Hi all!

I'm new here but about to start this process. I have a few concerns if anyone has experience.
I came to the US last year for a holiday (VWP), had my flight home cancelled in December, received 3 x VWP extensions, found a job (as flights were still 15k+, I'm a registered nurse so was in demand, was eligible for an E3 and had it in my plans to work overseas again at some point - I spent 2019 in London), and re-entered on an E3 mid-March after an emergency appointment in South America. Obviously while in the US during this process I met my boyfriend (hence the title haha). We met back in October. Everything was very normal and fine until we found out last month that he has to move to Puerto Rico. Being on an E3, my visa is tied to my job. Being an RN, I can't get a job immediately in any state as I have to be licensed there. I also don't speak Spanish so I'm not eligible for most of the jobs there. We didn't want to do long distance so we were looking at how I could come to PR with him. We are getting married so that we can be together.
A few things!
We have to leave ASAP, but my 90 days since my last entry (03/19) is the exact date we wanted to get married (06/17). He is meant to be in PR the week before, so we legitimately can't have him leave any later. Our city hall is only doing Tuesdays and Thursdays as well and it's Thursday the 17th, extending beyond this would add another 5 days. I have the obvious worries about this with the 90 day rule. If you had asked me when I entered on the E3 if I'd be married in 3 months I would've bet all my money against it! It was definitely not planned, but can I include any evidence in our I-485 to reflect this?
Secondly, given my US travel history the last 8 months I'm worried they'll think I was entering fraudulently at some point. I genuinely wasn't! Granted we entered into our relationship while I was on the VWP, but I couldn't get home to Australia unless I was willing to pay 20k. My original flight was cancelled after I was symptomatic for covid. This was reflected in my VWP extension applications.

Despite the stress and convoluted sounding experience I'm so happy everything has worked out how it did. We're super happy together and so excited for this next adventure. I can't imagine the pain of being denied our application and not being allowed to be together.

**One of my good friends is an immigration lawyer, I have obviously spoken to him but wanted some anecdotal experiences.

Thank you in advance!!!!

My spouse and I are currently residing overseas.

We are filling out our I-864 form and need some clarifications. Both of us are working and earning in foreign currency.

Question:

Is foreign income counted towards the income requirement on the I-864?

Do we report our income in US currency?

We are planning to supplement with assets as well in case they do not count our foreign income.

My wife (beneficiary) owns part of a real estate left behind by my in-laws, it is written in a will (how much is worth and % that my wife is inheriting). We have not sold the real estate yet so cannot show for it in cash. But it is fully paid off and can be liquidated within a year or less. Are we able to supplement this will as an asset? The title deed is under her parents' name.

Hi there

We received our Interview Date today for July 20. (NOA2 4/15). It s only weeks before our K1 expiration date.

We may have to signed more paperwork and update the visa. I ve emailed the Consulate if any earlier appointments were availiable but the 20th is the earliest one . 309 days from NOA1 for AUS. I know it can be worse but not looking forward to the extra paperwork to be done close to our K1 expiring. Not to include the weeks it takes for administrative processing and travel exemption applications.
Just venting.

The USCIS Office Closings page was updated today, May 18. It appears that USCIS will allow fully-vaccinated staff and visitors to enter maskless. The text is copied the text below. Emphasis is mine.

USCIS Office Closings

We last updated this page on May 18, 2021.

This page does not contain a list of all USCIS offices. It only lists offices that are closed or have temporarily changed hours. Please check this page on the day of your appointment for any office closures or other important information. If you have appointments at more than one office (for example, a field office and an application support center) please check both sections to ensure the offices are open.

We are not accepting walk-in visits at this time. You must have a scheduled appointment before arriving at a USCIS office. For more information or help, please see our Contact Center page.

Offices Reopening

USCIS field offices and asylum offices have resumed non-emergency face-to-face services to the public. We have enacted precautions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in our facilities.

• You may not enter a USCIS facility if you:
  • Have any symptoms of COVID-19, including recently developed cough, fever, difficulty breathing, changes in smell or taste or fatigue (list is not all-inclusive);
  • Have been in close contact with anyone known or suspected to have COVID-19 in the last 14 days;
  • Have been instructed to self-quarantine or self-isolate by a health care provider, public health authority or government agency within the last 14 days; or
  • Are awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test.
• If your temperature reads 38 C (100.4 F) or higher, you must immediately leave the office building. (This does not apply to application support centers.)
  • To reschedule your appointment, call the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283 (TTY 800-767-1833). To reschedule your appointment with an asylum office, please follow the instructions in your interview notice.
• You may not enter the facility more than 15 minutes before your appointment (30 minutes for naturalization ceremonies).
• We will provide hand sanitizer at entry points.
• All staff and visitors who have not been fully vaccinated must wear facial coverings. A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the last recommended dose of vaccine. For unvaccinated visitors, your mask must cover both the mouth and nose inside USCIS facilities. We do not allow masks with exhaust valves, neck gaiters, or bandanas. If you do not have an acceptable face covering, we may offer a replacement or reschedule your appointment.
• There will be markings and physical barriers in the facility; you should pay close attention to these signs to ensure you follow social distancing guidelines.
• You may also have to answer health screening questions before entering a facility.
• We encourage you to bring your own black or blue ink pens.

Appointment notices will include more instructions for visiting USCIS facilities. For more information, see our USCIS Visitor Policy page and the web alert.

My partner (petitioner) and I have applied for our CR1 visa earlier this year. We were wondering if we can expedite once our NOA2 is approved on the grounds that the petitioner has a job back in the states. It's a family business that her Mother needs help with.
