    Did you join the I-129F tracking group? The one for May 2022 filers? That group, and the subsequent I-129F to NVC has a ton of useful information, including next steps.

    The email is the one @Crazy Cat posted.

    Many couch surf for jobs and wonder why employers aren't calling them or emailing them. My wife was one of them. She sees herself as less than she is: her overseas education is not adequate, her english skills are low, etc. When she took the plunge and went to physically apply, she was hired right away. She started in Kohls and other entry jobs and she quickly overcame her doubts and succeeded in whatever role she pursued. Now she wants to do tax accounting after a season as a tax preparer. New England is not lacking in jobs if you come here and look, especially if you knock on doors. Don't sit in front of a screen and click "apply" and think people will flood your inbox and voicemail with dream offers.

    I have heard USCIS is starting to implement Last In First Out. I was doubting it but this is the second approx 90 approval I have seen this week.

    Due process is not guaranteed for non-USC's. It's not guaranteed even for USC's who are not on US soil.

    NVC. Embassy just sends a batch of available dates to the NVC. Embassy will not be aware of any specific case until the interview is scheduled by the NVC and the case is sent to the embassy.

    It may have something to do with your web browser. Try opening the site in incognito or privacy mode.

    1. Your parents already filled out an submitted their DS-160. No point in worrying about your status affecting their application at this point. 2. If you do file your I-485 next week or so, then by the time of their interview you are in authorized stay. 3. Their visa chances is dependent on strong ties to Argentina. From what I have read, it is not a difficult embassy/consulate.

    Typical DQ to IL is 1-2 months. At week 9 I would send an inquiry to NVC.

    Physician's letter and reasoning was denied. Why would another letter with the same condition make any difference? If I was at Abu Dhabi, I would flag your case as being suspicious/desperate and take more time to investigate when the interview is scheduled. Also, life threatening can mean the petitioner may not be able to sponsor the immigrant.

    This is promoting misrepresentation by omission.

    For the past 3 years or so, there is no advantage of a K1 over a CR1. K1: all cons CR1: all pros The only reason any sane person would do K1 is if that is the only choice: country is locked down, there is no chance to meet again in the next year, etc.

    First, are your children USC? Did you apply CRBA for them? Second, it starts fresh again with the I-130. You have time to sort out finances and line up sponsors because the I-864 will not be required until after the I-130 is approved. You cannot DCF based on what you stated.

    Odd response. Why would anyone be jealous?
  15. SteveInBostonI130
    They cannot be on one I-130. Each parent needs their own I-130.
  16. SteveInBostonI130
    There is a list at the NVC website when you complete the DS-260. Also, does Philippines require court order or the other parent's consent? Edit: deleted

    I-130 petition. Terminology is important. Next step is NVC, which will take several months. Afterwards, the interview in Tunisia, which may or may not lead to administrative processing. 1 month to several months to over a year. Once the visa is issued then you have a CR1. Enjoy the first round victory, it is time for some celebration. 2 more rounds to go.

    The only option I see is for the sister to immigrate and then petition her daughter (your niece) as F2A or F2B, depending on the niece's age. The niece can add her child (grand-niece) as a derivative.

    I-130 fee: $535 NVC AOS fee: $120 NVC IV fee: $325 Medical fee for interview: $100-$300 Immigrant fee for greencard production: $220 None are waivable. There are some exceptions, such as domestic abuse for the Immigrant fee, but they do not apply to your situation. Also, you will need to show you can sponsor your family in the US - form I-864. That will require minimum $37,500 annual income for 2023. Your annual income, or combined with your wife's as long as the income will continue when you move to the US (US company or Int company that will keep you and/or your wife employed). If you do not qualify per the above, you will need a joint sponsor.

    Does H-1B require conditions removal?
  21. SteveInBostonI130
    Why not complete the consular I-130 process? For UK, it will only take a few more months to get the interview. It depends on how quickly you complete the NVC steps.

    The SSN field on the 1040 needs to be blank for your wife: Option: 1. Hand fill a new 1040, or find a fillable PDF version. Copy the data from Turbotax and leave out the SSN for your wife. Sign it, send it to your wife to sign, have her send it back, and mail it with the W7 to IRS. 2. File as Married Filing Separately. Amend the tax return when your wife arrives in the US and gets her SSN.

    https://www.uscis.gov/i-9 For E-Verify, the employer has to be enrolled first: https://www.e-verify.gov/ https://www.e-verify.gov/about-e-verify/e-verify-data/how-to-find-participating-employers I would assume e-verify would make it simpler. You should be in the system as authorized to work and that you are still an LPR while your ROC is pending.
  24. SteveInBostonI130
    Do you have an unrestricted SSN card? If so, that plus your state DL is all that is required for the I-9. Employers may not specify which form of ID and work authorization you submit.

    The CO will look at the totality of your current and previous income. The 125% is the bare minimum to be considered - the CO may require more. In your case, I do not see an issue. It always helps to have a joint sponsor lined up just in case. Don't submit one (joint sponsor), but if they demand one at the interview then your spouse can submit it right away.
