The hardship waiver seems harder. Some I-130 / I-485 cases have been filed when you could have filed last year and are now approved. OP did try a divorce waiver and was denied. OP is married to spouse B today. OP divorced spouse A after getting a green card through spa use A. USCIS concluded OP was in a relationship with spouse B before OP married spouse A. Hence I-751 was denied. The divorce waiver option appears to be dead.

In that case have you considered the filing a new I-130 as per the suggestion in ?

I’ve been reading your other posted topic. Did you enter the USA as a K-1?

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/drone-attacks-russia-underline-vulnerability-97529345 “ Drone attacks on Russia underline its vulnerability A spate of drone attacks that Russian authorities blamed on Ukraine has targeted areas in southern and western Russia, reflecting the Ukrainian military’s growing reach as the war dragged into a second year” … ”On Tuesday, Russian authorities also briefly closed the airspace over St. Petersburg, the country's second-largest city. Some reports alleged that an unidentified drone was spotted in the area, while the Defense Ministry said the skies around the city were closed as part of air defense drills.” Other news outlets are reporting St Pete was attacked. Will be interesting when Russian aligned Ukrainian separatists send drones to Berlin.

The complexity here is that the joint sponsors seem to own fully incorporated businesses that pay themselves compensation reported on W-2s. So there won’t be a schedule C. And if these corporations are one person operations does that mean the corporate tax returns plus the roster of share holders and company officers have to be part of the I-864 documentation. My biggest fear is that in 2023 these joint sponsors have opted to go back to traditional self employed status. If so I think OP will have a difficult time getting to DQ and visa approval. I am going to guess that the joint sponsors are partners in the same incorporated entity which makes my head explode. I-864A? IMO, the I-864 experience works best when the sponsor is on salary (not hourly) as a W-2 employee.

Yes. And so how many days after the 7 week service level agreement are expedited passports arriving? I went to your Fb link and most of the comments on the post ( https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=577983837698004&set=a.227341039428954&type=3&mibextid=l066kq ) advising citizens to renew passports now for summer travel were complaints or questions about immigration visas, renouncing citizenship, or complaints that the passport was months late after requesting normal processing. Yes we’ve seen the circus before (when WHTI was forced on people, in 2021 after Covid was canceled for 10 minutes) and now after USCIS decided to processing nothing else but naturalizations. “very late” is emotionally charged but doesn’t convey practical information. I can believe that the 7 week processing we paid for will be 70 weeks which would totally suck and will result in us escalating through the various channels. I will report our progress on the monster thread. I’m thinking the time might be now have monthly threads for first passports / first adult passports.

I have my own timeline bug (my timeline is no longer visible or modifiable). It seems to impact others. It’s a pity the timeline issues aren’t getting addressed since that is one of key values of VJ.

How many days is “very late”?

Yes. Did you also apply for a U.S. passport card for your child?

But don’t get married until the SSN has been applied for. Apply for an SSN two working days after point of entry and when the I-94 is available.

The current situation — USCIS processing naturalizations at high rates never seen seen this century — does put new citizens in a vulnerable state: no evidence of authorized presence for months due to the higher demand on the passport agency. The department of state again is the bottleneck.

While the candidate with won the most votes is moderate, most of the votes went to progressives. More of the same coming to Chicago.

Do you have all the police certificates from where the beneficiary lived 6 months or more? Was the photo previously accepted?

So why don’t they have recent pay stubs and an employment verification letter?

You said they have W-2 jobs.

Looks like recent pay stubs and employment verification letters are missing for the 2nd and 3rd sponsors.

This is a result of a provision in U.S. law which can affect the way your benefit is figured if you also receive a pension based on work that was not covered by U.S. Social Security. Receipt of a Canadian Old-Age Security pension, which is based on residence in Canada, will not affect the way your benefit is figured.

The interview is before 2022 tax returns are due to be filed. So it is not required for the interview

Yes. Provided you don't rush your tax return to make an I-864 deadline, and make errors, that is fine. s/adjust/amend/ Adjust means something else in immigration terminology. Yes. When you are explaining you are losing Yes. MFS usually requires a mailed in tax return though experiences vary. Some TaxACT filers have e-filed MFS. One hypothesis is that this is state dependent. But even with a mailed in tax return, it is the least of all evils.

Then 2022 has become your most recent tax return and that's what you use for I-864. That's ok. A submitted tax return with all forms, schedules, W-2s, and 1099s is a completed tax return

If you file I-864 before the April 2023 tax filing deadline, no problem.

It won’t be a problem for the K-1. In the event the K-1 thing doesn’t work out and he attains citizenship in a visa waiver country, ESTA is gone forever. Note that Ibero Americans have a fast path to residency and thus citizenship of Spain.

1. Before or after he enters the USA on a K-1 visa? 2. If before, coming from Cuba to USA?

possibly Usually what happens is the couple files I-485 again, immediately. Some wait until their income improves. I don’t recommend this because then the K-1 is in a period of unauthorized presence. yes. Immigration is expensive. And the K-1 is the most expensive way to immigrate. A K-1 visa seems to mostly attract younger, lower income couples who are impoverished. It’s not a good choice for these couples. A CR-1 allows the immigrant spouse to work from day 1. With the USA experiencing double digit inflation, 125 percent of poverty level might surpass $30,000 by the time you file I-485. In several states that’s just minimum wage. I can’t imagine how one person can live on that. Two people defies all logic and reason. You appear to require a joint sponsor.
