US Immigration from Australia

Hi All,

Please feel free to redirect to previous threads if this question has been answered, but I've yet to find a straight answer!

My spouse (finally!) got his interview at the US Consulate in Sydney! We're so relieved and excited after a very challenging process and want to make sure we don't trip at the finish line. My question: it very clearly says he needs to bring all original documents that we uploaded to the NVC. Does that include the things I, the petitioner, uploaded, like my actual birth certificate? I can mail it to him if need be, but I'm nervous about sending that sort of document overseas, it's the one that was issue at my birth and I'd hate for something to happen to it.

For what it's worth, he's able to bring everything else that he personally uploaded because he already has it with him in Australia of course. It's my stuff in the U.S. that I'm wondering about.

Thank you!

Hello everyone, so, unfortunately wasn t able to have same day oath ceremony in beginning of March in Tucson AZ. And it s been 2 weeks already since we placed you in a line to schedule the oath ceremony ...anyone has experience maybe how long will it take ? Thanks.

I am an Aussie, currently in the US on a B2 visa visiting my fianc . Our I-129F petition was finally approved, and I know I need to leave the US to be interviewed for my K1 visa. I have two dependent children, currently in Australia, who will need to be interviewed for their K2 visas. Is it possible for us to be interviewed in different countries (i.e. for me to be interviewed in El Salvador and for my children to be interviewed in Australia)? Reason: it is difficult to get a flight back to Australia with current COVID-19 travel caps and we want our family to be reunited ASAP.

I've finally started putting the AOS packages together, and today have noticed this: https://www.uscis.gov/i-944

It states that the I-944 has been discontinued, and that it is no longer required when submitting an AOS I-485 form. I searched the forums, but have not seen a mention of this, so thought it was not a bad idea to pose the question here for myself and others in the future:

This definitely means that I do not have to complete and file the I-944 when submitting an adjustment of status requests (concurrent I-130 and I-485 submission)?

Although the question seems redundant, one can not make any assumptions!
