello amy,

This situation can be nerve wrecking..My Sister in law just went through that..Its a new process they do at the embassies now. Once they print out the visa u will be fine.Good luck.

Hi,

 

We are ready to send out our AOS application for my K1. We want to make sure that we have everything. This is what we have in our folder so far (in that particular order):

 

 

- Check to USCIS

 

- Cover letter

 

- Copy of:

       1) USC passport page
       2) Copy of immigrant passport page
       3) Copy of marriage certificate
       4) 2 passport photos (immigrant)

 

- I-130 form: Petition for Alien Relative (since we are filing after the K1 visa expired)

 

- I-485 form: Adjustment of Status

 

- I-864 form: Affidavit of Support, in addition to copies of:

                    1) Letter of employment

                    2) Bank Statement

                    3) Most recent pay stubs

                    4) W2's from last 3 years

 

- I-765 form: Employment Authorization

 

- I-131 form: Advanced Parole

 

(No I-944 form since I was informed that it has been discontinued)

 

Is there anything that we are missing?

 

Thank you for your help and suggestions in advance.

 

 

Everything looks great. Except for the i130..

Remember to include your most recent Tax Transcript..received an RFE and haven't heard from them since they received the rfe. GoodLuck

Hi @TrustWorthy2019 Sorry, thank you for asking.
So we are filling for an AOS IR-1 / CR-1. So a green card for me through US citizen (my partner).
I am currently in the US on a F-1 visa (student) and we have to file the main forms I-485 & I-130 plus the additional travel and work authorization forms (I-131 & I-765). So now I know the fees for I-131 & I-765 get waived when you file them together with the I-485. Question: Do you also have to pay the I-130 fees when filling the total application?

And if so. Can you add all those fees together on one payment authorization form 

Ok, got it now.. since its two forms and different payments .i will say you are allowed to add another G-1450 form for the i130..

Hi All,

So grateful for this community. 

Two fees related questions for AOS:

1) I know that the fees for the I-485 for a person ages 14-78 is $1,140, plus $85 for the biometric fee, and the I-131 and I-756 have no fee when submitted with the I-485. However, do you have the pay the fee for the I-130 (spouse sponsorship) of $535? 

2) Do you have to pay all those fees (I-485, biometric, and possibly I-130) with separate G-1450 forms (payment authorization), or can you add all the amounts together on one G-1450 form? 

 

 

Hi @Ditte,i think you will get a better answer if your question is well phrased? Are you filling for adjustment of status after a k1 visa? Or what are you trying to do. If its AOS after K1 visa..All you need to pay for on the G-1450 form is the AOS $1140...and the other forms are free..the I130 form is not needed in this case. 

N.B:- responding from the little i could make from your post.

Stay Blessed and good luck

Need help. How can someone know if NVC has received their case after being sent to NVC. Do you call NVC or u wait until you receive the welcome letter from NVC?  Thanks. 

@Nde & A  @Luckycuds Got the right response to your question. Its all about the waiting game now. Wishing you guys the best.

Thank you. So The forms you mentioned were all "OR" not must. 

 

You need to submit the I-797 NOA from the original K1/K2 petition.; this form is what apply to the Childs AOS case. 

 

What did you put for "part 2 application type/filing type" 

 

You need to submit the I944 and I864. You said you filed the I864 with the first RFE but did you submit the I944. 

 

Please review everything very closely; USCIS has the ability to reject/deny applications and does not need to send out a RFE. You've already received 2 and IMO are playing Russian roulette. 

In the part 2 application i had all of the above u mentioned, I944 and I864. I think my mistake was being fast to respond without the new I797 from my wife's AOS. i received it about 3weeks after the rejected that of my child.

Thank you.

A k2 cannot adjust without the k1 going first or at the same time.  You did not provide evidence that the k1 is adjusting.   You needed to include the I797 from the k1 i485 as well

Thank you very much exactly my thought. It took them a long time to send out the I797 for the K1 after it was accepted. I'll put the paper together today and mail out tomorrow. I already made a copy of the Recent I797. 

My next question is, can i add the new I797 to the package and resend or reprint all new forms?

I appreciate the clarification.

Thanks

I think you are incorrect as the forms USICS wants don't apply to a AOS child however I will ask... Did you include forms I-130, I-140 and I-360?!

 

It may be best for you to upload the RFE, marking out personal information, to obtain a correct answer.

Greetings to All,

     I mailed out the AOS for my K1(Wife) and K2(Child) sometime in May and That of my Wife was accepted and that of My child was rejected due to no Affidavit of support. I had one copy of the affidavit of Support for both. So that of my child was rejected.

     I resubmitted the k2(child) AOS in june and i had every piece of paper work to the best of my knowledge. Unfortunately i just received a rejection again. The Notice states Provide  forms I-130,I-140,I-360, Copy of I-797.

I did include a copy o NOA2 I-797 from the K1 Approval. 

At this point i dont know if they need the I797 from the accepted AOS from my wife or the I797 from the k1&k2

Also incase i get the actual document , can i resend the package as received with the additional document or reprint the whole package all over.

I will appreciate any help at this point.

Thanks

This is the exact reason why each application MUST stand alone and not share any documents or evidence 

Pls i dont understand your response.

