1. Ideally, the I-134 should be filled out for you by someone based in the US.
2. Regardless of who does your tax filing, you can contact the IRS directly to request an IRS tax transcript.

Ho well, since my I-134 should be filled out for me by someone based in the US, but I don’t have my families members living here, can I just fill it out by myself according to the money I receive from my on campus jobs and money that I have in my bank account ?

Alright, I will contact the IRS, thank you.

Technically speaking, you do not need to fill out an I-134 by yourself in support of yourself, you however can fill it out if you like. The I-134 when used is support of an immigrant application is meant to be provided by a sponsor to demonstrate the person being sponsored is not likely to become a public charge. A person applying for a NIV like B1/B2 may fill out the I-134 themselves in support of their NIV application since such visitor visa applications are self sponsored.

Alright ! Then should I find someone (even a non family member) that can sponsored me and fill out the form I-134 for me ?
 
Hi, Last week, I filled DS-260 form (DV2023). My L2 visa and my husband L1 visa extensions are still pending approval with USCICS. Can filling DS260 create negative impact on my L2 and my husband L1 extensions ?

No. L visas are dual intent so there is no problem with expressing immigrant intent.
 
Hello, my fiance got selected for dv2023 and we will get married in June. She will be getting a tourist visa next march and we plan to go to US to visit some family and for honeymoon after our wedding(which is in february) I already have a tourist visa and traveled a few times and we both also lived in the US back in highschool for a year. My question is if we were to buy round trip tickets, rented a house in our home country etc. (also i am an intern doctor and need to finish interning to get my medical diploma so that is also a reason ti return to my home country) but then applied for AOS after a few weeks into our vacation, would that be ok? We plan to use the tourist visas for tourism but we also would like to AOS since we dont think our post can manage all the interviews till our CN which is EU34600. In the spreadsheet it says declare your intention to aos to the cbp but wouldnt that guarantee a denial at poa? Aos is our only way to make this happen and we also dont have much financial savings to be able to survive thru this process after leaving our jobs in our country since aos is more expensive than cp we are so confused on what to do. So how would it go if we applied for aos with B1/2 during our honeymoon under these term?

No, it’s not ok to plan to use tourist visa for AOS. If you are truthful about your intent at your POE, you will be - rightly - denied entry. Additionally, if your spouse-to-be is honest about her intent she will be denied a tourist visa.
of course you do not want to be deliberately dishonest on official US immigration forms or to a CBP officer. (This dishonesty includes omission of important facts, as well as things like renting a house to pretend to have to ties.) That’s called willful misrepresentation and can lead to a ban from the US.

(Separately, i‘m also amazed at your ability to know what the capacity of your consulate will be in a years time or longer…)
 
Hi there, I have got selected for dv23, my CN is EU28800.I have F1 student status. I would like to do AoS. This year in June,2022 all CN for EU are current.
1) If next year CN for EU would be current in June too, is it enough time for AoS?
2) If visas would be finished or my number would be too high for next year and I will sent DS 260 and I 485, so what will happen with my student status, would I be able do OPT in one year after, for example ? Or open work visa H1?
3) Is it clever to change to TPS status before AOS ?
Thank you!

1. Most likely, yes.
2. Nothing happens to your student status as long as you continue to maintain it while your AOS application is pending. If the AOS application is not approved by the end of the FY, you’ll basically continue with whatever valid status you had while your AOS application was pending. So yes, you will still be eligible to file for OPT in that case.
3. I don’t know about if switching to TPS is “clever” or not. The focus of this forum is to safely guide selectees through the DV process. The onus is on you to figure out which status you’re eligible for or should be in, know the pros and cons of each one and decide for your self.

Thank you so much!
I apologize for my question about TPS, my university sent me email where recommends that I take this status as a full scale war has started in my country. I was left alone without the support of my parents, so I asked for the advice. Thank you !
I also have a question, invitation for biometrics and an interview goes through mail, my number will be current in the summer 2023, I would like to get an internship and I don’t know my summer 2023 address. I'm afraid of delays due to address changes.
1) Is it possible to get an interview and biometrics via email or by call, sms, do I need a special form to be filled out?
2) If not, then do I need to find friends who can provide a mailing address for the summer of 2023?
3) What is your recommendation?

Thanks for the additional information regarding your TPS question, unfortunately it is still not a situation I provide guidance on in this forum.
1. Bio and interview notices are sent by mail. Occasionally the IO may call an applicant (which may be followed up by an email confirmation) to come in for an expedited interview. This is done at the discretion of the IO, it is not something you can initiate, request, or apply for. And when this happens, it may be because of a sudden open slot (maybe a previously scheduled appointment for someone else got canceled), or due to the FY coming to an end, etc.
2&3. Your notices will get sent to whatever mailing address you’ve listed on your I-485, not just an address for the summer period. You can list a friend’s address (in care of) in the mailing address section in that case, your acceptance NOA, bio notice, and IL will all get sent to that address in that case.
 
Do AOS cases approved receive an immigrant visa like CP cases or just receive their green cards in the mail ?
