US Immigration from Peru

My case was approved by the USCIS on March 26th, and I still haven t heard back from the NVC that they ve received it and you can t contact them by phone. Is this normal? Are they still operating

Hi everybody! I am new to this thread since up until a month ago I was doing NVC consular processing for my IR1. I have been married to my USC husband for three and a half years and we have lived in my home country (where we met and married), and then Germany for my Postgraduate Studies. After I graduated, we left Germany and came to the US, drove around the country camping for a few months and then came back to my in-laws house which we were using as our home base while getting our own life sorted. My husband started looking for a job in January once we decided we wanted to settle in this area and start our ''american life'', and I was getting ready to fly to Peru to wait for my interview at the consulate to finish this whole thing. But as we all know, global pandemic got in the way of it all, so we decided (with legal advice) that I would just stay here and file AOS instead.

We are now preparing the paperwork and stumble upon the horrible I944. My husband is currently unemployed since he had just started looking for jobs when everything came to a stop. He hasn't been in the system, having lived a rather ''non traditional'' life as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Peru and then working freelance as an artist in Germany. We both have Masters, so we have the qualifications to get a job. I have 4 years of work experience as a Psychologist and I am proficient in three languages. Also, the German Goverment fully funded my MA as part of an Award which included monthly stipend, health insurance and family allowance. I am saying all of this since in the I944 they are supposed to be looking at the whole picture so I think that should give me some points despite the fact that we are both currently unemployed and uninsured. Also, neither of us has ever used public benefits of any kind.

I own an apartment in my home country that I am counting on my assets which puts us barely above the 3x125% above poverty line, so we asked my father in law to be our joint sponsor. He is retired but his yearly income goes way over the 3x125% above poverty line. We were adviced to wait until my husband has a job lined up with health insurance before filing the AOS, but in these circumstances it might be a while for that to happen, and I might have a better chance since I have more work experience than him. Also, my tourist visa is running out in 45 days. I read somewhere that a signed affidavit by my joint sponsor saying that he would take care of expenses that might arise until I have a job might help me since I am not planing on purchasing any health insurance. Is it crazy to file our AOS as unemployed/uninsured? will it be an automatic no despite years of marriage and having been living abroad, despite a family member as our joint sponsor?

Sorry for the long post, and I appreciate your thoughts on this!

Hello everyone, My mom who is US Citizen filed a petition for me as unmarried daughter in 2014, now my petition has been approved but I am married with 3 children. How can I file my DS-260? I have changed my legal name in my passport to my married name. I'm afraid that this will delay my priority date. What can I do?

Hello!

I have some questions about the Pandemic Unemployment. I had 2 part time jobs, one aloud me to work remotely with less hours and I'm currently doing that but my other job was a cashier in a supermarket that didn't follow any rule to protect their workers or the clientes againt the COVID. And last weeks of my job were intense and hard that led me to having panic attacks so I had to quit for my health concerns. I only worked in that market since December of last year so I think maybe I could qualify for PAU, but I have a condicional residence and I heard that asking for un employment benefits could be an issue when I ask for permanent residence and citizenship. Does anyone knows wha is the best to do in this case? I live in NY btw.

Thank you!!

Sorry if this has already been answered but I couldn't find if anyone had asked this. Does anyone know if the California office is still processing I-129F? Or has everything been put on pause?
