If K3 visas were a thing, they would still be treated as immigrant (just like K1 fiancé visas) so you’ll have to apply where you legally reside in.

Keep in mind that consular route also requires I-864 with the same requirements (either sufficient income, assets or a joint sponsor).

I think @JeanneAdil was referring to the clients being prosecuted part Agreed!

Wow. Seems like these were all adjustment of status cases. I wonder if clients (both the foreign nationals and US citizens) will be prosecuted.

Is the priority date of the immigrant petition current?

I strongly suspect that USCIS will not accept it. You’re supposed to demonstrate that the intending immigrant will not become public charge and well, the USC petitioner being on unemployment benefits doesn’t really help convince them that she won’t become public charge. That’s not possible. Current income is what counts, not past even if it was a high paying job. What would you do if they issue an RFE for insufficient income soon after you send the forms? There is not set time when they issue RFEs, it could be a week or a year after applying. Failure to adequately address an RFE will most likely lead to denial. This is why we strongly recommend a joint sponsor. please see this thread for someone with a similar situation who got an RFE:

I’m not an attorney but I would say yes, you can. I’d probably wait a little longer to have a couple of pay stubs under my belt ( and also a letter of employment verification). But please keep in mind that while this should be sufficient, the final say is with USCIS adjudicating officer. If he still deems this isn’t good enough, the case may be denied. This is why we recommend a well-qualified joint sponsor in addition, if you are able to find one.

I understand but again, what you made before doesn’t count. If you’re CURRENTLY (right now at this moment in time) unemployed, your income is zero. Even if you had a job up until now that made $200k but you stopped working yesterday, it still doesn’t count for I-864 purposes.

Past income doesn’t count. What counts is current income which would be 0 if you’re unemployed. You need to find a joint sponsor.

K1s are authorized to work for those 90 days they’re given once they enter the US. CBP used to issue work authorizations for 90 days at the POE. That practice has stopped more than a decade ago. Now you still need a valid EAD to work those 90 days but knowing how long USCIS takes to issue them, it’s just impossible that you’ll actually work in those 90 days. Plus you’d actually have to pay a fee because this isn’t based off of a pending I-485. In short; they’re not wrong in the paperwork they gave you. But as I explained above it is just not practical and isn’t really a possibility. You will have to wait until you get an EAD based on your I-485.

This ⬆️⬆️⬆️ I already had an SSN and still answered yes to those questions in hopes of getting an updated SSN card with my married name to avoid a trip to the office. They didn’t even send one when the time came, I had to go in person to correct it. But really though, USCIS doesn’t care if you don’t have one when applying for AOS. Otherwise they’d make it a requirement
