  1. Yes, at least the same scrutiny you are seeing here, which is a few minutes to get the answer to the necessary questions, checking dates of previous marriage, immigration, and divorce in addition to the normal.
  2. Correct that the case will get extra scrutiny. How much, or whether they would call the US Citizen for an interview at a local USCIS office is unpredictable. It could be an extra minute of the adjudicator's time or more. It would depend on the timing of all events. They will notice anything that causes them to suspect the first marriage was immigration fraud. (Entered into for the sole purpose of obtaining an immigration benefit for the foreigner, instead of a bona fide marrital relationship.
  3. It's possible but usually not necessary. You say you provide divorce decree for that spouse. Did you provide for all previous marriage terminations.
  4. Yes, but since the required documents are not available, you might end up being denied and have to file again. They will likely send an RFE. If they do, and you already have the required documents from the Gong Zheng Chu, they will proceed. Otherwise, your petition will be denied, and you'll need to start over.
  5. I'm not sure I completely understand your explanation of the mistakes you made, but anything you know is incorrect on the petition can be corrected. Yes, you can send corrected pages as explanation, but instead, I would recommend simply submitting the correct information about the addresses, without using the petition directly. Just send the corrections based on your now correct understanding of the questions asked.
  6. Correction. Total income below the minimium on most recent tax return triggers this message.
  7. This is a message anybody whose "total income" on their most recent tax return will get. However, if your income from your current "employment" is clearly sufficient, simply ignore this note. Keywords are "Consular Officer will decide..." Further advice depends on the details of your income, I mentioned but you did not provide.
  8. Yes, your current income is 36k a year. It comes from the offer letter and pay stub, not a tax return. With clearly qualified current and past income, NVC should have no problem. I meant "in case" the Consular Officer requires it.
  9. All previous marriages and divorces must be documented. "I didn't know" is the truth, but in reality, you didn't know because you weren't told. Maybe you didn't ask the right question. Maybe this information was concealed from you purposefully. WHY you didn't know needs to be part of your explanation, and certainly part of her explanation at interview.
  10. Your income is marginal but above the minimum for a household of two unless you live in Hawaii or Alaska. Having a joint sponsor arranged and available, if necessary would be a good idea, just in case.
  11. It's blurry but seems like a little different message than we most commonly see. Can't really provide advice without details of your income.
  12. The "My progress" is not "random" but it IS "meaningless and unreliable".
  13. Apply your own priorities in making this decision. My additional advice is for neither of you to rely on what you've heard. Get the facts. When it comes to what she has heard, make sure she has your opinion on the same matters, and do it in a way she trusts what you say more than some random things she heard from who knows whom.
  14. Correct. It would have been ok to mention this at the POE, but since you didn't, you do as stated above.
  15. Then your "current income" is exactly the number showing as "Total Income" on your latest 1040. That's how it works for a self employed person. You do not state your "revenue" or expected revenue. For the self employed, (in the context of the I-864 to sponsor an immigrant) it is not "income" until it shows on the total income line of your latest 1040. Employed people can project their income based on the next twelve months of employment. The self employed cannot. Based on what you are saying, you'll need a qualified joint sponsor.
