Should I put yes filing an application for an immigration benefit for myself? No for my husband and then yes for my K2?

That is correct.

Thanks. The example on VJ has immigration benefit ticked as no so I was confused.

Also I thought I needed to include my foreign tax return but I only see it mention US tax returns which I have said no to completing..

Finally received both of my RFIE. Now the fun begins of filling in a I-944 for a three year old..

Good luck with that. I have received I944 for me and my wife 21st of October and we responded back. RFIE wanted medical I693 too

 

My question to all is: As we receive the RFIE for I944, which is not our fault as USCIS didn't have the form for I944 in August 2020, what would happen to our EAD/AP or biometrics wait time? Like will USCIS reset the clock or restart the clock for EAD/AP as we respond to the RFIE (which again it is their fault).

What the hell is wrong with USCIS. Same response and closed service request for biometrics appointment without any resolution:

 

Quote

Our records indicate that we are awaiting your appearance for biometric processing. Your case is currently in suspense or on hold until we receive your biometrics.  Your application information has been entered into the system which schedules applicants for biometrics at their local ASC. Once you have been scheduled, you will receive an ASC Appointment Notice containing the date, time and location of your appointment.  You must take the ASC Appointment Notice and photo ID to your appointment.

Hmm 2.5 months after NOA1 and no Biometrics yet on I-485, is this what others are experiencing?

Yes until You send in your RFE your case is on a processing hold.

Does it effect the EAD processing time?

Ah, not like I was the first on the list for biometrics. My office is doing post covid biometrics right now. Continue to wait I guess..

What is the usual processing time of the RFE once USCIS receives it?

I would not even attempt to guess at this point in time. There are so many variables.

Hey guys. Just clarification on I944 question on section E about number of household. 

 

So our situation is, me and my husband r living on out father in law's house. He rarely stays here like very rare. He pays for it every month. My husband is not part of his tax nor my father in law's on my husband's. He is our cosponsor when we did k1 as my husband is self employed. He is also our sponsor now. 

 

1. Should we add him as part of the household?

Here’s what the I-944 instructions document has to say about this:
 

Part 2. Family Status (Your Household)
USCIS will review your family status as a factor in the public charge inadmissibility determination, which includes an assessment of your household, as defined in 8 CFR 212.21(d). The term child includes stepchildren and adopted children, as provided in INA section 101(b)(1).
Item Number 1. Household. The following individuals are part of your household:
1. If you are 21 years of age or older, or under the age of 21 and married, list the following household members in
Part 2., as applicable:
A. You;
B. Your spouse, if physically residing with you;
C. Your children (under the age of 21 and unmarried) physically residing with you;
D. Your other children (under the age of 21 and unmarried) not physically residing with you for whom you provide or are required to provide at least 50 percent of financial support, as evidenced by a child support order or agreement, a custody order or agreement, or any other order or agreement specifying the amount of financial support to be provided by you;
E. Any other individuals (including a spouse not physically residing with you) to whom you provide, or are required to provide, at least 50 percent of the individual’s financial support, or who are listed as a dependent on your federal income tax return; and
F. Any individual who provides to you at least 50 percent of your financial support, or who lists you as a dependent on his or her federal income tax return.
2. If you are a child (under the age of 21 and unmarried) list the following household members on the table in Part 2., as applicable:
A. You;
B. Your children (under the age of 21 and unmarried) physically residing with you;
C. Your other children (under the age of 21 and unmarried), not physically residing with you for whom you provide or are required to provide at least 50 percent of financial support, as evidenced by a child support order or agreement, a custody order or agreement, or any other order or agreement specifying the amount of financial support to be provided by you;
D. Your parents, legal guardians, or any other individual providing or required to provide at least 50 percent of financial support to you as evidenced by a child support order or agreement, a custody order or agreement, or any other order or agreement specifying the amount of financial support to be provided by you;
E. Your parents’ or legal guardians’ other children (under the age of 21 and unmarried) physically residing with you;
F. Your parents’ or legal guardians’ other children (under the age of 21 and unmarried) not physically residing with you for whom the parent or legal guardian provides or is required to provide at least 50 percent of financial support, as evidenced by a child support order or agreement, a custody order or agreement, or any other order or agreement specifying the amount of financial support to be provided by the parents or legal guardians; and

G. Any other individual to whom your parents or legal guardians provide or other individuals provide, or are required to provide, at least 50 percent of financial support or who are listed as a dependent on your parents’ or legal guardians’ federal income tax return.
In addition to listing each household member’s name (including yourself), also provide each individual’s date of birth, relationship to you (for yourself, you must list “self”), A-Number (if any), and whether the individual is filing an immigration benefit application with you. If the individual is not filing an immigration benefit application with you, select “No” when asked “Is this individual filing an application for an immigration benefit with you or has this individual already filed an application?”
You will have at least one individual listed because you must include yourself.
 

 

 

If you have any questions about immigration documents, always consult the appropriate related instructions document before posting. You can find these directly next to the download link for the form in question on the USCIS website.
 

Pro tip: if you don’t feel like reading the whole thing to find the answer to your question, you can search for specific words on any document by pressing control+F on PC (command+F on Mac) or on iPhone, there will be a button on the middle-bottom of your phone that pops up when you scroll to the top of the document, it looks like a square with an arrow pointing upwards. Tap that, and scroll down to the button that says “Find on Page”, press that and search away! I typed in “household” to find your answer. Good luck.
