  1. Yes, but scan email and print is OK. No actual need for the original signature anymore. The pay stub or employer letter as evidence of current income should be updated too. Just a more current pay stub will do for that. It shows the sponsor is still employed.
  2. Exactly. Happens all the time. Your hypothetical about mentioning both adjusting status and consular processing is a different matter. Unless you actually did that, it's irrelevant.
  3. No. You should reply indicating the Netherlands address and that you will seek an immigrant visa through Amsterdam. Then USCIS will send the case to the National Visa Center. Once you hear from NVC, use the current address going forward.
  4. Your in-laws can go to mysocialsecurity.gov and download their most recent declarations of income. That's the evidence they need. A 1099 form is about last year. They just got a 5.9% increase for this year.
  5. If that means you have three dependent children, 5 is correct. If you are counting other people who live in the house that are NOT....YOUR..."dependents" then may not 5. If they ARE your children, do you receive court ordered child support? It can be added to your employment income to qualify.
  6. Just use the new address going forward. An earlier poster was incorrect. Your case moves forward through the Dept. of State, not USCIS. Once the visa is issued and used, the file will go back to USCIS with the new address and the address in the USA where they are to send the green card. I'm more concerned about the source of confusion about adjusting status or consular processing. If USCIS is saying they don't know which, then the gave you a way to tell them, and they won't send the case to the National Visa Center until they get an answer. You said your I-130 was "accepted". Do you mean "approved" or is this a request for information from them prior to approval? Please clarify, so proper advice can be given.
  7. The I-864 is a daunting contract with real obligations. I, and most people, would not consider signing that contract unless they were VERY sure you and your husband can and will support yourselves. Most people don't look for joint sponsors. They qualify on their own to sponsor. Maybe first look at how you might make adjustments to qualify on your own. Ultimately, you may not qualify OR find a joint sponsor. This is a serious matter hindsight will tell you should have been considered prior to the marriage.
  8. Do both. Delay the spouse interview and TRY to expedite her case. Not likely to happen but trying won't hurt anything.
  9. First clarify whether you are in the USA now.
  10. In the USA, any two humans of legal age and legally and lawfully married, have the same immigration options.
  11. The USA may well be the only country where foreign brides or grooms do not need some kind of certificate from their country. This is because in the USA, States control marriage procedures. No national certificate is available and no State can certify a person isn't also married in another state.
  12. Correct for marriages outside the US. If not in country of marriage, it's the Consulate assigned to the country of marriage. Moot as K3 visas have been virtually obsolete for a dozen years.
  13. So, the message says "one of the...." and you have three. Good to go. Simple as that.
  14. Which of the items on the above list are available? Most usually available would be a utility bill or driver license with US address. This is not rocket science.
  15. This is the correct answer. However, whether it is "worth it" or not depends on personal priorities.
  16. Along with updated evidence of current income. Tax returns are about the past. Include a recent pay stub to show current employment income.
  17. Fist point is correct. Second point is not necessarily correct. K3 visa interviews MUST occur in the country where the marriage took place. ALL visa interviews for US visas happen outside the USA. Don't expect ANY K3 visa interview though. Rare as hen's teeth. If you file the petition to initiate a K3 visa process, it's possible your I-130 for spouse will be approved faster and I've seen no evidence it will do any harm.
  18. It's just another hassle. Decide based on your own priorities.
  19. False, misleading, and lacks a source. Immigrant visas are single use visas. What.....IS....true is that the visa COMBINED WITH the entry stamp (not the visa alone) next to it CAN be used for multiple entries BECAUSE the combination substitutes for the green card for NOT UNTIL ITS EXPIRATION, but for one year from the first entry.
  20. If she's already living in the USA, there is no need for petitioner domicile evidence, not even the driver license was needed. If she is NOT living the US, then tell us how long she's been gone, whether she has a job etc.
  21. Two issues. Travel requirements to the countries you have in mind. No visas needed, but COVID restrictions and travel requirements are not "over". Second, is that the immigrant spouse cannot enter the USA before the petitioner. At the same time is OK. Otherwise, travel as travel requirements permit.
  22. Your interview letter will be by email. You can just use the new address for delivery of the visa package.