Damn I signed her form but didn’t write mother next to it. I had Said in another box I was the preparer of the form. Let’s hope there’s no more issues haha!! I can’t change now as the form is with UPS. 😖😃

Hello, this whole process is somewhat overwhelming. Our petition was rejected on the basis there was an issue with the signature for my daughter who is 5. I did sign as preparer and it was rejected. And as the letter states. As parent , you are eligible to sign for your child who is 14 and below in the signature box and not as preparer. 

So this time around i signed in the main box but made another mistake of filing just one I864. I thought it will be for both wife and daughter since filing at same time. Haven't heard from them since 2weeks ago. Our fingers are crossed while waiting.

Hi guys,

 

I got my daughter's rejection package back today.

 

I have a quick question:

When I file my daughter I-485, do I need to make a separate I-864 form for my daughter?

I submitted 2 of I-485 form (1 for me and 1 for my daughter); 2 of I-944 form (1 for me and 1 for my daughter) but only 1 of I-864 form (got information of us both in it) in my package the first time. And they accepted only my application and reject my daughter's. Is missing I-864 the reason of the rejection?

 

Any idea? Any advices would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hello, this whole process is definitely a nightmare.Its so hard to understand what uscis actually wants. Sorry you are going through this. 

I just mailed out my wife and daughter, same way you did. With just one I864. I guess they will reject my daughter's application too.

How old is your daughter?

Our daughter is 5.(the reason why we thought just one I864 is better)

I made some findings and many people suggested if filing together. Its ok to have just one i864.

Stay strong.

We all will get through this one day.

If both AOS are sent at the same time, you only need one Affidavit. You're gonna include the k2 name in there and make sure you add it to the household size.

 

Pretty much all forms were updated on Feb 24, so if you download any form before that, you're using an old version. Don't forget the new I-944.

Thank you very much. I did just that now. She is added to the household size..Thank u again i appreciate.

Hello All, for couple of days i have been going crazy trying to figure out how to get this paper work together after Notice of Rejection.

My question is For  k1 and k2 AOS can i use one set of i 864 affidavit for both petitions or 1 for k1 and 1 for k2? Did anyone notice the change in EAD form? the dates are seems to be confusing.

Thanks and Lets All Stay Safe.

I will say again.   Update the forms as needed and resubmit the prior evidence even if they have already reassembled your evidence differently and even if they have printed numbers or codes on it.  

Thank you very much.

You need to sign in both places.  

Ok, payxibka Thank you very much for your speedy response.

Just to be clear about sending back same evidence.

we mailed out 

i485 (outdated)

i 131

i 765

i 864

But the rest of the forms and evidence got scanned codes on the bottom. Can we still use them?

3 minutes ago, payxibka said:

1.  Yes several people 

2.  Yes, just fix the form, use same evidence 

3.  Not error 

Hello payxibka Thanks very much for your quick response.

So all i need to do is get the updated copy and complete.Then submit with the rest of the evidence?

Also they had an I-797 on my daughter's I485 stating "parent or guardian needs to sign in the signature box". So i am confused now. because the package i sent out i did sign as the preparer.

I recently mailed out AOS for my Wife and Daughter after marriage to K1. 2weeks down i just received the whole package with a rejection notice. "Stating i filed the wrong I-485."I did download the most recent I-485 07/31/2021 from the uscis website a week before mailing it out but it turns out they rolled in an updated version which expires 10/31/2021 same week i when i mailed it out. Long story i got my whole package back which really hurts...

1) My question is has anyone been through this before?

2) Did  get the most updated form and mail back the same copies? or printout all new copies? Reason being they have a green form on the package asking me to place it on the package when am resubmitting the the package. And on the bottom of the page they have codes running on the bottom?

3) Also i signed my daughter's i485 as the preparer. i dont know if thats another error right there.

I will be glad to get any information to help us through this process.

Wishing everyone the Best.

You do not have to be citizen for 5 years to transfer citizenship; as long as you were present in the US for 5 years, and are a US citizen, the citizenship will transfer. You have to file a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) with the Embassy/consulate there.

I agree with this! Your child should be eligible for citizenship as of now. If you have been present in the US for 5years before your citizenship..All you have to do is fill up the paper work for Certificate of birth abroad..

Thank you for that info. I have tried changing flights and they won’t change or give refund. They said cancel non refundable and purchase a new ticket...

tickets to UK aren’t cheap these days! 

3 months is doable to wait, I just didn’t want to wait another year. Is that possible?

Ya thats true! Flights to UK arent't cheap these days for real. I know of a friend who had to respond to his swearing in due to graduation on same day of sweating in and it took him another 2-4months to get his swearing In and thats for the Virginia Area and they are populated around there. As for interview not sure about it, but do not think it will be another year of waiting. Pick your best shot and go for it. Good Luck.

Hi everyone, 

I just received my naturalization interview! YAY! 
but....The first time I have visited home in 4 years is the week in which they have scheduled it for

If I do as the letter says and send it back and request a new date does anyone have any idea on what the new scheduled interview wait time will be?

I don't want to wait another year for an interview...

Thanks in advance, 

Rachel

Best option is to re schedule your flight to another date.If you request a new date for interview It might take another 2-3months. Congratulations tho!
