If you are over 125% in either case, just use your adjusted gross income from the previous year's tax return. Makes it simpler.

My advice was more aimed at the fact that they are planning to do a DNA test anyway. Given that, might as well go through Embassy protocols so that the results can be counted in the CRBA. The Consular officer decides whether they believe filiation exists or not. They may recommend DNA if they are not convinced and doubt that additional documentary evidence would sway them (such as the parents being in different countries based on probable time of conception). The decision to take the test is voluntary in the sense that you don't have to do it. Those who don't take the test are unlikely to receive CRBA's though.
I may not be a Gold member, but I do know what I am talking about. Your two friends experiences do not invalidate anything I said.

Since you've already used the visa, it is not a big deal. Don't try to alter it any further. Just submit an explanation.

Send an email to the Embassy. They do not circle file them as mentioned above. They take these letters seriously. Many of them are baseless, but some are not. It will only take a minute to send an email to the Embassy. They may or may not act on it, but at least you made an effort.
My .2 cents, send an email with the details to the Embassy and then wash your hands of the situation.

The military is not an airline and does not fly U.S. citizens around unless you are current or former military. The U.S. Embassy can give you loan to get back to the US. You will need to demonstrate that you are destitute and that friends/family in the US cannot/will not give you funds. Once that is done, it takes about a week and you'll be on your way. Your passport will be canceled and you will need to repay the loan. A new passport will not be issued until the loan is repaid.
Talk to the American Citizen Services section of the closest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

If the employee is a caregiver then she could be petitioned for an EW visa (unskilled health care worker). Once petitioned, it will take a few years for the priority date to become current. So, it is not impossible to get a visa for her but it will be expensive and it will take years.
Sounds like it would just be easier to hire someone once you get to the US. You'll have to do that in the mean time while the petition is pending anyway.
Good luck. Maybe your attorney will have a better option, but I doubt it.

You will also need to include an explanation letter for not filing taxes and you will need to cite the legal basis for not filing, ie "according to IRS rule Y, people who make X are not required to file tax returns".

Your best bet for getting your husband a visa is to demonstrate that he will be coming back. The best way to do that in a situation where a Filipino is married to an American is to show that the U.S. citizen part of the couple is permanently based in the Philippines (ACR cards are good for that).
R visas require a petition and the type of activities you must be doing are very specific. visiting family and friends and doing fund raising by speaking to various church groups would be a tough sell.
Another hurdle religious folks tend to have is financial because they don't make very much money. There's not much that can be done about that.
Good luck with your interview.

No CO in the Philippines is going to find a nursing major at a community college in the US credible because for the same cost you could send your sister to some of the nicest schools in the Philippines and get a much better education. This whole plans just screams immigrant intent.
That said, it never hurts to apply. She might get lucky and get the incompetent CO that day.

Au Pairs work on J1 visas not tourist visas. They are still subject to the "intending immigrant" requirement though. So a recent tourist visa refusal would be a negative.

If you get an NBI showing NO CRIMINAL RECORD, then the Embassy will learn about the case because they WILL ask for an NBI written explanation. Estafa probably qualifies as a Crime Involving Moral Turpitude which would make you ineligible for a visa if convicted (not sure if a waiver is available based on your marriage to USCit). If the case was dismissed, then this would not be a problem for you. In a pending case which qualifies as a Crime Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT), they will 221g it until the court case is resolved.
You will need to resolve this case before proceeding with the visa, most likely. Good luck and get a good attorney that you can supervise. There are way too many PHL attorneys who take money and do nothing.
