it sounds like a generic email they send to all visas processed by the immigrant visa section of the embasssy. even though the K1 is nonimmigrant, it is processed by the immigrant visa section. they also process IR1/CR1 visas, which do require the I-864. they probably do more of those visas than K1s, so they probably don't see the need to have multiple templates so you dont need the I-864, just the I-134

since it's past the 90 days, yes technically it did it think people recommended something like "K1 Visa - Out of Status" something like that anyway

You need to include the bright green piece of paper at the front of the everything regardless of it you print new forms or not

I know when we got our rejection we just redid all the forms again, just to be certain we were using the most current ones

most banks require a SSN at the very least to open a bank account. some require a state ID as well. you might be able to add him to a joint account without a state ID, but he will need a SSN. Which he can apply for one when he gets into the US. Just not before. He'll need to make an appointment with a SSO for that. you cannot just walk in anymore - but in short, no he more than likely cannot open a US bank account until after he arrives and has gotten an SSN you might need to check directly with whatever airline he will be coming over with, but should only need documentation for the cat, like updated vaccine records. but different airlines have different requirements. but its typically very easy to do. it depends on how he got his cellphone and what kind. if he got it directly through a carrier (not sure what its like in France) it might be locked to that carrier, and he would have to get a different one in the states. if it is something he got secondhand or directly through the manufacturer, it might be unlocked, and can be put on any cell providers plan. my husband has an iphone that he had purchased long before he moved here on his K1, but Germany almost always has phones that are unlocked, regardless of where you get them. and we were able to just add him to a cellphone plan here, no need to do anything depending on what kind of phone he has he should be able to just google "how to check if my phone has a carrier lock" or something like that. an iphone will say "No SIM Restrictions", which means he should be able to be put on any cell plan. it should say something similar on androids.

theres no telling how long it will take exactly with everything the current administration has been up to... its hard to tell my husband had his biometrics on march 18th and we havent heard anything back for his work authorization yet either. "no action required" means exactly that. youre just in a period of waiting now. unless it updates to an RFE or something like that. the myprogresstab isn't reliable. don't get too worked up over the timeline on it. many members here will agree

removal of conditions is what youre looking for form I-751 check this forum https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/86-removing-conditions-on-residency-general-discussion/ theres a calculator here that will tell you when you can apply https://www.uscis.gov/forms/when-to-file-your-petition-to-remove-conditions

i mean being "engaged" isn't a legal status. you can say youre engaged or call someone your fiance without an official proposal or an engagement party. or even engagement pictures. we didn't take engagement pictures until after my husband (then fiance) arrived in the US on his K1 visa. it sounds like the officer doing the interview didn't feel like there was enough, the culture in Nepal probably played a big part in that.

hmm then vice versa? attn: in first name USCIS in company name Or what we did was just type it out how it should be on a piece of paper (or label sheet) and put it on the package and just pay for it at the post office instead of online. you'll still get tracking and everything that way

you could try putting USCIS in the first name line and the Attn: in the company line

you could get affidavit letters from your fiances family while you are there, that would be good as secondary evidence in your situation. but many pictures with family and friends (probably in different locations, like at their house, out doing an activity, stuff like that) should be your primary evidence did you provide passport stamps, plane tickets, anything like that as well? proof that you were actually in the same country helps a lot

ahh thats too bad 😔 the chances it was the exact amount is crazy though lol

the state of Michigan (most colleges that I saw anyway, so I assume thats the standard for the ones I didn't see) follows this 1 year of residency rule you could check community colleges,they are typically cheaper and might not be so strict with the 12 month rule

you can track your case here using the case number you should have received from the NVC https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=NIV inquiries to the NVC are done here, as youre right they don't take calls https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html if you mean your embassy specifically, a majority now have a way to contact them via email

that does not make you responsible for the child legally. she can try to find the guy and take him to court for child support. unless you take legal claim for the child, you do not have to pay for it

providing a tip to USCIS can be anonymous the option to add your own information is optional

the I-864 is a contract to the government. you are obligated to repay the government for any means-tested public benefits the sponsored immigrant receives. the only thing you are required to do is financially support the immigrant(s) you wouldn't want her to be on medicaid in the first place, that is a means-tested public benefit that you would have to repay back to the government. regardless most often (depends on the state) greencard holders have to wait 5 years before they are considered eligible for medicaid (https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/lawfully-present-immigrants/) however, her being pregnant does mean the 5 year waiting period for medicaid could be waived, but that depends on the state. i assume she became a green card holder within the last 3 years? however, the baby she is pregnant with will be a U.S. citizen. from my understanding you would not be responsible for paying back anything to the government if the baby ends up on medicaid. as A. they will be a US citizen, B. its not yours, C. whoever the biological father is would be responsible for child support. "No. Sponsors are not responsible for benefits used by the sponsored immigrant’s citizen children or by any other “nonsponsored” family members." (https://www.nilc.org/resources/sponsored-immigrants-and-benefits/) I would also suggest speaking with an attorney if you're still not sure. possibly an immigration attorney specifically.

It depends on the embassy Once the CEAC tracking says "ready" you could try contacting your embassy for the next steps

yes that is a generic message K-1 applicants schedule their own interview the beneficiary should receive something from the embassy once the embassy receives it. this will tell them how and when to schedule their interview and their medical exam.

you could include them on the additional information page of the I-129f with a short explanation of them being college addresses

You should be able to contact the facility and request a copy. You can pretty much get a copy of anything from your doctor's if it pertains to you. Especially something like a HIPAA release

1. they should already have your I-693 from the medical he had abroad, but I would say still bring a copy of the DS-3025 with you. 2. if it were me I would bring copies of everything with me. plus anything that wasn't included with the original I-864 (like most recent tax return) 3. I-94, copy of K-1 visa in passport, NOA2 from I-129f, marriage certificate. potential options 4. if you have life insurance or a 401k, adding him as a beneficiary to those and providing that. power of attorney letters (medical power of attorney, durable power of attorney) for both of you, also options i assume both credit cards have the same number? but have your own names on them? you could make copies of the front of the cards and include those are proof

If someone could please update the information here. it still says that the I-765 and the I-131 are included in the price of the I-485 if filing together. I-765 should be $260 if filing with I-485 I-131 should be $630 if filing with I-485

We got our case number through public inquiry. We waited a month from the day USCIS sent our case to the NVC. My husband (the beneficiary) received the physical letter from the NVC almost a month after we knew our case was already at the embassy. You would be better off submitting a public inquiry, the letter is notoriously slow.

Ahh I gotcha Fair enough As long as you are actively pursuing the petition (i.e emailing those documents) you should be fine. The embassy is aware of the validity of i-129fs. It is not uncommon for people's interviews to be after the validity date has passed and they have zero issues For example, our i-129f approval expired on July 4th, and my husband's interview was after that. Zero issues, they didn't even ask about it at the interview If you do everything before the expire date (ie submitting ds-160, emailing documents) you'll be ok. It would be a good idea to have another signed and dated intent to marry letter to bring along to the interview, from both partners.
