June 2018 filers

[UScitizenFilingforspouse]

I paid all those taxes for every year I worked on my L-visum. My employer deducts it similar to employees who are green card holders or citizens. But not sure if I am actually liable to pay this as on a non-immigrant visum, I never challenged my employer on it though :-)

Busted! Visum... German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish?

LOL Dutch... i guess I should say visa?

LOL Dutch... i guess I should say visa?

LOL, I am a naturalized US citizen! You may say Visum all you want. I refuse to pronounce Volkswagen the american way. I can't. It's FOLKSVAAHGEN in German not VOLXWAYGEN. (I am the product of a Deutsche Internationale Schule from pre-K till Gymnasium)

Ach so... 😇
Jetzt ist alles klar!

End of the day, I guess every American is an immigrant except the native population...

Thanks man. Quick question did your wife add you to her health insurance? I heard if my wife should add me they'd count it as public charge.

Public charge for what bro? Well no she ddnt. My new job gives me full medical insurance for myself...with dental and vision...

My pleasure. 10% is low if that includes all taxes including federal and state.
Why would taxes increase after you get a kid? Kids should help with the tax liability ;-)

June 7 EAD filer

@fluphy, I didnt get any response on the 19th of December and called to raise a SR with a Level 2 officer.

Fingers crossed, praying and hopeful.

Has every June 2018 filer received EAD?
Its 202days now o!

I'm also a June 7 2018 C9 EAD filer (206 days) at NBC, and requested SR on Dec. 07 without any response. Very frustrating.

United in prayers,

Muzu

I didn't get a response to SR either but they updated my card status on 12/28 as card is being processed and it was mailed yesterday. So hopefully they are not responding because your card is about to be sent too.

Good luck, I hope you will get it soon as well.

I sent out my I-485 last June, got an RFE last late October and I did send out updated information via express mail early November. So far I haven't heard anything from the USCIS. I called in and they said they received nothing. Should I re-send another package since my due date to respond would be Feb15 2019??? I'm super worried now.

Interview today!

So my interview today was at 1:45pm and we got done at 2pm. I had prepared one folder for all the documents (marriage license, I -20 etc). One folder for evidence of marriage. And 3 photo albums from 2012-2019.

The officer did not open any of my folders.
She asked to see our passports, our marriage license. As she asked my spouse about ?how we met? she asked me to give her copies of proof of marriage. I handed her a copy of our joint bank account, health insurance, lease, utility bills.

She wrote down everything my spouse was saying.
- where and when did we meet?
- what was our wedding like and who was there?
- how long did we date before we got engaged?
- how long were we engaged before we got married?

She then asked me questions in the application itself (have i been denied a visa; have i been charged with anything etc etc)

THEN THE BEST PART
She said our application would have been approved today but my doctor FORGOT to sign my medical exam. Once I mail the exam back she will approve my application!!!
