So we received in the mail the I-797C for Biometrics reuse, but we have not yet received the 48-month extension letter on the official watermark paper in the mail. In case we do not receive the 48-month extension letter, can we print a copy of the 48-month extension letter file from my.uscis.gov document tab and use that for travel?

For #14, the fiancee I-134 lists 1. The father I-134 lists 3. For #15, The fiancee sponsor can leave blank. The father sponsor lists the mother and the fiancee, only because the fiancee income may not be high enough to sponsor by itself. That's my guess.

AOS I-693 medical exams are most likely not covered by health insurance. We went to a civil surgeon who is in our health insurance network and is also a primary physician. They took our health insurance card, but we still paid full price, which was like 560. But yes, contact your health insurance company to verify. Yes, submit I-131 and I-765 along with the I-485 if you see the need to travel or work before the AOS is approved. Remember to include the extra fees.

From your Timeline, you have been waiting about 5 months or about 150 days. VJ has some data you can look at that can give you ballpark estimates. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/stats.php Texas Service Center average is about 161 days to approval. NVC can vary depending on which consulate/embassy it sends to. Sweden's average day from receiving from NVC to interview is 54 days. So if all goes well, you should be getting approval in the next 2-3 weeks from the Texas Service Center. So adding (10 to 15 days at TSC) + (10 to 30 days at NVC) + (54 days at Sweden) = (74 days to 100 days more wait). Sweden consulate sends out the Packet 3 notice. So you really have nothing to do but wait and prepare the I-134 till you receive the Packet 3 email. https://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Sweden&cty=Stockholm You can check other Sweden members at https://www.visajourney.com/portals/index.php?country=Sweden As the disclaimer goes: past performances does not guarantee future results.

Supporting documents are the supporting evidence of financial support. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-134instr.pdf I would include as much document/evidence to show that the joint sponsors can financially support beyond the 1.25 times the poverty guideline. https://aspe.hhs.gov/topics/poverty-economic-mobility/poverty-guidelines At the minimum, include 3-6 months of payslips along with 3 years of IRS tax return transcripts. But I would include more than the minimum like a bank reference letter, any assets, properties, investments, etc.

Each of the joint sponsor files independently their own I-134 with the supporting documents, and sends it to the K1 beneficiary before the interview. Both I-134s can be sent together in one package. So the K1 beneficiary will take two I-134s to the consulate interview.

Which embassy? Has your case been transferred from NVC? Which month did you file? Maybe join your month K-1 filer group to see the current status of others. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/128-k-1-fiancee-visa-case-filing-and-progress-reports/ Also, please complete your Timeline to help others identify your status and your data can help others with the K-1 data. https://www.visajourney.com/times/k1-fiance-visa-historical/

Received notice to login for the Receipt Notice (48-month extension) and Biometrics reuse. Still waiting for the actual letters in the mail. Does anyone know where to find the data for the Texas Service Center processing times? So our Timeline is now: 2025-01-30: I-751 Receipt Notice and Biometrics reuse uploaded to my.uscis.gov Texas Service Center 2025-01-29: I-751 check cashed. 2025-01-28: email notification to login to my.uscis.gov. Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Sent On January 23, 2025, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number IOE********** 2025-01-23: I-751 received/signed Elgin, IL 2025-01-22: I-751 Remove Conditions sent via FedEx

If the credit card account is in your name and your wife is just a cardholder, the credit card statements usually itemizes each cardholders purchases. When you print the statements be sure to print setting "fit to printable area" so nothing is cropped out. And you include all the blank pages and commercials in the statements.

You can combine table of contents with the cover letter, which is more for us than for USCIS since it is a good organizer. You can list all the evidence in order in the cover letter. Your evidence list is good. For the electric/gas bills, are you including every month, or every 2 months, or every 3 months, since when? Same can be said for credit cards, health insurance, car insurance, etc. since when? Pics with captions are good but not necessarily essential. I included our wedding pics with the the I-485, so our pics were in backwards chronological order back to after the wedding. Stacking these evidence is why the I-751 is so thick for many of us. Mine was about 2 inches thick.

I would call USCIS and get clarification if the letter you received is an RFE or a denial. If it is an RFE, then you can send in the pay confirmation, update to completion, birthdate update, etc. If it is a denial, then you may have to pay the 750 fee again, and resend the whole package again with the updates. But you definitely need some clarification from USCIS or you can talk them into an RFE?

