Hi everyone! This is our timeline so far:

 

November 4: Package sent via USPS to Phoenix, AZ

November 6: Package delivered

November 13: USCIS text message received

November 14: Check cashed

 

Good luck to all the other filers!

Update:

November 15: NOA receipt notice, Nebraska Service Center

We haven't received anything in the mail yet. I checked the USCIS online account and found PDFs of NOA, as well as the notice previous biometrics will be reused. Both were dated November 15.

It's also showing the "case is being actively reviewed by USCIS" message dated November 15. And there's a message from November 8 that they received our package. Text notification was sent five days later.

Thank you for sharing! ❤️

With the security questions, they didn't go through ALL of them, though, right? Because that would have taken forever? 😅

You're welcome!

No, just a few of the questions.

We had our interview yesterday and got approved.

We were asked only basic questions confirming our name and address, and the security questions from the I-485. The only questions asked about our relationship was how we met, when was the last trip prior to the move and how many times we've visited each other in the past. The marriage certificate was requested in person.

This is our timeline:

June 23 - package sent

Aug 18 - RFE date

Aug 24 - biometrics

Oct 15 - RFE package sent by USPS priority mail with tracking

Nov 1 - notice that they got our package

Nov 2 - interview scheduled

Nov 8 - letter received with the interview date

Our field office is San Fernando CA.

Our EAD/AP was not approved prior to us getting the interview scheduled.

Good luck to everyone!

1. Yes. If those taxes were filed as single or married filing separately.

Earnings statements are only required if filed as MFJ to distinguish individual income on the transcript from the income of the jointly filing spouse.

Note that 3 years are optional.

Most recent year is only required.

2. Gross total for employed.

Gross adjustable for self employed.

Thank you for your response!

1. Yes, the joint sponsor is not married and has filed as head of household with one minor child as a dependent. So for the joint sponsor's household size, for I-864 part 5, that would be 3 - the immigrant, joint sponsor and dependent child.

2. I forgot to mention that neither the petitioner nor the joint sponsor are self employed. So it is the Total Income line from the IRS tax return transcript.

Again, assets are used ONLY if income is short not for the heck of it.

And YES it CAN HURT.

Submitting useless documents that they have no clue why you are submitting them can get you a second RFE.

3. Thank you for your advice!

Hi everyone! We got an RFE stating that it could not be determined if the petitioner qualifies for I-864. We found a joint sponsor. I have a couple of questions.

1. We are resending last three years of tax return transcripts for the petitioner, and are including last three years of tax return transcripts for our joint sponsor, who is not married. Are tax return transcripts from the IRS website enough without adding W2s either for the petitioner or for the joint sponsor?

2. Just to double check, for the I-864 Part 6 questions 24a, 24b, 24c, we use the Total Income line from the tax transcripts from the first section Income, and not the Adjusted Gross Income line from the next section Adjustments to Income?

3. We included 12 months of bank statements for the petitioner's assets. We found conflicting answers whether to include all the pages of each bank statement (generic info, card transactions...) or just the relevant ones. We decided to include all of them, since each bank statement is numbered, so we assume leaving something out would be submitting incomplete documents. It can't hurt, right?

Thank you!

Hi! We are currently filling out the I-134. I'm over the 100% for the K1 threshold but a bit under the 125% for AOS for two people, and I have quite a bit in savings.

I have a CD joint account with my mother. Would they even accept it if it includes another person's name without getting the other person involved? The only reason I don't want to list it is because I don't want to get my mom involved and I hope I should qualify to be the sole sponsor with my income and savings.

Also, has anyone done the interview without the employer letter?

Thank you for your help!
