US Immigration from Bangladesh

Hi everyone,

I'm putting together my I-864 for my wife's spousal AOS and could really use some advice so I don't mess anything up.

Quick background: I have two W-2 jobs from 2025.

• Job 1 (my main full-time engineering job) pays about $119k now. I have an employment verification letter with the exact salary, and it says the income is likely to continue, plus 6 months of pay stubs.
• Job 2 (part-time job) I have the 2025 W-2 and 6 months of pay stubs, but no verification letter from that employer.
  

My 2025 IRS transcript shows the combined total from both jobs (~$137k). I'm planning to include the 2025, 2024, and 2023 transcripts too.

I plan to rely only on Job 1 for the I-864 since it's already above the poverty line.

Questions:

1. In Part 6, should I just list Job 1 as my employer and put $119k as my current annual income, or do I have to include both jobs and the higher combined number?
2. Do I need to submit both W-2s (even though I'm only using Job 1 for qualification)?
3. Is it okay to attach pay stubs and the employment verification letter only for Job 1, and skip anything extra for Job 2?
4. Will USCIS freak out that the tax transcript shows ~$137k, but I'm only claiming $119k as current income?

Anyone who's been in a similar spot with multiple jobs (one solid with a letter, one without) I'd really appreciate your input!

1 Additional question: Should I put 'not applicable' or (N/A) in all the blank spaces where I don't need to provide any information (see attached)?

I have a question about a name formatting issue on my wife s immigration forms.

My wife is from Bangladesh. In her Bangladeshi passport, her name appears as:

Surname (Family Name): P
Given Name: A B

So her full legal name is A B P

However, P was originally intended to be just a nickname, but it ended up being included in her official documents by mistake. As a result, all of her academic certificates (high school through university) show her name as A B P.

When I filed the I-130, I entered her name as:

• First Name: A

• Last Name: B P

• Middle Name: (blank)

My intention at the time was to treat "B" as her surname and keep the full name consistent with her academic records. I was also thinking that once she immigrated to the U.S., we might simplify her name on future documents.

Now I am preparing the I-864 and DS-260, and I realized that the I-130 name format does not exactly match the passport structure.

My questions are:

1. Should I keep the same name format used in the I-130 for consistency?

2. Or should I match the passport format exactly on the new forms (Last Name: Pew, First Name: Anamika, Middle Name: Basak or First Name: Anamika Basak)?

3. Is this type of difference likely to cause an RFE or delay?

Any advice from people who have dealt with similar South Asian naming issues would be greatly appreciated.

I have lived in Malaysia from 2017-2018. I have submitted my malaysian police clearance to nvc and they accepted on 2023 and I became DQed. Do I need to issue another Malaysian police clearance during my interview? I haven't been to Malaysia since then. I have heard police clearance is only valid for 2 years.

I have recently got my B1/B2 visa renewed. I am awaiting for my EB2 NIW consular visa interview. In the mean time I have an academic conference to attend. Will there be any problem if I travel to the US for short term visit?

Hi all,

I was hoping to get some advice on a situation. I m a green card holder and filed for my wife s green card under the F2A category back in 2022. She recently received her interview appointment at the Montreal Consulate for the end of October. In the meantime, we ve just welcomed our first child.

Does anyone know how I can add my newborn as a derivative beneficiary to the case? Also, if you have experience with this, could you share the correct email addresses or contacts at the NVC/Consulate where I should send the request?

Many thanks for anyone that might have some insight on this.
