Hello Everyone,

My husband (the sponsor) has $0 income right now, and we plan to solely use my husband's assets (savings, checking, and stocks) to satisfy the poverty guideline requirement for I-864. (More than 3X of the poverty guideline.)

I learned from this forum that we needed to prove the assets have been here for at least the past 6 months to be safe.

So we are wondering in form I-864, do we enter the MOST RECENT value of his assets stated on the most recent bank statement, or do we enter an AVERAGE value (for example, the average ending balance of a savings account for the past 6 months)?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi VJ! I am here to ask question if theres anyone who had recently interview in HK US Embassy or are they open and scheduling interview in HK? Its been a while since the last time I received an email saying they are going to mail a letter and email for interview schedule but I still didn't get any email for my mom for her interview or medical. According to the email we need to wait the mail or email before my mom can schedule a medical and then schedule an interview. So I am wondering if anyone that live in Macao or HK had an interview during this pandemic? I tried to contact NVC but I cant get a hold of them. I am hoping to get some answer thank you. I also need to change my mom address as she move to a different address but the same city anyone can tell me how to change the address on her application? Thank you again.

Just wanted to share with you all my experience and hope that we can all learn from this.

We are still waiting for a NOA2 (receipt date: 14 Apr 2020) and our case is outside of processing time (original filing location Texas). We asked Emma to connect us to a live agent last Friday and the particular agent assigned told us that our case has been transferred from Texas (9-12 months) to Vermont (28-36 months). After which they promptly disconnected the chat. Naturally, we were pretty upset as we were never sent any notification about this . After the weekend, we thought we should at least find out when our case was transferred so we can at least chat with our lawyer to plan the best course of action. Long story short, yesterday my husband requested a live agent again from Emma and we were told that our case is in fact NOT at Vermont and we are actually at Texas before the chat was cut short again. Launching yet another chat, we were told our case is still apparently not outside of processing time (even though Texas' current receipt date for inquiry is 28 Apr 2020) and we need to wait another 1 week before we can submit an inquiry.

Let this be a lesson for those who ask for information from USCIS agents to ask multiple times from different agents to ensure the information provided is indeed correct. It is simply beyond me how they can employ people who give out such crucial information incorrectly and can get away with it.

Hi our case was transferred to the embassy early Feb and its status has been ready since mid Feb but we haven t received p3 instructions.

when we contacted the consulate, we got genetic replies saying that they are understaffed and cant address individual p3 request.

We also haven t seen any visa approval from HK on this website.. Has anyone got p3 or interview appointments for k1 or immigrant visas from the consulate?

Thanks.
