    Worst case is RFE, but instructions say to submit both sides of the Birth Certificate. This one is not blank on the back, so it should have been submitted. That seal, is part of how USCIS can tell if it's authentic.
  2. pushbrk
    Then it should have been included. You might be OK without it but rest assured, USCIS adjudicators know what they need to see in a Birth Certificate from each State.

    I would have to see all the facts associated with your examples in order to comment directly. I would say, "Try, if you want, but be prepared with a joint sponsor."
  4. pushbrk
    If there's anything ON the back of the Birth Certificate, yes. That's' part of the document. You did not need an apostille.
  5. pushbrk
    They are aware. You can explain or not explain. Probably not necessary, but it won't hurt.

    I think what is happening is that the clarification in the instructions for USC and spouse is not in the same paragraph that states 5X. 3X applies to the spouse of a USC, no matter which spouse has title to the assets. That said, using assets alone, 3X is a minimum requirement, not an assurance. The totality of circumstances is what will be considered in making the decision. If liquid assets are between 3X and 5X, and particularly if they are barely over the 3X, a joint sponsor is probably going to be needed.

    Yes, lots of variations on this depending on the country. In mainland China, it's the date you finally got the paperwork correct and raised your right hands before the head of the marriage office. You are then handed the marriage book, one for each of you. We had a ceremony on a different day.

    For US Immigration "marriage date" is the date the couple became legally and lawfully married under the locally applicable laws. In some countries, ceremonies are not a required part of the process. If you are going to document your marriage with a marriage certificate that says April 1, 2022, then THAT is the date you enter on any immigration related forms. What is correct in these situations is what is correct according to the local government policy on what constitutes being legally and lawfully married, not what the couple thinks of as their "marriage date".

    I think you will find those cases are where the income will continue from the same source or employer, such as an international intra-company transfer. I doubt it would work for a totally new job. Are you transferring or taking a job with a new company? Please clarify. Note that your spouse is involved in an immigrant visa process, not a green card process. Sure, she'll get a green card after she 1, gets the visa, 2 pays the new immigrant fee, and 3 enters the US with the IR1 visa.

    While that is true, it is also true that if she never attended a visa interview, she could not have been denied a visa either, even if she HAD submitted a DS260.

    You "upload them". Why are you asking about rfe's to NVC? If you had one, you would already know what CEAC is and have the instructions for responding.
  12. pushbrk
    When you are ready to submit there will be instructions to read and follow. Note, you will file two I--130s. One for spouse and one for the toddler child.
  13. pushbrk
    That will work, or just "Disabled Veteran" in the employer name space and leave the rest blank except the start date. That's all they need.
  14. pushbrk
    Barcoded cover sheets were used when sending documents by mail to NVC. Everything is uploaded now, and you cannot upload until after the fees shows as paid. Follow actual NVC instructions. Follow actual I-864 instructions. If you still have questions, ask away, but throw out most of what you read anywhere else.

    If only it were that simple. This process is going to take a couple years. Get it started, and then you'll have plenty of time to learn the rest of the process. Depending on circumstances and timing, you (family) may want or need her to move ahead with the children at the beginning of a school year, etc. Lots to consider, but there is no hard requirement that she move before you have your visa.

    For those who will come along and read this later, it is important to understand that the fiancée visa is for coming to the USA, marrying, then staying to adjust status to Lawful Permanent Resident. No special visa is needed to marry in the USA, if you intend to leave before your allowed visit expires.

    Do you mean typing a name, or do you mean the signature. Not the same thing. Unless the beneficiary is currently in the USA, the I-130a does not need to be signed at all. The instructions are clear on this. Please clarify exactly what you are having trouble with.

    While this is correct, and I would agree in general, it is more expensive to have a destination wedding than the Utah County online marriage. Trip costs are what they are, but not all countries allow two foreigners to marry anyway. Something to look at, but not always as straight forward as it sounds.

    It doesn't matter how much foreign income you have now, unless it will continue from the same source once you're back in the USA. You will be entering ZERO as your current income and probably as your past income too. Unless you earned MORE than the foreign income exclusion, the total income line from your US federal tax returns will also be ZERO.

    Information from three tax returns is required for the affidavit of support. Sending more than one actual Tax Return Transcript is optional. Do it only if you think it will help your case. People with stable jobs and income do not benefit from providing more than the information required. Time to become an A-Student of both the I-864 and it's excellent instructions.
  21. pushbrk
    Yes and yes
  22. pushbrk
    No problem. Just update at NVC stage.
  23. pushbrk
    I gave information, not advice. I don't know enough about your case to advise directly on this issue. I'm giving you information to consider as you decide for yourself. Certainly, if you have other typical red flags to go with Nigeria and Ghana as factors, you'll want to consider everything very carefully. Factors of concern would be the US Citizen female being more than a few years older, little time together in person before marriage and until now, added to country of origin can be deal killers all on their own. On the other hand, if you have lots of time together in person, maybe you don't have anything to worry about at all.

    No. Why do you ask? The OP is in a K1 visa process, that will result in a K1 visa, then US entry, then marriage, then adjustment of status. So, adjusting status is relevant to their immigration process, not a CR1 visa.
  25. pushbrk
    Well yes. We are all confused because you posted in a visa forum. Makes as conclude you are seeking a visa, and are here visiting. Sounds like you're adjusting status, not seeking a visa. Please clarify. Yes, you live together.
