US Immigration from Japan

Hello everyone, I hope this is the right place to ask this.

Has anyone taken a valid covid test as required for travelling to Japan? I'm very confused with all the types of testing centers and which ones will actually meet the Japanese requirements.

Hi, we received a RFE today saying "must submit a copy of their birth certificate issued by the appropriate civil
authority in their country of birth. We will only accept a long-form birth certificate which lists at least one
parent."

I was born in USSR, which does not exist anymore, but even in my passport is says that I was born in USSR and not Russia.

We sent the copy of my USSR birth certificate with AOS package, and I also see the scan of it on my USCIS account.

It is the official document and even has the apostile on it, and it has both my parents names.

So, I am confused what exactly they want?

1. Do they want the birth certificate issued by Russia, and not USSR?

2. What happens if we just send them the same copy USSR birth certificate, and they still don't like it? Will they send us another RFE or just drop the case?

Thank you

I apologise if this is in the wrong forum. My husband went through the AOS process after arriving in the US in Feb or March of 2020 (very lucky to have gotten in before lockdown ). With 2022 approaching, we are thinking about next year's condition removal process.

His Japanese passport is now expired and normally their embassy makes a stop in our state for people abroad to renew. Because of COVID, that is not happening. He would have to physically pick up at embassy or consulate.

I'm assuming it is, but does his passport need to be current for interview next year? With snow possible from late October it may be a rough drive.

Probably man more details than necessary, just looking for insight so everything goes smoothly.

I got letter about interview about Green card. But when I submitted I-485 form in April 2019. Two years over past, should I make new I-693 form again?

Hello,

Some context:
I lived in Japan for the past 10 years up until August, then I moved back to the U.S. for work at the end of the month.
My wife and daughters (U.S. citizens) are still in Japan waiting on my wife's visa.

I finally got a response from NVC after submitting my documents back in June. They accepted all of my documents - a 2019 and 2020 tax returns - but asked for 2020 W2's - which I don't have since I lived in Japan the entire year and 1099 which I assume to be 1099-div. I have submitted my Japan tax return filing in lieu of this, under foreign taxes.
Aside from the tax transcript, which I may/may not be to get since they're sending it to my address in Japan. Is there anything else I should submit?

Also, I see crazy timelines for NVC reviewing resubmitted documents, anywhere from 2 weeks - 2 months+. The apartment I had in Japan will run out of its lease in November, leaving my wife and daughters having to find new housing. Can someone please clarify the timelines? I'd like to get a better idea so I can prepare.
