Hello Everyone!

 

My wife and I applied for the Ir1 visa on july last year. Received the I130 NOA1, but nothing yet about the NOA2, and i'm starting to worry.

 

What came to my mind is that maybe the delay is because  I have 3 bank accounts in the US under my name.

Every year I have to submit (my banks does this for me) the 1099C and the 1042-S (Foreing Person U.S. Source Income subject to withholding) Forms to the IRS.

 

Would this be suspicious for them? Do USCIS check bank accounts / IRS reports?

 

Thanks in advance!

Texas

ok, I will.

 

My service center is Texas.

As reported by other VJ members, the average time from NAO1 to approval at TSC is 215 days.  I suspect you will receive news very soon.....

Thanks for your reply!

 

I have just filled my timeline.

 

however that does not answer my question. Does USCIS check bank accounts and IRS documentation? Because as I mentioned, I have several US bank accounts under my name as a foreing person, and I submit tax documentation to IRS every year.

Would this be considered a red flag?

 

Also, I have entered the US 11 times last year to visit my wife. On a B2 (tourist) Visa (I have global entry so i was never asked a question at CBP). Would this be considered a red flag as well?

 

 

thanks!

Probably not. Those are part of the US Treasury Department and not something USCIS could just look up. Different departments of the government.
