US Immigration from Bulgaria

Hi everyone, my fianc and I are considering getting married and applying for DCF afterwards. We ve been living and working in Germany but he got a job offer from another company in the US.

We ve been reading a lot about what may be considered exceptional circumstance but wanted to see whether any of you have had similar experiences. Do you think the Frankfurt consulate would accept his new job as one?

Also, for people who have filed the I-130 in Frankfurt, how long did it take you to hear back from them whether this is indeed considered exceptional circumstance? I also just received a job offer but it is in Germany, so we want to figure out whether DCF would work at all or if I should take the job in Germany and apply for the CR-1 the regular way.

Thank you in advance for your answers!

I have a very strange tax situation and neither my payroll department, nor the IRS has been helpful so I figured I would post here and see if anyone has experienced anything like this:

I became a permanent resident in late 2021 after being on an F-1 visa for 11 years. My country of origin has a tax treaty with the USA that exempts the first several thousand dollars of my income from federal income tax. Payroll has always just left that income out of my W-2 as if I never earned it and instead reports it in a 1042-S, which I cannot file anywhere since I have been a resident for tax purposes for a while. I have received my 2021 W-2 and it once again does not have that income on there but I am now a permanent resident and no longer eligible for the tax treaty. My question is, does my new resident status retroactively cancel my eligibility for the tax treaty, i.e. am I now somehow supposed to pay taxes on that income that I earned while I was still F-1 in 2021?

Hello everyone, I need some serious help with sending this out again. So my partner got a letter back from the USCIS stating that he needs to resend the petition with the correct information (missed signature). The petition he sent was all stapled together and it says to "attach the letters" to the front of the new package.

The problem is that we discovered that one of our pages in the original petition wasn't printed correctly (after sending) at all due to Cyrillic letters and its all in gibberish. Another thing, he had to move unexpectedly during this timeframe so we had to completely remake the i129F form with all the updated information.

My question is: What are we supposed to do?? Resend the new petition with everything changed and attach the letter he got back along with it? Is this supposed to be declared with the USCIS before we do it (because it has new info that wasn't present before)? He couldn't reach anyone over the phone, they didn't reply to my emails either.

I've attached the notice for further context.

Hello everyone,

I have a question I submitted I130 and I485 for my mother (I m a citizen and my mom is currently in US) everything was fine, we did the fingerprints but now they sent me RFE for missing signature (I can t believe that I missed a signature but I didn t do a copy of the paperwork so my fault)

my question is because I got a RFE for I130 can I can get a second RFE?
Because I didn t submit the medical exam paperwork I thought that I will have RFE for that but I m afraid that too many things are wrong and they will deny my case

If anyone have advice it will be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Hi folks!

Earlier this year I entered the USA on a K1 visa and got married within the 90 days. A few months ago I also started the AOS process, along with EAD/AP card request.

I had my biometrics appointment last week and the case status changed to Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS on the USCIS online portal the next day.

Back in Bulgaria, I used to work for a Bulgarian company with HQ in the USA. My old boss would like to offer me a job if I can start sooner rather than later, so I'd love to try and expedite the EAD.

We'll be quoting severe financial loss - to me because I'm not able to take the job and to the company, because the department I'm supposed to take over is responsible for 4-5M in revenue a month. That being said, he's requested I send him examples of what other people have used - job offer, letter from employer stating revenue loss & etc, so he can run it by HR and send me what I need.

Would any of you be able to provide examples or documents you've used successfully (with personal/sensitive information blacked out) by chance?
