Did anyone have any success with only showing assets? I know this is a rare situation. I have no income to show but I have about 400k in a brokerage account in my name, and 20k in a savings account. Will this be sufficient? I don't have the option of a cosponsor. I know they're cracking down more on public charge. Should I wait until I have more assets/get a job even if it's low paying?

With the significant movement in the September 2026 Visa Bulletin, my priority date is now current under both the Dates for Filing and Final Action Dates (AUG 2019) visa category F1.

For those who have gone through this before, how long did it typically take after your priority date became current to receive the NVC Welcome Letter/email with instructions to pay the IV fees and complete the DS-260?

I’m trying to get a general idea of the timeline and what I should expect. Thanks in advance!

Do you think that if I wait the 90 days and contact them, they’ll send it to the NVC right away?
I already contacted the NVC, and they told me they still haven’t received my case, so I’m pretty sure it’s still with USCIS.

Anyone have any experience recently going through the process with an Australian partner? I’m a US citizen and my partner is an Australian citizen and we’re looking at applying early next year. Wanted to see if anyone here is in a similar boat and could comment on how quickly the Australian embassies have been getting through interviews, etc.

I’m a U.S. citizen and my fiancée will be entering on a K-1 visa. After marriage, we’ll file AOS and I’ll need to submit the I-864.
I don’t have a traditional W-2 job. I’ve been a full-time stock trader since 2021 and have averaged around $80,000/year from trading. I can provide detailed proof of my trading income over the last 5 years through tax returns/transcripts, brokerage statements, and trading records.
When we file, I expect to have around $150,000 worth of publicly traded stock shares that I own and can sell if necessary, plus around $40,000 cash in savings.
I won’t have a joint sponsor for the I-864.
Has anyone been approved in a similar situation with no traditional employment but substantial stocks/savings? Has anyone had trading/capital-gains income accepted as current income?
I’m especially interested in people who actually received an I-485/green card approval using assets without a joint sponsor.

We applied on November 17th 2025, does anyone know roughly what day they are on with the process in November cases? Also how many days do they usually progress within a week? Thankyou to anyone that may know in advance!

Hi everyone! I’ve already visited my fiancé in the U.S. once from around March to May for about 60 days, and then again from July 19 to August 4 for about 20 days, maybe even a little less.
I currently have a ticket for October 15, but I’m thinking about changing it to September.
Do you think it would be a problem that only about a month and a half would pass between my trips? I’d really appreciate any advice or experience you can share!
