prior to interview she has to take the medical in Casablanca and no, you don't have to stay there, you can fly in , do the medical and fly out and return for the interview as i stated above its just a matter of airfare and being able to schedule all as needed (weather dependent) make sure you have all the original NVC documents as Casa wants originals and if you have lived in the other country for over 6 months, criminal report from there i know u didn't ask for all this so sorry but i see too many go thru unneeded long AP as they don't know ahead of time no need to be rude here , by using caps to show anger. ok?

I am sure u already know this but here goes the I 551 stamp on visa allows work while waiting for the actual green card make appointment with SS office and apply for the SS number as soon as possible you can print out the SS application form online to take to appointment (SS-5) spouse here in US should add the person to company health insurance and if possible with the immigrants new job, he/she should also take out the company plan as no insurance pays all expenses that being said prescription insurance is a plus as any medicines needed may be expensive insurances like dental and eye may be needed but you will know that and company health care benefits may cover some of all this so a trip or 2 to HR for explanations of benefits is always a plus

OP if this is for the tourist visa you wanted for the world cup trip, then no If its for the spouse visa , you will need to wait till scheduled and then schedule the medical with 1 of the drs listed on Casa's portal prior to the intervew so, she needs to be in Casa for that medical and then for the interview . whether she stays during the medical and interview is up to u allah yessir

ds 160 number? never heard any embassy using that for K1 NVC assigns embassy number like for Casablanca it's CSB followed by the year and then 6 more numbers the embassy code number is what u use to schedule K1 interview according to your embassy /country please fill out a timeline

OP former post says you would apply for ESTA Did you? ESTA shows travel history and the I 94 for entry to US and if you listed visited fiancee on the appliction , it should say that (as your point US point of contact you should also have a history of airfare

medicals expire 6 months from date they are done so yours should expire in July

and how is the OP going to show strong ties to Italy if they have been living all these years in Jordan ? OP you need to establish strong ties to either country https://www.hio.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/HIOFiles/10 Points to Remember When Applying for a Student Visa _ NAFSA.pdf Harvard says Under U.S. law, people who apply for nonimmigrant visas, such as F-1 or J-1 student visas, are viewed as "intending immigrants" (who want to live permanently in the U.S.) until they can convince the consular officer that they are not. You must, therefore, be able to show that you have reasons for returning to your "residence abroad" (usually in your home country) that are stronger than reasons for remaining in the United States and that you intend to depart the United States at the conclusion of your studies. "Ties" to your home country are the things that connect you to your hometown, homeland, or current place of residence: job, family, owning a house or apartment, financial prospects that you own or will inherit, investments, etc. If you are a prospective student, the interviewing officer may ask about your specific plans or promise of future employment, family or other relationships, educational objectives, grades, long-range plans and career prospects in your home country

At this point if u have already done DFC or are in the NVC phase, 2024 tax returns are needed 2025 are not needed until after 15th of April / right now only draft forms are available and IRS says not to use them or follow the instructions https://www.irs.gov/draft-tax-forms usually we have the formal forms by end of January (same as when employers have to send W2's) u need to file both of those and u can use foreign income exclusion by filing form 2555 with those taxes The maximum foreign earned income exclusion amounts are $130,000 for tax year 2025 and $126,500 for tax year 2024 your income on the AOS is 0 as u had no US income and a joint sponsor is needed the letter from iRS is form 4506-T from IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/transcript-types-for-individuals-and-ways-to-order-them some countries have recprocal tax treaties saying the following Under these same treaties, residents or citizens of the United States are taxed at a reduced rate, or are exempt from foreign taxes, on certain items of income they receive from sources within foreign countries. Most income tax treaties contain what is known as a "saving clause" which prevents a citizen or resident of the United States from using the provisions of a tax treaty in order to avoid taxation of U.S. source income. but you have not stated the country u live in so impossible for us to help there use the following tax treaty site https://www.irs.gov/businesses/international-businesses/united-states-income-tax-treaties-a-to-z and please fill out a timeline on your portal

it is affected those who came from those countries as administration announced they will investigate all / even after they are here in US

Never compare your case with another even if using same embassy your case is in the slow lane probable as u petitioned just before all the 2024 holidays BTW make sure your 2025 tax returns are done ASAP as your interview will obviously be later than 15th of April make sure your spouse is listed on those and 2024 since u were married not only for the bigger deduction but to have that as proof of bona fide marriage not known easily but at NVC stage spouse will need 2 reports for the criminal reports Casier Judiciaire from local police, and Extrait de la Fiche Anthropometrique

then it isnn't yet posted as it was the holiday times keep checking and you will see it

are you from one of the African countries that are under full ban Now? this would complicate the case and a divorce attorney may not as well informed on immigration issues and may not want to deal with this?

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-g-chapter-2 The applicant must establish validity of his or her marriage. In general, the legal validity of a marriage is determined by the law of the place where the marriage was celebrated (“place-of-celebration rule”). Under this rule, a marriage is valid for immigration purposes in cases where the marriage is valid under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is performed. without knowing your country of marriage and the state u live in now, its hard to answer questions but lawyers will assist u in a divorce unless why view the case as complicated (and they don't want t touch it) complications: wife filed complaint thru the police there are children of the marriage there is combined propertys to be settled

since the embassy in Jordan did not think u have the needed ties to ensure u would return after the J1 u would need strong ties to Italy in your interview there to show u would return to Italy

https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx the above is the site to check u use immigrant / immigration uses immigrant on this site u will put in her embassy # / ds 160 is not needed here best to you both
