    So the I-485 packet I mentioned above should now say: "I-485 with I-864 and supporting documents, I-864A and supporting documents, a note that the child entered as a Canadian B-2 visitor (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/citizens-of-canada-and-bermuda.html; *also https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-2 "Waved Through at Port-of-Entry") and presented Canadian BC at POE, filing fees, etc.;" Your friend would fill-out the I-864A https://www.uscis.gov/i-864a

    That is why it's very important for her US citizen spouse to file the I-130 petitions: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-8

    Immediate Relatives

    Certain adjustment bars do not apply to an immediate relative, including the spouse or child (unmarried and under 21 years old) of a U.S. citizen, and the parent of a U.S. citizen older than 21. [2] 

    An adjustment applicant applying as an immediate relative may be eligible to adjust status even if:

    • The applicant is now employed or has ever been employed in the United States without authorization;

    • The applicant is not in lawful immigration status on the date he or she files the adjustment application;

    • The applicant has ever failed to continuously maintain a lawful status since entry into the United States;

    • The applicant was last admitted to Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) as a visitor under the Guam or CNMI Visa Waiver Program and is not a Canadian citizen;

    • The applicant was last admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant visitor without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program; or

    • The applicant has ever violated the terms of his or her nonimmigrant status.

    This was really helpful! I’ll tell her to get on those applications fast and include her income now that she has a job. So her kids hopefully won’t be barred for overstaying cause they are the us citizens spouses children and she can’t just leave them behind.

    But for AOS process they'll need proof of the lawful entry. If they only used their Birth Certificates (i.e. not a Canadian passport) did CBP give them a paper I-94?

    If so they can proceed with AOS process. I recommend the US citizen spouse file the I-130 petitions for the Immediate Relative category AOS. I-130 and I-864 is filled-out by the US citizen, and the rest of the forms are filled-out by a 14 y.o. or older child immigrant (or if younger than 14 y.o. then your friend on behalf of the child immigrant; https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-1-part-b-chapter-2). In general, send the following packets (four packets per child, so eight total; *note that I-765 and I-131 packets are optional, but highly recommended) in the same envelope to the Chicago Lockbox:

    • I-130 with copy of your friend's marriage certificate, copy of child's birth certificate, filing fees, etc.;
    • I-485 with I-864 and supporting documents, paper I-94 copy, filing fees, etc.;
    • I-765 with paper I-94 copy, etc.; and
    • I-131 with paper I-94 copy, etc.

    They'll separate each packet with rubber bands or fasteners: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/form-filing-tips

    On the I-130 packet, I-130 payment method (check, money order, or Form G-1450) must be the very first item of this packet.

    On the I-485 packet, I-485 payment method (check, money order, or Form G-1450) must be the very first item of this packet.

     

    They'll eventually have to go to a doctor that has Civil Surgeon designation from USCIS. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-b-chapter-4

    Timing of the Submission of the Medical Examination Report

    Applicants may submit the Form I-693 medical examination report to USCIS:

    • Concurrently with the immigration benefit application; or

    • At any time after filing the immigration benefit application but before USCIS finalizes adjudication of that application. If not submitted simultaneously with the immigration benefit application, applicants may bring the medical examination report to an interview or wait until USCIS issues an RFE requesting the medical examination report.

    They didn’t need anything to enter u.s just the birth certificate. Only problem is the sponsor didn’t make enough money to sponsor her and her kids so the kids came with her on her visa illegally until she started working and can prove enough income between her and her husband to sponsor her kids there and file there forms too. She’s just worried cause they will have overstayed by the time this is all processed for them. But they are her children she couldn’t just leave them behind and the income was outrageous for just her husband to sponsor all of them. It’s different when her and him live and work together. There incomes combined now have enough to bring her children there.

    Kids don't need a passport to enter and many Canadians even with a passport just get waived through still. That part won't be a problem but I worry that the father did not consent to the kids moving. 

    She’s just worried about taking them with her because her cr1 was approved but they didn’t have the income yet to sponsor her and kids till she started working and contributing to the household to hit the mark of minimum income for all the kids and herself. So now by the time she files and actually gets anything done the kids will be overstayed status I’m sure. 

  4. So if someone I know has a cr1 visa and brought there minor kids with them to the United States and only had a cr1 visa for herself and not her kids what happens then? Does she apply now for 2 more i30 petitions for them and keep them with her there until she hears back or does she apply for something else? K4 visa? Trying to help her but not sure of what she should do at this point. She doesn’t want her kids to live illegally and she has a job there now to help with sponsorship income for her own kids. 

  5. So I have finally been DQ today With NVC. But they informed me that the income for this case does not hit the requirement when I looked into it my joints sponsor makes $230 less than what they need a year to sponsor me how would I go about fixing this does anyone know? They put in there that it will be up to the Montreal consular office or if they will approve it or not has anyone been through this problem before and where you accepted because the income was pretty much there but just a little bit off she has a job also that she started this year but that doesn’t show on her previous tax years she is a nurse again at a hospital working three days a week so she makes a lot more than what her income shows in previous tax years. I hope this makes sense 🥺

    A 1099 form is a record that an entity or person other than your employer gave or paid you money. 

     

    My 1099 was from my brokerage on my day trade account. Guessing it's a retirement account that she's pulling money from. 

     

    Yes she gets retirement benefits but she submitted a w2 for that. It’s the social security benefit right?

    NVC really likes iRS transcripts (all pages even if you didn't have to fill out anything on a section)  otherwise you will send 1040's and W2's and any 1099's

    why do they say they need them again?

    Has NVC said the income is still too low?

     

    because their printers get thousands a day and if you do not label each and every page in the upper right hand corner with case #,  both names and both DOB's before you submit them ,  they can be lost in the system (even when you have to log into your account to do this )

     

    What do you think it means by please add financial evidence. I submitted w2s already for both sponsor and joint sponsor. I’m so confused. There even saying the joint is missing a w2 and she isn’t.

    Nice, they've only accepted my AOS just now today so hoping they accept the civil documents soon.

     

    I also had to resend my W2s and 1099 lol

    What is a 1099? Maybe that’s what my sponsor is missing on top of her w2s. She’s retired. Not sure if that’s what’s wrong. 

  9. I have submitted documents to nvc 3 times now and everytime they keep coming back with the same thing both the petitioner and joint sponsor need evidence of income. What does that mean? We have submitted all w2s and tax forms. The sponsor is a retiree who makes enough to sponsor me alone herself on that but she doesn’t get any pay stubs! Has anyone encountered this problem before? Also they asked for more w2s from her and she doesn’t have anymore just 2 and they have already been submitted. 

  10. No they didn’t tell me it was to low just that they asked for w2s we submitted all w2s now there saying they need more financial evidence for both and that the i864 form isn’t fully completed everytime we send it in they say all pages aren’t there when they are. There asking for more w2s from the sponsor but she doesn’t have anymore. She submitted all her w2s

  11. Please I need help with the NVc. Every time I submit documents they keep asking for more and it’s heartbreaking because I’ve already submitted all W-2s like they asked for and now they’re asking for Financial evidence for both the joint sponsor and the main sponsor and all their W-2s which have been submitted already so I don’t know why they’re asking again. We have also submitted an i864 three times Every time they tell me that all pages need to be submitted which they are even if they’re blank it’s like they’re just playing with me at this point what else am I missing here
