1. You should be able to work now but also should apply for a re-entry permit because Sep is more than 6 months. Or take and spend your PTO in the US before the 6 months. 2. When your AP expires you may be able to extend it if you have not received your interview/GC. 3. No, working for an aid organization overseas will not be given special consideration.

Usually the letter is required at the NVC step.

I-134 is rarely enforced, if ever. When the beneficiary applies for AOS, the sponsor will need to submit the I-864, which is binding and is in effect until the beneficiary has 40 working quarters (10 years) or the beneficiary becomes a USC

2 - 4 weeks for the NOA1 is typical. Ours took a little over 2 weeks.

You will need a joint sponsor, or get hired by a company that will employ you in the US, with the offer letter as proof.

Royal Caribbean has US presence, and therefore as a company is subject to abide by the sanctions, no matter the itinerary of a specific ship. A cruise ship wholely owned and operated out of Egypt, with no US ties, would not be subjected to this, for example.

You stated: Those are 2 oddities. Regarding divorce or separation, a real situation will be one or the other and not ask for advice for both. The second item not typical. Normal divorces do not result in the USC informing USCIS about the divorce. This is why there are some questions regarding your situation.

1. Technically the I-129F expires 4 months after USCIS approval. However, since COVID both NVC and Embassy/Consulate have been extending it. But I would advise you to respond to the Packet 3 instructions as soon as possible. If the consulate (Montreal) does not see you complete the DS-160 within a few months they may cancel it and return it to USCIS. 2. There was no NVC welcome letter. It would have been a case sent to the consulate letter. 3. If I recall correctly, Montreal still has a backlog. I assume they recently contacted you (after 4 months) for you to create a CEAC account and fill in the DS-160? If so, do it as soon as possible You do not need the NVC letter - just the case number, which may have been in the Packet 3 email.

The K-1 would be about similar as well. If you see that the I-129F takes about 10 months, then the entire K-1 would be about 13-15 months to the K-1 visa in hand. I-130 is about 10 months for approval, about 18 months total to the CR1 visa in hand.

AOS and IV fees are one time. They do not expire.

Get a lawyer

If the form was current when you received the NOA1, you are fine

NVC cannot be expedited for K-1. By it's nature it is expedited by default. It can be expedited by the Embassy. Once USCIS approves it, wait a couple of weeks for the NVC to receive it (no notification will be sent out for this) and then contact the Embassy to see if they will expedite.

Not necessarily in this case. Ukrainians have a pretty easy path to get humanitarian parole to the US. If Mom really wanted to stay she can go that route and be in the US in 1-3 months. The medical thing could be a more to do with personality. My MIL will not go to the doctor unless my wife physically takes her there, or spend a few days bugging her on the phone every 10 minutes. @CelloLover, check to see what services are available in Warsaw. Poland has been great with their support

Then he is self employed. He can submit his quarterly tax payment receipt if he's done one, and/or submit the terms of the contract and several invoices.

Then ask the employer to send the terms for the contractor position. As a contractor, they would need to submit 1099's, unless they are treating him as an independent entity via a purchase order for his services.

Ok, now I understand your dilemma. I would contact your prospective employer and ask them to change the title. It seems they are making it more complicated than it should be, if they actually wanted to hire a Geophysicist.

Google "K1". Even better, look at the guides at the top of VJ website.

You don't. A job title is required. Your opinion of the relevance of the title is irrelevant. The job description should state the required qualifications, and those requirements may or may not reflect the title. For example, "Sanitation Engineer" doesn't require an engineering degree.

Employing a US person in US soil requires obligations by the company to the IRS and applicable State and local tax agencies. Unless the employee is a contractor. Sanofi, for one, is a French company that needs to abide by all US tax reporting regulations.

Doctors in Ukraine are pretty good, for the most part. And way way way less expensive.

Only USC can petition for parents They cannot self sponsor.

Along with paystubs and/or employment letter with the employer, then yes, as long as he is still employed by that company. And that company will now need to submit a W2 for 2022/2023 (depending on when you moved).

Why the I-130?

What visa?
