Yeah I would too. It would suck for that little error to cause denial at the interview stage!!

I just figured it out. I kept trying to do the US resident alien test by putting in the days ive been in the US for, but it asks how many days you PLAN to be here.. So thats 365. Then it did accept me as resident alien!

Hi friends, I know it's a long shot, but I am someone who likes to stream on Twitch occasionally and have made a few bucks from it. After getting my EAD, I made some more, but I have to change my Tax interviews etc. So I did that. But I can't say I'm a resident, or gc holder etc, so I have to select the 'Non US-citizen' option. They then asked me to provide proof that I am not etc. I'll copy the direct info below. You have provided a treaty country that is different from the permanent address country. In order to remedy the discrepancy, please provide a written explanation establishing entitlement to treaty benefits, or you may provide documentary evidence that establishes tax residency in the treaty country claimed. Some common examples of accepted documents are Passport, Certificate of Residency or National ID card. The documentation must be issued by an authorized governmental body and contain your full name, address and photograph. So I can't select I'm a US resident, as it asks the following: Are you a United States (U.S.) citizen, U.S. permanent resident (green card holder), or other U.S. resident alien? and according to all my research, no I am not. But then it rejects my explanation of 'I recently moved to the US on a K1 visa to live with my now husband. I am not a greencard holder yet, but I have an employment authorisation. So I'm still only a Dutch citizen.' I'm so confused on what they want from me.. LOL. Anyone with experience in this field?

Huh, I only needed my ssn to set up a joint account. I’ve had one since February! Yay frost

I have to go into the SSA to get my SSN they never delivered. And husband is working 2 jobs these last two weeks, so no slot for an appointment. Hopefully next week or the week after I can get it, and then I can actually look into it. I did see I need to take some 6h class because I’m not 25 yet, November, so depending on that I might wait til November and try to get an ID instead

Holy moly!!!! That’s so fast! Congrats!

RFE was sent, we haven’t been denied yet, that’s all I know!

I got the email with tracking last night from informed delivery! So it should be all good

Yeah that's what I figured LOL. I'm in no rush anyway, if it arrives I gotta make an appointment at the social security administration again etc.. sigh. But I'm glad to hear it's not a ME issue, since a lot of the process has been XD

Card was produced yesterday, shipping number is unavailable so we'll wait patiently!

Question, how do y'all know when the card is produced?

Right!!! Now I need to look up how to get my driver’s license LOL

Oh uh, I got my work authorisation! That was fast.

Biometrics done! Ofcourse my appointment is on a day where we have amazing weather (rainstorms) LOL but it was in and out within 10 min. And now we wait!

The 864 is filled in by my husband. I filled in everything else because this is my adjustment of status, so my paperwork. I just doublecheck his stuff because two pairs of eyes is better than one. He just didn't read the instructions as well as I hoped, which caused the RFE to happen. Edit: As for the signature etc being correct, yes this was correct when we filed. Everything was correct outside of me adding a W2, hence my confusion on what exactly went wrong, but thankfully this community is really helpful

Yeah mine took a few days to come, I think it arrived 4 days after I saw it in the account? But as long as you see when and fill in that form on the second page, you're good

The only thing I want to add is that you don't need it IF the box on the DS-3025 was marked that says you completed the vaccinations.. Without seeing the DS-3025, it's hard to say if they did that or not. But if you gotten all vaccinations etc, there's no reason for them not to have marked that.

Kinda funny you got your access before the receipts, mine was the other way around haha

Yay!!! I have my biometrics on the 30th! 🙂

Like an acceptance for your 485? No that’s not true

I do have one! I just had to double check with my husband as he filed them when I was asleep. So those are ready to be sent. I just need to make sure that they’re complete like you mentioned. And thank you for explaining the difference, I guess the language barrier popped out there since in Dutch it would be ‘oh you can use either’

Yeah I wish I read it more thoroughly now. So that sucks. But honestly, the instructions are so vague in my opinion. Like this for example, regarding current income: 'For example, you may include a recent letter from your employer, showing your employer’s address and telephone number, and indicating your annual salary. You may also provide pay stubs showing your income for the previous six months.' I read the 'you may also' as you can do them mutually exclusively, not have to do both. But that might be me being foreign? I don't know. I think I won't use the paystubs, because I'll have to get the letter and that's just gonna take time (plus I have to let my husband do it and I hate not doing it myself) so I'll use the complete tax return copy. I'll look into what that will be, because I currently only have the tax return transcript with like 6 pages. I don't want to mess this up.

He filed the taxes last weekend, so I didn't have them at the time of filing, but I do now, so that's why I didn't add it then. I'll take some time to reread I-864, the last time I read it was in January (and skimmed it earlier), so I might've missed something. But we didn't add the paystubs before, so that's probably why I didn't save the info on the EVL. Thanks for your help, it's hard to read through all of it when you're disappointed lol

So if I add the paystubs, I should calculate the income with that. If I don't, I should grab the number from the 2024 tax return, right?

What would the letter state? Because he’s paid hourly, not salary, so it’s based on his location etc, if they move him to another site (security), so I’m not sure if they can even give a number for it
