Personally I am not concerned but sadly we postponed the tax to this week - while waiting for my teen to be given the SSN number which never arrived - and so we will not have the 2k off tax - too bad. That would have paid for our next trip to visit my son in Nepal! My husband called IRS but there is no way to add that rebate later on, they said.

Interesting. We had the interview 3 weeks ago and heard nothing, I assume they are busy but no news and no request of further evidence. Strange. Maybe government shutdown is an excuse...

hi everyone, well, it's been 3 weeks and no news. A week after the interview, my teen daughter received an email from USCIS saying 'We have taken action'. But when we went to log in there was nothing aside from 'we booked the interview' (which was already done a month prior). Still today no updates. I know the government is in shut down, but as fast as I am aware, this should not be affecting K1?

thanks, and yes you can upload anything that you think can support their request and avoid uploading stuff that might mean trouble in any way. Also, I wanted to add that so far we have not had received ANY comments about the Medical. We did not do all the vaccines last year. We delayed the Covid and had it after arriving here, but now it is no longer asked for. Also we did not have the flu vaccine which was out of flu season then and it is now (unit October 1st) so I hope we are done with that. Now that everyone has the interview, you get the chance to explain more things.

I submitted every single document outlined in their website from birth certificates to divorce, and my hubby presented his tax and financial info, his own birth certificate etc. We brought all the docs again as requested and also the new docs showing we live at the same address, insurance etc. The lady did not ask for ANY documents, however in the end she said, Have you brought any documents that you have not yet submitted? He replied yes, so she asked for those new ones and she said that some people upload them, some send them and some bring them and it's the same to her. We didn't know we were ever supposed to send them the NEW evidence that we live at the same address and share medical insurance etc. It doesn't say so anywhere in the paperwork that we read hundreds of times. My hubby explained that and she was like, 'I will get the documents added, thanks' and did not explain why this si not specified. If he had not said anything, she would have not added them and maybe later she could have asked us for such evidence.

Very true! They swore!

We are back! Interview lasted one hour and the officer only asked me questions, and only 2 questions to my teen daughter about when my boyfriend came to visit. We spent ages photocopying documents but she did not ask for any of them, including medical or photos, which I offered to show. Half of the questions were from the 485 form, such as 'do you have plans to facilitate terrorism or prostitution?' Like, yeah and I would tell an officer if I did? Anyway we left with the same piece of paper as shown in this thread by Edward and Jaycel. Now of course as soon as I arrived home I logged in to USCIS but to my surprise I no longer see the usual page with all the steps. It is now a new page that asks me what I want to do, but nothing about me, my case etc. The officer said that unless we hear from her to show more documents we are good. Just to update some of the Google reviews about rude staff at security: the staff were all very efficient and polite. We were asked to show the USCIS letters, ID, and take off our shoes and bags. That's all. Upstairs to my happy surprise there was not the usual arctic cold caused by AC madness so I did not freeze as expected. The officer was a black lady, very elegant, very pleasant and with a rolling accent which at times I found slightly difficult. All the other officers I saw calling their customers seemed to be extremely pleasant and polite. Also, USCIS is now hiring Immigration agents...LOL I will keep you updated, and I hope it's all good! (Should be: we have been together 6 years now!) Thanks for all the comments! Very helpful.

Amazing! I hope that Colorado is fast too. My teen doesn’t have SSN yet so she cannot be recorded as a dependent - which would save us a couple thousand dollars!

Thank you! Yes I had read yours! Can you remember how long it took from the interview to receiving Green card and ssn? Congrats!

Hi! Not sure I am posting in the correct area! I am in the car while my hubby drives us to Uscis in Centennial Colorado for our Green card interview We have documents etc and I wonder what questions they ask? i searched old threads but had no luck! Appointment at 11…wish me luck!

She turns 18 in January 26. And yes the council tax is ridiculous and I am not going to be a poor widow if tragedy strucks. Luckily we are both healthy and not planning to age ever! But I hear you.

Today when he returns from his fishing trip I will flood him with questions! My teen is 18 in January. She can stay with her Dad in England if she wants as we have joint custody or she can stay with our close friends while she thinks things through.... My new husband will keep her here if she wants. We talked about it. IF he died we would return to England very quickly as for me it's outrageous to pay these extremely high house taxes and medical insurances and I would rebuild my life back in the UK (We have both British and Italian passports). I don't want to spend my life donating my savings to the USA, lol and we don't like the direction we are taking with politics/violence. Very often we talk about relocating...a will might help or not.

I have my daughter here and my son in Nepal! I am not on other insurances...he is actually a lawyer and thinks he does not need a will because the law states clearly what goes to whom....

Of course! Yes I am on his medical insurance and so is my daughter. No will...

many thanks. I am sure we will come up with something. If the officer asks, my husband might say I have made changes to all the rooms, bought two gerbils and 50 plants and I am in the middle of redesigning the garden and a new pond! All things that real wives do....
