US Immigration from Austria

Hello, my wife and I successfully received a K1 in July, married in August, and sent our AOS and employment authorization on September 18, 2020. There was an issue processing the credit card so I had to send a check which was worked out by the end of October. I received a RFE at the end of November and filed the evidence and documents on the online portal on December 7, 2020. The status on myUSCIS says the RFE was successfully received on the 7th. This is the last we have heard and nothing has updated. The employment authorization page has not updated either.

Is this a normal processing time?

How can my wife leave the country to visit family in the meantime?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

My wife, USC, and I filed the I-130 on October 28 2020, and haven't heard anything back yet. Our receipt notice says we are at the Nebraska Service Center, but upon seeing a lot of cases on here get transferred, we decided to call and ask if our case was still in Nebraska, and when we could file about our case being outside normal processing times. Mainly, we just wanted to feel proactive after months of wait...

When my wife finally got through to a Tier 1 officer, the officer could not find our case through our Receipt Number/IOE number. She then found us by my wife's last name and date of birth, and could see that we filed the I-130. The officer thought this was strange, and was going to put us through to a tier 2 officer. Because we are both living in Austria, my wife was calling via Google Hangouts, and does not have an American phone number that they could her call back on. Given that we can't really afford the call, we had to hang up. The officer told my wife that she could talk to a tier 2 agent via the USCIS website, however when we tried to ask Emma for a representative, we had no luck.

Does anyone here have a similar experience? Any idea why our receipt number was not showing up?

Thank you for any help!

Hi everyone,

I am married to a USC, and we are using a joint sponsor, as she is a student and does not meet the minimum income requirements.

From the research I have done, the only financial documents needed are the IRS tax transcript of the most recent tax year of my joint sponsor, my wife, and the agreement between my joint sponsor and his wive.

However, I have seen on here and on facebook groups that people submit financial documents from the past 2-3 years, and not just IRS tax transcripts, but W-2s, as well as other things.

I was wondering if any of you, who have gone though the NVC stage recently, can give me advice on this. What documents are really needed, which ones did you upload?

Thank you so much in advance for your help, and wishing you all the best for your own immigration journeys!

I found out on my uscis that I got issued an rfe on March 22nd. The rfe has not arrived yet. It says online to file an e-request if it hasn't arrived by today (April 6th), so I did. However, the response to the e-request isn't due until April 28th at which point my window for responding to the rfe will have closed. What happens if the rfe doesn't arrive until then?

I just saw that the Adjustment of status guides on visajourney still say that I-944 is required which will probably be confusing to new people doing their research
