US Immigration from Mexico

I'm a retired us citizen sponsoring my spouse for a permanent resident visa (IR-1). I am seeking confirmation or advice on how to represent my income/assets on the I-864.

In my initial I-864 submission, I reported my annual adjusted gross income which exceeds the requirements over the past 3 years, but all of my income is from interest, dividends, and capitol gains on my savings. I don't have a salary. The NVC accepted my documents but said "The income reported as stated on form I-864 is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance". They invited me to submit an updated I-864 with other income and assets.

I updated my I-864 to report all my financial assets that bear the interest and dividends on which I support myself. I also included all my real estate (primary residence and two vacation homes). I provided account statements and property valuation/tax records as my supporting evidence. Have I gone about this correctly? Is this how a retired sponsor should complete the I-864?

How does the state department determine the sufficiency of a sponsor's assets when they don't have a salary income? If there is still concern about my affidavit of support, will the contact me and tell me what additional evidence they need before my spouses consular appointment?

I am writing to request an urgent humanitarian expedite for our case.

My father is a 74-year-old Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States currently living with us in Mexico. He is facing serious medical difficulties and his health is declining. He needs the care and quality of life he can only receive in the U.S. Furthermore, he has funds in his Social Security account that we urgently need to access to cover his needs, but we cannot do so unless we cross back to the United States.

Background of the Case: In 2019, we had an interview where residency was denied because my mother required waivers. We attempted to file them, but we were scammed by an attorney and lost all access to the case. Since then, we have been unable to move forward.

Request for Independent Processing (CSPA): Due to my father s urgent medical state and our mother's pending situation, we wish to proceed with our process independently from our mother. My siblings and I were minors when the case was opened and when we attended the consulate. We are requesting protection under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) to travel and care for our father in the U.S.

We are desperate to provide my father with a better life and the medical attention he requires. We look forward to your guidance on how to move this process forward urgently.

I am looking for similar situations. We are in the process of fixing my wife s immigration status, consular processing in Mexico but she has had two encounters at the border. She has accumulated a total of 2 days of unlawful presence. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Were you required to request a waiver or not? We are very nervous since her appointment is approaching.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right topic forum.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Italy this summer in July. She recently submitted her application for US Citizenship in mid October, the approximate waiting time is 4.5 months in Chicago.

If we purchase a plane ticket under her Mexican passport maiden name (Ventura) and she happens to pass her interview, becomes a US citizen (changes her last name to my last name) if for any reason her interview is close to the trip, can she use her Mexican passport and show her US Naturalization Certificate and/or US passport for re-entry to the US? The reason I ask it's because airlines are very strict and don't allow to make name changes on a plane ticket, only dates and passport numbers because of renewals etc but not the name once puch.

This is just a scenario if this plays out like this. Thank you!

My wife has her interview next week. While reviewing and gathering all the documents uploaded with her N400, we noticed that the file for 2024 s federal tax return was actually a duplicate of the state return. I m surprised she didn t get an RFE. She ll bring the federal return to the interview but what s the best way to address it? Is there an appropriate time? Should she expect a delay of the decision?