His current income is the determining factor for the I-134 and I-864. Have him include 3 months of payslips to show current income along with his 3 years of IRS tax return transcripts. His current income extrapolated to a yearly salary should be 1.25 times the poverty guidelines. https://aspe.hhs.gov/topics/poverty-economic-mobility/poverty-guidelines So for a household of 2, his yearly income should be at least 26,437.5 = 1.25 * 21,150. If his paycheck is not consistent, then a joint sponsor is recommended.

You can document the ticket in Part 11. Additional Information if that gives you peace of mind. For the I-485, I mentioned in the Additional Information that I had about a dozen traffic and parking tickets just to let USCIS know I had nothing to hide.

Interesting that USCIS only uploaded 1 electric bill to the my.uscis.gov documents tab. Did anyone else have USCIS upload more of your evidence sent with your I-751? So my Timeline is now: 2025-01-29: I-751 check cashed. 2025-01-28: email notification to login to my.uscis.gov. Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Sent On January 23, 2025, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number IOE********** 2025-01-23: I-751 received/signed Elgocuments tabin, IL 2025-01-22: I-751 Remove Conditions sent via FedEx

Was your check/money order/credit card ever cashed? If yes, you can use that as evidence of payment.

So is our NOA date 1/23/2025, the date listed in the my.uscis.gov?

I guess different banks require different things? I remember my wife took her SSC to the bank to open our joint account, and the bank teller just wanted her to type in the number and didn't really look at the card? But the teller did take a look at her passport and I-94 and used them to type in something herself.

So my foreign spouse received an email notification today (1/28/2025) to login to my.uscis.gov, and got the receipt number even though the check had been not cleared. It looks like our receipt starts with IOE********** so it is the National Benefits Center? The exact message is: January 23, 2025 Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Sent On January 23, 2025, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number IOE**********, and sent you a receipt notice or acceptance notice. The notice describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

If you have the Social Security Number and not the card, the number is really all you need to open bank account, get driver's license, fill in the I-485, etc. No one really asks to see the card. If there is no reason you need a card, I would wait till you get the green card and try again.

Both you and the joint sponsor file individual I-134 and send to the beneficiary. So your beneficiary will have two I-134s to take to the consulate interview. Same for the I-864, each sponsor will fill out an I-864, all to include with the I-485.

Not advised to get the SSN with the I-765 or I-485. It is best to get the SSN with the passport and I-94 as soon as possible at the Social Security Office because the I-765 or I-485 approval can take several months or more. You will need the SSN sooner to open a bank account, get a state id/driver's license, sign up for utility bills, etc. You can check our Timeline or our Profile->Our Story for the sequence in which we got our SSN after US Entry, and the name change on the SSN.

You can see a cover letter discussion here https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/827917-what-do-you-think-about-this-cover-letter-i-751/ And evidence discussion here https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/827326-enough-evidence/ I also recommend that you follow a couple of months of I-751 filer groups to get an idea of what to expect https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/86-removing-conditions-on-residency-general-discussion/

Do you already have a conditional green card? If yes, then follow the I-751 guidelines from USCIS "Checklist of Required Initial Evidence (for informational purposes only)" https://www.uscis.gov/i-751 and VJ guidelines for I-751 https://www.visajourney.com/guides/removing-conditions-permanent-residency/ and follow USCIS Form Filing Tips https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail

Too early to notice any change to the USCIS processing times. Current USCIS processing times for K1 can be 8-12 months plus consulate process times. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ But VJ members reported Timeline data are at https://www.visajourney.com/times/k1-fiance-visa-historical/

Part 2, Item 11, is the beneficiary’s mailing address. Part 2, Item 12, is the beneficiary’s physical address history for the last 5 years. Part 2, Item 13, is the Date From and Date To: PRESENT, of Item 12 physical address. Part 2, Item 14-15, is the previous physical address history if the beneficiary changed address within the last 5 years, and include the Date From and Date To. If the beneficiary has had more than 2 physical addresses in the past 5 years, then continue in Part 8, additional information by listing Page Number: 5, Part Number: 2, Item Number: 14-15. If Item 11 and 12 are the same, then yes type in the address again, and include Item 13 the Date From with the Date To: PRESENT. Some country's locales may have different mailing to physical address because their mailing system may or may not deliver to the physical address, but will deliver to the mailing address. The K1 visa will be mailed to the Item 11 address, unless the beneficiary reports an address change.
