US Immigration from Sri Lanka

Hello guys. Small question. How does this DS 5540 form work? Does this apply for pending i 130 petitions with the USCIS as well? We didn t get the NOA 2 yet but what happens when we get the approval? I heard the public charge rule applies only for the petitions/applicants file on or after 24th February 2020 but I m not sure about this since we will again have to file the ds 260 after the approval. Does the beneficiary have to go through this as well apart from the DS 260?

Mary and I met online in 2017, and I traveled to meet her in Sri Lanka January 2018. We spent a month together, and became serious. I have since traveled to her four times, staying 30 days each visit. We were advised to pursue a K1 visa as it could be quicker, that did not turn out to be true.

I filed an exhaustive (exhausting) professionally prepared I-29F 09/14/2018. In April 2019 Mary had her interview at the Colombo Embassy. The CO sent a scribbled request for more info on my income and prior relationships. This was promptly sent. My income had just about doubled in the prior two years, so ??. And I have been married/divorced three times, and had previously brought a Philippina on fianc e visa, who decided she would not like to live here and returned to her family. As to that experience most of my records had been lost, and my memory had blotted it out, (I am 72 so erasing memories is fairly easy)

Mary and I had no additional info from the Embassy, so Sept 2019 I sent a query, which received a sort of auto reply. At the suggestion of the consultant I contacted my US Senator, and his office was quick to help. In November 2019 Mary was called to Colombo to answer a few questions When she arrived however a secretary handed her back her documents and said a visa could not be issues in this circumstance She was not afforded any explanation. Eventually a letter was forwarded by the Senator stating the visa was denied, but offering no reason, and my subsequent entireties have been ignored.

I traveled to Mary Dec 2019, and we decided to pursue the K3 and were married 01/03/2020. We are working without consultant on this, I have since retired and have the time. In trying to document bonafide marriage, I have tried to open a joint account at three banks, (in which I already have accounts) and have been denied as she is not present, or a legal resident. She has tried her bank in Sri Lanka and had the same answer.

Has anyone any advice on proving financial blending, (other than documenting the monthly budget I send?)

Hey guys I have a small question that s bothering me. I m a US Citizen but currently living abroad and I have petitioned for my spouse with the USCIS. And I m going back to US this week to re-establish my domicile after living a lot of years in Sri Lanka. So as y all know when you move somewhere you re required to inform to the USCIS about that. But I do not want them to mail me the letters where I m planning to stay at. Instead I want them to mail me the letters and everything to someplace else. So my question is when I move back to US and when I inform them if they ll confuse and mail me the letters where I m planning to stay at. Just give me your thoughts on what should I do. Thanks guys!!!!

Hello all!!

Quick question! As y all know the trump s new public charge rule was approved recently, are the people awaiting the i130 petition to be approved affected by this? Or does this apply to new filters? The petition was applied outside the US. I m a bit confused.

thanks

Guys!! Small question. I saw on the USCIS website that the final rule of public charge will be applied only for the applicants/petitioners postmarked on or after Oct 15th 2019 (if applicable submitted electronically). What does this mean? Does it mean that the i130 petitions postmarked after Oct 15th 2019? Or AOS submitted on or after Oct 15th 2019. I mean although the rule is on hold for the time being, I just wanna know if this goes into effect someday, the stage of the process this applies to? Thanks in advance!!!!
