ahh thats too bad 😔 the chances it was the exact amount is crazy though lol

the state of Michigan (most colleges that I saw anyway, so I assume thats the standard for the ones I didn't see) follows this 1 year of residency rule you could check community colleges,they are typically cheaper and might not be so strict with the 12 month rule

you can track your case here using the case number you should have received from the NVC https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=NIV inquiries to the NVC are done here, as youre right they don't take calls https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html if you mean your embassy specifically, a majority now have a way to contact them via email

that does not make you responsible for the child legally. she can try to find the guy and take him to court for child support. unless you take legal claim for the child, you do not have to pay for it

providing a tip to USCIS can be anonymous the option to add your own information is optional

the I-864 is a contract to the government. you are obligated to repay the government for any means-tested public benefits the sponsored immigrant receives. the only thing you are required to do is financially support the immigrant(s) you wouldn't want her to be on medicaid in the first place, that is a means-tested public benefit that you would have to repay back to the government. regardless most often (depends on the state) greencard holders have to wait 5 years before they are considered eligible for medicaid (https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/lawfully-present-immigrants/) however, her being pregnant does mean the 5 year waiting period for medicaid could be waived, but that depends on the state. i assume she became a green card holder within the last 3 years? however, the baby she is pregnant with will be a U.S. citizen. from my understanding you would not be responsible for paying back anything to the government if the baby ends up on medicaid. as A. they will be a US citizen, B. its not yours, C. whoever the biological father is would be responsible for child support. "No. Sponsors are not responsible for benefits used by the sponsored immigrant’s citizen children or by any other “nonsponsored” family members." (https://www.nilc.org/resources/sponsored-immigrants-and-benefits/) I would also suggest speaking with an attorney if you're still not sure. possibly an immigration attorney specifically.

It depends on the embassy Once the CEAC tracking says "ready" you could try contacting your embassy for the next steps

yes that is a generic message K-1 applicants schedule their own interview the beneficiary should receive something from the embassy once the embassy receives it. this will tell them how and when to schedule their interview and their medical exam.

you could include them on the additional information page of the I-129f with a short explanation of them being college addresses

You should be able to contact the facility and request a copy. You can pretty much get a copy of anything from your doctor's if it pertains to you. Especially something like a HIPAA release

1. they should already have your I-693 from the medical he had abroad, but I would say still bring a copy of the DS-3025 with you. 2. if it were me I would bring copies of everything with me. plus anything that wasn't included with the original I-864 (like most recent tax return) 3. I-94, copy of K-1 visa in passport, NOA2 from I-129f, marriage certificate. potential options 4. if you have life insurance or a 401k, adding him as a beneficiary to those and providing that. power of attorney letters (medical power of attorney, durable power of attorney) for both of you, also options i assume both credit cards have the same number? but have your own names on them? you could make copies of the front of the cards and include those are proof

If someone could please update the information here. it still says that the I-765 and the I-131 are included in the price of the I-485 if filing together. I-765 should be $260 if filing with I-485 I-131 should be $630 if filing with I-485

We got our case number through public inquiry. We waited a month from the day USCIS sent our case to the NVC. My husband (the beneficiary) received the physical letter from the NVC almost a month after we knew our case was already at the embassy. You would be better off submitting a public inquiry, the letter is notoriously slow.

Ahh I gotcha Fair enough As long as you are actively pursuing the petition (i.e emailing those documents) you should be fine. The embassy is aware of the validity of i-129fs. It is not uncommon for people's interviews to be after the validity date has passed and they have zero issues For example, our i-129f approval expired on July 4th, and my husband's interview was after that. Zero issues, they didn't even ask about it at the interview If you do everything before the expire date (ie submitting ds-160, emailing documents) you'll be ok. It would be a good idea to have another signed and dated intent to marry letter to bring along to the interview, from both partners.

extension of the approval of the I-129f is almost always done at the time of the K-1 interview. Montreal is notoriously slow since they do all immigrant visa processing there. trying to get in contact is gonna be incredibly difficult. did packet 3 ask you to submit those documents before the interview? typically those things are brought to the interview.

it depends a lot on the bank some will allow joint accounts where 1 person doesnt have an SSN others wont.

what you should do is put everything together with a binder clip. no hole punches, no staples, no other bindings. something is easy for them to remove. put them in a clear plastic bag. clip them to the front of the papers. i believe ours was about 3 pages.

they wanted date and initials next to each question that was skipped on the original I-485, in addition to answering the questions. I'm not sure if you could file the I-290B in this case. someone else might know better other wise you would need to file a new I-485

did you receive a reason for the denial?

also technically a february filer lol filed feb. 7th

since covid they had been waiving some of them, but with the new administration more than likely every AOS applicant will have an interview.

dont let the RFIE discourage you, its not uncommon. as was already said, posting the letter with your personal information redacted would help us know exactly what it is they are requesting. it might seem like a lot of pages in the letter but only one might have exactly what they want from you.

Don't pay too much mind to it. The validity can be extended (and usually is) by the consular officer at the time of the interview if your interview is past the date. If your case has been sent to NVC, you should be able to submit an inquiry to them about your case number. Between 30-60 days after it has been sent to them.

I assume you are the foreign fiance? 1. Since you will be getting a medical exam before your k-1 visa interview, you will not need the i-693. Be aware however that since you are still at the beginning of the process, that could change. But as of now, you will not need that. If you think you would need to travel before receiving a green card, you could also file form i-131. But that is another cost. 2. Payment for the forms is best done with a check. You will need a check for each form the requires payment. So 1 check for the i-485, one for the i-765. You write on the note section of the check what it is for. The biometrics cost is included in the form fees as of now, so you don't need to specify that on the check. 3. You will only need to bring the appointment notice and a photo ID (your passport). When you eventually get the appointment notice for the biometrics, it tells you exactly what to bring to the appointment. 4. Yes, basically the same as the i-134. But you don't have to send 3 years of tax return transcripts, they only require the most recent year. But it doesn't hurt to send all 3 years. 5. I would suggest including a copy of your marriage certificate as well. 6. You will not need to submit the i-693. You will receive a medical exam before your k-1 visa interview. At the exam you can and should receive all of the required vaccines. The dr will give you a form DS-3025. You will submit a COPY of this with the AOS package and a cover letter stating you received a medical exam abroad and are not required to do another. 7. I suggest reading through the AOS filers posts for now. You still have a long way to go before you get to this point. From my experience it's best not to try and overload yourself with all the information. Focus on the part you are on now. Just the k-1 visa stuff, you'll get overwhelmed by all the information. And this stuff is always changing and the stuff I mentioned could very well change by the time you get to this point.

1. that should be everything you need. 2. it should not need to be no 3. no. just the DS-160 confirmation and receipt of payment for the K1 4. the best thing you can provide is the last 3 years of tax return transcripts. this is different than just the tax return (1040). your fiance can download their tax return transcripts by creating an online account with the IRS (if they haven't already) https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript you can bring the W2 and pay stubs just in case, but they will more than likely just want the tax return transcripts.
