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)

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.

How long was she here on ESTA before you got married and submitted the I-485?

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.

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 Things have changed drastically since the war and the information I've seen on those sites are outdated.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.

It doesn't hurt to try. I would base the expedite request on emotional support for your first pregnancy.

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?

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?

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.

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.

He goes through customs along with the rest of the arriving passengers.

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.

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.

More like 2025 or 2026.

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.

USC petitioner should fill out a new I-864 and send it to you to bring to the interview.

When I checked F2A was Sept 2020 for final action and Current for NVC submittal. OP is DQ'd. He has already submitted his DS-260. I am not sure how this scenario is handled.. I thought applying (submitting DS-260) locks his CSPA age under Seek-to-Acquire. However, the PD is not current for final action.

K1's do not receive welcome letters from NVC. NVC will send a letter when they send the case to the embassy/consulate.

No. No, unless you are currently outside the US. You need to be either in the US or travel with him to the US.

My wife got the same message. I think it's more to do with the online USCIS profile. She submitted the AR-11 form online. However, we couldn't add that to her USCIS profile - it states "receipt number not found".

One interesting thing that I found out is that USCIS guidelines to airlines (common carrier) lists an expired 10 year GC as a valid travel document to be allowed to board a flight to the US. Expired 2 year conditional green cards are not valid without the extension letter. And expired GC will probably lead to more scrutiny by CBP, though.

None of the family relatives you listed good gives you a path to immigration. For now, the only realistic option is the student visa, which will allow you to attend university in the US. You are too young/inexperienced for any work visas. If you gain a STEM or other sought-after degrees, you have a chance to get an employer sponsored visa in 4-5 years. If you do want to pursue the family path, your grandfather or aunt will need to petition for your mom, who can then petition for you after she immigrates. This path will take 20-30 years.

No welcome letters from NVC for K1. Please check the K1 guides again. You are confusing K1 process with CR1.

The "beneficiary" is the visa applicant. The USC is the visa petitioner. So: - Husband is (USC or Immigrant) and (applied or did not apply) for a B2 visa in 2016? - You are the (wife or husband)? Which of the above selections are correct?

Typically 4-8 weeks. They can travel the same day they arrive. Their immigration visa, upon endorsement, will act as a temporary I-551 (GC) for 1 year (from the date of endorsement). They will need to have a family member or friend who can receive the GCs in the mail.
