US Immigration from Guatemala

Hello everyone

does anyone know if nvc is receiving phone calls?

Morning,

Need some advice. My wife got her green card in 2014. We have removed conditions. I am working on her N-400 app. Question regarding if her mom became a citizen before my wife was 18. How important is this ? My mother in law is a citizen and she thinks it was about 2000 which is when my wife would have been 18 or within that year. My mother in law is not sure. They were not living together. My mother in law moved to washington state while my wife stayed in home country. Do we have to go to the naturalization archives to find the info ? We are just doing the general 5 yr.

Thanks much for your advice

Much appreciated love this forum

Regards,

Jack

I would like to file the N-600 for my youngest kid and do it online. I read in the USCIS website that you must be 14 years old in order to create an online account in your name. How can I do it online without creating an account for him? Can I use my online account?

My wife came to the US with the K-Visa in December of 2021. We married in 2022 within the 90-day time period but we waited a bit too long to start the filing process for the next step (This is mostly due to us trying to collect the necessary documents, some of which we had to get from the country of origin). In 2023 we submitted our first form of I-485 along with what we thought were all the required documents and waited for months to receive an answer. Finally the $1,200+ fee was charged to my account and they reviewed our application. A few days later we received notice that they required proof of my income, so we sent them that. A few weeks later we received notice that our application was denied because I failed to provide 3 years' worth of tax information. In the meantime, the fee for the application went up to $1440, so I spent a few months gathering that and all the necessary documents gain and sent the application again in April. This time we sent forms I-485, I-864, I-765, and I-131 altogether. I read mixed information on whether I needed to include the fees for forms I-765 and I-131. We read somewhere that if we were sending those forms along with the I-485 we didn't have to pay that fee, so we didn't send it. Just a few days ago we received another set of notices. The first two were for forms I-765 and I-131 saying we needed to include the fees. So that's not a huge issue, we will get the funds and pay the fees so they can process that. Our big issue is that they also sent a "Request For Evidence" for form I-485. It is a 5-page document requesting pretty much everything we had just sent them. The first page says that based on the documents we submitted, they could not determine that the petitioning sponsor on Form I-864 is qualified. I calculated that I did meet the required 125% of the federal poverty guideline for my household size, but maybe someone here can just confirm this for me. I have custody of 2 kids in my house from a previous relationship and a 3rd kid with my wife. How much did I have to gross in 2023 to qualify without having to get a joint sponsor? Also, any other help you guys can provide would be immensely appreciated. My wife's uncle has become very ill back in Guatemala and this is making her very depressed.

Hi Everyone,

I am putting together form I-751 for my husband and would like to know what evidence items I should submit.

His green card expires on 9/16/2024 so we have to submit on 6/18...
