So you are now living apart? In your previous thread you refused to, even though there is no other way for the USC to establish domicile. Or did you find a joint sponsor? 

 

You will both need medicals. Do you have permission from your son’s father to remove him from the country? 

No we live together. My husbands sister will do joint if needed. My husband still has a adress in the us as well as a vote card/driving license . Yes i submitted something from my childs father. And i know about the medical stuff. But we have to wait for the interview date because the medical is only valid for 6 months

It will be needed. Has she completed the form I-864 and obtained copies of her IRS returns?

No, she‘ll only do if if they say at the consulate that there is no other way. But ya.. i‘m sure it will be needed.

It said on the paperwork to send the original birth certificate and other stuff.. i don‘t think i can bring it again when they already have the originals? Is that normal?

No that is not what the instructions say.   You take originals to the interview.

You already know it will be needed.  Not taking it (with tax transcripts) will just delay your visas.

I think you are correct. I'm not sure how this consulate treats "no income" cases.

Well she is not thrilled to do it. That‘s why she wants to wait for what they say

I just downloaded the I-130 instructions for you and I cannot find where it says that an original birth certificate must be submitted. Only copy of your birth certificate. I hope you can get another original copy from your home city because you won't see yours back. 

 

Since you are in Frankfurt, I know for a fact that Germany offers international birth certificates. You could get one of these as well because you might need it in the future. They cost only 10 €.

The I-130 is the petition we did that a long time ago.. i had to submit the original just a little while ago for a different form

Get extra copies of the birth certificates.  You will need them later.  This is one of the longest DCF cases I have seen.  Good luck with the interview.

My thoughts also. I think what we see here is the result of poor planning and lack of preparation. Had the OP spent a few hours reading through everything and a few days gathering required documents, etc, it would have saved a lot of time. But that’s water under the bridge now and can only serve as a reminder to people just starting out on the journey how important preparation is for this ordeal. 

 

OP, if you plan to take citizenship later down the line you will need your birth certificate for that. Order a few copies now and you’re covered for future needs. 

 

I’m intrigued as to where on the I-130 instructions it asks for originals. Since you are a DCF case you didn’t go through the NVC but for those that do you also do not send originals there either. Have you sent them to the embassy in preparation for the interview? Is that what you mean? It’s difficult to follow as you don’t seem to have a full understanding of the process or terminology so it’s getting confusing,

I would provide every single civil document and financial document you have available, originals, and copies, from you, your spouse, and concerning your relationship.

Concerning my relationship? What does that mean? We‘ve been living together since 6 years and got married 4 years ago.. we already submitted our adress history

Then be prepared for a 221g denial, because without the joint sponsor documents at the interview, they will not approve your visa.
