Family

ALL statements ( bank/credit/utilities/insurance/paystubs ), no matter if joint or solo, as they show a joint shared address . A very few family photos of last 3 years ..just handwritten one liner ex “ dinner on turkey day w cousins or friends on Nov , year x, b=day breakfast in bed 😂 in xyz year. This stuff is complex, think more like navigating through a court of law, not getting frustrated with DMV. You are courageous to tackle DIY, so kudos to you. Mistakes happen. You just need to speed it up so you know for sure if I-290 B will get to home base or new adjustment needed.

If I-130 was sent to NVC and OP did not check in once a year, they may have terminated case. So if 3 years or less, case can be reopened otherwise can just file new I-130 w I-485. ..but ignoring NVC does have consequences.

Part 2: mark item 2c for “Motion to ReOpen and Motion to Reconsider” Item 3, list only the I-485 but add info on last page to say I-485 and underlying applications I-765 and I-131 Part 3 , item 7, say “ See Attached” and “ REQUEST for acceptance of LATE FILLED I-290 B for good cause. Applicant timely married on xyz . Government entity erred in data entry on marriage certificate . Delay and error beyond applicants control , requesting humanitarian discretion . Your Cover Letter : Date, Name address of Mrs. @elkski USCIS address RE: I-290 B Motion to ReOpen and/or Motion To Reconsider I-485 Case #, Name of Mrs, A# Dear Officer, In support of the above ref I-290 Motion to Reopen and/or Motion To Reconsider , I am submitting the following factual, and evidentiary documentation: 1. Evidence of qualification for adjustment of status at the time of filing I-485 on xyz date. ‘Marriage Certificate ( include the final correct doc ) Evidence of Joint Life from time of K-1 entry to date ( tax returns, bank/credit/bills/photos and the kitchen sink) MAKE a list and list out each item by letter or number Sworn Affidavit by US Citizen Spouse attesting to the validly of marriage and Extraordinary Hardship . ( optional but giving you a chance to rail/rant 😂 NO cursy words..ex my wife is my life , suffered /suffering financial, emotional…losing sanity in navigating a more than 3 year delay..) 2. Applicant attempted all reasonable and timely efforts to address typographical/data entry error made by other government agencies. Circumstances beyond Applicant’s control . Humbly requesting Service to accept this Late Filed I-290 B and favorable adjudication. Kindly note the RFE s was vague and we were unable to identify specific documentation deficiency . Subsequent trips to courts/ registrar have ultimately resulted in correcting the typo . Applicant additionally attempted to timely file an I-290 B . Applicant acknowledges mailing the packet to an address other than the Chicago PO Box , in the mistaken belief USCIS will forward the sensitive filing. For this we apologize and ask for discretion , navigating the multitude of information and complex instructions on public website is challenging. Respectfully, ‘Mrs @elskin Do skip all other details you originally drafted , but edit my suggestion as you see fit. The gist of your agreement…although you can tell I don’t spell everything out …this is more got you to get clear on She married in time and otherwise qualifies . Typo was NOT her error, other govt , so beyond control RFE was vague You filed timely , USCIS should just forward filings and not long ago, that was a practice spelled in internal memos Bloody long 3 year wait They can deal with it, they have discretion. You are appealing to the Human reading. …so even humor is good… BUT don’t admit fault 😂

Omg! You got me going down a rabbit hole..laughing . I now know what a rubia and a rojo is 😂. ..so that I can better understand the JC chronicles

Unless your PD date is Jan 01, 2022 then just wait it out as any other Jan date means visa still not available, so processing time is irrelevant and I-485 expedite request won’t be considered. As long as your husband was in status at the time he applied for I-485 and F-2A was current, you have nothing to worry about. No matter how swift new administration implements changes, any drastic steps would likely affect future applicants and have a future start date…(example eliminating the 2 visa bulletin charts ) I think you will naturalize before the Visa Bulletin gets revamped anyway. ..see if you have any qualifying expedite criteria to nudge your N-400 . https://www.cliniclegal.org/resources/further-retrogression-august-visa-bulletin That meant the spouses and unmarried children of lawful permanent residents (LPR) could file for adjustment of status if they had been inspected and admitted or paroled on their last entry and had always maintained lawful immigration status, including not having worked without authorization, at the time they filed the Form I-485.

Man accused of attacking TV reporter, saying ‘This is Trump’s America now’ Colorado man is facing possible bias-motivated charges for allegedly attacking a television news reporter after demanding to know whether he was a citizen, saying “This is Trump’s America now,” according to court documents. Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested December 18 in Grand Junction after police say he followed KKCO/KJCT reporter Ja’Ronn Alex’s vehicle for around 40 miles from the Delta area. Alex told police that he believed he had been followed and attacked because he is Pacific Islander. After arriving in Grand Junction, Egan, who was driving a taxi, pulled up next to Alex at a stoplight and, according to an arrest affidavit, said something to the effect of: “Are you even a US citizen? This is Trump’s America now! I’m a Marine and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you!” https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-accused-attacking-tv-reporter-185927490.html

Your wife worked /filed for last 2 years only, as you stated. So it’s ok for # 15 to be No , list current year figures in 16 an and N/A to other 2 fields (16b, 16c) Marking 15 as yes, would be fine as well cause she technically filed when /what was required and 1 of the 3 years, there was no income, thus no requirement ..but I prefer simplicity

Yes, you are entering 1 for sponsored immigrant ( part 5, item 1) and 0 for her in item 3.

