    ahh ok thank you! we filed at the illinois lockbox, it was delivered on the 20th and haven't gotten anything yet making me anxious lol
  3. MalloryCat
    which lockbox did you file with? and when did you get your NOA1? can you fill out your timeline please?

    i am not sure the only thing I can find is that they have the dedicated staff and the infrastructure to handle the family based petitions.

    the DOS is different from the embassy the DOS may process the petition within 30 days, but all they do is send it to the embassy. embassies do not have the same policy.

    you should have them include the salary as well. if you look at the instructions for the I-134 "Statement(s) from your employer on business stationery showing: A. Date and nature of employment; B. Salary paid; and C. Whether the position is temporary or permanent" https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-134instr.pdf

    after the visa interview your case goes through more administrative processing that is most likely what is happening it will eventually update to "approved" or "issued" it can take days to weeks, depending on the embassy and how simple your case is it's completely normal

    the tracker is very glitchy, and not very reliable most of the time. it'll probably change back, especially if they are expecting a response to a RFE

    have you gone through your visa interview at the embassy in Argentina? if not you still have that to do before receiving the visa. NOA2 means the United States has approved your USC fiance's petition (i129-f), the embassy in Argentina still has to approve your visa (K-1). I would also say not to have a party like that. the marriage is just a signed piece of paper you can have the party whenever, AFTER you've signed that paper in the US

    they all get sent to the lock boxes in texas but i believe the majority get sent to be processed in California. they go to the other offices for different reasons.

    please fill in your timeline for your AOS

    it could be. We are in michigan. I know for getting a state id/drivers license the NOA1 is enough. plus a bunch of other stuff it could also be because I personally bank with a credit union, that could make a difference
  14. MalloryCat
    hmm might have to try that!

    that's why evidence of married life isn't a requirement for AOS from K-1, because it is hard to get really anything in such a short time frame. we can't get my husband a bank account until he has a state id/drivers license, and we cant get that until we have at the very least an NOA1 from the AOS. but I also agree, the notarized letter from FIL about your living situation would be good also encourage just getting your own place together. depending on the landlord, whether its one person or a company, they should only need one person to meet whatever financial stuff they require. they didn't even need an SSN for my husband when I added him to the lease.

    Only Montreal handles family based immigrant visa petitions

    yea certificate is what i meant my county clerk was using them interchangeably for whatever reason lol we were able to look it up on their website to see if it had been processed yet, and then was able to order copies once it was
  18. MalloryCat
    this is for a K-1 visa? after the interview, whether you receive a verbal approval or not, your case will go through more administrative processing which can take days or weeks but you will not get your visa right after the interview, it will take some time for them to process it. getting the visa in hand will also take days or weeks, depending on how long it is in administrative processing
  19. MalloryCat
    that is also a very good point lol

    i believe the co-mingling of finances and stuff is more asked for during the removal of conditions process. including it as part of AOS isn't required, but some people do as just extra evidence of a bona-fide relationship. I included a photos from our wedding, a copy of our joint apartment lease, print outs showing my husband as a dependent on health insurance (medical, vision, and dental), and a print out of my life insurance (2 different ones, both employer provided) showing him as the sole recipient. but none of that is required, the only thing required to show your marriage is real is the certified copy of the marriage license.

    this is what I put for mine, didn't have any problems I, JANE K. DOE, THE PETITIONER, FULLY INTEND TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT MY BENEFICIARY, JOHN L. SMITH. I INTEND TO PROVIDE HOUSING, FOOD & MONEY WITHIN MY RESIDENCY AND FINANCIALLY SUPPORT HIM WITH ACCESS TO MY ANNUAL EARNINGS FOR AS LONG AS NEEDED & UNTIL HE IS ABLE TO SUPPORT HIMSELF FINANCIALLY IN THE UNITED STATES, FIRST AS A FIANCE AND THEN AS MY SPOUSE AFTER HIS ARRIVAL IN THE UNITED STATES. sorry its in caps, that's just how i typed it on the form lol

    they only require the one year of tax return transcripts i wouldn't worry about it if he makes well above the poverty line i only included 2023, but I also included my W2 for 2024, 6 months of pay stubs, and an employment authorization letter
  23. MalloryCat
    as someone who is a chronic over thinker, I don't blame them for thinking about the worst possible scenario. it's a valid reaction imo. but yea as of right now it's not something you can really worry about cause it hasn't happened yet. just try and keep positive and keep preparing for the next steps of your K-1 process as if nothing will change. that's all you can do right now. IF it does happen, your best bet would be to seek out a really good immigration attorney. Good luck and i hope the best for you both!

    For the k-1 visa it is the I-134 The i-864 is for the CR1 or for when adjusting status when already in the US
  25. MalloryCat
    your marriage certificate is the proof of legal name change so you don't have to do anything before hand either just what @Edward and Jaycel said
