And thats the day I bitched at my fiancé to file his  (Really not the proactive one that one.. he didn't even know which one I needed)

 

I think you already know but in case someone else reads this

don't forget to get the "IRS tax return transcripts" (can be obtained from their website for free it takes 5-10 days to reach your door)not the tax return which you file.

Do you know what we would need to do if I don't have any US tax returns? I have lived in South Korea and Japan for basically the past three years and while I'm currently back working in the US, I don't have anything else to show.

I was going through the instructions for the K1 visa on my embassy's website and found this:

Quote

Until you receive your green card your ADIT stamp is your proof of legal residency in the United States and you can immediately live, work and study in the U.S.

Does that mean we're allowed to work before we get the actual EAD?

Explanation, recent w2, bank statements, employment letter. But as nothing is ever sure, you may also peepers a co-sponsor just in case.

 

However i believe a US citizen should file taxes even if they're outside the country? But I'm not petitioner I may be wrong.

No. It means you can use it to show you're not illegal although you don't have a visa in your passport.

 

i would say that is not for k1 btw. The other automatically just wait for their green card to reach them in US and it sounds like that time period. Because they already have the status just didn't get the card.

You still had to declare income unless you weren't legally required to (perhaps because you didn't have any or it was too low). If that's the case you have to submit a written explanation of it.

There was one more topic of October filers with wrong title, and somebody just commented there and it bump up. So I bumped this one to appear before the other one.

That's me who made it. Sorry for my mistake. I didnt know that we have this forum when I made it. Is there a way that I can hide that or delete it so I wont mislead anyone from october filers? Thank you.

Hi Everyone!

 

Ooh! I love bringing Good News to us! Well, I saw 5-7 days of NOA2 to NVC.

It's February for August...'One Month Closer to our Approvals (October)'.

 

Love you, guys!💖💖💯🔥

Hello everyone below is a repost from August about the current situation;

 

-------------------------------------

 

So far (well normally) there is no movement for August.

 

However a few note to give would be, They are,by looking at the numbers and past trends, mainly working on July.

 

They touched (even though with small numbers) up till the last date of July,however we still need to see approvals to say the latest date is July 31.

 I am personally expecting  to see some small movements in August this week.

I'll be scanning every night my time and post when there's movement.

You will be able to check the movement next day instead of midday and full day scans.

 

Please do not use the scans to check your personal case status.

Use USCIS web site to check your case status.

(Due to TOS and privacy of people who are not even in the forum we are only posting the dates not numbers)

(We learnt through these scans that, USCIS does not go with the number but the dates to give an example to this,

WAC do not go in an order for dates - not totally- So when most lets say 7/16 is around the number 356xxx,

a few 7/16 can be at the number 432xxx -yes they even mix it with other months; however we realized without the number in consideration,

that person gets their approval with the number 356xxx cases too. Overall the number is of no importance )

 

NVC is almost back to normal with a few exceptions of some cases still waiting to get a number; however mostly it is in between 10 days to 3 weeks 

 

Informed Delivery -if applicable in your area- is recommended.

 We have tones of approvals that does not get an online update!

Especially if you look below numbers the dates with almost no approval comes out to be the dates with mail only updates.

 

Monthly Overall

(*December has more cases than it looks in these numbers, because of an error on USCIS side, there are case numbers that gets a validation error,

Some people who has these numbers connected me however there is no way for me to add them.They also connected the USCIS and they don't seem to be able to do anything about it or well don't care probably...However, As long as you have your NOA1, and they can check your cases status when you call them there is nothing to worry about. They are not updating approvals properly anyway...)
