US Immigration from Japan

Hello,

USPS forwarded us USCIS mail that was sent to an old address, reminding my spouse to file for ROC soon.

We have moved twice since then (and are now living on the other side of the country) and filed AR-11 appropriately online both times. I have the online confirmation #s and forms saved. I also filed the Sponsor's Change of Address I-865 form and received confirmation that they processed that by mail.

Is it possible that USCIS somehow didn't process the AR-11 (even though we have the confirmation), and because I filed I-865, they now think me and my spouse live in completely separate locations? Is this going to cause problems when ROC is filed?

My wife just started seeing a Dr. for some depression after the birth of our kid. The Dr. said she might be bipolar. She just started seeing the Dr. so they cant officially diagnose her yet.

I want to know what I need to keep track of now, so I don't miss anything.

What documents and paperwork will I need?

Anything I need to be careful about for the medical exam?

Hello all!

I'm in the process of organizing all of my documents for NVC (waiting on Japanese police cert to hit submit).

As I was reviewing our package, I realized that we forgot to mention an address that my wife (beneficiary) had while she studied abroad in Australia (homestay). She maintained her address in Japan the whole time. This is the only address she's ever had outside of her home country (Japan) .

Luckily, she only stayed there for 5 months and 20 days so no police report is needed.

What's the best course of action?

Wait for DQ and contact the consulate?

Tell them at the interview?

Contact the NVC ASAP?

I know many ds260 mistakes can be fixed during the interview, but I just want to be sure that spending time in another country 8 years ago isn't one of the "big" mistakes that can't be fixed!

Thanks for any advice!

Hello everyone!

I am completely new to this. I tried reading many forums as I could in regards to this subject, but noticed it's not the most talked about subject on here. When trying to look on USCIS' website, I felt I couldn't enough information as to how to write the letter or even a specific mailing address to send to withdraw my application.

The thing is my fianc and I plan to simply get married in Japan and skip the long processing times so that I can petition for a spouse visa instead. We thought it would be better dealing with it together rather than dealing with long distance :)

But now I'm concerned if it would affect him in any way since I previously petitioned for a K1 visa?

And I'm not sure if I even sent it the correct address?? Which is also frustrating us :(

I had

P.O BOX 30111

Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-0111

as the address on the Notice of Action I last received by mail. Would this have been correct?

It's been 2 weeks since I sent it (priority mail, usps) and our case on the website is still the same. Should I be worried?

Any help will be greatly appreciated! :)

Hello Japan friends!

I'm hoping to get a little information on what you all did in regards to the police report upload portion of the Civil Documents through CEAC.
Obviously, I have to upload something or explain why I don't have one and will bring it to the interview sealed.

Some sources say wait until the US Consulate tells you to get one before the interview.
Some say get it during NVC and upload a scan of the sealed envelope with a note stating why it's sealed.
Some say just say NOT AVALIABLE and explain that it will be brought to the interview.
Some say they uploaded the sealed envelope and then were told that it wasn't necessary to upload via CEAC.

Considering it takes 2 weeks to get one, I'd like to not sit around and wait if there's no reason to!

This seems to be a uniquely Japanese problem so I'm hoping that we can pool a little bit of info here for myself and future applicants.


Take care and thanks in advance!
