US Immigration from China

Just received approval on our I-129f application, yay~

*5 minutes later*

We are very anxious about filing out form I-134, the affidavit of financial support.

Helen the U.S. petitioner makes enough to meet the 100%-property-line benchmark for the two of us. However, she is also the head of household at home who s been supporting her parents who are both disabled and mostly unemployed. And her income will not be enough if all her families are considered as her dependents.

And here s tricky part number one: we are obviously planning on moving out together, just the two of us, once I (the beneficiary) arrive in the U.S.

Should she put me as her only dependent on form I-134?

Here s tricky question number two, we plan on scheduling for an interview as early as this coming February/ March , since by then we would be able to collect the necessary tax-related income proofs such as IRS transcript. When she s filing for this year s taxes, should she file as single instead of head of household to be consistent with our situation? Doing this will set her back thousands of dollars in tax return, a significant amount for her and her family.

Sorry for the lengthy questions, both of us are very hard workers and we are determined to make the best out of our situation during this whole K-1 process. Seeing her taking on extra shifts, and in her eyes the stress from uncertainty, I knew I needed to do my best to help her navigating through all this.

Thanks in advance

Sorry about this as it may be shoutout to push. Been forever since I was here but still a great resource.

Wife went back to help care for mother prior to surgery. It was delayed so she stayed to help as 2020 killed normal visits. She made dad go for checkup and he ended up with stage 4 lung and brain. She been trying to get a death cert to move finances to mom and it s been a struggle. I can t break free of work until after CNY. Mom had a stroke just before our daughter was born 10 years go so also dealing with her care and as you know ADA accessibility in China is almost nonexistent.

Any help navigating that web would be welcomed

I am the K1 mom, and I tried to expedite EAD in the K2 uscis account that the K2 daughter needs to work for financial independence for in-state tuition but got denied. K2 did her biometric with her Dad's (my ex) immigration case before and had two A-numbers, one from K2 and one from her Dad's immigration case. Can that be the problem? I did send another letter to USCIS to use the A-number of K2 case. Then I got a weird reply.

"We have reviewed your inquiry and need to advise you that we are not able to provide the information you have requested. Specifically, it is not clear that you are the applicant of the requested information or have the legal authority to act on behalf of the applicant.

Due to rules set forth in the Privacy Act of 1974, we cannot discuss the issues or share information concerning the immigration status of the applicant in this case, nor can we confirm that he or she has any action pending with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)."

Can anybody advise what is the meaning of this USCIS response? Do we wait or do anything? Thanks a lot!

Hi friends, below is my timeline, wondering what I can do at this point.

9/9/2022 - filed for I751 jointly, got an extension notice for 48 months

10/30/2023 - divorce finalized

8/20/2024 - I751 approved without request for RFE or interview

I didn t expect the approval to happen so fast and I didn t get a chance to provide the decree and convert this to a waiver.

Should I file a new waiver explaining the situation? Is it going to get me in trouble?

Hi y all, we ve been stressing over whether or not a United States police certificate is required me (the foreign beneficiary).

I have studied and lived in the US for well over six months since I was 16. I thought I had to write a physical mail to the FBI with my ink-rolled-fingerprints and what not. But I came across this on a immigration website saying I won t have to.

can anyone advice me on this issue? And if the website is not correct and I ll indeed have to contact the FBI, does anyone have any experience with that processes?

Thanks
