Hey all, Iv been looking for forums for Sacramento FO. I haven't seen any yet so figured why not create one so we can talk about experiences and keeping eachother updated on timelines for our local office.

No other updates this far on our case.

Hi,

Now that the i944 requirement is back, I have some questions.

1) We are above 125%. From what I read, I (the petitioner) don't need to include my assets. Does that mean my wife (the beneficiary) doesn't have to submit her assets (12 months worth of bank statements) as well?

2) If she needs to submit her bank statements, would we have to translate them all? 2-4 pages per bank statement. That's about 48 pages in total which will cost us over 900 dollars to translate. Will we be able to just translate one bank statement? Because the only thing that changes throughout all the bank statements is the list of purchase and the amount of money she has in her bank.

Help?

Hi,

My wife entered America on a K-1 Fiance Visa.

We mailed in our AOS on August 31, 2020. It arrived there on September 2nd. Today, we got our AOS back saying the fee we wrote on the check is incorrect. Our check was for $1,635.

$1,140 for I-485
$410 for I-765
$85 for biometrics

We didn't send in I-131 as we won't be needing that.

What did we get wrong?

Hello everyone,

I searched to see if anyone had the same problem, but I couldn't find any topic.

I was talking with a friend about green cards and when we needed to apply for removal of conditions and I realized that my green card has the dates for residency and expiration based on the dates I sent the package and my friend had the dates based on when the petition was approved. I tried to find what dates would be correct and it seems that mine is wrong.

Does anyone know if this happened before and what was done to solve the problem? I do not want to apply for ROC on a wrong date. I also used the green card for employment and driver's license and I do not want to be accused of any illegal activity, but I just learned know that my card may be wrong. I tried to contact USCIS but had no success.

Thanks for reading! I appreciate any help you can give.

Hi all,

Just found the site, wish we did sooner! I am a US citizen and my fiance lives in Portugal. We submitted the I-129f in August of 2019 and got the email that the NVC has forwarded our approved stuff to the French Embassy on March 31st.

Then the Covid happened and some of the anti immigrant executive orders.

Just checked: in early June status was changed to waiting for an interview.

Couple of questions:

1. Does anyone know if the French Embassy is doing K1 visa interviews?

2. We wait for something from the embassy before proceeding? I am not sure when she should fill out the DS160.

Thanks!!
