    The expiration date of her visa, is irrelevant. That's simply the last date she can use it to enter the USA. She's allowed to stay for the duration of her status as a student. That's what the D/S hand written on her entry stamp means. Your plan is fine. Carry on.

    You are right there to do it, so sign the form and provide the passport style photo. To be perfectly clear, your wife, the petitioner, should file using the married name. She can complete the change and get new ID and Passport later, in the USA.

    No. Contact NVC and tell the not to schedule the interview until after the date the bar ends. No need to explain why. Just give them and "after date".

    New I-864, yes. Upload contract and pay stubs as supporting documentation for the affidavit of support, not in advance or separately.

    Solution is the same as indicated in the old thread though. Get a Notarial Birth Certificate from the Gong Zheng Chu. It's a booklet with everything you need. Send in or upload every page, including the cover.

    He entered with a work visa to work. While he's here, if you want to get married and adjust status, that's perfectly fine. Be aware though that until about six months after you file, he should not leave the USA. If he does before getting advance parole, he'll be stuck and you'll have to start over with an immigrant visa process. He won't be able to work between the time his work ends and getting the new work authorization. Any "overstay" is simply forgiven. His status changes to "pending adjustment of status" once you file.

    No such thing as a cosponsor. Why would you obligate a joint sponsor when it isn't necessary. It's a big potential liability for them.

    You must disclose tax return information from three years, but that does not mean you must have qualifying income all three years. It is current income that qualifies you. Tax returns are about the past. No matter how much an employed person made last year, if they don't have a job now, their current income is zero, but if they have qualifying income NOW, you state and document that to qualify. Look at a pay stub for a full pay period, then multiply the gross pay times the number of pay periods in a full year. That's the current income for an employed person. If your husband's current income is enough, you DO NOT NEED a "joint sponsor".

    This message is not an RFE. Anybody whose most recent tax return shows less than the qualifying amount, will get it. If "current income" was properly stated and documented, just ignore the message. Did you properly state the current income and document it with a recent pay stub?

    Of course an affidavit of support is required to adjust status based on marriage. You do not qualify for an exemption.
  11. pushbrk
    As has already been posted, you cannot avoid immigrant intent, because you do, in fact, intend to immigrate. You're really asking how you can get away with it without getting caught. Wrong question.
  12. pushbrk
    Even more simple. You know their real names. Just answer the question with the truth. There is no "how it is now". It just "is".

    Your US immigration status and travel plans don't match. You could marry civilly now, and start the process. You would have advance parole in about six months. Or, stay with your initial wedding plans and delay the religious ceremony in India until you at least have advance parole, or better, the green card.

    AGI is not the relevant number, as she will have filed a 1040, not a 1040 EZ. Her "current income" will be the amount shown as "Total Income". Don't be surprised if that number is the same as the AGI, but "total income" is the correct number. If she is not well over the required amount, you might want a joint sponsor. On the other hand, if you are applying for EAD (work authorization) you may well be working by the time of the interview, and can bring a new affidavit showing both incomes.
  15. pushbrk
    When responding to the RFE, add a short cover letter explaining the petitioner IS the sponsor, but changed her name due to marriage. Make sure she checks box 1a indicating the is the petitioner.

    Assuming you provided an email address, your first notice of approval, will be by email. It will be followed by a paper notice by mail. You don't need an "online account" with USCIS to check the status of your case using the case number, but don't expect any updates. It's a black hole.

    Use their full names. You are being asked a simple question about their names. You know the correct answer, so provide it. You will not be required to document it. If a name on a birth certificate was going to be meaningful, it would be you parents' names on YOUR birth certificate. Even if there is a discrepancy there, provide the correct and accurate answer to the questions asked.
  18. pushbrk
    You are right. My bad.
  19. pushbrk
    No need. One current pay stub is enough. The six months thing is an artifact. Modern pay stubs show year to date income anyway. Just bring a more up to date stub to the interview.

    Your wife's affidavit is NOT less important. If her income was below the filing threshold during any of the years, she just checks that box, and hand writes which years, if not all. Your petitioner is always the primary sponsor. The joint sponsor is also needed, but both forms and sets of supporting documents must be correct and sufficient. If your wife is currently employed then you state her current income. Here's the formula. Take the gross income from a full pay period and multiply it by the number of pay periods of that length in a full year. So 1k a week is 52k a year, etc. That's her current income. Tax returns are about the past. No need to state and document liquid assets in this case.

    The email is clear. Your case is on hold, and you should login to CEAC, at least once a year to keep it open. When you are ready proceed, notify them using the same method you used to ask them to hold it.
  22. pushbrk
    No. Your natural child under 18, will simply be "counted" in your household size when you complete your affidavit of support.
  23. pushbrk
    I would follow that exact advice. If you did not include a copy of the NOA2 or the marriage certificate, that could be the cause. Otherwise it is just a mistake the above action will prompt them to correct.
  24. pushbrk
    No worries. That is both common and acceptable.
  25. pushbrk
    Correct. For example my address starts with Red Gate fronting xyz store, purok 2, barangay name, city name, province, country. My street doesn't have a name.
