    Just focus on evidence of time spent together in person, like passport stamps and boarding passes, etc. Photos are good secondary evidence. Leave out letters/affidavits from friends. Makes you look desperate.

    Note that your wife can upload a photocopy of her complete passport as evidence she is a US Citizen. But, if she has a copy of a certified copy of her birth certificate, that is much easier.

    Correct. It is not clear whether you'll be looking at just going through the review queue for a few weeks or the full security check process. The passport is returned in case she needs it in the meantime.

    Go back to the clinic in person and ask.

    Your mother in law is not your wife, so no, YOU and NOBODY ELSE has filed a petition for THIS BENEFICIARY. It is critical you read carefully, interpret literally, and then answer accurately.

    You will need a new medical before the visa is issued, but wait until the visa is approved. If approved, it will be approved pending a new medical. If it has already been six months there is a reason for the delay. If you get a new one now, it might expire too.

    Click on the word Guides at the top of any page here. Select the one applicable to your case. Seems you want to adjust status from within the USA. Use that guide and do a concurrent filing. Start by downloading the instructions for the forms, and becoming an A-Student of them. It will be critical to your ultimate success. We'll help with the question that remain after you do your homework. OK?

    Details are important here. Strange they would say that wage and income transcripts, are wanted. Normally it is the Tax Return Transcripts. Why is the beneficiary here discussing this instead of the Petitioner whose documents are in question. Be specific. How many fees were paid? There are two fees to pay. Please be as specific as possible.

    Note, that when people use the word "domicile" in this context they mean "intent to establish or re-establish domicile". Intent is the keyword. There are certainly ways to evidence that intent without relocating ahead of your family. You have plenty of time to research that.

    Two previously sponsored immigrants. I already said that.
  11. pushbrk
    Correct. Parents are shown as immigrants previously sponsored who are still green card holders, not citizens. So household size will be four but the Consular Officer will correctly apply the 6 person household income requirement.

    It's ok to hand write. Perhaps it's an newbie at NVC making an error. It wouldn't be the first time.

    There are three kinds of copies of "divorce papers". A copy your lawyer gave you, a certified copy from the court or state records, and a photocopy of a certified copy. Any of the three can confuse certain individuals. I was adding to what you said, not correcting you. For my latest divorce, the court requested me to provide four originals. On the spot, the judge signed all four. The court kept one and the clerks certified the other three to give to me. It can be done any way the local court decides to do it. If a person doesn't know the difference, there's room for error.

    Not sure why anybody is worried about an old I-130 except to save the fee. Safe approach is a concurrent filing of I-130 and I-485, plus I-765 and I-131 if needed.

    Assuming this is a spouse visa case, your spouse should be counted only as the intending immigrant. Properly filled with an Adobe product, on a preceding page, you will have indicated you are sponsoring 1 immigrant. Since that is your spouse, the form will automatically populate a one on the later page for the number of immigrants. You do not also enter a one for spouse, as that will count her twice. Did you count her twice, or not at all? Probably one or the other.

    For most documents, divorce decrees included, what is required is a "certified copy". The original is never available. Petitions are filed with photocopies of certified copies, but at interview the actual certified copy can be requested. If "requested" it's "required". Using the correct terminology is important, even if sometimes officials fail to use it.
  17. pushbrk
    That is correct.

    Point of clarification is that nothing stops the applicant from leaving, but IF they leave before being granted Advance Parole, they will not get back in to complete the process. This knowledge usually prevents them from choosing to leave, but not always.

    Visiting and residing are not the same thing, but it sounds like she meets the "residing" definition. Not that it matters, but in the Philippines (back when Direct Consular Filing didn't require special circumstances) a person could "reside in" the Philippines on a tourist visa, because you can keep extending for up to three years at a time, with only a day of absence before starting the new three years. Lots of folks did it. A "temporary permanent resident" is a contradiction in terms but since it's a real thing, it's a real thing.

    If the Filipino spouse is a legal resident of Costa Rica, at the time of the interview, the interview will be there. Otherwise, Manila.

    To be clear, you will need a passport for the travel, and if your visa is approved at interview, you will have to ask for it back and delay the visa issuance, or cancel your trip. No way to get you passport with visa back the same day as the interview.

    I would say it's fine to just let your spouse carry current pay stub and account statements to the interview. One "year end" pay stub will do nicely, as it will show your full year's income. If the raise shows on that statement, even better.

    The petition does ask if he's in the USA. If you file before he leaves, say yes and complete his entry related question. Also, make sure you do NOT indicate a location where he will adjust status. Only indicate he will apply for a visa in Santiago. If it's a short wait until he leaves, go the other way and say he's not here, then wait until he leaves to file.

    Your questions indicate perhaps you left out doing the part I advised about becoming an A-Student of the form and its instructions. That's how you got in this spot to begin with. I gave suggestions about the most likely mistakes. There could be more. You'll only know if you do the homework. Also, read questions carefully, interpret literally, and answer accurately. If your answer isn't true, it's wrong. If your household size wasn't right, you made a mistake. This is the most difficult form in the process to complete correctly.

    What I said was not to to both, and to enter zero for spouse. Yes, do enter 1 for the number of immigrants being sponsored.
