  1. Yes perfectly OK. The combination of the ONE marriage certificate to YOU and the I-130 being filed with her family name same as yours is all the name change documentation you need at this stage. If she can have a new passport in the married name anytime within a year, this becomes not only a non-issue, but a common procedure. The other reply was talking about the trouble and expense after US Entry, not at the interview.
  2. It's for passive income, or contractor income. Interest, capital gains, etc. Giving the actual wording of your NVC messages minus the personal information will help us give better answers.
  3. Probably not three whole months but end of queue, yes. The long form birth certificate is a British thing, in that it applies to UK, Canada, Austrailia etc. as well as some US States that also will issue both short and long form Certificates. The difference is the long form has the parents' names.
  4. Correct, but beneficiary biometrics are taken on the interview day.
  5. Somebody here might know, but it would be good to ask CBP when you enter. Don't use Global entry to enter with your spouse visa though.
  6. Go here https://www.uscis.gov/i-864 and click on instructions for... It's the same place you downloaded the form itself. You needed to download and become an A-Student of the instructions as well.
  7. What do you mean by "a while". If her name on her passport can be changed say within 18 months or so, then it will be ready for the interview, and you can file NOW with the name she intends to use. We know what you mean by "last name" but the term "Surname" is what you'll find in the passport.
  8. Her visa must be issued in the name matching that of the passport, so file with that name too. Did you get together in person with your wife during or after the proxy marriage? If not, you must before you file the I-130.
  9. Absolutely. Sometimes when people do this, a conditional status gets printed on their card. It's easy to correct.
  10. Then you probably don't need a joint sponsor, but you may well need to file some tax returns.
  11. This is an example of why it is so important for you to deal with this in first person, AND to have an accurate timeline. Your timeline says Texas Service Center and then nothing else except Guangzhou. When did you start the new job? No requirement for the petitioner to remain abroad in a DCF case.
  12. "Everything" means everything noted in the actual I-864 instructions. Petitioner does not submit "everything" the joint sponsor needs to submit. This is why paying close attention to the actual I-864 instructions is so critical. I mean the actual I-864 instructions. I don't know what the above is or how you got it, but there are ACTUAL instructions to study and follow.
  13. What do the instructions say your wife should provide? There is no substitute for close attention to instructions.
  14. I don't see any evidence of current income. Tax returns are about the past. A copy of a recent pay stub would be evidence of current income. I also don't see any evidence of the joint sponsor's US Citizenship or actual residence in the USA. Stop asking if it's enough and follow the instructions.
  15. He needs only information from 3 tax returns or a viable explanation for why he was not required to file for those years. If he WAS required to file, then he needs to file. If he didn't file because his worldwide income was below the filing threshold, then that's his reason. If not, he needs to file. You as a joint sponsor do not change that requirement. Chances are that unless his wife is coming from India, he doesn't need a joint sponsor, once he's working at the new US Job. Why isn't HE here asking these questions?
  16. Huh? I warning not to get the medical exam too early. The medical can expire before the interview, making it useless.
  17. While this is correct, it is also worth noting that when the visa is issued, the expiration date will be six months from the date of the medical exam. If that date precedes the interview, a new medical exam will be needed before issue.
  18. Thanks for the reference. It's for what USCIS will do. It is not what actually happens when a valid Advance Parole document is presented upon entry. USCIS may or may not know when or if the applicant left the USA at all. In actual practice, what almost always happens is what I said would happen, if departure is after biometrics and return is with a valid Advance Parole card.
  19. 2. Depends on whether the employer will hire remote workers. They do NOT have to have a presence in each country from which they hire remote workers.
  20. In practice, she could re-enter once AP is approved, but it will not be approved if she leaves before biometrics. I know of one case where a politician got the woman back in, even though she left before biometrics. Either way, before or after biometrics is an important detail we don't know about yet. AND..I'd like to see the source to go with your assertions, as your assertions don't match my real life experience. Sometimes these are just misinterpretations.
  21. Has she done the biometrics for the AP and EAD yet? If she has, she will only have to stay out of the USA until the AP is complete and you send it to her. Or, you can request it sent to a Consulate near her. No biometrics yet. Different story.
  22. Yes, I think the OP needs to focus on the Remote Job Market. Depending on their skills and demand for them, many US Companies will hire foreign nationals to work remotely either long term or until they are able to immigrate. One could also work at a foreign branch of a US Company with the promise of a US job once they immigrate. Looking for US jobs IN the USA is not one of his options.
  23. Remote jobs don't require visas. I mentioned working remotely.
