US Immigration from Japan

Hello. I am sponsoring my wife for a visa and am working on gathering the materials and evidence for the I-864. I am currently unemployed and will use my assets (which are well over 3x the poverty level) as well as my dad as a joint sponsor.

I have two children in the household with U.S. citizenship who are both under 18 and who have fairly sizeable U.S. bank accounts of which I am their custodian.

I considered filling out I-864A forms for them, but unfortunately it only applies to children over 18.

Would it be possible to include the kid's bank accounts as part of my my assets or are they both basically out of the picture until they turn 18?

If anybody out there has tried anything similar I'd appreciate hearing your experiences.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I m back after almost two years!

I had posted before when I working on the K1 Visa for my husband.

But because of the length of the time we were expected to wait besides what we had already waited, we decided to reconsider living in his home country and send a letter to USCIS to withdraw our pending application.

But currently my dad is undergoing cancer treatment and would like to move back to the states as soon as possible (if possible December 2024).

Does anyone have experience with applying for their spouse s visa from a tourist visa (B2) by doing an adjustment of status?

Would having previously applied for different visa (K1) affect any future applications?

Would really appreciate any insightful information and feedback! Thank you!

Please let me know if you know this as i cannot find the correct answers...

Is it okay for me to renew my passport while i-130 is still pending?

I changed my surname from my maiden to my husband's name. And the new passport will have the new name.

Not sure if this is the right section but I was wondering about the impact of the elections. Nov 5th is right in the window of possible entry and was wondering if planning to enter before or after would have any impact.

I know there are no right answers and nobody can know but just asking for opinions from knowledgeable folks who've seen many election cycles.

Hello,

At the time of i864 submission we submitted the petitioner (temporarily abroad, no US income but some savings) and a joint sponsor and got DQ. Now as interview approaches, the petitioner has a job in the US and sufficient income.

Should we delete the joint sponsor and informthe interviewer?

Should we add additional docs like the contract and pay stubs (only 1 available so far) to the ceac portal? I'm worried it will affect the DQ and restart the clock..
