Almost ready to submit petition
SteveInBostonI130 replied to Vicki1990's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Marry online and submit the I-130 online. No physical mailing required. -
USCIS site has all the information, including links for vaccine requirements, TB testing, income requirements, instructions for the petitioner, information for the beneficiaries, etc. DR, Chile and Jamaica are not on the Humanitarian Parole list. If you read the USCIS site, you would know this. Either this is a a prank post or a scam. I'm out.

K1 visa help
SteveInBostonI130 replied to Kingsriz's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Please read the guidelines here for K1, and follow your K1 progress tracking group in the forums. There is no NVC welcome letter for K1, and there are no NVC steps. NVC just creates the case number and sends the I-129F to the embassy. -
Adjusting from U4U (merged)
SteveInBostonI130 replied to ROC-AL's topic in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus
1. Your wife files I-130 online for your MIL For the relevant question, Part 5, 61.a and 61.b, enter the city/town and state where your MIL lives in the US (I assume she lives with you). For Part 5, 62.a,b,c, leave blank - your MIL WILL NOT seek consular process for IR5. She will get a receipt number 2. You wife will get a receipt number for the I-130. 3. Use the I-130 receipt number to help your MIL file I-485, I-131, I-765 and I-864 (filled by your wife, and perhaps I-864a filled by you). Mail it in to the appropriate address with the $1225 fee. See if your MIL needs to also file I-693 for her medical. 4. Wait for biometrics. Go to biometrics. 5. Wait some more. 6. Wait even more. 7. AOS interview.- 12 replies

what processing center does vegas go through
SteveInBostonI130 replied to davidandailene's topic in USCIS Service Centers
For I-130, any. There is no dedicated center per region. You mail it to the TX lockbox or complete it online and they will send it to whichever center is on rotation. -
You are jumbling the various steps into one. For clarity: I-129F for your fiance. One form, one fee. List fiance's children in that form. After I-129F approval and sent to embassy (about 14-24 months from now): DS-160 plus medical for each person, K1 and K2 categories for the DS-160 fees After fiance and kids arrive in the US: Marriage and related costs, within 90 days of arrival. After marriage: I-485 set of forms (I-131, I-765, I-864, etc) and fees for each. OR: Marry and file I-130 and fees for each. Less expensive overall.

Passport expiry date
SteveInBostonI130 replied to Hadeer's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Up to you. The CR1 visa acts as a temporary I-551 for 1 year upon endorsement. Let's say you enter the 2 months from now - June. Your passport is your temporary greencard valid until June 2024. That passport expires Oct 2024. You are good When the beneficiary receives the plastic greencard in the mail, the temporary I-551 in the passport becomes redundant. Let's say it takes 2 months to get the GC - Aug 2023. That gives you 14 months to renew your passport. -
It is based if the applicant lived in certain MENA countries.

This seems to be a recent issue. I have seen this come up within the last year, but not before that. I wonder if USCIS is getting more stringent with how the form is filled, or if there is something with the online forms that forces USCIS to assume AOS if both sections are filled or both sections are left blank. Regardless, for the OP, the only option seems to be to file the I-824.

Algeria US Embassy
SteveInBostonI130 replied to samiahcene's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
K1 is different. For CR1 the interview is scheduled by the NVC For K1, the applicant has to self schedule. Good luck and let us know how long it takes.
