    USCIS Immigration Processing Times - VisaJourney Per VJ members, the average time from NOA1 to interview is: K-1: 575 days + another year or 2 until a Green Card is issued. CR-1/IR-1: 572 days + 0 days since the spousal visa holder IMMEDIATELY becomes a legal resident upon arriving in the US.

    It is just a reminder from USCIS, correct?
  3. Crazy Cat
    100% inaccurate if you were married for 2 years or longer on the day the Adjustment of Status was approved. Ignore the reminder email from USCIS.
  4. Crazy Cat
    I think it is OK to use for that.

    We received the receipt and bio reuse notices the same day. We also got a "we have taken action..."....but nothing I could see. Be aware that you might get the "We are actively reviewing your case.." notice, too.
  6. Crazy Cat
    Of course, you can apply for a B2 visa.
  7. Crazy Cat
    No. However, getting a B2 now is almost guaranteed to fail. You have a very high obstacle to overcome since you have immigrant intent. Consulate Officers know some people just want to get inside the US in order to avoid the K-1 processing time.

    Where did you hear this?

    Have you filed an N-400? We filed an I-751 about a month before you did. Our case was also at MSC. My wife filed her N-400 in August 2022. 4 months later, we attended a combo interview. My wife became a citizen last Thursday. My advice: File the N-400 online.

    I don't see an issue. Legal tax strategy is not an immigration issue.
  11. Crazy Cat
    We also uploaded 5 years of tax transcripts there, too..

    You cannot legally file as single if you were married as of 12/31/2022. Your spouse's location is irrelevant. You can file as follows: As a married taxpayer, choose one: 1. "Married- Filing Jointly" if your spouse has a SSN or ITIN (or you can apply for one). 2. "Head Of Household" if you qualify. 3. "Married- Filing Separately." If your tax preparer says you can file as "single" since your spouse is not yet in the US, he/she is wrong.

    You MUST include the most recent tax documents AND you MUST include proof of CURRENT annual income such as pay stubs, employment letter, etc. .
  14. Crazy Cat
    Past years income is not important. CURRENT income is king. Sounds like you have that covered.
  15. Crazy Cat
    Is this income going to continue after you both are inside the US?
  16. Crazy Cat
    Exactly. Those were some of the things I sent as evidence with the I-751, itself.
  17. Crazy Cat
    File for Naturalization online, then leave USCIS in the dust in a few months.
  18. Crazy Cat
    Covid didn't alter the number of visas available. The long wait is due to number of people applying vs number of visas allowed per year for that category. Petition approvals are fast. Visa number availability is very, very slow.

    MOH = Member of Household
  20. Crazy Cat
    Should have if they detected it then. If unsigned, it won't make it through the entire process, imo.
  21. Crazy Cat
    Of course, you can contact them and ask. I would.
  22. Crazy Cat
    If you failed to sign the I-129f or the letter of intent to marry, it will likely be rejected.
  23. Crazy Cat
    The USC can file separately now, then amend the tax return to jointly later after the new immigrant receives a SSN.
  24. Crazy Cat
    I don't think you have a choice since the consulate gave you specific instructions.
  25. Crazy Cat
    We had a combo interview. The IO wanted to evidence of bona fide marriage from date of filing the I-751 to interview date. Driver's licenses, bank statements, leases, credit cards, car insurance, etc.
