US Immigration from Japan

I, the sponsor, have a few questions/ things I'd like to get clarified regarding the remainder of my visa process.

1) Probably the most easily answered is that I believe I need to have just under $44,000 for a household size of 6 (Me, my wife, and my four kids). My plan was to get a job offer from my company (U.S. based, I'm not working overseas) and use that to prove AOS. I'm now considering adding a family member for AOS, instead.

2) Related to the above, I'm trying to finish up the AOS and I'm stuck on the portion where it says to list dependents/children who will be immigrating with my spouse. Since I have transmitted my U.S. citizenship to my kids i.e. they are U.S. citizens, is this still required? If so, it would mean I would have to fill out additional paperwork for each child, something that would be nice to avoid.

3) I was trying to be proactive and have my wife pick up her "Criminal History Certificate" from the Police HQ in Saitama. They told her she needed a document indicating what type of information they would need to provide. I read on the Japan embassy website that "Instructions from the NVC" or other documents would suffice, but I don't think I've received any specific instructions from the NVC apart from the paper that says her visa portal account had been created and to follow the 12-steps to finish the process. I also read on here that the instructions would be sent in Japanese. Can someone please confirm?

Thanks for assisting!

Apologies for the second thread, but I feel this is a distinct enough topic to warrant its own discussion.

My spouse and I did not have a wedding ceremony or purchase engagement rings. It s also not something that we plan to do, though we may purchase rings in the future, it s not a priority at all. There was no proposal or any event like that, we simply discussed that we wanted to get married after having been together already for many years.

We have plenty of other evidence of a relationship. Joint bank accounts, life insurance for both of us, joint utilities bills, lease, health insurance, etc.

Is this a concern for the AOS interview?

I m asking because some of the original material (documents, etc) submitted with the K1 package is in my spouse s country and not with us, and I m not sure if we will be able to obtain that in time for the AOS interview. Will this be a problem?

The AOS interview letter only mentions bringing originals from the AOS application (or at least, that is what it seems to imply).

Should we be concerned and be rushing to obtain originals?

Hello!

My fianc and I are preparing I-29F and it's almost done.

We will do double check this weekends.

I'm wondering when we, actually HE ( American citizen) should send money?

What timing did you send money?

and how long did you take to get the payment certification ?

Thank you!

I and my daughter mailed i485 for adjustment of status on February 7th 2021. (Initial visa is k1 and k2.)

We haven't received NOA1 yet.

We confirmed that our package was delivered.

My husband says it's going to be ok, they are just taking their time due to the corona virus.

But I'm getting worried because it's too late. .

I'm asking my husband to call them but he doesn't believe that he's going to be able to get a hold of somebody in USCIS.

I can't inquiry on their website since I don't have the receipt number.

Did someone call them and could you get a hold of them? Or is there anyboy that received NOA1 that late?

Thank you.
