In this context, your grandmother is irrelevant. No need to mention her in any way, assuming your pay from your job is how you are qualifying as sponsor.

Wet signature is not required for I-864 at interview.

Whether you get an RFE or not, it will not be that fast. You could file and then just send the correct one in response to any RFE, but definitely update the corrected one at the NVC stage. This kind of error is amazingly common, but must be corrected.

Go to the PSA and get it fixed. Is it also misspelled on the local Civil Registry Certificate?

US Citizens are required to file US Federal tax returns on their worldwide income. However, there is a filing threshold. If your income is below that threshold, you are not required to file. Determine whether you were required to file or not. If you were, file the back tax returns. You sponsor qualification WILL BE determined by your current income which is entered in a different section of the affidavit, but that is not a substitute for dealing with the tax section. Come back when you determine whether you were required to file or not. Even if you were, it's unlikely you will owe any back taxes.

Yes, I would do that. Good idea.

A person applying for a CR1 visa better not be single. Please clarify.

Can't open the image. Please just past the wording into your post, but leave out the personal information.

You're welcome. These situations are the inspiration for the anonymous quote in my signature.

This is a visa case, (I presume since it's posted in a visa forum) so USCIS won't see or deal with the affidavit of support. You are correct as to recommending a tax return transcript but incorrect as to how to complete the affidavit. The total income from the three tax returns gets entered in the tax section, even if it's combined income. This is very straight forward. What you quoted above is about what to submit, not how to complete the form. If this person is self employed, it's a bit more complicated, but assuming they are employed, they will state only their own current income where they are asked what their own current income is "that they are using to qualify....". If the person is self employed, say so, and I'll provide the necessary information. NVC and Consular Officers deal with affidavits of support in visa cases, not USCIS. I just want to add, that "asking for a friend" noble as it is, is a bad idea overall. There is no "solution" to this situation. No timeline is given. If the "friend" hasn't filed the petition yet, then they'll file another tax return as married filing separately before the affidavit of support is even needed.

Make sure she has the new address to provide during the interview. That address is where her green card and Social Security Card will be mailed. Otherwise, not an issue. Be sure to have your mail forwarded by the post office.

Any "RFE" is "at this stage", meaning between filing and decision. It's for something they want that was not included in the package. Nobody here could accurately speculate on what it might be, without far more information about your case and what you DID include with your initial filing. You could entertain yourself reading "The stupid RFE" thread pinned at the top of this forum.

You notify USCIS that you've naturalized. When the petition for spouse gets to the National Visa Center, it will proceed right away. As a US Citizen, you'll file a separate petition/I-130 for each parent.

Correct. There is no "processing time" associated with a Consulate change. It's a matter of days.

No.

"After she arrived" is not the issue. It must have been issued after she left or as she was leaving. Otherwise she needs a new one, exactly the one described, and obtained exactly as instructed in the link I gave you. No police clearances are needed for the petitioner. (You) Now is also a good time for you to understand the I-130 is a petition for alien relative, not an "application". When YOUR petition is approved, the foreign relative(s) are invited to "apply for" immigrant visas. Both details AND terminology are important for understanding the process and what is needed.

The information on the marriage certificate is the key. People get new passports during the process often. It's a non-issue. They aren't worried you are bringing her sister instead, you know, somebody with the same address history and parents. 😜

Your question should have included that. If she has the correct document and it was issued AFTER she left Romania, then she does not need a new one. Details matter.

It doesn't matter how it "seems" to anybody. It must be obtained exactly as instructed.

No problem. Just use the new name from NVC going forward. If you knew the firm intention to make the change, you could have filed in the married name, even if the change was not complete yet.

It is absolutely necessary, unless actually not available. See how and what here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Romania.html

Maybe a typo but "online" meeting doesn't count. In person time between the Utah proxy marriage date and the petition filing date is what is required. You do not need to show you cohabitated. His passport stamps entering and exiting the Philippines is all the "consummation" evidence needed, but it is absolutely required.

Then she should take the most recent pay stub for a full pay period. If asked, she can just say you're starting a new job today. Don't expect an issue. It's OK to change jobs.

Then just have the spouse take a current pay stub from the new job to the interview. I would skip the offer letter, if it contains the word "temporary".
