    1.unfortunately it is not included anymore. however ,the fee is reduced some if you file the I-765 in the same package as the I-485. so the I-765 is only $260 instead of the $550. 2. the physician who did the exam should have given you a copy. if they didn't you should be able to contact them to get a copy of it.

    have you considered going the spousal visa route? timeline isn't much different than K1 right now.

    i just checked our case number and my husbands biometrics where scheduled as well! that's what we're hoping for too lol true but its just nice to know ya know lol

    only montreal processes K1 visa. your spouse will have to go there. "K visas are issued in Canada at the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal." https://ca.usembassy.gov/fiancee/

    got both NOA1s today, before the access codes. can't even ask emma since no one is there on the weekend 😭

    Ahh ok MFJ was fine then. Yours was much easier since she had no income to report lol If you didn't mark her as NRA, no I don't believe so, you can just file normally.

    Since she has a SSN she doesn't have to be marked as a nonresident alien. You can considered her as a resident alien for last year only for tax purposes. But you have to include all foreign made income. So if she worked last year you have to include it. We ended up paying someone to do our taxes cause it was too confusing lol

    Once you have the NVC case number, which is the number you will use from now on, it can be tracked here https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=NIV This will tell you when the NVC sends your case to the embassy, it will show as "in transit". And when it arrives at the embassy it will eventually update to "ready" For k-1 visas you change the drop down to immigrant visa. You can typically contact the NVC through the public inquiry form between 30-60 days after USCIS has said that they have sent your case to the Department of State. You can see that status through your USCIS account if you set one up, or using their case status tracker.

    You don't need to translate the passport biographic page

    NOA2 is the petition approval from USCIS. At that point USCIS sends it to the NVC and then it gets sent to your embassy. Them processing it can still take some time. You probably still have a few months

    If you filed the i-765 at the same time as the i-485 (ie in the same package) the i-765 fee is only $260, not $520

    yea about 3 weeks after it got delivered we check our informed delivery pretty much every night at this point 😂
  13. MalloryCat
    its only been 3 days since we got the text so 😂 yay! hopefully it goes a bit quicker this time lol

    you might be able to call and ask if they can see if you've been issued a number, but that would be it. they can't tell you the SSN over the phone.

    you do not have to change your name with the SSO first. you marriage certificate is a proof of name change on your AOS forms in the "Your Current Legal Name" you can put your married name and put your maiden name in the "Other Names Used Since Birth" part. this goes for any of the forms (I-485, I-765, I-131) do you know what your SSN is? cause if you already applied for one you will need it before you can submit the forms. if you haven't gotten the card back and it has been at least 2 weeks, you might be able to go into the SSO and see if they can tell if to you verbally, that is what we did.
  16. MalloryCat
    makes sense lol thanks!
  17. MalloryCat
    ahh so the online access code comes separately? figured it would be on the same paper as the NOA lol thank you!
  18. MalloryCat
    do we know how long it usually is from getting the text that case was received and getting the physical NOA?
  19. MalloryCat
    Yes that is what you do You put the information on page 14
  20. MalloryCat
    It is not a requirement, you can include the lease if you want, and any photos you might have of getting married is also an option. The only requirement is the proof of marriage, which is a copy of the marriage certificate Adding anything else is just extra
  21. MalloryCat
    We didn't think it was worth the extra cost. If there's worry of needing to go back due to family getting really sick, then yea maybe Otherwise I don't think so
  22. MalloryCat
    We also resubmitted all of the stuff from the first rejection, other than the forms, was accepted so far That neon paper is definitely to show whoever adjudicates it next that it has been scanned before
  23. MalloryCat
    we put unemployment first because it was about 6 months worth. you can always use page 14 for extra space for the employment part. thats what we did
  24. MalloryCat
    definitely go over it like 2 or 3 times to be sure you got every question
  25. MalloryCat
    its asking for the applicant's prior marriages i.e the original beneficiary of the I-129f everything on the I-485 is going to be in reference to the applicant, meaning the person seeking a green card.
