US Immigration from Italy

Hello!

I'm the (prospect) beneficiary of a K1 Visa applied by my fianc e, a US citizen, and we're waiting for NOA2, hopefully by end of April 2021.

Looking at the Affidavit of support requirements we know she won't qualify with only her assets and apparently will require a co-sponsor.

In the I-134 form I can't see any way to let the beneficiary partecipate with his own assets to close the gap. Can you confirm that?

I've also read that in the following Adjustment of Status process, filling up the I-864 form, the beneficiary can partecipate with his own assets to the financial requirements. In our case this would let us avoid the need of a co-sponsor which is a concern for us.

If we prepare BOTH the I-134 AND the I-864 and the required evidences for the Visa interview, would this provide the proof that we can meet, together, the financial requirements and so that the '(non)immigrant' will not become a public charge?

Are there similar success cases with this strategy?

Thanks a lot for any expert advice you can provide!

Hi,

I have found hard to understand the date of my AOS NOA1 this time.

I know that after the fiscal year - 21- the following three digits should correspond to a Julian calendar date. But what if those three digits are 906 ?

Can someone help me?

Thank you!

Hello,

I live in Houston and I filed for a family based Adjustment of Status and EAD in May 2020. I haven't received any news since July of last year. I have been trying to use the online tools to create a request for an outside processing time case but I haven't received any response... and calling the USCIS number is worthless because of the automated voice which doesn't allow me to talk to a representative. Is there anybody else in the same situation? Is this normal?

Is there any other number to contact USCIS?

Thanks!

In September 2020, I had an appointment for the F1 visa at the embassy and I got accepted. However, I didn't know that I had to leave Italy in the 1 month window after receiving the visa.

My classes started in January 2021, so we decided for me to send my passport via courier to the embassy in December 2020 so that the 1 month window would overlap with the start of my classes.

Unfortunately, COVID got worse and with all those flights being cancelled and stuff, I decided to not go in January and keep being a remote student for the time being. Now that everything kinda settled in (and for other personal reasons), I decided to go in the States but now there's a problem:

What do I do?

Do I just send them the passport and they give it back with the visa or do I have to re-do the appointment?

Is the start date of classes on the I-20 a problem? (In the appointment, the start date was in January 2021, but if asked I can onbtain an I-20 of any future date from my university)

If I have an updated I-20 given to me from my university, do I send it with my passport?

I tried calling already but I still have doubts regarding this situation.

If anyone is nice enough to replay to me, then thanks a lot!

Hi all,

I just received a RFE, due may 6th. So theres some time, but I'm both kind of annoyed and surprised AND worried lol.

What we sent with my I-751 (filed in june 2020) was 2 leases (from 2020 to 2021 of our new place) and our 2019 tax return. I didn't really add more because from my understanding (and what the lady interviewing us in 2018 said), tax return and lease should be more than enough for this petition. Regardless, my questions are as follows.

1- We are going to add the leases we had from 2018 to 2020, but before it's impossible (cuz I wasn't on the lease for reasons)... but i would imagine 2 extra years worth of lease would have a pretty decent impact no?

2- We are going to add the 2020 taxes... and send again the 2018 and 2019 taxes. We got married in 2017 (iirc right after he did taxes, or right before, so it wouldnt have mattered anyways, no?). I'm sure they have the 2018 tax return cuz i submitted it live at the interview, but again, since it was mentioned on the RFE resubmitting that year should still help?

3- My name is on the phone bill as well, but not much else... I think utilities are alongside rent and well, the internet its just at my own name. We have a shared bank account, but we use it mostly to move funds between us, not as much else, so it's dry most of the time. Not sure if it's worth including that? (though its been active since...2017 lol)

4- We have a couple of pictures taken over the years from 2/3 family trips and some selfies we take together every now and then, not sure how helpful those would be?

So yeah, i'm not quite sure what else could we submit, do y'all think 2 more years of lease and this year tax return and phone bill would be enough??? We're literally two boring ### dudes, too broke to have a mortgage or a car, not sure what else to provide

Not sure if I should start looking into an immigration attorney either. As i mentioned we're two broke dudes and if i could avoid that since ive done everything on my own, i'd rather to keep it that way!

Also, is it normal for the RFE to ask us to send evidence directly to someone and not one of the offices?
