so from my understanding you only submitted one I-864 for both yourself and your child? you would have needed your husband to complete 2 I-864s for both yourself and your child **in short, yes you can use the same I-864 (with a new signature) and evidence for your daughter

can you post the RFE letter you received with all the personal information redacted? this would make it easier to help

just a next door neighbor, doesnt need to be family, to state they actively see you living in the house/being there full time

we just had our interview a few days ago - here's our experience might depend on the officer, but i stayed with my husband the whole time. are you on a lease or a mortgage? those are really good cause it helps show you live in the same place.

depending on the state, you may have to wait until you get the NOA1 for the I-485 before you can get her a state ID card. I know we had to for michigan. but this is correct you need to make an appointment for the SSN

@Dashinka@SL2024@JeanneAdil@Edward and Jaycel@Caligirl1@tinubiyi Thank you all! Still haven't heard anything yet, but hopefully soon. We could really use the good news after what ended up being an awful week 😂😭 Thank you @TBoneTX! our officer told us basically the same thing about ROC since we brought a binder full of stuff 😂

better late than never 😂

We had our Marriage based green card interview on August 7 at 8:45am. We walked into the building at 8:15am (thankfully very few people there). USCIS is the only thing in the building and they are on the 3rd floor. The elevators are just to the right when you walk in the doors. Security was super easy and they were very nice. They just needed ID and our appointment notice. Basically the same as airport security, everything in a box (belts and things included) and its just a walk through metal detector. We did not have to take our shoes off. Then there was the check in just on the other side of security. That was super quick, they just asked for the appointment notice and then they took a picture of the green card applicant and scanned his index finger on both hands. We then were told to take a seat and the number they gave us would be called. our number got called at just about 9am, so in total we waited about 30 minutes after walking in. We had a very nice officer conducting our interview, she made it very easy. First thing she asked for was all of the IDs that we had. So for the US Citizen we gave: passport and Real ID drivers license. for the green card applicant we gave: passport, state ID (non-Real ID), social security card, and his EAD card. She then only asked a few questions about us. How we met? (she asked me, the US Citizen) - we originally just gave a short answer, but then she wanted to know more. When we met in person the first time (kinda directed a both of us) - since we met over Covid thats probably why she asked that and that was pretty much the only questions she asked us about our relationship. The only thing she asked for document wise was to see the original certified copy of our marriage certificate and my husbands original birth certificate. She then went over the inadmissibility questions from the I-485 - every answer was basically no, except for 2. one of which we had chosen the incorrect option, which she was able to fix. those questions were "Have you EVER violated the terms or conditions of your nonimmigrant status?" since he technically overstayed his K-1 visa, this answer should have been yes. We informed her of the overstay, she added a note of when his I-94 expired and the date when our AOS was filed, and then said it wasn't an issue anyway. the other question we answered yes to was "have you been unlawfully present in the United States? " again for the same reason above. She then explained that she didn't see any issues with our application and she was going to mark it for approval, but it would go to a supervisor for the final approval. But that we should see an update in the system within the next day. She also explained next steps for removing the conditions on the green card and when he can do that, as well as the time frame for when he could apply for citizenship if he chose to do so. For those who remember, we were one of the couples who chose the adjustment category "Spouse of a U.S. Citizen" instead of "Person admitted to the United States as a fiancé(e) or child of a fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen (K-1/K-2 Nonimmigrant)." We did bring this up at the end of the interview when she asked if we had any questions. She said she knew it was a I-129f anyway and it was in the system that it was, so it was getting marked as a conditional green card and it wasn't a big deal. Overall it was a very easy experience and much less stressful than we were expecting. Hopefully we hear something soon!

