US Immigration from South Korea

My fianc e and I are concerned about our safety in the US. She is particularly concerned about the death rate and increasing amount of people who contract the disease, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried either. Her country has handled the situation much better and less people have it.

Do any of your fiances feel similar? Do they have any reservations coming to America at this time?

I'm in a tough spot. We decided it would probably be safest for me to move back to her country because of COVID and I do have a contract on the table, but yesterday I was offered a job here in America that's 7-12k more than the position in her country.

I'm not sure if the money is worth my safety and we'd be apart even longer. Surely we're not overreacting because of the virus and I assume you guys feel similar. Let me know how you guys have discussed this. Thanks.

I have filed for cr-1, pd: Dec 5th 2019.

It's been almost 9 months. My last update was January 17th 2020.

my spouse renewed his passport few weeks ago so he updated his passport on USCIS website today.

As soon as he did it, the last update date changed Jan 17th to August 17th.

Can it mean something? or is it just what happens when people update their documents on uscis..

he updated his address last week but there was no date change back then.

I know it is probably nothing but I am becoming desperate for noa2 now that we face furlough soon....

Hello guys,

My wife has her Advance Parole Document/travel permit that's valid until 9/24/20. We applied for a renewal on 6/16/20.

She left the country on 7/28 to visit her family in Korea and was planning to be back before her travel permit expired. We expected that her new card/renewal would arrive in the mail while she was gone. No big deal.

This was not the case, the USCIS sent a request for evidence stating that she forfeited her i-131 application. But she already has a travel permit active, this is just a renewal.

The request for evidence wants her to prove she was not on the flight that left 7/28.. but she was, because she's allowed to travel with her current active travel permit.

Can somebody please advise? What should I do in this situation?

Thank you very much!

Hello, I have a complex situation right now and I'm looking for help. I am citizen of South Korea and entered US with F-1 VISA. My husband is a US citizen.

Timeline:

-Interview July 2019

-RFE August 2019

-Denied January 2020

-Submitted EOIR-29 on February 19th

And I called USCIS and BIA but both say they can't find case. Is this normal and what action should I take? I'm confident our case should be approve. Here's my situation We had an interview last year summer but the officer said my divorce was not valid because both I and my ex was not living in South Korea at the time that divorce was finalize in court. I filed the divorce case in Korean court on February 2015 and I was living in Korea at that time. On March 2015, I came to US with F-1 visa to study. On March 2017, the divorce was settled. My ex's location is unknown during the divorce case but he went to the court and finalized the divorce when it was settled on March. Till I married my new husband on October 2018, I was a F-1 visa student. After denial letter, I've met a lawyer and sent EOIR-29 to Hialeah office arguing since Florida's law requires 6 months residency to file divorce and I lived in Korea for years before filing divorce. My lawyer supported this with a case from court and argue the cases that the USCIS officer provided are irrelevant since they represent quick "mail order" divorce. Recently I was researching and found other cases that can support me. Matter of MA could be apply to our case by In my case since, (1) Both parties were married in South Korea and were subsequently divorced in South Korea; (2) Both lived in South Korea as husband and wife for a period of time; (3) I was living in South Korea for years at the time of filing. Ex-husband, personally reported the divorce finalized by the court as it is required by the Korean law. (4)Both are citizens of South Korea. This matter of ma was used by USCIS to judge validity of foreign divorce. Also, I think I could make an argument that since I was in the US with F1 visa, my domicile was still South Korea and officer's assumption of my domicile being US is wrong and my divorce is valid. The only problem for me was that when the decision came out, I was studying in US.

What would my chance of appeal? How long it would take? Is it normal that BIA and USCIS can't find my case on the system?

I also divorce in Florida again remarried based on lawyer's recommendation but I still want the appeal to be successful because filing again is expensive.

Can I send additional arguments that I recently find? Because the denial letter arrived to the old address which was changed in the system 7 months ago, I lack time to met lawyer and send EOIR-29.

Thank you for your help!

Hey all,

Is the processing time different from the GC sponsor and US Citizen sponsor for I485?

It seems like US Citizen sponsor's processing time is most definitely faster than the GC holder sponsor.

I have a GC and got married last year and filed for Green Card package (I485, EAD, I130 and I131) and was scheduled to have interview before it got cancelled due to COVID-19.

Any GC holder sponsors waiting for their spouses to have interview or some kind of actions?
