  1. Fun Fact: When my wife took the oath in January 2023, there were more than 1,000 others taking the oath in the same ceremony.......More efficient to do them in mass, I guess. January 26th, 2023 in Plano, Texas.
  2. My opinion: Actually, it does for determining current annual income support for an immigrant because it is not CURRENT income. CURRENT income (and income which will be earned over the following year after immigrant arrival) is king. In other words, the income a sponsor/petitioner will have over the following 12 months after an immigrant enters the US is what supports that immigrant in the form of current annual income. That is CURRENT ANNUAL INCOME...not what was earned in previous years. Example: If I earned 100K last year, but I just lost my job.....My CURRENT annual income is now $0 if I am currently unemployed (with no other income coming). On an I-864, there are 2 areas. CURRENT annual income (PART 6 item 7) is separate from the tax info the sponsor must provide in boxes PART 6 items 16.a-16.c. In other words, unless a person is self-employed, past tax reporting is not relevant to CURRENT income. If you want to include saved funds from previous employment, it is not income...it would be liquid assets. An unemployed sponsor should report current annual income as $0.00. Normally, CURRENT ANNUAL INCOME is supported by pay stubs, employment letters for W-2 employees, or profit/loss sheets in the case of self-employed sponsors. Note: CURRENT ANNUAL INCOME can include Social Security, Retirement pensions, and even non-taxable income, etc.
  3. He remains a legal resident until: 1. He surrenders his Green card with an I-407; or 2. An Immigration Judge terminates his residency A divorce (or intent to divorce) or his just leaving the US has no effect on your obligations under an I-864 (while he is a Green Card holder) or on his status as a legal resident. I would hire a good divorce attorney asap, and I would protect myself physically and financially.
  4. To clarify: Your husband's immigration path is in his hands. If he chooses to stay, he can simply file an I-751 with a divorce waiver (if he is currently has a 2 year Green card) However, it is essential, imo, that you obtain a good divorce attorney to protect yourself physically and financially. As stated, an I-864 and your obligation remains in force until the immigrant: 1. Becomes a US citizen: or 2. Leaves the US and loses status as a Green card holder; or 3. Accrues 40 quarters of work credit; or 4. Dies A divorce neither relieves you of the I-864 obligation nor requires the immigrant to leave the US. Good luck.
  5. I would say the I-130 part of the process will take roughly a year.
  6. The way I see it is that he went looking for trouble and found it. What sane person carries a loaded weapon to a high tension-packed environment? In may states, it is illegal to carry a weapon to political protest.
  7. I read that he walked off his job weeks ago, and he had been acting "out of character".....True? I don't know.
  8. You need a good divorce attorney. You have no responsibility to notify USCIS. You are still obligated under the terms of the I-864 you signed. His immigration path is in his hands.
  9. That is correct. In addition, EADs are all adjudicated at MSC (National Benefits Center) and Green Card interviews are done at local offices.
  10. You are very fortunate in that some people have waited 8 or 9 months for the EAD, then another 6 or 8 months for their Green Card interview. You are much better off with the fast AOS interview. Good luck on the rest of your journey.
  11. As long as the immigrant submitted an AR-11 (indicating A-Number) and you submitted an I-865 as sponsor, you are fine, imo.
