My wife got her 1st dose in China does she require a second dose in the US? If so, where to go, a family doctor? How much does it cost normally?

The I-551 stamp does not have any date on it, only the date she entered the USA 6/31/2010...and also the handwritten word "IR1".....

Hello all, My wife arrived with IR1 status June 30. Does the Green card automatically show up in the mail or is there something we have to do?

hello my wife just arrived last wednesday with ir1 status! what should we do next for her? greencard? s/s card? how?

I heard that it's a long process to file I-485 (1 to 3yrs) while wife remains in US, is that true? I am re-handling in my I-865 due to missing info and it's very close to July 17 due date for usefulness of K-3 visa.

We are married over 2yrs (almost 4yrs now) and wife got K3. When she arrives in USA, will she get 10yr green card automatically?

My chinese wife got her K3 visa in January and it will expire in July. She might have unfinished business and also wants to wait for IR1 interview.

Yes I am into electronics processing I did optin. Thanks all!!!

Hello all, So do I email the I-864 or mail it to NVC?

Yes, my sister designates our parents as dependents on her tax forms so that is why I put it down. Do I send the infos via email to NVCInquiry@state.gov or snail mail to: National Visa Center Attn. CMR AOS 32 Rochester Avenue Portsmouth, NH 038012909 ?

I decided to turn in two I864 one from me and one from my older sister, the co-sponsor. Mine will be showing 0 income but assets that can be liquidated within one year and that is almost 3 times the required minimum. Will provide proofs of these assets. My sister's will come with W2's and three years of 1040's, showing great income that is way above the poverty line which supports 6 people (herself/husband/daughter/our mother and father/my wife). Wish me luck or what you think?

I spent 8yrs in China that is how I met my wife. When I came back to the US in Oct 2008, I, of course had no job. I updated my knowledge and tried looking for jobs but to no avail in this economy. So I helped out with my brother's business (in his name) and getting paid in cash since Oct 2009. Therefore I have no reportable income. We are in the process of getting into remodeling/home improvement because we have those skills, so it looks like our future will get better and we will form a new company with our names on it. 1. But for now, what's the best route for her? To come here on the K3, or to wait for the IR1? 2. For the IR1, I'd have to file the I864 and also get sponsorship from family members. But is it ok since I have no reportable income for 2008/2009? 3. If she came to the US on K3, does she HAVE to go back to China for the IR1 interview? It just seems stupid to have to!

Hello all, My wife got the K3 visa back in january and now we want for her to wait in china to get the IR1. I believe I need to file the I864 but for 2009 I did not have any reportable income only just helping the family business and getting paid in cash. So i consulted the accountant and found that if I report some income, say $15,000 which is 125% above poverty level, then I'd have to pay about $3,000 in taxes. Is this correct? Now if my wife comes over first and then we file for adjustment, it would cost $1,000. This way would be cheaper than paying taxes yeah or no? Would she have to fly back to Guangzhou for the IR1 interview? If so then I'd need to pay taxes or get my sister and brother involved in filing the i864. But what's the chance going this route given that she already got the k3 visa?

BTW, the visa took 1yr 3mos, and 100% DIY...

hello, my wife got the k3 visa last tuesday. now the question is, what can she do in the usa? she says people in the 001 forum suggests learning haircut/cosmetology? what do u think? she's giving me one week to come up with something...
