  1. Thanks a lot for educating me on this. I do use Turbotax, I'm planning to use it again with the paper filing, I'll follow your tips. Thanks again.
  2. I'm a US citizen, my wife is neither a US citizen or LPR, I'm trying to figure this out, it looks like I will have to do paper filing which is something new to me, so I really don't know yet what forms need to be filed.
  3. I'm also checking if there is an electronic way to file as MFS, I came across a software called Sprintax but would love to see if anyone has tried it?
  4. I was in Nebraska as well and got transferred the same day to Potomac, I can't comprehend why this service center is a lot slower than other ones.
  5. My wife visited me during Christmas/New year, She came through Dulles Airport in Virginia, she spent 30 seconds at the CBP officer, she was only asked about the reason of her visit, she told the officer that she's spending the holidays with me, he wished her a happy holidays and that was it.
  6. It is fraud if you apply for a tourist visa with the intent of staying. You won't be able to change your status from a tourist to a resident, the only feasible options are if you get married (legit marriage) or DV lottery.
  7. Based on some FB groups, it is 2 to 4 months for marriage cases and 4 to 6 months for K1 cases.
  8. Since you already filed for i-130, you can file for i-485, i-765, i-131. and i-864, make sure to attach your i-130 receipt notice with your package, be prepared to stay in the US until at least you get your advance parole, your employment card might take few months, so you wont be able to work until you get your employment card.
  9. I think it's an overall estimate, but I wouldn't count on it being accurate since the pool of people that fill out their timeline is so small.
  10. Well the medical test is more of an administrative process than a medical one, most (if not all) doctors don't actually test you, they might just ask you if you have any conditions, I doubt this will be an issue with the actual marriage.
  11. I agree with you that people need to read the instructions and be careful filling out the forms or get help, but choosing to just go by evidence for this specific issue as you stated makes the backlog worse, it doesn't help the overall issue.
  12. if they only answered question 61 (Adjustment of Status), then yes, it's clearly incorrect and there is no way for USCIS to assume the beneficiary is outside the US, but in all cases, the address of beneficiary should be a clue for USCIS as well as whether there is a filed i-485, but many officers unfortunately are lazy or maybe they're told to just issue RFEs to slow things down.
  13. there is no divorce in your current marriage because it's invalid, you have to get married again.
  14. your current marriage is invalid, you need to withdraw your i-130, divorce your first wife, then remarry your current wife and then refile for your i-130, it's going to be a mess, if i were you i would probably consider hiring an immigration lawyer.
  15. well I meant they should issue the RFE before approving the petition.
  16. The i-824 form fee is $465 per USCIS website, I always thought it is ridiculous that USCIS doesn't just give an RFE for this instead of making people apply for i-824 and wait few months again for it to be approved, but if you have to file it, I don't see how you can file it without paying the fee.
