I am filling an I-485 and in Part 2 ask me for a receipt number of underlying petition?

And the only petition I have filled before this I-485, is the application for Asylum I-589 Should I type that receipt number of this I-589 as a receipt number of underlying petition?

Thanks and blessings.

Hi, My Fiance received her K1 Visa and was not allowed to board her plane and was stopped by Philippine Immigration in Manila for not having proof that she had a personal bank account with at least $4500.00 in it. Has anyone ever had that issue arise? Thank you !

I don't feel so good, visajourney. Add in the fact that I filed in February 2021 and I feel even worse.

I'm not sure if links are allowed but this AP spreadsheet is quite useful, I will link it in a comment below - it is a "O1/EB-1/EB-2/L1/B1/J1/F1/H1B visa Administrative Processing statistics list" google sheets spreadsheet, and it is specifically of Russians. While I understand most of you won't be Russian, it may give you an insight as to how things are coming along.

Here is the link: O1/EB-1/EB-2/L1/B1/J1/F1/H1B visa Administrative Processing statistics list

Does mum need to bring the I-1864 (I am the sponsor for mum and dad) to their visa interview?

A few weeks ago I posted about the issue of them demanding my W-2/1099/Schedule form.

W-2 was not available as I worked abroad, but I did have a 1099 form as a twitch streamer on the side, and my schedule form was included in my whole tax return I uploaded. I also then submitted documentation and explanation about the circumstances.

It was accepted, but then I was harassed about proof of having an American permanent address for two weeks. Which was listed on my tax return, 1099, my DL, and all was rejected. But, finally, today they accepted my bank statement with my address for domicile.

But guess what? I got another review note yet again asking for my 1099 and Schedule form. -_-.

I already explained I sent all of my 1099 for 2023. Which was just one. And explained where my schedule form was (scroll down a couple pages on the tax return, it's right there due to me using a service).

This seems like a merry-go-round and is there anyone above the inquiry line we can go to? I keep asking why this happens to them as well and all I get is "we are reviewing"

As per this forum rules I really want to avoid the snark I wanna say, but this makes no sense.
