US Immigration from Australia

A little background for no reason. My husband came to the US at the end of November of 2020 on the VWP from Australia and by Christmas... found out I was pregnant. So we decided to get married and he adjust status after consulting multiple attorneys for advice. This was the first time we had met in person after two years of an online relationship and naturally we are worried about how our case will be received because of how little evidence we have of a "true" relationship together.

We had to get an attorney on short notice and just went with the first one to take our case that would do it the fastest and by fastest that still meant a super long wait. He was supposed to leave February 18th 2021. We were married February 9th 2021 and we were notified by the attorney that they filed the first package while I was at the hospital having just given birth on August 19th 2021. I don't hear from the attorney again until the day before I receive a rejection notice in the mail for the "address field was not completed" and the entire package that was filed is being returned and had to be refiled. Well my attorney says to me that they have proof that they had three people go over the papers before sending it and everything was correct. So they send it again. I don't hear from her again and then the September 17th I receive another rejection notice for "Address field" again. But my attorney states that they were sent back the package with it saying a page was missing but it was actually out of order so they were going to resubmit it with a letter to the IO AND a flash drive with a copy of the paperwork on it and the paper package. Then I get another call the other day from my attorney saying that the package was returned again. Because a page was missing again but when it was sent back it was sent back out of order? I have yet to receive the rejection notice in the mail yet so I don't know if it says "Address Field" again but my attorney says that she is going to file online and by mail but online is bad because it "doesn't tell the full story"? and that she called and waited hours to talk to USCIS and see what was going on because she is frustrated and she has heard from other attorney friends that this is happening to their clients as well. Is this happening to anyone else or is this just me and my attorney is making mistakes? My husband is overstaying WAYYYY past and he needs this submitted now. I contacted our local Congresswoman and she is submitting an inquiry on my behalf so we will see what she gets back from the Chicago lockbox on why they keep being returned I guess. Sorry for the long post.

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?
