    I met my husband through work when I was visiting my US based client for our yearly business review. Very cliche but it happened when I least expected it, I was not looking for a husband 😅. He worked at the company that I was visiting, so that was a very interesting situation for a while!

    As a general comment if there is an obvious pattern on what basis cases are looked at I have yet to find it.

    K-9 Visa got a reaction from ExtremeLove in I-134A home assessment vs. appraisal?   
    You are so right. Elizabeth Warren says that people who 1) own a business; 2) owns securities; 3) own a house build wealth without paying taxes, while the people who work for salaries and wages pay all the taxes. It's amazing how much the IRS lets me write off. The problem is that in 2020 and 2021 my business lost money so the USCIS could judge me unable to support my lovely fiancee. I'm going to the IRS website now and see if I can print out the last five years of tax data.
     
    And I just got a call from a real estate appraiser. He looked at I-134A and said that in his opinion the USCIS should allow tax assessments or appraisals. He said that the county tax assessment is a legal document that shows the value of the home, and that's what the USCIS is looking for. He said that paying $650 and waiting two weeks for an appraisal shouldn't be required. Appraisals are usually more accurate but the USCIS doesn't need accuracy.

    That took four days. My suggestions:
     
    1. I talked to an appraiser, he said to upload your county tax assessment instead of paying $650 and waiting two weeks for a home appraisal. He said that your tax assessment is a legal document providing a value for your home. In addition, upload the county assessor's page showing a picture of your house with your name listed as owner, in addition to the deed. My deed is hard to read, a bad photocopy of a lot of legal stuff. The county assessor's page looks nice.
    2. In addition to your tax return (I uploaded ten forms!) go to the Social Security website. You'll see a nice document with a table showing your lifetime earnings by year. This gives a better picture of your income than a single year's tax return, especially for a business owner in a pandemic year.
    3. The "Bank official's statement" will waste an hour of your branch manager's time if the bank doesn't have this as a pre-programmed letter. If you have multiple accounts and transfers funds between accounts the letter signed by the bank official will mean nothing. (Confusing account transfers and income is how Enron got in trouble.)
    4. Question 18 stumped me, and it's not explained in the instructions. It asks what percent of your income will you spend on the beneficiary. I'll pay my mortgage and she'll live in my house. I'll put her on my health insurance and pay the bill each month. We'll go to the supermarket and I'll pay at the checkout. I put down 100% of my income will go to support my beautiful fiancee.

    Thanks for playing the devil's advocate, in case a USCIS officer challenges our expedite request. How confident are you about your translators? I've looked at webpages about eye diseases and I can't understand them, and I speak English. I can't that imagine a translator who isn't trained in optometry could translate for an optometrist.

    Today I used Ask Emma to make an expedite request. We're scheduled for a response in eleven days. What should I expect? I have a letter from a non-profit urgently requesting my beautiful fiancee's services. When will the USCIS let me upload the letter?
     
    My fiancee is an optometrist with training and experience in low vision. There's a non-profit nearby that is a leader in low vision. They've helped 100,000 patients but they need a Spanish-speaking optometrist for outreach to Spanish-speaking communities. My fiancee is ideally qualified as she's trained in Community Medicine and completed a three year mission in Venezuela, where she provided vision services to all income categories. It's urgent because low vision is caused by progressive diseases. Early diagnosis and treatment can slow the diseases. If I had a progressive eye disease I would consider seeing an optometrist as urgent.

    I work for a major cancer center in Seattle , and like all hospitals, we are subject to the requirements to provide language interpreters for our patients.   Our interpreters are specialty medical/oncology interpreters.   They are paid professionals.   This is the standard of care in the United States.

    The USCIS policy on expedite requests doesn't say that green cards or EADs are needed for these urgently needed vital services. Making these beneficiaries wait to start performing their vital services would defeat the purpose of expediting their visas.

    K-9 Visa got a reaction from Summer melody in Establishing Evidence/Credibility For the K-1 Visa   
    In my experience the amount of evidence depends on how you met. If your partner is a hooker whom you met in a tourist bar, the night after she got out of prison, your relationship might get questioned. The counselor officer asked my ex-wife and I how we met. She was a speech-language pathologist, I was teaching a seminar about treating childhood stuttering. The counselor didn't asked any more questions, flipped through our photos in two seconds, and approved her visa.
