  1. He could fly out of Dublin which has CBP preclearance process, so that if he is denied he is still close to home and not already made the flight. Even denial of entry isn’t going to adversely affect or slow down the IV process. Is he traveling on an already issued ESTA that is current or needing to apply for a new one ?
  2. Everything needs to be redone cost is no different
  3. Dont doubt this at at all!! My comment was somewhat tongue in cheek as Florida is about to be slammed by the second hurricane in 3 weeks. This one is a category 4-5. Lots of destruction from the first one still not yet cleared. It’s not a good place to be right now
  4. Not sure Florida is all that good .. at least not at hurricane season !!! 😵‍💫
  5. Usually, If he is listed on the birth certificate as Father, he can apply to get a copy himself. If he is not listed on the birth certificate then he has no right to the certificate But your country of citizenship will have specific rules regarding this so more info is needed please
  6. Depends on the basis for applying to Adjust Status. Follow through this link to determine your filing address https://www.uscis.gov/forms/all-forms/direct-filing-addresses-for-form-i-485-application-to-register-permanent-residence-or-adjust-status
  7. It states .. do not count anyone twice. Because you are sponsoring your spouse, you place “1” in box 1 Because you have already counted your spouse in “box 1” you do not must “1 “ in box 3 That would be counting him twice in the section “others” You fill in and that apply to you and are members of your household as per the instructions and leave the other sections blank yourself 1
  8. Using index cards, I wrote the question as stated in the official USCIS site .. The wording on the official site is exactly what the IO will say in asking you.. and then i wrote the answer as stated on the same site. If there are multiple answers I chose the simplest. Then i practiced saying the question and then the answer. When you learn it this way, you will find yourself hearing the question and automatically saying the answer.
  9. Or for tall, gregarious, young for their age VIPs with extraordinary connections either? 🤪
  10. Only the details in the letter will give us the information needed to assist you.
  11. Your next action will depend on the reason for the denial.. we can speculate but that is all it is until you understand the basis for the denial How did you find out ?
  12. Standard letter when income is close to the minimum. Best to get a joint sponsor lined up , all the paperwork completed , uploaded and a copy in the hands of the beneficiary .. the interviewing officer has the decision. If you choose not to get a joint sponsor lined up, and the IO determine one is needed, the visa decision will be held until this documentation has been obtained, sent to the Consulate, and the IO reviews it.
  13. You need to contact v the Consulate where your visa interview took place.
  14. The I 130 is to confirm your relationship to the beneficiary. If he doesn’t have a passport yet that is not a problem. File the I 130. Get the passport. It will be needed at the NVC stage which is probably 12+ months away
  15. You file the I864 with him as a household member. He completes the I 864a. Your income will be your share of the joint income .. as you stated $0. His will be his income ..follow the instructions for how to determine income for self employed and what documents to file. Self employed is not as easy as payroll but not uncommon. Is there someone who would be willing to be joint sponsor ? Remember, each parent needs their own I 130 and all AOS forms including affidavit of support
  16. Look for solid evidence of cohabitating and mingling of finances Lease with both names utility bills in joint names where possible. bank accounts - joint make your wills with each other as executer and beneficiary Drivers licences with same address
  17. It will help if you give us the exact wording request of the RFE please You can post a pic of it with the personal details redacted if that’s easiest
  18. Not sure what place you read the info you mention .. possibly it is referring to using the medical for Adjustment if Status from a K1 visa .. anyway the following applies to your visa type.. From the NVC website https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/step-12-after-the-interview.html When should I travel? You must arrive in and apply for admission to the United States no later than the visa expiration date printed on your visa. An immigrant visa is usually valid for up to six months from the date of issuance unless your medical examination expires sooner, which may make your visa valid for less than six months.
  19. Its not so much showing that UK was temporary.. Its about demonstrating that living in the US is now going to be permanent. Your ongoing ties are helpful but you are likely to do better if you 1. Have a job lined up if possible 2. have a place of residence lined up and documents to show this .. apartment lease or even a documented arrangement with family if you are staying there initially 3. evidence of leaving uk jobs, property on the market etc 4. enrolment documents for school aged children Worst case is you get given the I 221g paper and told to send in documents when you have them that show the petitioner having relocated to the US and reestablished residency ready for the immigrants to reunite .. job, place of residence , insurance etc
  20. Pretty much always is, don't you think !!
  21. Scratch those advice givers off your trusted list. No matter who they are. There is a lot of solid information on the official USCIS websites. It can take quite some time to get the full information clear in your head .. so do lots of research there and come back here to ask any further questions .. US health care is very different to UK… So please make sure your SO does v good research and has s plan for providing you with good health care insurance once you are here.
  22. Consolidate all your uk accounts into a single bank account. Close them as you go. We then used OFX to transfer into a US account … For over a reasonably small limit .. for us it was $1000 AUD.. there was no transfer fee or charge, and their exchange rate was 1-2 % higher than any other options Takes 3 days to be released into your account but as a “money market newbie” I found their customer service agents very helpful and they walked me through each step as needed .
  23. You can enter up to the expiry date so , no , you wont have problems using it to reenter prior to that date But if you are delayed past the expiry date.. and do not have the original extension letter to show with the expired GC, then you will have difficulty boarding.
  24. You can enter until the date it expires so, no. But you may not have the ROC extension letter before you leave the US, so the challenge is if you are delayed returning and trying to board the return flight without the original extension letter. You can download and print off a copy from your uscis account, but often the check in staff want to see the original If you are able to plan a way in which the original is securely sent to you when it comes, then you’ve got the backup plan covered
