good to be back here and join the thread. my gc will expire early June. 

4/15 sent I-751 package via usps priority

4/16 delivered to Carol Stream PO box 

4/26 received an online update - case was received and a receipt notice was sent on 4/16

now waiting for the credit card charge now. good luck to everyone!!

Thanks guys for the feedback.

Can we just submit a copy of the filed 1040? My husband has hired an account to sort everything out since he was outside of the us till recently and didn't file taxes properly while he was abroad. All of his previous tax filing are being processed by the IRS but he did submit 1040 for 2021 income made in the US as soon as the IRS opened up. 

Given that he doesn't have any records/transcripts, do you think sending a copy of 1040 form for 2021 would be sufficient? We had provided W2s, notarised employment letters, paystubs but still got the REF.. 

Thank you so much for your help in advance.

Hi everyone, 

I got a ref for my green card application in Nov 2021 and the deadline is coming up but I haven't collected necessary evidences related to the affidavit of support.

I think my case is eligible for the uscis' covid extension (extra 60 days to respond) but i'm wondering if i should submit whatever i have now before the deadline and send the outstanding items later or do you recommend submitting everything at once before the extended deadline? 

fyi, i'm waiting for my husband's irs transcript which be out soon hopefully. 

Thanks so much for help. 

thanks guys.. always very helpful. we will try to find a joint sponsor or something. thanks again

Hi guys, 

Is is possible to get a ref again?

We got REF for AOS last month and are trying to come up with evidences that prove that my husband can support me without finding a joint sponsor (as none of his family members are USC or PR). 

Bur we are afraid that we might get another ref or rejection if USCIS deem our additional evidence is insufficient.. 

Thanks again for your help in advance.. 

You can speak to an agent through Emma, uscis’ virtual assistance.

this is the hack to get an agent. The website is in Korean but just follow screen shoots

Thanks guys.. really appreciate your advice/thoughts. We might need to find a joint sponsor which might take some time but our deadline is in March. I probably got this generic message as a response to my biometrics 

Hi guys,

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

I just received a notification that my I-485 is being actively reviewed and “nothing is outstanding at this time”. I presume this is usually a good news but its troubling me because i got REF on Dec 16 and didn’t sumbit requested evidence. 
 

fyi, REF was regarding my birth certificate (which was in line with the guidance and was planning to submit the exact same docs) and the affidavit of support (my husband makes enough income but his fed tax filing hasn’t been properly recorded due to his overseas residence and it is being processed by the irs. We also explained the situation in the application and submitted evidences of other financial assets).

I spoke with a live agent via chart about this but she just recommended to response to the ref and disconnected the chat..

Did anyone have the same issue? Can i take the latest update “nothing is outstanding” at face value and not submit previously requested evidence? If it’s the case nothing is outstanding, I just don’t want to respond to an REF and create any confusion to my case...

Appreciate any thoughts / advice..  Thanks so much!!

Hi guys, 

I came to the US on K1 visa a month ago but we haven't got married on the paper as I wanted to apply for SSN first. 

It took me hours of waiting on the phone but I was able to schedule an appointment (Nov 5). 

My question is - if the application was successful, can we get married the next day? or do we have to wait till i receive the physical ssn card? 

Thanks so much for your help in advance !!

I had the same question but I got my p3 package in the mid-Apr and my interview is scheduled for late May. They initially scheduled for early May but i pushed it to the end of May due to my work and medical exam appointment. 
 

My case was at the consulate for more than two months

Hi  our case was transferred to the embassy early Feb and its status has been ready since mid Feb but we haven’t received p3 instructions.

 when we contacted the consulate, we got genetic replies saying that they are understaffed and cant address individual p3 request. 
 

We also haven’t seen any visa approval from HK on this website..  Has anyone got p3 or interview appointments for k1 or immigrant visas from the consulate?

Thanks. 

congrats everyone! our case is also in transit! just to an email from NVS. so thankful that HK embassy is open and processing all types of visa

Yes, 

Since last night We've had that problem, too 

you should try it again! 

We called NVC today and got our case number. But for some reasons, we couldn’t check our case status on the nvc website. we both kept getting the same error message 

The code entered does not match the code displayed on the page."

anyone have the same issue?

Hi guys, happy new year! our case was approved on Dec 31, 2020. took us 241 days to get noa2. it was a difficult and long journey but your turn will come!! please all hang in there :) 

Hello,

I know Im getting ahead of myself, but i have a question about affidavit of support. 

I think affidavit of support is required for a k1 visa interview (if not definitely for aos). My fiance is planning to leave his current job early next year so when i go for a k1 interview, he may be between jobs and we may need to ask his dad to be a joint sponsor.

The problem is my fiance is the only one in the family who is usc. The rest of his family members are on G-4 visa. My understanding is that a joint sponsor is also needs to be usc or green card holder..
 

does that mean his dad cant be a joint sponsor, even if his income is far above the requirement? And im not sure if it makes a difference, but G-4 visa is quite unique in a sense that when his dad retires, he can automatically apply for a green card. 
 

if not, can we ask someone who is not related to my fiance to become a joint sponsor?
 

Thank you so much for your help in advance!!

I haven't got NOA2 for K1 visa... 100 days since NOA1 but been thinking about applying for a master program for next year fall. If I'm determined to pursue it, it is better to withdraw I-129F petition now? or will it still complicate my status adjustment?
