Our K1 petition was filed this week, my fiance didn't expect them to try to take the funds till next week so he didn't put it on the CC yet in cause other random things hit. He was going to put it today (sunday), however USCIS tried to run the payment on Friday so of course it was declined as the funds weren't on the card yet. We know that the policy is they try for the payment once then reject according to the USCIS website and send back the package. Has anyone had this happen? And if yes how long did it take for them to send the package back? Should we just try to refile with a new package?

10 Yr GC received in Nov 2020 No Interview

Divorced in May 2021

Remarried in December 2022 to another USC

Have a baby in 2025

was married for 4 year and 9 months the first time around. Been married almost 3 years now.

am I gonna face some scrutiny during my interview? I ve heard yes and also have heard no since I was married for almost 5 years and ROC was approved jointly with no interview.

Just very anxious here. How should I prepare myself.

Has anyone had any issues crossing a land border from US to Canada and then back into US? I technically overstayed my K1 visa by a month before I sent in my AOS. We were married within the 90 days but my i94 did expire. I was given my green card this past July but I m scared to try and come back into the US since I did overstay my visa by 1 month technically. Do you think this will cause an issue? I m planning to go home for the first time over Christmas. Flying up to close to the border then crossing by land. Thanks in advance. This has been stressing me out.

I just filed the I129F Petition 2 weeks ago and in my particular case as the petitioner, my income is slightly above the income for a family of 4 at 125% FPL. I make enough for this but I also was concerned by the fact that I was on Medicaid (since 2017) and it was extended by COVID so never removed. I cancelled this benefit 4 months ago, before filing and it was only because of the COVID-Emergency they didn't check income, and I've had private health insurance for 3 years - and Medicaid was just an extra.

I have 2 kids that are on Mediciad but through my ex-wife's and I can't remove them, because they are under my ex-wifes name -- if I call they say it's not under me by my ex. What could I show to the consular/do to strengthen my case --- we won't need public benefits and explain kids are on Medicaid through my ex but are on my health insurance policy.

I wanted to know --- what should I present to the consular to show (my fiance won't be a public charge). I own a house that is almost paid off, have health insurance with my kids, and myself. How do I prove to them (the Medicaid) my kids are on, isn't under my name but my ex? What can I do to strengthen my case - though I was on benefits (through COVID emergency)? I make enough money, and there's no reason she would be a public charge under my insurance.

We submitted the I-864EZ. On tax returns, our 2023 income was around 30k, 2024 was around 50k, and the current estimate is around 130k. (1st Jan 2025 -31 Dec 2025)

Will it cause issues during the visa, as we are not expecting an interview before May 2025?
We did provide his employment verification letter, but not the pay stubs.

We got the following message:

The income reported as stated on form I-864, I-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos and https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. A consular officer will decide if you meet these requirements at the time of the interview. Note: You, as the sponsor, and any other sponsors household members and joint sponsors, must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as: * Other income * Assets * Proof of current employment Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center CEAC. You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview.
