K1visaHopeful

Joining the VJ monthly AOS filing thread (and also the previous few monthly AOS filing forums) and reading through all of the comments and questions of your peer filers will be helpful to learn the process and basics. Also, your VJ timeline is completely blank. Please fill it out. Your timeline helps VJ produce the stats that you soon will be looking for to estimate the timeline of your cases. A blank timeline helps no one.

If you forgot, there isn't anything you can do. Not a big deal.

I am absolutely certain. How do I know? Because if you call SSA headquarters in MD before you get the "Card being produced" update on your account, SSA will be clueless that you even have an application in. Call after and the SSN will be in production too. And I'm talking minutes difference. It's a waste of time NOT to check the box when the odds are extremely high that the system works as it's supposed to. Now perhaps you are talking about the EAD and GC coming so closely consecutive that SSN doesn't have time to know if they are issuing a restricted card or an unrestricted card???? I've never hear of anyone who filled out their EAD/GC form correctly requesting a replacement card and SSA not being competent. Most fill it out incorrectly or are just impatient to wait the few extra days it takes to come and yell the sky is falling when they are the reason it did.

It isn't perfect, but why would SSA issue a new card when it's the USCIS card production facility issuance of GC production that initiates SSN card production? Still saves you a trip IF IT WORKS 90% of the time instead of not applying for one on I485 AT ALL. That's silly.

Then they should respond accordingly if she did it through her account. That is a NVC CASE number not an Alien Number. K1s receive their Alien number upon Visa Approval. K2s do not receive their Alien number until their first SOLE immigration benefit is approved. A K2 visa approval is a derivative visa so they won't get their own Alien number yet. To ask questions of USCIS for a K2, THEY will use their Receipt number for the application in question. They do not have an Alien number and should not reference anyone else's Alien Number as the K2s immigration process is completely separate from the K1's. Sorry if don't understand any of that. I'd leave it out of future questions as it has nothing to do with your path to AOS and will only confuse.

$260 Yes. No. Yes. No. ABSOLUTELY. Start over. Include everything for each form.

Always apply again for REPLACEMENT CARD on both I765 and I485. The SSN that comes with EAD is restricted while SSN that comes with GC is unrestricted. You'll want to have an unrestricted card so you can use it to work along with your DL instead of having to provide your GC as proof of eligibility to work. (You should never WANT to show your GC. DL + Unrestricted SSN is best.) Also you said "getting" his card? How do you know? Has it shown up in your informed delivery? Applying doesn't mean approval. It's VERY common for K1 SSN within 90 day applicants to get denied because of not following procedure to apply. Also Also, if you do not apply on your I485, you'll have to go in anyways to get an unrestricted card. Save yourself some gas.

How old is the K2? If they signed their own forms they are the petitioner/applicant of their case and are the only one's eligible to ask about their case via phone or preferably e-request or Ask Emma. PS. A K2 will never have their own A number until they have their first immigration benefit approved such as EAD, AP or GC. PSS. If you are a K1 and your daughter is a K2, how could your husband be an immigrant? (ie. You keep speaking of your husband's immigration case). Only USCs can petition for K visas. A GC holder cannot.

Coincidence. Yes. Depends on your particular adjudicator and how they handle it. There would be no accurate answer to your question as each adjudicator can do what they like and send an RFE based on any errors in their guidelines. My advice? Log it in your "there is nothing I can do about it now so oh well" file and "hope for the best but anticipate the worst" where "an RFE is not even close to the end of the world".

Not weird at all. Processing times update extremely frequently. You may be outside of NPT and eligble to file an enquiry but then they adjust them because they obviously can't keep up and then you're not and not eligble. FLA is the worst (other than TX, CA and NY) to be in for immigration processing times. PS you don't have to be TOLD anything. The website is self service. You fill in your info and it shows you whether you are eilgble to file an online enquiry directly from that site. Filing an enquiry is not done by phone.

1. A K1 who completed their medical and vaccinations overseas does not need an I693 or a new medical. It's your responsibility to ensure your DS3025 is MARKED complete and IS COMPLETE. Ensure you've examined it for completion. 2. You received a "message" from WHO? What kind of "message"? An RFE from USCIS? A spam email from a spammer? A message from the civil surgeon that redid the medical for no reason so now they are playing on your gulliblilty to get you for more money for a revacccination? Or a simple reminder that the Covid vaccine doesn't last forever, and if you desire to be protected, you'll can get another one? 3. Please fill out your extremely BLANK VJ timeline. It says you married your K1 in 2011. Your stats will help no one.

Topic moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student and Tourist Visas as you are not a K1. I'd recommend next time when posting insert your filing type in the title of your post to get help from those in your category as it is a non common filing type.

Yes of course. But you won't be able to leave. So if your best friend dies abroad, you can't go to the funeral. Also, if aliens attack only the US. Or a earthquake sinks the entire US of A. Same deal.

