  2. no matter what country and u don't need a tourist visa Coming to the US on a visitor visa with the sole intention of getting married in the US and then filing for adjustment of status is deemed to be visa fraud, and US immigration officers do not take kindly to anyone they perceive has committed visa fraud.

  4. u can renew 6 months to a year before it expires BUT check the Canadian processing times as u need the new passport back before February 20th https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/processing-times.html#service When should you renew your passport? When applying for an adult Canadian passport, you can select whether you'd like it to be valid for 5 or 10 years. Once this time is up or near up (within six months – 1 year of expiring), it's time to renew your passport.
  5. Exclusion amount. For 2023, the maximum exclusion amount has increased to $120,000 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i2555.pdfeither MFJ or MFS is up to u /run the numbers Do I need my spouses Social Security number to file taxes separately A spouse who is Married Filing Separately is not required to provide the Social Security card for the other spouse, although the return cannot be e-filed without the spouse's Social Security number.

  6. Computer generated messages when info is received and fed to a computer 1st is received the case is received 2nd USICS office has the case and it is now in a computer Many members are able to file N400 before I 751 is even really reviewed things that can happen" Notices of RFE for more info OR Case is being sent to another office (hopefully this is to combined the I 751 when u file N400 ) but in some cases its for # of cases in 1 office and overload What happens when a case is transferred and a new office has jurisdiction? The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) case status “Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction” means that USCIS moved your case to a different service center or field office. The new office will continue processing your case from there.Feb 6, 2023 worked on during these holidays?? this time of year not only do officers have numerous days off scheduled but many are told if "you have vacation time , take it or loose it as it doesn't carry thru to next year" Immigration is a "hurry up and wait and wait and wait " process for any petition so don't look day to day or week to week or even month to month for an update. Instead enjoy your days and get immigration out of daily worries BTW the N400 appears to be the fastest of any of these petitions Best to u both
  7. Affidavits are not required to instructions page 2 NOTE: If you submit original documents when not required or requested by USCIS, your original documents may be immediately destroyed upon receipt. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-129finstr.pdf
  8. Department of state says always refer to USCIS and DOS Be aware that USCIS also has regulations about translations of civil documents. The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations on Aliens and Nationality has the following paragraph: (3) Translations. Any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS shall be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator’s certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. https://www.state.gov/global-community-liaison-office/naturalization-of-foreign-born-spouses/expeditious-naturalization-application-materials-and-information/
  9. When was your case DQ'd at NVC stage? U can hit the word portal above and read posts from other members going thru Ghana
  10. I didn't boosters were needed i said they are free and its a good idea to have one for their own protection
  11. You have your visa in hand and will come end of January 2024 CBP no longer checks for covid When u get here, have the covid booster for your own protection/ its free
  12. Proof is not a "say so" like a letter the CO wants actual proof copy of the deed to the house if u plan to live there copy of bank record to show when she opened account and she still uses it to deposit money and pay US bills copy of current state driving license waiting to travel with you is not important to CO you will both have a long wait even after supplying embassy with what they want./ the CO should have said what they will acceptan BUT u being from Pakistan will go thru additional long security checks (read post from other Pakistan members by going to that portal) Lovestoteach is still waiting for her husband to be approved . He also interviewed in another country not his own Pakiistan
  13. The international railway crossing bridges in Eagle Pass and El Paso were closed "in order to redirect personnel to assist the U.S. Border Patrol with taking migrants into custody," CBP said in a statement.15 hours ago
  14. K3 is obsolete I go by USCIS rules When i applied for K1 , I read and reread the K1 procedure In 2021 the I 693 was extended but now in 2023 its back to the old ways https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-temporarily-extending-validity-period-of-form-i-693 The civil surgeon’s signature is dated no more than 60 days before the applicant filed Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status; If you are applying for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident with USCIS (also known as applying for a Green Card), please file Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, together with Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Doing so may eliminate the need for us to issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) and helps avoid adjudication delays.
  15. yes send me private message on my profile
  16. depends on how complete it was done in your country/ u were in control and if u had gotten all the vaccines , USCIS could have said no I 693 needed and your case will go no further till the office gets your I 693
  17. this is the very reason the USC is suppose to show he/she can afford health care insurance once u r in the US and, yes, old user knows about K1 / we all see the process/ nothing new here / abide by all requests from immigration the panel doctors have an agreement with USCIS By choosing K1, u have chosen the most expensive way to have a visa and marriage to USC you can consider this appointment as your yearly physical and BTW u will be billed separately for blood work and shots that are required Why a yearly exam? sometimes it is required by work but drs in US only write needed prescriptions for a year so if u take something on a regular basis, u need that yearly exam to know how insurance works in US , the physican bills the health care provider who usually has an agreement to write off part of it and then they pay the agreed on amount /so u can understand the future medical exam according to the plan u choose , u may or may not have to pay Your annual physical exam is a preventative appointment that health insurance plans typically provide for free annually. However, you may have to provide a co-pay or pay out-of-pocket for screenings, lab tests, and shots not covered or only partially covered.Jul 5, 2023
  18. you met the visa requirements that was issued in August you arrived 20th of September and that is your new status (good as LPR for a year while waiting for the actual green card)
  19. common law partner a USC? u must answer any question asked of u truthfully
  20. You do not have to return home when doing the AOS Matter of fact, u r not suppose to travel outside the US you will get the receipt notice to use while u adjust BUT don't leave Read the guides above to Adjust status or USCIS site https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/adjustment-of-status
  21. i think this is the hardest part No news day after day, month after month and immigration does not really keep up the sites for notications
  22. CO understands and knows the quality of life for sickle cell You need to know it and understand what it means for u and your wife and the quallity of your marriage CO's not only think of the USC but are suppose to protect both. In this case , u may see a NOID that states ,, the USC expects u to be her caregiver or a similiar statement. https://www.google.com/search?q=life+expectancy+for+sickle+cell&rlz=1C1JPGB_enUS833US833&oq=life+expectancy+for+sickle+cell&aqs=chrome..69i57.12996j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 No matter what u think is right, a CO can deny a visa for anything that raises a red flag issue 1. marrying on the 1st visit 2. income is not sufficient / embassies can even reject a joint sponsor Again, your wife is the one who has to come up with the chats for 4 years and the joint sponsor with limited time to do this so she should join here and get advice and let us know if she will continue the process for the visa. Many USC's do not. I applied K1 in 2009 , denied married 2010 and we finally got our visa in 2015 after 5 trips to Morocco spending 9 months there
  23. A. No. Form I-9 rules instruct employers not to reverify a lawful permanent resident who initially presented an unexpired Permanent Resident Card, even when the card expires. Employers that request documents when not required, based on a worker’s citizenship status, may violate the INA’s anti-discrimination provision. If your employer reverifies your employment eligibility after you presented an unexpired Permanent Resident Card, contact IER. https://www.justice.gov/crt/iers-frequently-asked-questions-faqs#lpr
  24. If you are refused a visa under section 214(b), it means that you: Did not sufficiently demonstrate to the consular officer that you qualify for the nonimmigrant visa category you applied for;
  25. https://www.canadim.com/work/#:~:text=Closed work permits are tied,they change their work permit. check the Canadian site for all that information Closed work permits are tied to specific employers, this means that a foreign national issued a closed work permit must remain working with the same employer at the same location unless they change their work permit.
