    Submit a whole new affidavit of support and supporting documents online before the interview, but only after you have an interview date.

    Are you saying the joint sponsor will do more than provide and sign papers? Are you saying the joint sponsor is actually going to support you? What is your plan to actually live and pay your living and medical expenses? You don't have to answer me, but the Consular Officer needs an answer, so you better have one. Don't expect a Consular officer to believe your joint sponsor is actually going to pay your expenses.

    If she has sufficient liquid assets in her account, she can declare and document those, instead of using a joint sponsor. If sufficient funds already available, is how you will support each other, then no issue. You have not provided details. Time to become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions and the form itself. Unless that joint sponsor is going to take the responsibility of actually supporting you, you still need a support plan. What is it?

    Usually, only close family members are willing to take on such an obligation, once they read what they are signing and understand the personal and financial information they must disclose.

    Correct, but also considered is their motivation to actually sponsor. Has this former coworker read the contract he will sign? By sponsor I mean actually support. You still need to present a viable plan for actual support. I've asked twice about the foreign spouse's ability and intention to contribute to the couple's support. You have not mentioned any of that. It is highly relevant. You do not "cover up" anything. You must convince the Consular Officer you will not become a public charge, meaning not have to be supported by the US taxpayer instead of your spouse and yourself.

    Earlier you said she did not want to wait in the USA. Please address my direct questions, as they are still critical to your ultimate success. Sounds like she can satisfy the domicile issues, but how is she going to qualify as your financial sponsor? Are you employable and part of the plan for supporting yourselves in the USA. If so, please elaborate. No qualified financial sponsor, means not visa for you.

    We don't know all the things the Consular Officer will know. I mentioned your employability and anything you have to offer to the picture. You haven't mentioned any of that, so nobody can predict what "like mine" actually means. If she can work remotely for an employer where the "employee income" not self employment will continue from the same source, that would be good. Bear in mind that in these situations, the petitioner must do what they must do, regardless of whether they want to or not. Otherwise, no visa for you. 😉

    No reason to think your income is overstated, unless it appears your deductions are unusually low. You can use bank statements to support the income stream, but if you do, I would add a letter of explanation and highlight which deposits are business revenue.
  9. pushbrk
    The Consular Officer will consider the totality of circumstances, which will include how the two of you will support yourselves in the USA. If she can't afford to support you herself, then your employability and intentions are part of the circumstances to be considered.

    1. Your wife must complete, sign, and submit an I-864 as the petitioner. The "w" version is not applicable to your case. 2. That she has re-established domicile is good. If she goes back to work, she can submit an updated I-864 before the interview.

    You are confusing revenue with income. A 1099 is evidence of business revenue, not income. What you mention as "profit" is most likely your "income" and the tax return is the proof of income. Your current income is the amount shown as "total income" on your 2023 federal income tax return. If you declared all your revenue on your tax return, then that's all you need to do. The Consular Officer will accept that you earned any income you are willing to declare and be taxed on.
  12. pushbrk
    The issue is not whether the amount is enough to qualify. It is, but you must provide the pay stubs from the other employers anyway. Be thorough, not minimal.
  13. pushbrk
    1. You have an A number that is available to you. Of course you enter it. 2. Instructions say when using US passport as your evidence of US Citizenship, to provide a complete copy.
  14. pushbrk
    If the A number is unavailable to you, enter all zeros. Just answer no about the certificate of citizenship or naturalization. Neither is required when you derive citizenship through a parent.
  15. pushbrk
    Read what it says about alternate documents.

    So you've solved the easy part, travel arrangements. You seem to be focused on minimum requirements, to start the process. Now is the time to do your homework on red flags and what constitutes enough relationship evidence to have chance of actually being together in the USA. Start by understanding no officials care on little bit how difficult this might be for you to do the one thing that makes the difference. (To spend significant time together in person)

    I don't know one that allows selecting the connections as part of the search. Typically the options are listed by price, so scroll down. Another option is two tickets. Find a ticket to the transit country after finding a ticket from that country to Bahamas.
  18. pushbrk
    Yes, just about as difficult as the USA.
  19. pushbrk
    There may be a way, but there does not have to be. First Google the countries a Turkish Citizen can travel to without a visa, then use a travel website to search for tickets to Bahamas that pass through one of those countries. Bahamas is so close to the USA, that most trans Atlantic flights will arrive in the USA. Maybe through South America. Start here. https://visaguide.world/visa-free-countries/turkish-passport/

    What country issued his passport. You must understand that if he cannot get a visa to visit the USA, then he cannot take a connecting flight to the Bahamas, that lands in the USA first either. I expect there ARE flights to the Bahamas that go through other countries first, but you need to be aware of that in your planning. What country he's from makes a big difference on how much evidence of relationship you'll need to be successful. Generally, a single meeting and getting married on the same meeting, can be a big red flag. How long would you be together in person? Everything matters. You asked about waiving meeting in person at all. That won't work, but the king of relationship evidence or the devil that kills things, is in how much time you spend together in person.

    Small correction. You need information from all three returns, but only need to send the 2023. Adding that the numbers for the tax section (separate from current income) you use on both the parents' forms is the same. It's the number called "Total Income" on the Tax Return Transcripts. You haven't provided enough information to state their current income though. Your mother's will be the gross pay on the latest pay stub, multiplied by the number of pay periods in a full year, then add the three together. You say Dad is retired. Does he have a stream of retirement income, or just the corporate income?
  22. pushbrk
    Yes
  23. pushbrk
    You need to know that the first action related to immigration is taken by the US Citizen, not the foreign spouse. Start by having a valid marriage to a US Citizen.
  24. pushbrk
    Yes, it will be a conflict, but not to worry. Get your mind around the fact that you cannot hide the truth. The Consular Officer will know the whole story, because there is no way to hide it. You must disclose all marriages and divorces. Even if you tried to hide the first marriage and divorce to the US Citizen, they would know because they know you couldn't live together in the UAE without a marriage certificate. The truth is what the truth is. Own it. You have no other choice. If asked, you explain by telling the truth. You realized your first marriage to your current husband was not valid, and you did what you needed to do to fix it. Adding that your son is a US Citizen because his father is, not because you were married to the father. You need confidence in what is the right thing to do. The right thing, may or may not assure your success. Actions have consequences. All you can do is all you can do.

    Ugg. Same thing. Combine the PSA and NBI documents with a legal and lawful divorce in the other country. USCIS and Consular Officers can read and understand the timeline of what happened. Once you have a legal divorce from the Filipino, what old or new PSA or NBI documents say about your status only matters to the Philippines. It does not matter to USCIS or a Consular Officer. Surely, I've stated that clearly four times now. What you absolutely need is a divorce that is legal and lawful where it is obtained, and that has a date earlier than your marriage date to your baby's father. Without taking those steps, the rest doesn't matter, but you do NOT NOT NOT need the divorce to be recognized by any Philippine government agency, in order to immigrate to the USA.
