US Immigration from Ireland

I received my I-130 approval and we are just about ready to submit the I-485 adjustment of status. Do we need to submit the I-765 from for working as well? I looked at the form and it basically has all the same questions included in the I-485. Does the I-485 include being able to be approved for work as well?

Just filed Hubs' N-400 on 6/4. He's been eligible for nearly 7 years; we just let life get in the way. Welcome to the thread!

Hi all,

Submitted for AOS paperwork on 5/01 and just received a letter yesterday 5/30 with an RFE. The RFE states:

"Why We Are Writing You

On May 1 , 2023, you submitted your Form I-485. We are writing to inform you that we need more information from you to make a decision on your case. Please read this letter carefully and follow all of the instructions below.

What You Need To Do

You must provide het following information in order for us to make a final decision on your case. Please include a copy of AL pages of this letter with your response.
Based on the documents submitted, we could not determine that the petitioning sponsor on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, is qualified. In order to be a qualified sponsor, the petitioning sponsor's Form I-864 must be properly completed and signed, and the supporting documents must establish that the petitioning sponsor's income meets 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline for the sponsor's household size. See Form I-864P for information on the Federal Poverty Guidelines."

I am very confused cause I believed that we did all the paperwork correctly and my total income was above the poverty guidelines. I looked over the submitted papers and everything looks fine however my initial submission included a 1040X (amended return) as my accountant messed up the numbers when he submitted my tax return. I see now that the transcript for 2022 includes a different number than what was under total income in 1040X. Could this have been the issue? Do the agencies share this info to confirm and flag if the number is off (it's off by like $300).

I will resubmit today but I have some questions:

- is it better to submit online than by mail?

- this time I will not include my tax return but rather the tax return transcript (with no additional paperwork 1099, etc.)

- I am self employed and this year (because of the writer's strike) I have been affected financially. Should I just write last year's total income on taxes as my "annual income?"

- how many times can you be RFE'd before you get denied?

Thanks all.

Hey all.

I am a non citizen. My wife is usc.

She previously petioned a K1 for me and was successful. Adjusted status, got a 10 year green card.

We then moved back to my home country to work.

Since then, I have only re-entered the US on an ESTA as a tourist to visit my inlaws.

We are now thinking about moving back to the US.

When reading up on how to approach it I found the below. Does anyone have any info on this type of visa? You think we'd qualify? Amy success stories out there?

Thanks!

"If you remain outside of the United States for more than 2 years, any reentry permit granted before your departure from the United States will have expired. In this case, it is advisable to consider applying for a returning resident visa (SB-1) at the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. An SB-1 applicant will be required to establish eligibility for an immigrant visa and will need a medical exam."

Hi guys!

I just had my interview today. I everything went smoothly until the consular started reviewing our documents. We missed one part on the i-134, but apart from that he said everything looks fine and he doesn't see any problem. However, he returned my passport and gave me a 221-g slip that has instructions for us to send back my passport and a fully completed i-134 form. So as soon as I got out of the embassy, me and my fiance were Facetiming and we had the documents express mailed back to the US embassy on the same day.

I wonder if anyone has had the same experience and if so, how long did it take for the embassy to process your documents?
