US Immigration from Thailand

FYI, the homepage auto-redirected me to a malicious site oojaishaibak(dot)net.

I'm not sure if was caused by a malicious ad or not. Don't think i clicked on any ad from the home page. Admin may want to review to see if site has been compromised.

I met a woman in Thailand (I am in the USA) and she has a valid B2 visa. I visited her in Thailand for 3 weeks, and we have become close friends. As such, she came back to the USA with me and is staying for 3 months to visit and sight see. She is planning to return to Thailand on the 16th of this month for matters to attend to, and after 2 months at home there, return to the USA to visit me for 6 months.

Is there any sort of restriction that would hinder our plans?

Thank you.

Hey all, I checked current processing times and it looks like work authorizations (form I-765) from December 2024 are currently being processed.

My wife's K-1 visa was approved earlier in 2024. We were married in July 2024 and within a few months had filed all subsequent necessary documents, including the I-765. Every other document has been assigned a case number and has been confirmed either as received or in process.

The I-765 is not listed. Maybe this is due to the fact it was initially filed with an incorrect fee. I can actually see that case was denied on 10/18/24 for that reason - there was a discrepancy in the fee our attorney sent and an updated fee based on filing other documents. We re-filed a new I-765 in mid-November, however, and the case is not shown anywhere nor has a new case number been assigned.

We have reached out to USCIS support that gave a copy and pasted line about how things can take a while. I asked them at what point should I be taking any action given there's a slim possibility the mail was either lost or somehow sent to the wrong address. I was then given the same copy and pasted line and disconnected. I've also tried an email inquiry with USCIS which I was told was received and that they'd try to reply, about two weeks ago, but no response there either.

Given there is no new case number assigned yet should I be concerned, or am I just experiencing unlucky variance on timing. Maybe with the new admin and general chaos there have been delays (layoffs?) and I should continue waiting? Or is thre any proactive action I should take?

Thank you,

Phil

Hi, we have heard from the NVC that they received our application, and it's on its way to the Embassy in Vietnam. However, I am worried about how my fiance can fill out Form I-134 because he's retired (he wanted to start his own business and retired young), and has not filed taxes in the past 3 years. Google told us that assets are usually not accepted as proof of income? He has two paid-off houses but only started renting one out a few months ago for 3k/month. His business made some small profit last year but he has yet to file his 2024 taxes. Together, his retirement and investment accounts are well over 15x the poverty guideline. We are both marrying for the first time, no kids. Are these account statements enough as proof of resources or can we include the real estate assets somehow (no mention of them in the form instruction)? We don't have any potential joint sponsor, both his parents are retired too.

My wife was denied entry into her interview on Dec 20th 2024 because she had a copy of my divorce papers and not the original. Our lawyer tried to argue that the original was not required. But the embassy sent us a link that clearly showed the rule has been in place since 2022. Her new interview date is now Jan 23, 2025
