    Correct. Good chance of long AP for a Pakistani. Requesting to have them ask for the passport when they are ready to issue the visa, is probably the best option.

    Then you have your answer. I wouldn't like it either, but it is what it is. You'll need to stay in Guangzhou of find a means of travel that does not require a passport. Maybe train, bus or one-way car rental.

    How about those passport stamps of visits? Boarding passes? USCIS and Consular Officers are not the morality police. Your relationship started when she was still legally married. They've seen it many times.

    No. You've made one or more errors, not the form. Your first error could be that you are not using an adobe product, ("Adobe Reader" is free.), you counted your spouse twice, or you do not have a 1 earlier in the form as the total number of immigrants you are sponsoring. But yes, you can print, edit, sign, and scan as an alternative.

    You do not need a passport to travel domestically, within China, unless that is your only ID. If you don't have other acceptable ID, arrange pickup or local shipping in Guangzhou. Passports are for international travel.

    Replying to myself for any reader. The NOA2 original notice in a K1 visa case....IS....needed, not for the interview, but to adjust status after marriage.
  7. pushbrk
    Correct answer is no, you are not required to have original notices from USCIS.
  8. pushbrk
    Sort of. Real answer is that if you have a passport, you enter the passport number etc. but only enter US entry related answers if currently in the USA. That your passport number etc. will change, is not a problem. Just enter the new information at the NVC stage. You do not enter information about any visit except if you are in the USA now. You only check a box, if you EVER entered BEFORE.

    You'll be giving the Consulate, the address to send you passport by courier. Note, the "Embassy" is in Bejing. You're dealing with a Consulate.

    Correct. The I-864 is the most complicated form to get right. Read carefully, and respond accurately, to each and every question. Also follow the excellent step by step instructions you must download separately.
  11. pushbrk
    You are correct that the process varies by country. In general, you must interview where you are a citizen or legal resident. However, I'm the US Citizen anyway, but even though I'm a tourist in the Philippines, I've been living here almost seven years. Back when there was DCF, I would have qualified to do DCF, because I have an actual long term lease, driver license and Alien ID card issued by the Philippines. I would encourage you to try the transfer, but be prepared for any result.

    "Online" is not specific. Embassy websites are great sources. The two passport photo instruction from USCIS is an artifact from 15 or more years ago. Same with the six months of pay stubs, but even an older artifact.
  13. pushbrk
    Yes. Lots of misinformation online, so that's not a good name for a good source. This time, the source was correct.
  14. pushbrk
    No worries. No problem. If the foreign spouse isn't in the USA, you didn't even need to send one for them. Yes, instructions say two, but that instruction is an artifact.

    It's important to understand that USCIS adjudicates the petition, but they do not issue visas. They are part of Homeland Security, and that's who gets the first fee, Dept. of Homeland Security. When USCIS is done, you'll deal with NVC and a Consulate, both part of Dept. of State. Once the visa is in hand, you will deal with USCIS again and pay the last fee to them.

    She just gives a new address, and they will note it in the system. You can upload an updated financial package before the interview, as belt and suspenders.
  17. pushbrk
    I too have seen this. Rejecting such documents is an error, but it does happen.
  18. pushbrk
    Correct. Cash is liquid and US dollars in liquid funds are preferred.
  19. pushbrk
    Read the question carefully. It contains the words "that you are using to qualify". You don't have any income to use to qualify.
  20. pushbrk
    Seems appropriate to add that, here in the Philippines where I live, Foreigners are not even allowed to be so politically active as to attend a political rally or express political speech.
  21. pushbrk
    While the above is certainly true, many much prefer to be self sufficient. Sounds like the assets are enough, and the self employment/business ownership continued income is hard to document. Restaurants tend to do better when the owner is on-site. Rental properties are not really liquid and landlords usually have little or no taxable income, after deducting allowable depreciation and expenses. If you really want to qualify on your own, you would sell the foreign real estate, and send it in dollars to your US bank account.

    Now that your request has been granted, the need for translated documents changes a bit as you are dealing with the Consulate instead of USCIS in the USA. Still I would stay away from things needing translation and concentrate on evidence of time spent together in person. You live in Germany together. Stick with that evidence. Boarding passes would not need to be translated.
  23. pushbrk
    Yes, your circumstances will have changed during the visit, and you can switch to adjusting status.
  24. pushbrk
    That would be my advice too, but either is fine.
  25. pushbrk
    Can and will are different words, with different meanings. I said "can".
