US Immigration from Guatemala

We're about to re-send our i-485 form along with everything it asks for. We had sent it before with the original medical exams and now we only have the copy. I think the medical exam is good for 2 years but was wondering if they will accept a copy instead of the original?

We're a little lost and confused now. Just to give you a really quick overview of where we're at: She was able to travel to the US from Guatemala with the K1 Visa. We got married within the 90 days in 2022 but we just filed form I-485 back in March of 2023. We just received the letter saying we were denied because we failed to provide my (the sponsor) tax information for the year. The worrying part is that at the end of the 3-page letter, it says "The evidence of record shows that, when you filed your application, you were present in the United States contrary to law" and then it proceeds to say that she must leave within 33 days of the date of the letter.

I have scanned and redacted personal information from the 3-page letter that they sent me and I have attached it here. Please someone help me understand what is going on and what we need to do. Thank you!

Currently trying to fill out form I-864 as a sponsor for my wife. In Part 6 question 7 it asks "My current individual annual income is:" I'm having difficulty answering this question because I don't know if I need to put what I've currently made up to this point or what I expect to make this year. My only worry is that what I've currently made up to this point doesn't qualify me at the 125% poverty line that they require, and I don't know if they will account for what is still left of the year. I'm leaning towards putting what I've made up this point anyway but just wanted to confirm that I am putting in the right information. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I have a few questions and I'm really hoping someone could provide some guidance.

My parents were documentarily qualified on May 10, 2023, for an F4 category with a priority date of August 2, 2007.
90 days later there is no message about interview at the embassy, case is still at NVC.

Their tourist visa is set to expire in December 2023. I'm wondering if I need to submit another application to renew their tourist visa. Will this renewal process have any impact on our ongoing green card application?

I remember reading somewhere that if the Priority Date is earlier than the final filing date, the interview could take place after document qualification.
Could someone please confirm whether, after being documentarily qualified, we should expect an interview when the final action date becomes current?

If this is indeed the case, I believe it's important for them to renew their tourist visa as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for any insights you can provide!

Just a quick update. I was able to get the Desplegado de denuncias from Ministerio Publico back in July and our lawyer sent the documents back to NVC early in August. I was not expecting to hear anything from NVC until late October or early November but last week I got the confirmation that our case is DQ! The bad news is that since my case is employment-based means that I will not be getting any appointment dates any time soon until the bans are lifted for those categories.

For those trying to get the right document, don't bother with the one above. It needs to be issued by Ministerio Publico and you can get it online in one or two days. You need to fill a form in MP's webpage and then you need to contact them using informacion@mp.gob.gt indicating that you have filled the form and give your DPI number, otherwise you will never get a response from them. Once you do that you will get your document(s) in a matter of hours.

Finally, if you ever lost a document and filed a complaint (denuncia) in order to get new ones issued, be warned that those complaints will show up in your Desplegado de denuncias. I didn't know that it was normal to have a few records on this document if you ever filed a denuncia and was freaking out trying to figure out why on earth would I have something in my record but it turns out this is completely normal as long as you appear as the aggrieved party. My documents were accepted without any issue by NVC. Hopefully this information will help someone out there!

This information was very useful. I have sent my Desplegado de denuncias to NVC, but they are requesting to submit a photocopy of my court and prision records indicating the nature of my conviction and sentence. I appear as the aggrieved party, so I don t know what exactly NVC is requesting since Antecedentes penales and Antecedentes Judiciales are not accepted by NVC?
