Some quick questions

[s13guy89 0]

Hello everyone. I am having trouble navigating this forum, or rather searching for specific information. I'm sure these questions have been answered before, so if you an just point me in the right direction it will be much appreciated.

I am a USC living with my wife in Ukraine. Is this going to be a problem since I am about to file the I-130? Do I put down my Ukrainian address down on the I-130 or my US address?

Do I NEED to file for a K-3 Visa for her once the I-130 is recieved, or, since we are not in a hurry, can I just not do that?

Thank you in advance.

You might want to read the guide first. That would really help you as they're quite specific and full of information.

Yes, you can put your Ukrainian address. Note, that to provide the financial support aspect of your I-130 for the visa application, you need to be able to show US domicile with a US job and/or savings/assets. If you don't have an income that will be on going in the US and domicile there, you're going to need a joint sponsor.

You likely won't need to do the K3. They tend to be approved no faster than the I-130/CR/IR-1.

I assume the Ukraine does not offer DCF?

Thank you for your speedy reply. What would be considered US assets? I am collecting disability from the Army, so that is my sole source of income. Also, what does DCF stand for? I'm sorry, but I am seeing many of the abbreviations for the first time in my life.

Disability from the US army would be a US income. You should take a look at this link to understand more about the financial sponsorship and what domicile would be: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3183.html

DCF stands for Direct Consular Filing: http://www.visajourney.com/content/dcf It's not available in many places anymore.

This is very helpful, thank you. Direct Consular Filing would not work for me becuase I am residing in Ukraine thanks to a grey area lack of laws regarding dual citizenships
