US Immigration from Australia

Hey everyone,

just after a bit of help on what to do. So I received my notice of action with the 18 month visa extension (filed in early august) My first name is spelled incorrectly, so i did the typographic error form. Last status update was 54 days ago which said my name was updated.

Just received my biometrics appt but the name was still spelled incorrectly and have since completed another typographic form.

My visa and drivers license expires on 25th October. I doubt the dmv will renew my license with a spelling error on the form that is also my proof of residency. Does anyone think I could get this fixed up at my biometrics appointment? All I need is just another copy of the form but with my name spelled correctly.

As some ROC filers have noticed, the spreadsheet we all use has had some issues. Major issues! The pages are blank. A couple of us have gotten together and tried to revert to older versions, which @KandN was able to find, and which worked for a short time and then they went blank, too. We're not sure of what happened, but it seems like the spreadsheet may have been corrupted. I created a brand new Google Sheet, and copied all our info into it. I wouldn't have known how, if @SoCal2021 hadn't explained it. Everything from October 8, 11:00 AM (EST, I think but not sure) and before is there. If you added anything after that, please add it in again. It should be working. Please, comment and let me know if it looks alright to you. The bright side for me is that I've learned how to do something new!

Hi!

My partner who is a US citizen is planning on moving back to America - we are currently living in Australia together, waiting for our NOA2. I have my B1 visa and wanting to stay with her over there for 6 months while we wait for my CR1 visa interview.

I m only worried because I will have to quit my job and end my lease with her. Will this be enough information to tie me back to Australia?

- Savings (more than enough to support me over there)
- Credit cards, bank statements in Australia (I pay an annual fee on my credit card)
- Phone Bill
- Australian Private health insurance
- A letter from petitioner saying I ll be staying for 6 months
- Work documentation from Petitioner jobs
- Return trip booked
- Strong ties to Family (letter from a doctor - family members are sick)
- Travel insurance
- Nursing registration
- Marriage certificate

I was planning on selling my car prior but I can keep it if this will support my case by having my registration papers, and the x2 insurances on it.

I am USC. My spouse and I live together in Australia. We've been DQ'd and interview to be scheduled soon.

Spouse's father just won a significant, high-profile settlement, and has gifted us a sizeable sum for our relocation fund. That sum pushes our savings to over 3x the Federal Poverty Guidelines. We initially had a joint sponsor, but would like to relinquish the shared burden of joint sponsorship. However, I understand the suspicion that such a windfall might arouse in a Consular Officer adjudicating spouse's visa application.

Is there any way to signify the legitimacy of our savings to use as assets? Or are we stuck with having to use a joint sponsor?

My husband s current EAD/AP combo card expires at the end of December 2021. We had our AOS interview end of April 2021 and still haven t received a decision. We were waiting to renew combo card as we were hoping to hear back on the green card before combo card expires, but now it s cutting it close so we are applying to renew. The work permit can now apparently be filed online, any experience with this vs paper app? To renew work permit and travel permit, I know we need to resubmit applications as well as copies of NOAs and proof our I-485 is still pending. Are we required to also send all of the original supporting documents (passport photos, I-94 etc)? It s my understanding that we will just get a receipt extending another 180 days, is this correct or should we expect another, updated combo card? Thank you for any tips!
