Hello everybody,

I have a question regarding cosponsor: my father in law who is going to help us with the financial requirements of the process doesnt live physically with us, but he claimed my partner as his dependant on his last tax returns. 

I am confused whether we should have him do another i864 as a joint sponsor or if we should do a i864A considering him as a household member whose income is going to be combined. 

I think he should be a joint sponsor but i dont know if we would still have to include his income as part of our household considering he has claimed my partner on his tax return the previous years. 

I would appreciate your help! 

Thanks

Hello everybody and thanks for your help.9

So i just realized on my marriage licence (which is going to be the certificate) they only got on my "full name" my first name and paternal last name, but on my passport, k1 visa and SS Card  it is shown as my full name: my first name, middle name, paternal and maternal last name.

I am working in AOS documents and I want to make it match with my passport and visa information (I am not changing my last name), do you think it will be a problem if the marriage licence / certificate dont match quite exactly with the other documents?. This is what it would look like: 

• Passport / k1 visa / SScard: first name, middle name, paternal last name, maternal last name (I am considering this info for AOS forms)
• Marriage licence / certificate: first name, paternal last name

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot! 

Hello everyone,

I have a question, I am currently gathering documents to submit with AOS and  after reading different threats I am confused, If I have gone through a medical exam abroad already in order to get my K1 visa and have my DS-3025.

Do I still need to fill I-693? I went through the medical exam in October 2020 and Ill probably be sending everything to USCIS begginning of next month.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Thanks a lot!! 

Hello everybody,

So I am flying to the USA on my k1 visa next week. My fiancé already has his W2s and is ready to fill taxes, what we don’t know is weather he has to do it now or wait until I am there and we get married. ( I already have a (US) SSN ) so he can fill his taxes as married and claim me as a dependent?

What do you guys think? 

thanks ! 

Hello everyone,

I have a question, me and my husband are going to do AOS and are trying to complete form i-944, my question is,

We don't know if we should include our co sponsor which is my father in law in our household size and therefore in part 3 household member's financial status,

To give you a little bit of context, we are not living physically with him in the same house, but he claimed my husband as his dependent in his most recent tax returns and he is also helping us as a co-sponsor.

Thanks a lot for your help! 

Hello everybody,

I have a question, for those applying for AOS in 2021, so far, are there any updates on the fees one needs to pay? I've been trying to look for information online but I have not found anything new, Do you know if it is still just one payment of $1,225. (AOS fee $1,140 + Biometrics fee $85), which includes forms I-765 and I-131 as well.  I would appreciate your help,

Thanks!

Due to what I mentioned in the title I've been worrying about a million different things before even being able to apply for a K1 Visa. I'm stuck in Australia and USCIS are closed because of COVID-19...

Anyway. I'm very worried about my depression making me inadmissable. Here are the facts.

 

I've been seeing psychologists for depression for years now, I'm currently 21 and when I was 20 I sent myself to the hospital with lacerations. I don't need to go further into detail on that but needless to say it wasn't great. Since then I've been doing a lot better and my scars have been fading. Unfortunately I called an emergency number and police came to do a wellness check on me. I'm hoping this doesn't screw me in the future. I'm doing a lot better now and haven't needed to see my psych as much.

 

This is probably the least of my worries as I haven't even been able to apple for the visa yet but what should I do?

I do not think your depression is going to make you inadmissible.

I am also medicated with antidepressants / anxiolytics and went through the medical exam without any problems and got my  K1 visa approved.

During the appointment they asked me about the meds I take,  (since they make you write a list of current medications you take if you do) and I explained briefly without giving too much details why I take them (definitely the doctor knew what they were for). They did not ask for details but one of the questions they asked me was if i had ever seen a psyquiatrist / psychologist or had tried hurting myself before. Just answer with the truth but not give too much details if they do not ask for them. 

I suppose is under the doctor's discretion if they want to send you to see another specialist. But in my case it did not happen. I was also afraid my mental condition could have been an issue during the exam and that I was going to be asked about it during the embassy interview but it all went smooth.

Don't be afraid to apply, show them you are doing a lot better! 

Hope I could help you with my experience.

Which date do you mean?  Issue date?  Expiration date?  Had it even been issued?  What does ceac say?

I meant the issue date, just to make sure even if this EO affects those with a K1 visa, if the issue date on mine is the actual date i had the interview (March 13th) it wold make me a lot less anxious!.

Sadly CEAC says still "Ready for interview" which means they have not updated it, also the status on that other website where i scheduled my interview says "appointment" (apparently they have not updated it either) 

Thanks for the answer.

If I had my k1 visa interview March 13th (i still have not gotten my passport since it was a friday and the lockdown here started monday 16th), will the date on the visa  be the day of the interview or a later date when the embassy reopens?. Also should I expect it to be on its way to DHL or still at the embassy?. Thank you! 

So this would technically mean anyone with a K1 visa is still going to be able to enter the USA and that this ban does not apply because is a non-inmigrant visa-? I hope this is true and makes sense. 

Hi, so we are currently on the same situation as yours, we had the interview for the K1 visa last Friday and got approved.

Now we are waiting for the passport to get to DHL but we have not gotten any updates. On the website we created an account the status still says appointment and on the CEAC website still says ready for interview.

We are wondering also if we should reach out to the embassy but I think right now nobody knows, the mailing service in Perú is not working right now nor the embassy, only some supermarkets, pharmacies and banks,

I hope this situation gets better soon, I already booked a flight for May (which I can re schedule) but I really hope it gets better by then so I can have my passport with me and are able to travel.

So my fiancé and I just got our NOA2 on Nov 26th, sadly he just had a health issue that forced him into quitting his job to start treatment and therapy. He is no able to work right now and when he is able to, he will need to find a new job. The whole therapy and recovery might take a couple of months and we are honestly concerned about the embassy interview and getting denied because he is not employed right now, I will have his tax returns from this year and the previous ones and his dad agreed to be used as a co sponsor (he meets the requirements and his income is above the 125% poverty level), when is the latest we could do the embassy interview with our NOA2 date? We would like to postpone it as much as we can until he is able to have a full time job again, does anybody have any recommendations on what is our best option or what should we do in this current situation?

Hi everyone, I friend of mine recommended me this website and participating on this forum since my fiancé (the US petitioner), sent in the i29F on August 14th and got the NOA1 letter delivered on August 28th. We are excited to know things are moving
