  1. If that's the whole story, it's nothing at all to worry about.
  2. Then it is probably not anything but a backlog due to the last minute rush.
  3. You already have the correct instruction. That's why I asked the source. You do as they say at that link.
  4. Don't reschedule the interview. Go to the interview, and they will wait for the medical results are complete to issue the visa. Were you instructed otherwise? By whom?
  5. Correct, but it is still important to use a computer and Adobe products. Also important to input in order, so that following fields are activated or deactivated.
  6. Most likely, yes. This a manual intake process, and there would have been a rush. Other possibility is it arrived to late for the old fee, or there is another reason for rejecting and returning your package and payment. At this point, just wait and see. Are you sure the package was delivered in time. March 30 was a Saturday. The intake facility doesn't work on Saturday. Were the increased fees based on receipt date or mailing date?
  7. Yes, household of six. You are right about the exception, and that it will not apply when the the time comes.
  8. If he's self employed, he checks the self employed box. NVC knows self employed don't have W2 forms. Sometimes they have 1099s. Pretty clear by the occupation entered whether they would have 1099s for their primary income. A short sentence signed by the joint sponsor indicating they have no W2 or 1099 forms would be all then extra needed to point this out. Shouldn't be necessary but it might help.
  9. Only use Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to fill the form, and it will function properly. Adobe Reader is free and there is a version for Apple devices.
  10. Those I-864 instructions are critical. Your household will include all unmarried children under 21 no matter where they live. Combining income with your mother will add one person (your mother) to the total household, but using her as a household member and combining income will most likely be better, in this case than having her be a joint sponsor. As a joint sponsor, she would need to qualify for a household including all immigrants, plus herself, but not you.
  11. If you start your job now and are just now filing the I-130, then by the time the affidavit of support is needed, you should qualify based on your own income. If you do, not need to involve Mom.
  12. This is a non-issue. She'll enter currently correct information on her DS 160 visa application.
  13. Yes, that's fine if your income is clearly sufficient.
  14. Total income is the number for all years. AGI is only for those who file the 1040 EZ.
  15. "Permission Slip" Permission to what? Or do you mean "renuncia" instead of or in addition to permission slip? Anything that renounces his parental claims should work.
  16. And our discussion here is in the sole context of US Immigration. At some point later, his mother will need either permission from the biological father, for her child to immigrate permanently to the USA, or a Court Order showing she has full custody. (Unless the father is dead, then his death certificate will do nicely) Not needed at this stage, but you should know your plan for that even now.
  17. First, get your legal relationship to the child correct in your mind. For immigration purposes, he is simply your stepson. Even without the guide, the I-130 instructions spell out clearly what is required for spouse and what is required for a stepchild. You will be submitting evidence of your bona fide relationship to your wife, but nothing like that for the stepson. For him, you are simply providing evidence you are married to his mother and that he is his mother's child. Presumably, he will travel with his mother. Whether you are traveling with them or not, is irrelevant.
  18. Pay attention to little words like "or" etc. Sending a complete copy of what you mailed to IRS, is just fine.
  19. Are you the petitioner or beneficiary? What was the criminal charge?
  20. The life insurance policy is a total non-issue. Nobody is going to ask about it. It's just not the kind of thing that would make a difference in a visa case.
  21. Just expect a year. It might take more or less but there is no accurate way to predict.
