I would not do that. Wait a couple of days after the window opens.

No, that is not necessary.

It’s for those cases that start with IOE (electronic). Some paper ones are converted into electronic but not for I-129f. This might happen with AOS once in the US and ROC. At least, that was my experience

Thanks for the update and welcome back.

Everything is in the I-864 instructions. You need to really study them. I second advice on seeking legal help as this is now your second attempt at filing. “For example, you may include a recent letter from your employer, showing your employer's address and telephone number, and indicating your annual salary. You may also provide pay stubs showing your income for the previous six months. If your claimed income includes alimony, child support, dividend or interest income, or income from any other source, you may also include evidence of that income.” https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf We sent an employment letter from HR and 6 months of most recent paystubs. No RFEs, approved over 2 years ago. At the time my husband was also hourly and paid weekly but HR had no problem calculating that into an annual salary. There are also calculators online that help do that.

It doesn’t matter what you made in 2023. They care about what you’re making currently, this year. If it’s too close to threshold, they may ask for a joint sponsor. What evidence of current income did you include with I-864? Tax returns are not evidence of current income.

LPRs cannot sponsor parents, only US citizens can. No, IR5 category does not allow derivatives. Once your husband becomes a USC, he can petition for a sibling. This will take 20+ years. Once your MIL becomes an LPR, she can sponsor him. If he doesn’t age out it’ll take about 5 years and if he ages out probably 10+ years (and he must stay unmarried, otherwise he’s ineligible). You need to become familiar with the visa bulletin, it dictates when visa numbers become available and what the wait is.

For K1s, You wait for your case status to show “Ready”. After that you can start filling out DS-160. Usually, the consulate sends instructions. There is not interaction or uploading anything to NVC. They simply hold your case until it leaves for the consulate.

Some get faster IOs and some get slow ones or their background checks take longer. It’s like standing in line in a supermarket, some people just get lucky and are out faster than others. There are many factors. I wouldn’t compare my case to another. They can process completely differently due to possible factors I mentioned.

It’s 6-8 weeks. Why are worrying already?

But that’s completely unrelated? This is regarding form I-824 that many have to file after not filling out the section correctly on whether the beneficiary is in the US adjusting status or will be interviewing abroad. We see this error all the time here with the section left either completely blank or filling both AOS and the consulate. USCIS retains the petition and asks the petitioner to file and pay for I-824 in order to move it along. It’s good news for many who don’t fill it out correctly but I fail to see how this is related or somehow green lighting that a person can come to the US on a non-immigrant visa with an intent to adjust status.

I would advise against speaking to USCIS. They do not always provide accurate information and they do not provide immigration advice. They’re just representatives hired for customer service. If an attorney says it’s ok, ask them to put into writing. I doubt they’ll agree.

Yes.

*** Thread moved form K1 fiancé visa forum to IR1/CR1 spousal visa forum as K1 is not possible for married couples *** Thats correct, traveling to the US on a non-immigrant visa (VWP included) with an intent to adjust status is immigration fraud. Your only option is consular processing.

Does she actually have a last name? If yes, then put it.
