US Immigration from Israel

Hi everyone,

I am trying to help my relatives (a husband and wife) to understand whether they are eligible to become US citizens.

They received their green card in 2008. They renewed their green card in 2018, and it is set to expire in 2028.

They have been traveling quite a bit over the last 5 years.

In 2017 they have been present in the US for less than 185 days. In the last 5 years, the husband spent about 1100 days in the US, and the wife spent about 1200 days in the US. They never spent more than 6 months continuously outside of the US.

Would this be an issue?

Thank you!

I m writing this post just to vent out my frustration.
As you can see, I have been waiting for EAD for 1 year and 3 months. I really think that it s unreasonable to expect from anyone not to be able to work for such a long time, and just sit at home without being able to financially support my kids (who are USC). I called the USCIS many times, and they told me that there are delays that are not specifically related to my case. I already filed 2 requests of outside normal processing times, and I filed to requests for expedited processing. Is there anything else that I can do?!

EAD Filing date: 09/23/2019

Biometrics: 10/31/2019

AOS filing date: 10/8/2019

RFE for AOS: 11/4/2019

Hi All,

This forum has been super helpful and has a treasure trove of good information. Of course, everybody's case is slightly different so it can be a bit confusing at times.

Currently at the NVC stage submitting the AOS documentation, i864 form etc before sending to the consulate(ISRAEL) for interviewing scheduling.

After fixing my domicile status to USA and providing all of the evidence, I resubmitted the documents, I now got this reply:

"SPONSOR_NAME does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case.
The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview.

So my main questions are:

1. Assuming my income reported for the last 3 years abroad is foreign, regardless of the amount being way above and beyond the requirements - due to income exclusion on my 1040 reported on my taxes - it is ZERO as far as the NVC is concerned?
2. Can you request to resubmit my i864 again and should I add cash assets here abroad which can also cover the requirement? Is it even worth it?
3. NVC requested proof of current employment which i can easily provide although once again - I do not have an "official" relocation letter from my company just yet until 2021...

I am trying to understand will the consular officer understand my current financial status if I provide all bank account statements, paystubs for the last 12 months etc..

My husband and I were finishing submitting the DS-260 and he looked at the DS-1810, he signed the e signature and we CANNOT move to the next spot. They won t let us upload documents or anything. We ve been trying for two days and can t get it done. Are we doing something wrong? Is there a reason why we can t submit the DS-260? Every part of it is filled out and yeah...I m getting mad at my computer .

Thanks to anyone who can tell me what I m doing wrong!

Does anyone know what is going on the US consulate in Israel?

I heard they are not open for interviews. Does anyone have any more information?