https://www.uscis.gov/g-1055 you can check here all the way at the bottom is a drop down and you can pick each individual form. this is for the I-485 so $1440 for the parent (principle applicant) $950 for a K2 child under 14 I-131 - $630 (this would be each) I-765 - $260 (it is $260 when filing it at the same time as the I-485)

it also says as soon as 😂 "We strongly encourage you to submit your change of address through a USCIS online account as soon as you move." the sooner the better, but obviously within the 10 days lol

oh man thats a tight timeframe USCIS says you have to update the address as soon as you move, I assume that means you shouldn't do it before you officially move. since you should be able to do it online, it should update pretty quickly

for my husband we listed unemployed first since that was the most recent

having never been to the US isn't a red flag. like MMRF suggested, you may not need an entire lawyer, but you could get a consultation to answer any questions you have. but over all you 100% can do the process yourself. I know it seems intimidating, but if you do all the research (VJ is great for this) it makes it less intimidating.

the embassy should reach out with instructions regarding next steps. this is typically called packet 3. it details how/when to schedule the medical exam and the interview. as well as lists what documents need to be brought to the interview. if you dont hear from the embassy within 30 days, you can try emailing them here consularlapaz@state.gov or calling them (591)2-216 8246 https://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Bolivia&cty=La Paz

the embassy should reach out with instructions for next steps. this is typically called packet 3. see the information here https://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Poland&cty=Warsaw you can also go here to contact them and ask about next steps directly https://www.ustraveldocs.com/pl/en/contact-us

K1 visas don't submit any documents to the NVC. so there is no DQ for K1 visas. whats more than likely happening is their embassy isn't ready to take their case yet. some embassies request that cases be sent to them, instead of the NVC sending them automatically

I am starting to gather the things we need for my husbands GC interview next week (!!) we have to do the errata sheet for the one correction we need to make. would others say this is all it needs to be? I can't really find anything other than blank templates (not specific to USCIS)

the NVC is taking anywhere from 30-90 days to process cases they receive. if it just got sent a few days ago, you still have a bit more time to wait

it is also more clearly stated in the I-693 instructions "What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already completed an immigration medical examination abroad? If you were admitted as a: A. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or B. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and C. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then: (1) You are not required to complete another immigration medical examination as long as you file your Form I-485 within one year of an immigration medical examination completed outside the United States; and (a) The panel physician did not find a Class A medical condition during your imigration medical examination; or Form I-693 Instructions 01/20/25 Page 8 of 12 (b) The panel physician did find a Class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility, and you have complied with the terms and conditions of the waiver. (2) Even if a new immigration medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original medical examination report completed abroad, you will need to have the Part 10. Vaccination Record completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you must submit Parts 1. - 5., 7., and 10. of Form I-693." https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-693instr.pdf so as long as your DS-3025 is complete, no need to go spending an extra $400 lol

was your DS-3025 complete and marked as complete? if so you don't have to do the partial I-693 at all. you can just include a copy of the DS-3025 and a cover letter explaining that you completed a medical exam in your country and voluntarily received all of the required vaccinations. https://www.uscis.gov/i-693 " The following aliens applying for adjustment of status must submit a partial Form I-693 (Parts 1.-5., Part 7, and Part 10, Vaccination Record) when they file their adjustment application if their vaccination record was not properly completed and included as part of the immigration medical examination conducted by a panel physician outside the United States: Aliens admitted to the United States as a spouse, or child of a spouse, of a U.S. citizen or fiancé(e) or child of a fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen (K-1/K-2/K-3/K-4 Nonimmigrant) who already completed an immigration medical examination conducted by a panel physician outside the United States no more than 1 year before they file to adjust their status;"

we got our NOA1 about 4 weeks after we submitted. just be careful when driving and such. but theres no real concern if you don't have the NOA by then. when you do receive the NOA1, just keep a copy of it with you whenever you go out. correct, you would want to have the receipt notice.

this is just standard. a supervisor is going to go over it and give final decision.

not sure why someone would tell you that. the only thing a K1 visa holder needs to establish they are married is the marriage license. the work auth is longer valid because there is no longer an I-485 in process. he will need to apply for that again.

it probably got denied cause they were confused by the I-130. as a K1 visa holder who got married within the 90 days, the I-130 is not required. why did you file the I-130?

if you get married before, you might run into the issue of someone at the SSO saying you can't get the SSN because the visa has been "used" since you got married. but you technically have until 2 weeks before his I-94 expires. so you should be able to apply for one within 75 days of his arrival regardless.
