US Immigration from Serbia

Hi everyone!

My fianc and I are currently early in the K-1 Visa process, but are starting to plan out where we are going to live, in context of the Adjustment of Status process. We have heard that the 5 USCIS processing centers (California, Vermont, Texas, Potomac, and Nebraska) are geographically dependent on where you are applying from, but can get transferred for no reason. This worries us, because some centers, like California and Vermont, are extremely backlogged and can take up to three years to deliver green cards, whereas Nebraska has a processing time of up to seven months. Has anybody else had these concerns, or managed to apply to the processing center of their choice by moving to the Mid-West?

We are interested in a number of different states, such as New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Michigan, and we wondered if anyone on the site has moved to these states; if so, which USCIS Center processed your case?

Hello Everyone,

I am writing hoping that someone has had a similar situation to what is currently happening to me.

So, I filed the I-751 removal of conditions with a waiver, because I got divorced in the meantime. On the application, I used my maiden name to file the I-751 with the intention to change my last name back to my maiden name. The Divorce Decree enclosed in the paperwork also had a legal name change approval by the court.

However, my 10-year green card just arrived and it's under my ex husbands last name I am absolutely devastated.

Does anyone know what my options are? I just submitted a Typographic Error e-request. I also saw the I-90 form, however I am wondering if this would be considered a case where USCIS made the mistake and I wouldn't have to pay the fees? Any advice is welcome!

Hi All, my fianc and I had our case transferred to the embassy in Prague a few weeks ago. During our initial conversation, the consular officer sent us a link to the webpage where we can schedule appointments. They told us to wait until our case arrives at the embassy before we schedule.

Today our status on the CEAC website changed from "In Transit" to "Ready." I've tried calling and emailing the embassy to see if we can go ahead and make our appointment online or if we need to do it over the phone, but no one is responding. Has anyone else come across this issue?

We're so confused. We've been in direct contact with the embassy in Prague over the last 2 weeks since they agreed to accept the transfer of our case.

According to the NVC website and 2 agents over the phone, our case is still at the NVC. However, I received an email from the embassy in Prague saying that they are currently reviewing our case.

So, how is it still at the NVC? I called the NVC after I got that email and they confirmed it's still there waiting to be sent to the embassy at an "undisclosed date." We're just ready for this to happen because the first available appointment time the embassy gave us was mid-January and we'd really like to snag it if it's still available.

Hello all -

I'm currently filling out the I-134 Affidavit of Support form in preparation for our K1 visa interview. I had a really great job until Covid hit and then the whole industry went down, therefore I haven't had any income besides unemployment since earlier this year. I have not found another job and am still unemployed.

Regarding the financial section of the form, what should I put down for Annual Income? Do I calculate what I made before my layoff or do I add my unemployment to it?

If I do not add unemployment, I don't make enough - obviously. If I do include the unemployment, I make enough (thank you stimulus add-ons). I'm not sure what number to include.

Side note, we do have a joint sponsor so my question only pertains to what information I should write down.

Thank you!
