US Immigration from Taiwan

Hi everyone,

hope all are well. as we have been received our NOa 1 on july 3rd and currently still waiting for NOA2 result.

It has been over 115days and knowing still would take a little while since the processing time is slow due to the Covid-19.

Wondering if there is things or documents that we could started preparing while waiting for the NOA 2??

Feel like if there is something we could prepare ahead of time would ease the anxious of waiting.

THank you all !!

My husband (USC) and I (immigrant ) are preparing docs for marriage green card aos. He has earning this year but he's currently unemployed. Earning this year is around $10000. I do have a job now and the income meets the poverty line but not sure if it will be qualified since it's F1 OPT income (have had some discussion on other threads on this and it seems that it really depends on the officer). In short, we are thinking to include assets if they don't accept my F1 OPT income. Can't find a co-sponsor either.

What we have now is some cash in bank and stock. We have two cars (one under his name and one under mine). Is there any way we can use one of the cars (preferably his since it's worth more) to use an asset? And if so, what documents besides the car title do we need?

Thank you in advance!

My husband (USC) and I (immigrant) are preparing docs for marriage green card aos. My husband earns around $10000 in 2020. According to poverty guideline 125%, his annual income needs to be $21550 to meet i864 requirements. So we are planning to use assets to be qualified. I know that to use assets, the amount has to be three times the difference between the 125%of poverty guideline for two people and the sponsor's annual income if he's only sponsoring me (his spouse).

So based on this, below is my calculation:

We will need ($21550 - $10000)*3, which is $34650 worth of assets if we want to use assets to meet the i864 requirement.

Please let me know if my calculations and understanding are correct on this.

Thank you!

For people who applied for an EAD card with your green card aos application in 2020, what does the timeline look like? How long after you filed did you receive your EAD card?

Thanks!

I am currently on F1 first year OPT. I plan to send out my marriage-based green card AOS in the end of October 2020. I am wondering if my green card EAD card hasn't come before my current opt EAD card expires in May 2021, am I able to apply for OPT stem extension while I have a green card application in progress? How will USCIS find out if I file an OPT extension while having a pending gc application?

My main concern is my job. If my OPT expires before I can get the green card EAD then I may lose the job due to not having the right to work. And I am not sure how long green card EAD would take now due to the pandemic.

Let me know if anyone has applied for OPT stem extension while having a pending gc application!
