    The I-485 is not used in a spouse immigrant visa case. It's for adjusting status from within the USA.

    It's not wrong to show 2 and 3. Consular Officers would apply the correct income requirement anyway.
  3. pushbrk
    Yes, if you want to be together it will not be in the USA.

    First, when properly completed there is never a 1 person household because the sponsor is also counted. Always use an Adobe product to complete any USCIS form. Your children are not derivatives but, my advise is not to use the EZ version. It's always ok to use the full version. If you want to have the household size properly computed on the form, the count the two children as Other Dependents, on the wife's form, then count the wife on each child on each child's form, and the other child as 1 other dependent on each child's form. That way, all forms will show a total household of 4.

    You are going to go through extra processing because of the immigrant visa. You cannot use Global entry fast lane for this entry. If you try, you will be redirected. When you ask, they'll tell you that, for this time. You will never again use your visa to enter the USA. It will be your passport and green card, or if before green card the "endorsed visa" is a temporary green card.

    "Originals" typically means the foreign spouse's certified copies of their civil documents. Yes she can bring printouts of what you submitted.
  7. pushbrk
    Correct, but the answer is yes, a print of the Tax Return Transcript PDF is as "original" as is possible. They know this.
  8. pushbrk
    One in the same. If that's how the State issues Certified copies, then it will be accepted. An electronic signature is a broad category that includes digital signatures, while a digital signature is a specific type of electronic signature.

    Sure, but don't really raise your hopes. The time to do that would have been as soon as you got your receipt notice for filing the I-130. If it helps it helps. Good luck to you, really. In the meantime, go visit your husband.

    Further, you will never use ESTA again unless you lose or give up your LPR status. You are using your foreign passport plus the US immigrant visa as your travel documents. In the future, you will use your foreign passport and green card to enter the USA. If and when you become a US Citizen, you MUST ALWAYS enter the USA as a US Citizen with your US Passport, no matter what or how many other citizenships you may have.

    Yes, it's ok. No, they are not asking for original tax returns. There's really no such thing when you file electronically anyway. Always read carefully, and it will become clear what "original" documents are needed. Even then, they are almost always "original certified copies". Misinterpretation of instructions is common. Pay close attention and interpret literally.

    Replying to myself to show example of Consulate Issued digital signature.
  13. pushbrk
    If the official document is digitally signed, then you upload the actual PDF, then take a printout of it to the interview. There are no wet signatures on digitally signed documents, but the face of the document indicates it was digitally signed and by whom.
  14. pushbrk
    Yes Embassies understand these documents. Specifically, my deceased friend's widow received a digitally signed Consular Report of Death Abroad from the US Embassy in Manila last week.
  15. pushbrk
    You asked somebody who advised you without doing the proper research first. No, it's not "risky".
  16. pushbrk
    You are not an LPR and cannot use ESTA this time. Just enter as a foreigner. You'll get the appropriate attention and processing. Don't expect anything like expedited.

    One would not get the idea they must prove they have insurance, from reading that article. It's first paragraph is an update indicating it's no longer even a phantom issue. We never saw an issue from it, probably because people who have qualifying income or assets are able to get health insurance through the ACA marketplace. I said it was never an actual issue because it never was.
  18. pushbrk
    This has never been an issue, never. Just deal with it when you can after arrival. Do NOT expect a question about it. Not sure where you got that understanding, but it is false.
  19. pushbrk
    Either way will work, but I would have combined them.
  20. pushbrk
    The case will not go forward without all documents submitted, and your affidavit of support.
  21. pushbrk
    So, yes complete, sign and upload a new I-864 using the recently new version of the I-864. Ignore the step children for now, but if your income is barely enough to qualify for them, yes, do state and document your liquid assets and add your husband's income (converted to dollars) in part 6, line 8 and provide the evidence this income will continue, and evidence of his current income, like a pay stub, or best, just the offer letter accompanying his job transfer.
  22. pushbrk
    Yes, it is particularly important to know the nature of the sources of income. Usually, the petitioner's spouse would do an I-864a, not be a joint sponsor, but without details, it's impossible to know if there's a good reason for this. For our discussion here, it's more helpful if you omit your "feelings" (We understand.) and stick to the pertinent facts.
  23. pushbrk
    Yes. Note that "not required" does not mean "should not" as you have interpreted it. When it's steady employee income, it certainly isn't necessary. When it's income being generated by assets, surely you can see the benefit of declaring and documenting the assets that are generating the income.
  24. pushbrk
    Did you state and document the investment assets that are generating the income?
  25. pushbrk
    It will be fine the way it is.