History repeats itself. Feel free to move thread to Off Topic , where it was originally posted. …title of thread was forged by external forces , not OP choosing. 😂

For clarity, a rejection letter from the mailroom allows you to resubmit as-is packet for all types of cases where they have already opened and body bagged 😂 even such sensitive docs as a sealed medical ( not applicable to your case). @Yareth advice is logical and common sense…but this process is often a matter of reading fine print and even more often counterintuitive.

Just resend packet AS IS, including Rejection Notice. Read it again, it tells you to include it for a reason. ‘No new fotos, just new check for the filing fee of $675 https://www.uscis.gov/g-1055?form=i-129f

Read through a few recent I-290 B threads in link below. Late filled motions/appeals for good cause are a “discretion “ thing, so it’s a crapshoot. ..but worth the gamble. You can update your Cover Letter and add a little Woeth Me {“ If it weren’t for Bad Luck, I ‘d have No Luck at All” ) and show you attempt earlier filing but USCIS returned/rejected (?) and possible packet ‘dismemberment “ ( missing pages) at some stage of handling. Am not making light, just saying be expressive and try touching the “human” bit of officer reading you Short Concise Statement/Cover Letter Just so you understand the possible outcomes: 1. Filing is acknowledged by Office that denied it you get notice 2. They say, OK, we will re open , so a pretty fast 60 day decision 3. They say..Hmm , we are sending this to AAO , decision a bit longer https://www.uscis.gov/i-290b-addresses Decision made by the National Benefits Center on a: Family-based Form I-485, or Section 13-based Form I-485 USCIS Chicago Lockbox U.S. Postal Service (USPS): USCIS Attn: AOS P.O.

When You’re Too Drunk to Realize You Almost Hit Kamala Harris Head-On

You are ok to DIY , if you have lots of joint life evidence , beyond what you sent in the first time. ..be it with legal representation or DIY, gathering and developing that evidence is your task, anyway. So resubmit whatever you filed w the 1st time, add and update everything up until date of separation/divorce. I would not delay filing I-751 quickly , with whatever evidence you have on hand . ..and send in additional evidence later. You can also take your time , look for a good attorney, without being rushed into selection. Crucial will be to bring an attorney with you to a future interview.

OPs spouse already has established SS and paper existence as she entered on K-1 and had I-485/I-765 filed and pending for 3 years.

If you have made up your mind to refile I-485 then : 1. Do the latest revision date for I-485 . Advantage better chance of avoiding an RFE for updating form ..though no guarantee. 2. Save your $$ for I-765/I-131 unless wife needs to work and you both agree to no travel for a while. 3. You need new I-693 medicals ( simple and expensive) or take the DS-3025 to the appointment and see if they will review and only do partial related to vaccination updates. 4. I feel bad that no one responded and helped you with the follow up questions for your I-290 B … ‘I am one the “yappers” who would have gladly jumped in…but I missed your post. ** I am of the position that you should still try filing a Late Filled I-290 B , before filing new adjustments.** The errors were due to circumstances beyond your control and you have abundant evidence of continuous efforts to address issues …even the incomplete 1st I-290 B attempt (s) are positives. It’s OK not to get all these mind boggling minutia /technical details right at first try…don’t be hard on yourself.

N-400 was always speedier…election year or not. Class action and Lots of WOM action by those stuck in FBI name checks , salt caves , black holes or certain countries on radar has made the opaque vetting delays more transparent, especially for N-400 Kudos to new grassroots WOM DIYErs. Anytime there is possibility of judicial review, there’s light at end of the tunnel

Ok, I ‘ll play😂. ..here’s my reasoning behind doing both, what is YOURS? I-751 take longer to process, will definitely slow to a crawl again . N-400 will continue to be fast tracked…thanks to grassroots movement of a while back by volumes of DIYers who went against immigration attorneys advising’wait for ROC’ decision. Most importantly, credit due to the Class Action Lawsuit to speed up N-400 a couple of years back. ‘Strategy is to get as many eyes/hands on his file as possible, as soon as possible.

You need to refile I-751 with divorce waiver TODAY. ..definitely before administration changes. ‘Do cover letter requesting Good Cause Late Filing Exception. An N-400 is not going to be approved unless/until ROC is approved. Since your I-751 denial was Feb 2023, I-751 is too stale to revive ‘Your current N-400 was filed in 2021 under the 3 year rule and based on failed marriage . No matter you attempting to amend it post 2022 interview, this too is a dead horse. Coming soon is a return to USCIS practice of automatic NTA for all denied applications as well as a likely purge of so called purgatory stuck cases. So best thing you can do is 1. File I-751 ASAP . Request it be accepted late 2. As soon as you have a new case number for I-751 , prepare a New N-400 under 5 year rule . Include a signed letter requesting the 1st N-400 ( case #xyz ) be withdrawn Did you not consult any immigration attorneys during this time ? Or at least research on DIY forums as you are doing now?

You are a more skilled master of I-864 issues than this forum’s favorite YouTube lawyer Jim ( whom I blame for this 3 year legend , anyway 😂) . Good input on possible issues w form on household size…but as we know RFE can be overcome even without redoing I-864 and simply stating : “ I earn $$, here is CURRENT return/transcript/W-2 and paystub”
