  1. Thank you. He is not a minor child. Hes 20 He was claimed on 2023 financial year only because he was a full time student. He wont be claimed as dependant on financial year 2024
  2. Thank all for your suggestions. We ended up having a friend filling as an officiant, getting his minister and state license and getting married in our home, accompanied by our friends and family. @W199 thank you as well for the suggestion for filling taxes together, saving taxes was not as important to us as doing everything on our pace and wages are not important also since I own two companies and will be self employed anyway.
  3. I am currently completing my I-485 form along with i-864 for my AOS. My husband had his son as a dependant on his taxes (2023 financial year) but will not claim his as a dependant again for 2024 (next year filling) Should we list our household size as two (me and him) or three (if they take into account his most recent tax return)?
  4. That would cost us more to just hire an officiant. Thanks for the info though The last option could work, we already have our marriage license in our county.
  5. I came over on a K1 visa on Dec 1st, with a K1 and I will be out of status on Feb 28th We called our local court on Dec 3rd, there are no available appointments until March! So I will be out of status. We asked the court to notify us of any cancellations, but no luck so far. What alternatives do we have? An officiant that costs $300 or if we get married after 90 days and file i-130 concurrently, that will cost $535 extra.
  6. As I said 2 documents mention the same, Yes As I said 2 docs mention the same SSNAP Printout for Social Security Number Card that has a Ref number and mentions, Lawful Alien Allowed to Work DHS Case number: xxxxx that mentions: Temporary Employment Authorized The second clearly says DHS return values ... Employment Authorized I even went online at the DHS website and I can track the DHS case with result "returned to agency"
  7. I know that part, what i dont know and ask about is that they also gave me a paper that mentions DHS Case number: xxxxx that mentions: Temporary Employment Authorized
  8. A few days ago I applied for Social Security Card ( I came to the US under K1, still not married) The confirmation receipt they gave me states: You can use your Social Security card for work only if you have authorization from the Department of Homeland Security. However, they gave me two more papers: SSNAP Printout for Social Security Number Card that has a Ref number and mentions, Lawful Alien Allowed to Work and they also gave me a paper that mentions DHS Case number: xxxxx that mentions: Temporary Employment Authorized I thought that under the K1 visa you were allowed to work but had to apply for EAD. Has something changed and while the card application goes through the DHS also gives you work authorization or?
  9. We had our interview on October 10th The agent told us that everything looks in order, the process takes about 7 days, congratulations They also kept my passport. Today, 8 days later the status still remains ready. Hasn't changed to refused, denied, approved, issued or anything I emailed the US embassy and they told me: "Based on our records the case is pending for possible adjudication. Once we complete the process, you will be notified. Please do not make any travel arrangements, until you have received your approved visa." Is this a typical process, meaning the "official" approval hasn't gone through yet or is there any possibility our case will be refused? Appreciate any responses.
  10. Just an update on this, my B1/B2 visa was approved and my K1 remains open for 1 year
  11. Although my country allows for ESTA, I own a company outside of the US and I need to travel to the US for more than 3 months for business reasons. Therefore, I had initially applied for a B1/B2 visa on March 2021 but that application was on hold due to the pandemic. Meanwhile, me and my boyfriend applied for K1 Visa in May 2021. Now, in November 2021 the embassy contacted me regarding my B1/B2 visa and scheduled me an appointment for April 21st 2022. In January I used my ESTA and visited my bf for 2 months (we travelled together) On April 19th 2022, the embassy rescheduled my appointment for April 20th and I missed that email as I was travelling. I requested a reschedule and they booked me an appointment for 27th October 2022. Now, our k1 visa was approved in June 2022 and the case is now ready. However, I DO NOT WISH to use this yet, as I need to make the business trip and come back to my country for few months before i proceed with the K1 visa. The embassy has sent me p3 but I have deliberately not proceeded to fill in DS160 as I have another DS160 active for the B1/B2 visa. My question is, how do I proceed with postponing the K1 process (I read up its possible to postpone for 3 months each time, for a total of 12 months) Should I ask for them to postpone now? Should I wait after my B1/B2 visa appointment to postpone the K1? Or should I proceed with the DS160 and select the latest possible date i find for interview? My NOA expires Oct 15th!
