US Immigration from Australia

I submitted the form DS260 online CEAC. Now I am looking for where to upload the supporting financial documents and AOS forms, etc. However I have uploaded these already on CEAC portal but now they are asking for me to mail or email them ?? confused.

On the CEAC there is upload forms section, so does that mean I need to physically mail in the forms to the NVC? Or email? My case is with the Sydney office (SYD). Very confused

Thanks!

I'm getting conflicting messages from the CEAC visa status check (https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=o/iS8zDpeAKjMWCuebHqOw==) and the CEAC submittal portal (https://ceac.state.gov/IV).

The CEAC submittal portal is stating my DS-260, I-864 and associated supporting information is submitted, but the CEAC visa status check is asking me to send the NVC my I-864 info.

Has anyone else had any similar issues? I've sent a public inquiry to NVC which will hopefully clear things up, just interested to know if I'm not alone in this.

I recently submitted my DS-260 and went over it with a fine-tooth comb about 20 times. Everything is correct, but today I remembered that we transited through a country on one of our flights to the US in 2017 (left the airport and stayed overnight at a hotel before getting back on the plane) and I completely forgot to add it to my countries visited in the last 5 years. Is this something worth unlocking the DS-260 for or should I just flag it at the interview? By the interview stage it will likely be outside the 5 year time frame anyway as the brief visit was in September 2017.

Hi all,

We're a little confused as to how to proceed with the I-864.

Status:
Petitioner and Beneficiary both living in the UK.
Petitioner moving back to the US in 2 months to start new job.
Beneficiary will move to US the help establish and then hopefully wait out until my green card interview (I-130 recently approved, case at NVC).

I am aware that current (foreign) income is not permissible for the I-864 but where does that leave USC who do not work in the US? Does this mean that the NVC process cannot begin to start unless the USC returns to the US and the couple is forced to be apart? Petitioner has a job offer from 2021 with a contract start date (selected by Petitioner) in 2 months time.

If the above situation of required separation of couples living outside of the US is true, what other methods can be used to prove financial stability/safety.

We do have savings, however what I have read seems to indicate that you must show savings equal to 5 X 120% of the HSS Poverty Guidelines ($22,877) = being $114k. Which we sadly don't have.

How do can we proceed with the process without further delay or needless separation.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I am a dual US/Australian citizen who is sponsoring my Aussie husband. I am reading the instructions for the I-864 and on page 8 it says "You must provide either an IRS transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most
recent tax year." My question is what is the most recent tax year? I have my tax transcript from 2020 but my 2021 tax transcript is not ready yet because we had to file an extension when I did my taxes this year (bad thing to do on the year you are immigrating, I know, but we live overseas and this is as soon as my US accountant could do it).

Can I submit my 2020 tax transcript or should I wait until the 2021 tax transcript is available? Should I submit the I-864 now and upload the 2021 tax transcript when it becomes available? I am not using income to meet the 125% guideline, if that matters, we are using assets instead.

Thank you for your input and good luck to everyone!
