Hi, I am wondering if anyone here has remarried (filed an I-130 a second time) and if that process differed from the first time around.

I'm divorced from my first husband and I attached our divorce decree to our application. He went back to his home country shortly before we divorced.

From this link, it states the petitioner requires an interview in that scenario:

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-b-chapter-5

"When USCIS Requires an Interview for Standalone Family-Based Immigrant Visa Petitions"
Petitions for a spouse where the petitioner previously filed a spousal petition for a different beneficiary.

Has anyone gone through this before?

I received this message: the income reported as stated on form i 864 is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance but then I also got another message that I have been documentarily qualified. My spouse is the one filing for me and she makes more than the 125% HHS.
should I be worried about this coming up in the interview?

Hello, So I have few questions and I would like to hear from people who been visiting their partners in USA for longer times.

So this year I visited for one month from Europe. I travelled with my fiance, and at the border they only asked how long I am staying (about 30 days) and how long we've know each other.

Next time I would like to stay longer, about 70-80 days , under Esta limit (90 days). But i'm worried, if I am unemployed at that time, how risky it is and do I have big chance to get denied? Of corse I have no intentions to work in USA, just to spend time with my fiance.

Also, what I understand if staying longer, you need to have show funds you can support youself, is this true? Is there a rule how much money I should have, considering i am staying at my fiances place? like would 30-50 usd a day be enough?

Thank all for your answers!

Hi, trying to figure out if a wet signature is required for stuff like physical custody documents if it is a letter for instance from a medical provider, school, etc.?

i.e. does the person who wrote that letter for you have to provide a wet signature?
