US Immigration from Mexico

Hi everyone,

I am a US citizen and I sponsored my now husband for fiance visa and now he got his conditional green card (2 years). I am trying to sponsor my mother right now. can my husband who is now a greencard holder be a cosponsor? or can I add his income to my household income when I file i864?

Wow, color me surprised. I didn't think I'd need help on this and after some research, I do.

Current Documentation Status:

• Filing I-130
• Tax Documentation: 3 most recent years available.
  • 2023: Tax transcript NOT available on IRS website yet
    • Have: Filed 2023 tax return copy, W-2, 1099, and W-7
  • 2022 and 2021: Tax return transcripts available and ready to upload.
• Additional Documents Available:
  • Last 6 months of paystubs
  • Employment verification letter
    

Questions:

1. What's the best way to organize these documents for submission?
2. Should I:
   • Option A: Combine 2023 tax return copy, W-2, and 1099 into one PDF for the main section (highlighted), then add 2021/2022 transcripts to "Additional AOS Supporting Documentation"?
   • Option B: Upload 2023 tax return copy alone in the main section (highlighted), then submit everything else (2023 W-2, 1099, W7, older transcripts, paystubs, and employment verification) separately in the additional supporting documents section?
3. Should I file the "2023 Verification of Non-Filing Letter" despite having submitted the tax return already?

Looking for guidance on the most appropriate way to organize these documents so as to avoid an RFE.

My wife and I have a son who has a CRBA citizenship. He therefore is not on the application nor part of the process aside from being proof of relationship. I only have 1 copy of his CRBA and don't want to give it up to the embassy during the interview. Will a photocopy be sufficient or do I need to request a certified copy, knowing anything she gives them is not going to be returned?

Hi,

After our I-130 was approved two weeks ago, we've initiated the process of submitting documents for DQ. One challenge I'm trying to understand is how to handle income verification, given that my 2023 taxes were filed in September, but the transcript isn't yet available. I believe this might be related to filing a W7 in tandem with my return.


As a result, my most recent tax year is still 2022 in my transcript account, but I've seen online suggestions that it's not advisable to use this year after the April filing deadline. To address this, I'm considering setting my most recent tax year to 2023 and providing the following supporting documents: (1) copy of filed Federal tax return, (2) W-2s, 1099, and any other schedules, (3) paystubs, (4) a notice of extension to file, and (5) an employer income verification letter. The remaining years will be provided via return tax return transcripts once they become available. I was also wondering if it would be wise to include the 2023 'Wage and Income Tax Transcript' with our submission.

Should I say yes for "Have you filed a Federal income tax return for each of the three most recent tax years?" despite it not being in their records or set that to no?

I'd appreciate any insights on our situation. Is it advisable to wait for the 2023 tax transcript, or should we proceed without it? I'm concerned about the potential delay to get DQ'd caused by RFEs :(.

My fiance was denied entry (1 year ban, no required tests) after she failed her medical in Juarez in January. We're approaching the end of that timeline. Needless to say, lessons learned.

I'm having trouble figuring out what is next. We know she needs to retake the medical in Juarez. But beyond that, how do we proceed with the consulate? I know we likely need to re-up on time sensitive info like continued proof of the relationship and her police report.

Do we need to reschedule with the consulate? How do we get her passport to them for the visa assuming all works out?

Many thanks!
