US Immigration from Australia

My wife and I are filing all our forms to immigrate to The United States, and we are currently filling out the CRBA forms, we have come against a speed hump, both our babies are IFV babies. They are both our DNA...my sperm and her eggs. Anyone else have to go through this and where do we begin?

I've heard of posters advising that EAD expedite requests can be made when a job offer is received. Would it be feasible to request an EAD be expedited for a Master's degree offer with financial assistance (e.g. research assistantship that covers tuition and pays a monthly stipend)?

Also out of curiosity, how often is an EAD expedite request approved for a pending job offer?

A bit more on my current situation:

I am the beneficiary, currently engaged to my US citizen fiancee. We are both currently in the US, and I am working on an H-1B visa.

We plan to marry in June 2022, and I'm anticipating being accepted into a Masters program with financial assistance starting in August/September 2022.

We also plan to file I-130/I-485 jointly very soon after marriage. I am wondering whether it is possible to call USCIS to expedite my I-765 once we have filed and the applicaiton has been received?

Hi all,

Just wanting to clarify i have the right evidence moving forward with NVC with a sponsor and joint sponsor .

We (USC & Australian Beneficiary) will be living with the JOINT sponsor (USC mother).

Sponsors evidence will also be domicile evidence as she currently lives in Australia with me (therefore some might not relevant for her case but just including it).

My partner (USC) is self employed with $0 for 2021 to current.

Sponsor USC:

- i-864

- Passport

- Marriage certificate

- LLC licensing & Business registration in USA

- Business bank account with $60,000 USD.

- Personal bank statements of USA account.

- Single filled tax returns for 2019,2020 & MFS tax returns 2021 (even though its $0. This is for domicile).

- USA Private health insurance

- Written letter stating reasoning why being in Australia for 4 years including Australian study visa + post study visa

- Signed contract with production company in USA.

JOINT Sponsor: Self employed.

- i-864 and i-864a (as we will be moving in with her, is i-864a necessary?)

- LLC & state business registration

- Copy of passport

- 3 years of tax returns including W2

- 3 years of 1099 and schedules C (i believe).

- Written letter stating business and involvement with the business, signed and dated

For the joint sponsor should i include bank statements? or will tax transcripts be efficient enough as she earns well above the USCIS guidelines.

Please let me know if anything is missing. Thank you all for your help!!!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question regarding tax for the I-864 form & being married.

My partner has been living abroad for the last 4 years and filed a tax return in 2018, she has since been at uni which was completed last year. She did her taxes for 2019 & 2022 declaring $0 being made.

She founded 2 business last year with a friend and now has stepped back from those businesses as they generated $0 income. She did receive a stimulus check since being overseas during COVID.

Questions:

1. Does she still need to file her tax return, even though she earned $0 and receiving the stimulus check
2. Should we file as jointly married or single?

I heard filing as a single does not matter and would love some clarification as we are both still residing in Australia and don t want to complicate things.

Thanks

Does anyone know the wait time for US Embassy in SG to send out and schedule IR1 interview?

I was DQ'ed on Jan 11th and I was wondering what the wait times are like for SG consulate.
