  1. I assume this is supplemental income? That is, you do not consider yourself a full time manager working 40 hours per week for your rental property? Technically your status is unemployed or retired. Self employed people would pay quarterly taxes and also pay double SSI and medicare. You can claim $53k as your AGI, as evident on rental income in your transcript or schedule E.
  2. You cannot apply for a B2 visa from within the US. You will have to return to the UK and apply from there. As others have mentioned, there are risks when pursuing the B2 from a VWP country.
  3. AWA is enforced for K1 fiance petitions. I have not heard it being applied to I-130. I assume that is because for a K1, the gov. want to help prevent the marriage to a potential DV abuser. For I-130, the couple are already married.
  4. OP was DQ'd at NVC June 2021. Petitioner died Feb 2021. I would assume the I-130 was approved before the petitioner passed. F3 would mean the case was approved and sat at NVC for several years, typically. @Tina A, when was the I-130 approved and sent to NVC?
  5. Nov 28 is 3 weeks from now. You could probably reschedule to the first or second week of Dec? Transferring would most definitely take longer, and would take some coordination to get both consulates to agree.to a transfer. Do you have exceptional circumstances that warrant an expedite? Having to reschedule is not a valid reason.
  6. Make sure your CR1 visa doesn't expire by then. You should be given 6 months from the medical, but there have been cases when it was less.
  7. No. 5 years ago the fiance visa was quicker. After the pandemic, fiance visas take about the same amount of time.
  8. I-130 and I-130A can be filed online. If you do, you will use the online receipt number for the I-130 on the I-485. I-485 has to be paper and mailed. Same for I-864. It is easier just to do everything on paper and send it in as one package. G-1145 is for text notification. I-131 for advanced parole, I-765 for employment authorization. If she they have their EAD and SSN, i would skip I-765. I would file all the rest.
  9. 1. Yes 2. Order of events: 2.a. Complete the DS-160 2.b. Pay the fee 2.c. Use the payment receipt number to schedule the K-1 interview 2.d. Bring the DS-160 confirmation page to the interview (along with other documents/items)
  10. 1. Use the tax tables. If it is for 2023 taxes to be filed in Jan 2024, you will also be penalized for not submitting quarterly payments in 2023. There are work tables to calculate the penalties, or just submit the normal amount and get a bill later with more interest penalties on top of the quarterly payment penalties. 2. MFJ: Spouse and dependents will need SSN or ITIN. It is better (easier) to file MFS and amend it after you immigrate and everyone has SSN.
  11. From what I have seen/read, the CO will not waive the requirement and instead will give you a 221g (? - I think this is the form number) asking to submit the certificate. Let the CO know what the consulate told you about the timing to give you enough time to respond.
  12. If you have the Diya app (also called the Diia app), you can request gov documents through that. The App name is the cyrillic "D" + "i" + reverse R (Ya): Дія. If you don't have the app already set up, it will be difficult to do so from outside Ukraine. For identity confirmation, you will need to provide a Ukrainian bank account in your name. There are a few websites that offer "services" to get the Police cert for you, but I would not trust them. Things have changed drastically since the war and the information I've seen on those sites are outdated. The best method if you do not have Diya is to go to an Ukrainian consulate in your country. If your country does not have one, try to locate one closest to you that you can travel to. It is odd that you were DQ'd by NVC without the Ukrainian police clearance certificate.
  13. It doesn't hurt to try. I would base the expedite request on emotional support for your first pregnancy.
  14. Trying to expedite the B2 for childcare may backfire. Is there a medical issue why you can't take care of yourself and your child?
  15. Yes. Biometrics completed on Aug 4. Is there a number or email for the CA consulate or the visa processing department that I can contact?
  16. Hello, My nephew is Ukrainian and my wife and I want to take him to Montreal, and possibly Toronto and Niagara Falls (CA side). We helped him apply for a visitor visa in mid July, and he went to his biometrics in the beginning of August. The Visit Canada website stated that it takes about 34 days for processing. It has been 2 months and I'm wondering what is the best method to ask about how much longer it would take. Basically, if there is a phone number or email, or even an office near Boston (we can travel to New York, if needed) for us to call/email/visit.
  17. Per CBP, airlines are permitted to allow you to board on a flight to the US with an expired 10 year permanent resident card: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2021-Dec/Reminder- LPR Boarding 20210305.pdf That said, the general guide by CBP states "permanent resident card" and not "expired 10 year permanent resident card": https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Nov/carrier-information-guide-english.pdf You may be allowed to board or you may not, depending on whether or not the airline is aware of the updated guide on LPRs. I would suggest you try to get an emergency ADIT stamp from your local USCIS office.
  18. He goes through customs along with the rest of the arriving passengers.
  19. When I googled "MRV London DS-160", the first result was: https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/applying-for-the-visa/ Look at Step 4.
  20. You will need to pay the DS-160 fee first and use the payment confirmation to book an appointment. The appointment calendar may be fully booked by the time you get to that stage. If so, once a week to check for openings. I am not sure about London but other consulates update their calendar once a week or so.
  21. I am going to interpret this as: Your petition was approved and sent to the embassy. The embassy closed due to Covid. A year later, you booked an appointment. The embassy cancelled that appointment. You called the embassy, and they re-booked your appointment. At the interview or before the interview, they requested some statements. You supplied the statements, but they were lost, or did not meet the embassy requirements, whatever. The embassy informed you the petition was sent back to USCIS with the case denied. The embassy informed you to re-apply if you still want to pursue the K1. You submitted a new I-129F 18 months ago, and now you received an RFE asking about the previous petition denial and why would the embassy now approve this new case. Is all of the above correct? To answer the RFE, submit the embassy correspondence where they informed you that your previous petition expired and that they advised you to re-apply.
  22. USC petitioner should fill out a new I-864 and send it to you to bring to the interview.
