US Immigration from Australia

Hi everyone, I never thought I'd see myself scouring the pages of visa journey again, but here I am! VJ was my best friend when I was doing my GC application 5 years ago. 6 years later & I'm here again, totally confused and have a question or two. (And yes, I have been stalking these pages for over a month now) I am now a citizen. October 2021, I did the i-130 for my son, as he decided he wanted to come and live with us. He was under 21 at the time of filing, but has since turned 21. I guess I'm confused as to what category he comes under. The NOA1 says IR1, (I thought this was for spouses?), yet when I look at the timelines, the categories confuse me and can't work out which one I should be looking at. Would someone be kind enough to make it a little clearer for me please. March 2nd, I got notice that they were actively reviewing the case. It says Nebraska service center at the bottom of the NOA. Hopefully that made sense. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi

It would be great if I could get some solid information regarding my question.

My husband and I are currently living in Australia and applying for my green card from here.

My inlaws are going to be my joint sponsor

We are earning foreign income so obviously this doesn't count.

My inlaws both receive social security and would like to combine this as income and they are both retired. Hence they have not done their taxes and don't have W2.

Will a SSA-1090 suffice for each joint sponsor?

Thank you

I received an RFE today, to provide the correct NZ police check (I submitted the wrong, but know how to fix it).

Having re-submitted the document into the CEAC portal, the "date uploaded" hasn't changed and still remains as the 28th April.

Just wondering how this RFE response will impact my timelines? Particularly I don't have a received document upload date.

Hello,

The Petitioner is from Australia and when we submitted the I-129F we chose Melbourne as the US Embassy, since it was the closest to him. However, I recently read that Sydney is the only Embassy that processes K Visas. Will this mistake slow down getting an Interview scheduled if they are mailing around our case? Or, will the California Service Center just automatically send our case to Sydney? Thanks!

We're currently at the NVC stage, but our documents are due to be reviewed in the next 1-2 weeks, I've been googling endlessly to find out how long we'll be waiting for an interview date at the Sydney Consulate after we've been DQ'd. Hoping some of you could help with the following;

a) Is there a website that shows the wait time? (I know there is for non-immigrant visa interviews at the Sydney Consulate)

b) How quickly have people been moving from the DQ stage to having an interview set up in Sydney? (Particularly since the consulate has reopened).

c) Once we're DQ'd is it worthwhile ringing the Sydney Consulate greencard phone number to understand wait times? Or will they just give a stock standard response?
