    Adoptions are public records. Request from the government entity that owns the record. Obtaining public records from the government owner is a standard part of the process.

    Note it is the foreign spouse asking these questions. She will not be filing any petitions. The US Citizen does that. She will be providing information. Who types it into the forms is irrelevant. Only AFTER the I-130s are approved, will the foreign spouse and stepchildren apply for visas.

    Those instructions do not have age or time qualifiers.

    You are self employed. Your stated "current income" is the number on the total income line of your 2022 federal tax return. Your self employment evidence is fine to include, but it is revenue, not income, until it shows on a tax return.

    Yes, or be more specific than construction worker.

    I don't know. You would not "add". You would replace. You cannot have two joint sponsors.

    The answers above are correct. Get permission from the other parent for them to immigrate and file petitions for them. If you want them to come at the same time, you can simply stall your spouse case at NVC. Lots of information here about how to do that, but start by doing nothing with NVC for now.

    You are a self employed construction worker. Best to indicate whether carpenter, plumber, electrician, etc. Be specific. Address is your home address, unless you have a separate business address.

    And she told you why. You also have a good idea from the questions you were asked, what the problem was. Unless you have a criminal record or actually lied in your application, it's probably because they didn't believe your relationship was bona fide. Best evidence of a bona fide (genuine) relationship is the time you spend together in person.

    When USCIS receives a K1 petition back from a Consulate, they say nothing useful. They just say their approval of the petition has expired (Approvals expire after 4 months unless the Consulate extends them.) and the petitioner is free to file again. With a previous denial for lack of bona fides, you'll need to spend a lot of time with the new woman in person, and NOT marry on the first visit.

    To be clear, if paid every two weeks, gross times 26. Twice a month, gross times 24. Times 52 only works for those paid weekly.

    You are a US Citizen who is not applying for anything at all. You'll be filing a petition in your spouse's behalf. When that petition is approved, it will be your wife applying for a visa. She will apply "from" where she is currently residing at that time. (Maybe 18 months from now) Where will she be living then?

    You received a stock message that is always sent when the latest federal tax return does not show enough on the "total income" line. If your current income is clearly sufficient, just ignore the message. Note the keyword "may" and the phrase "Consular Officer will decide". This is NOT a request for a joint sponsor. It's a suggestion. Whether you should heed it or not depends on information about your income that you have not disclosed here.

    You are correct, but as a self employed person, your "current income" (today) comes from the total income line of your 2022 tax return. Self employment income is not "income" until it appears on that line of a US Federal tax return. This is because, until then, it is only "revenue". Income is revenue minus the expenses you claim on your federal tax return. The the 60k number come from the "total income" line of your 2022 tax return, or just from the 1099?

    Correct. Upload current ones now and make sure she has more current ones to take to the interview.
