US Immigration from Nigeria

Please I am just wondering if sponsoring spouse a US citizen for I -130 with crimial records of assult on officer, assult on girlfriend and theft can file for a spouse already in the United States. With the US citizen the petitioner I -130 will be denied based on the past criminal records?

Good afternoon everyone I have a question about forms

Is DS 260 and DS 261 the same form? because when I go to fill out form DS 261 it brings me back to my original form where everything is complete and all the fees are paid.

Also my Husbands form DS260 is due to expire at the end of this month April 30th 2022 How do I update or resubmit this form without starting my case from the beginning? Where on the last step waiting for an interview time and date and I don't want to delay anything.

Another question do you think I should obtain a lawyer at this point of this process? I submitted everything on my own with no problem to the embassy I contacted a lawyer today and she said that she would charge me $3,000 but for the most part everything is done we're just waiting for the interview. She said she would update any forms needed and prep him for the interview, but I think that is way too high considering that I've done most of the work.

We are under review at the USCIS and we are trying to set things in motion so when we get approved, we don't wait too long to jump on to NVC part.

My Question:

1. Since we are planning to file jointly, does the Beneficiary have to be issued an ITIN before we can proceed with NVC (the affidavit of support part which involves Tax returns? Our approval estimate time is May, 2022 and we plan that my wife takes a trip down here in May, so she can visit and for me to sign the forms. Does it mean we have to wait till the joint filling is approved before we can present the Tax refund as "support affidavit" evidence? We are told it takes an average of 7-11 weeks to get an ITIN number. Why we aren't using the post to send from here to the States is because there have been issues of passport loss, damage etc.

Please, special contributions from individuals who have filed jointly for their spouse(s) from a third country, mostly Africa and the walk-through will be highly appreciated. Thanks
