US Immigration from Kazakhstan

Hi Folks,

I am about to step in tax filing season for the year 2022, but I am not sure which status i have to be. I sponsored a green card to my parent, who came to on Late July. Due to the senior age, she did not work entire year and relied on my income. According to IRS portal, dependent should live with you more than 6 months to file as a head of household. Turbo tax software asked basic questions such as who and how many months lived with you till December 31 and it seems I am qualified for a head of household, but I want to confirm with those who faced the situation like mine.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I am sponsoring an IR/CR-1.

I am wondering how the 1-year petition completion application rule is enforced at NVC. My case was received by NVC on February 20th, 2022 and I received an email from them on March 15th, 2022 with the bill to pay. I paid the two fees the same day. I have not formally submitted any document since then due to various circumstances. But, I have been logging onto CEAC and was working on the DS-260 recently.

Does this mean that the petition will expire on March 15th 2023, since that is a year since I made my account? Or does the 1-year timer restart every time I login to CEAC. Or do I have to submit the DS-260 to restart the timer, or do I have to have all documents (DS-260, civil documents, AOS) submitted in CEAC?

Thanks for your help?

Hi folks,

I sponsored my mom's green card and she is expected to be coming in July. I live in California and medical insurance is a must for all residents. I was checking basic plans for her (she is 62) and prices start from $700 per month, which definitely i won't be able to afford and most likely I want to lean towards medicaid. Also, i checked public charge guideline for sponsors and it looks like non-cash federal assistance is not longer part of the public charge. Can you guys confirm it if anyone encountered with this matter?

Hello folks,

After checking the online status of our refund, I can clearly see that they are not approving the stimulus payment for me. I know what the problem is: the tax accountant my husband uses did not submit a statement signed by us asking to treat me a resident for tax purposes, despite me stating that it has to be included (he dismissed my concerns). So what could be done now? I have never dealt with taxes, let alone issues like these so I really appreciate any advice

To add: I received my GC 2 weeks ago, after submitting the tax return. Also we filed MFJ

Hi! has anyone already tried to travel with K1 visa and being vaccinated with Sputnik? I know that sputnik is not approved by WHO and CDC so you cannot travel to US with it.

I wonder if somebody tried. you are allowed to travel to US not being fully vaccinated if you have an immigrant visa. I'm confused if K1 visa is a immigrant or nonimmigrant visa.

I'm vaccinated with Sputnik. revaccination requires only one shot but CDC demands two to allow to cross the border. so I'm in a trap if K1 needs covid vaccination. what should I do?
