  1. In addition, as the primary sponsor, you must file taxes (if income is above filing threshold) for the last 3 years.
  2. They already use contractors for some processing. Fees have been too low for years (they report), but that is going to change soon.
  3. Most I-130/spousal visa filers do not live with his/her spouse outside the US. "Family Reunification" is a generic term. You could call your situation a "Family Relocation" visa. Same visa, same process, same result. Good luck.
  4. Family reunification visa = spousal visa. Your family will be unified inside the US when you re-locate there.
  5. As the primary sponsor, the obligations are exactly the same for you and the joint sponsor.
  6. Yep. I hear it's expensive...so I'll just keep buying from non-politically involved companies when I can.
  7. Great. Remember, N-400 can be filed when spouse becomes eligible......even if the I-751 has not been processed.
  8. The incorrect date reflects ONLY the date the card expires. It does not reflect expiration of legal status.
  9. I am sure it doesn't cause any issues. Legal Status doesn't expire when the card does. That date is the expiration date of the card. There are no issues for N-400 filing. Yes. The card is evidence of legal resident status.
  10. That is what I am doing. I have switched to the Champagne of Beers. I hear there is an alternative called Ultra Right which is gaining popularity.
  11. Your ties to China are irrelevant. His application will be considered based on his I-160.
  12. There are NO benefits in waiting to file the I-485...none. When you delay filing, you endanger yourself, delay working, delay being able to leave the US, delay applying for citizenship. Just as others have said, ANY non-immigrant is out of status and subject to removal after the expiration of their I-94. I would do whatever it takes to get a PROPER I-485 filed prior to I-94 expiration. A truly successful immigration process requires a lot of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and money.
  13. That is irrelevant. You need to talk to a COMPETENT tax preparer. Your spouse needs either a SSN or an ITIN to file a joint return. It matters not whether she is in the US or not.
  14. Nothing wrong with that. Not long ago, DOS was encouraging applicants to check other consulates for shorter waiting times. I saw that you asked about 2 different consulates.
  15. I don't see an issue. In fact, showing that you are at the last phase of the legal immigration process would be beneficial. There is no travel prohibition during the process. Good luck.
  16. I would NOT pre-pay anything. He should be prepared to show strong ties to China, although the CO won't be obligated to look at his other documentation. I'm sure you know that all potential visitors are already assumed to have immigrant intent. Having a US GF does not help. . Good luck.
  17. Wife's N-400 was in that status for 3 months before interview was scheduled.
