Hello everyone, I have a question. So I read on the ucis website that all foreign documents must be translated to English by a certified translator as far as the website states it says birth and marriage certificates, police records and bank statements. But here's my question, a friend wrote me an affidavit of support letter for a bona fide marriage, does this too has to be translated by a certified translator or can I do it myself?

Hello everyone,

I am currently thinking of petitioning my soon to be husband. A little backstory first, I was born in the states and lived there for 13 years before my parents decided to move back to Guatemala. We've been living in Guatemala for 12 years now, and honestly I want to move back to the states, I have gone every year to visit my family in the US. Ok now to the actual info that matters, I have been dating my boyfriend for 9 years and we're both ready to get married in June (we have not lived together, I've been living with my parents) and want to move to the US. So I started researching the whole process of petitioning and all the fee's, I came across Direct Consular Filing under Exceptional Circumstances and would like to start the process. I have been applying to jobs to get the relocation letter and am waiting to get hired from one hopefully. I would deeply appreciate it if someone can give my a little guidance on how to this because I feel so lost. My questions are:

1. How do I start this process, do I have to go directly to the embassy of Guatemala or can I do it online?

2. What's the time frame of relocation notice? can it be implying me to leave to work in 2,3,4 months?

3. I will be having a joint sponsor since I have not lived in the states for 12 years, Can my joint sponsor be my brother? he has a stable job and is earning more than the total year earnings.

4. My brother can hire me and give me the relocation notice, Would this be a problem?

5. If the embassy approves, how long would it be expected for my boyfriend to get his visa/green card/SSN?

6. What kind of documents would they want me to show to see if our relationship is real?

7. Do you think DCF-EC is the way to go?

Would be very thankful if someone can help me answer these questions also can I start the process as soon as next month or July since we are getting married in June?

My K-1 Application was received May 08, 2020 at the Texas processesing building. I then received a Notice of Action on January 13, 2021 and the letter said that if I did not hear back from them within 30 days to contact them. I sent them a message via their contact form page 2 weeks ago and still haven't heard back. The letter also says the approval notice is only valid until May 12, 2021. What is next? Where else can I contact someone?

Hello everyone!

so I have some questions that I hope I can get answers to.

Are we required to get insurance for our spouses aboard before the interview?

and I was trying to figure out the DS 5540 but it says its unavailable and then I read this.

Update on Public Charge

Hello everyone!

So hopefully biden will lift the ban today and I have a question about expediting our case.

Just today in the morning when i was headed to work i got into a bad wreck and my car is simply useless and i know i will struggle to get back and fourth to work until i can find an affordable car or a new job near. I am really nervous of what i will do in the upcoming days since i have ended up in the hospital because of bad neck pains before and this will make it worse. Do i have a good reason to expedite? Thanks in advance!