Both. You'll need a current I864 at time of filing I485 and an updated one for your in-person interview if one is requested.

Noa1 is taking up to 10 weeks currently. If you join your VJ monthly AOS filing forum you will see current issues, advice, common questions. You MAY submit an (currently useless) email enquiry to the Lockbox if you have not received Noa1 within 30 days of it RECEIVED not sent. Instructions are on the USCIS Contact Us page under Lockbox however again that would useless. Join thr forum!

Noa1 can take up to 30 days from when the shipment was received not sent before eligble to place an online email enquiry to the Lockbox. You can find more details by reading through the USCIS Contacf US webpage. Currently Noa1 is taking up to 10 weeks. Joining your VJ monthly AOS filing thread will provide you with basic answers to common questions and you'll be in a group of your peers who have currently filed.

I864 RFEs are generic. You could have one issue or many. The RFE will not tell you directly but if they have included many details, you likely have many mistakes. Household Size is definitely an error but likely not the only. W2s are not needed IF a return TRANSCRIPT is included. You submitted a TRANSCRIPT, correct? 1. a GOOD read through the instructions will be helpful. 2. Reading through the many many threads about I864 RFEs on VJ will also be helpful to you. Only you will know what's wrong with your form as we cannot physically read it nor SEE the supporting financial documents you include nor KNOW what financial documents are required for YOUR extremely individual situation.

You stated in your post/ comments that you are NOT outside of processing times at YOUR LFO. That information is PARAMOUNT and the only thing that matters. If you KNOW that information because you know how to easily look it up like anyone can that's all you need. You cannot compare her case to anyone else EVEN at the same LFO. Why? Because you moved. You moved from one LFO to another LFO with LONGER processing times. Moving was your mistake. And while USCIS will never admit it, you likely got a BIT lost during the paperwork shuffle (and I'm not exaggerating a bit because FL LFOs are usually long to process). What you can do and what it sounds like you have been doing by your responses: Use the website like everyone else to monitor to monitor processing times. Once outside of normal processing times, use same website to place an outside of normal processing times enquiry. It will give you a time period for their response. Wait it out. Place a second one. Wait IT out. THEN if no response you are eligble to contact your government rep for assistance. All of this talk of lawyers makes no sense because you've clearly stated you know you aren't outside of normal processing times for your LFO because you've looked. Ppl are missing that and are responding to that only. WoM helps only when you are outside of normal processing times and never forget that it only forces them to open your file. And if they see that you've simply not waited the allocated time that they post publicly they can respond with a simple denial and you'll have to file AOS all over again

Same forms. Select renewal options. Can reenter UaS up until expiry on AP. And you've both filled out a change of address AR11 within 10 days as legally obligated to every time you've moved and confirmed the change by waiting 30 days afterwards and contacted Ask Emma to make sure they changed your address? Explain what you'd be expecting from a lawyer? If you aren't outside of normal processing times for your LFO, a lawyer can do nothing. Pardon? If she has EAD, she can work. You said earlier she does. All she needs to do is renew. Can continue to work while renewal processes. One can also study. A GC is not needed for that.

Yes. Reading the household section of the instructions will be helpful to you for understanding also. It explains who to include and why to include them. No. Not likely. Most recent year is paramount while three most recent is mostly used to ensure taxes have been filed for three most recent years and are similar in income. Third most recent is less relevant however your adjudicator can use the totality of any financial situation and can ask for anything they want to. Unlikely. Most likely. If you want however amounts will need to be listed for the last year with lowest balance used. SSN will come in the name that you apply for the AOS form in. If you want your GC and EAD to come in your new married name, you apply for those forms in that name. SSN follows in same name. That's why you apply NOW like the others have said in your maiden Name. Ensure you've both checked out the VJ guides about common topics and joined your Monthly AOS Filing forum to get basic support from concurrent filers.

If filing within 90 days: "K Visa Holder". If filing after 90 days: "K1 Visa Holder-Out of Status".

You're welcome, Sir. Join your monthly AOS Filing Forum for basics and please fill out your timeline so they report to VJ statistics to help everyone estimate their timelines even if it belongs to your K1.

Regardless of age, a K2 will apply for the above forms separately. You are not part of the K1s biometrics appointment. You'll receive your own Noa1s and Biometrics appointment notice separately. By chance it may be at the same time/date but that's irrelevant. Your notices are your notices. Notices are currently taking 8 to 10 weeks. Anything sooner is luck.

Are you referring to the I485 and I765 and I131 receipt notices that you will file for yourself as all K1s and K2s need to file their own appropriate forms to AOS/Work/Parole accordingly/they are no longer "derivatives"? If you've filed those for yourself, you'll receive your own Biometrics appointment notice. Please fill out your VJ timeline in reciprocity.

Joining the monthly AOS Filing thread for your filing month will be extremely helpful to you. There you will see common and CURRENT questions and advice from your peers who have filed concurrently with you.
