    Sorry I missed that.

  4. JD2 started following Reddit user posted 1 year visa timeline , About to start my wife's I-485 , How early do I start preparing for Ds260 & I864 and 5 others

    I would include it now with your I-130. Joint bank statements and utility bills are both mentioned in the I-130 instructions. I don't get why you would hold these for ROC, especially with the current administration.

    Go ahead and get ready. I remember when I did my wife's process, the limiting step was the PCC. I wish I had told her to get it earlier since it is valid for 2 years (or was when we did it). That way we could have submitted everything on the very first day rather than waiting for her PCC to come in the mail. What's wrong with filing an extension? I did an extension and it was fine. You just submit a copy of your IRS Form 4868 and the previous year's transcript. I submitted the previous 3 years just to be safe.

    I'm a dual citizen of US and UK by birth. My wife came from India to US on a CR-1. We thought of getting her a re-entry permit and going to live in the UK for a few years. But, we held off until she's a US citizen and not sure if we will at all now. But, I found several Facebook groups to be very helpful. There are things that are easier and things that are harder compared to US immigration. It's also much faster and you can pay for premium processing. Search for Facebook groups and you'll find a wealth of knowledge and people quick to help.

    I only meant that as a side benefit. I think affidavits can be helpful if they come off as genuine and corroborate other evidence. At our I-751 interview, the officer focused most of her time on our affidavit from our interior designer, asking us about various projects we did at our house. It wasn't in a probing way but in a curious way and she told us about things she has done to her house.

    I really liked our Affidavits. I enjoyed reading my friends, family and associates writing about us. It was very touching and I kept copies of them all. You should put out a request and see what you get back. Some of your friends/family may be really good writers; you never know. Also, I tried to focus on affidavits that would corroborate other evidence. e.g. an affidavit of someone who is also in photos with you and spouse. or, I included an affidavit from our interior designer and she described the projects we did at our residence, that corroborated that we actually lived together at our address and it matched the address listed on both of our driver's licenses.

    I would take originals and copies of everything submitted to NVC. It'd be really unfortunate if you show up to an interview and you don't get the visa because of a document missing. If you can't find the I-864, make an updated one. With up to date financials and tax transcripts.

    I get that but she wants to do it for several reasons including filing for parents.

    Does undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for a stage 2 brain tumor qualify for a N-648 approval? English is the immigrant's first language but worried about side effects of the treatments and disease itself affecting the ability to pass the test. The tumor is near the speech area of the brain which is why they could not operate.

    So all the spouse visa beneficiaries who come with their kids, the USC separately petitions for their new stepchildren?

    Maybe a dumb question: could the husband have been a derivative on the IR-5? I know it's too late now but just curious

    This does not seem like a complicated case and you seem savvy so I'd say do it yourself. Use the guides on this website, ask questions here if you have any, and read the instructions and follow them. Best of luck.

    I filed a I-129F for a K-3 for my spouse. Our I-130 was approved in 2 months and our CR-1 was in hand within a year (filed I-130 in Jan got visa in Dec.). This was in 2021 in the middle of covid. In India. My cousins who married before Covid waited 1.5 years for their wives. My brother had similar results as me and he filed a month after me (although his wife from UK so not as impressive). Now, the interesting part IMO is our I-751s were freakishly fast too. So was it the K-3? or is it just something else about certain cases like maybe all the background check items are coincidentally completely clear so the officers are able to quickly approve?

    I just found this: "My immigrant visa expired before I was able to travel to the United States. What should I do? You should contact the Immigrant Visa Unit of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate that issued your visa. You do not need to file a new petition with USCIS, but you may need to submit a new application (DS-260) and pay another immigrant visa application processing fee. In addition, you may need to submit new supporting documents, such as a new medical examination and police certificate. Please be prepared to return your unused, expired visa and visa package (if applicable). Requests to reissue or replace visas are considered on a case-by-case basis, and all applicants are required to re-establish their eligibility; there is no guarantee that you will receive a new visa." https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#NQ
