    That's correct. The new job works only on a transfer with the same employer. This can also end up being the reason the DCF request is denied, but worth a try.

    File at least three tax return right away. It's unlikely you'll owe any taxes.

    Please see my edits. Be more direct. You are not looking for assistance or advice. If they allow you to file, they'll provide the next steps without you asking.

    I would not ask for advice in the letter. I would directly request them to accept the case for Direct Consular Processing. It's a request, not a demand, but you are seeking action, not advice.

    Not for the natural child of a US Citizen. They become citizens upon arrival to reside with the US Citizen parent.

    OK. So, you follow the immigrant visa process for a child, which is similar to that of a spouse visa, with different documentation. The child's birth certificate naming his now US Citizen Father is the relationship evidence you need. When the child arrives, instead of getting a green card, you just apply for the child's US Passport. You can also file for Certificate of Citizenship for the child, after arrival. My personal opinion is that is not necessary though.

    The instructions are downloaded the same place you download the form. It's the adjacent link. Note also, that the I-130 is used for not only visas, and not only spouses. It's for any qualifying relative. This is a do it yourself site. The "doing" includes the homework also done by "self".

    On pay recent pay stub for each will do nicely. If you have a later tax return transcript, that's good. W2 is not really necessary but won't hurt. There is no such thing as "conditionally IR1". She has an immigrant visa interview appointment. Only Consular Officers can grant visas.

    Correct. And if that stamp isn't there find the closest CBP office and get it corrected. My wife and step daughter had the date August 39 stamped in there's. We got that corrected.

    No, it can't. There can only be one joint sponsor.

    There is no substitute, for becoming an A-Student of the actual instructions. Videos certainly are not a substitute. You must verify with the actual instructions. That's why they have instructions.
  12. pushbrk
    Being kind here, but you are asking the wrong question. What you want to know is in the instructions, but also clear from the context. If "you" the US Citizen are filing this form as the petitioner, you do not now and never will have any "immigrant status" in the USA. Become an A-Student of the step by step instructions for the form. Not doing that is why both of you above, are in this mess right now.

    A "Green Card" signifies Lawful Permanent Resident Status. Depending on circumstances and country, your wife may be able to secure a visitor visa. Your profile says Spain, so she can visit using the Visa Waiver Program, that allows 90 day visits. If she has no plan to leave her job and live in the USA, I'm sure even 90 days is longer than she would ever visit.

    Any "mass expedite" would mean they are adding or shifting staff temporarily to clear some of the backlog. There would be no pattern. Only qualified Consular Officers can conduct visa interviews.
  15. pushbrk
    If any, means "if any". Submission grants no A-number. Just enter zeros. Same for social security number if none.

    Many have made this same mistake, by failing to become A-Students of the form instructions and the form itself. Yes, the consequences of this particular mistake are severe. But, you now have plenty of time to do your homework on the most complicated form in the process, the I-864.

    Current income is king, not last year or any year's tax return, unless "self employed". If you take a job today paying 1k a week, your current income is now 52k. That's how it works. Take a look at the I-864 and you'll see there's a separate place to indicate you current income. It does not have to be a full year.

    Is your husband a US Citizen? Was he already a US Citizen when the child was born? Has the mother given permission for the child to live in the USA? Please answer those three questions first, so our assistance can be in the correct context.

    Above is the applicable guide that DOES tell you which forms to file. Visas are for entering countries. He's already here. He cannot get a US visa of any kind from within the USA. He will be adjusting status from his current visa. Follow that guide. If you don't think you understand, or can follow those instructions, hire professional help. Find them here. https://www.visajourney.com/partners/

    That would be useful.
  21. pushbrk
    It's certainly ok. But.....it's much better to use real evidence. Affidavits from third parties make you look desperate, or at best are simply useless.
  22. pushbrk
    Completely changes your story. Yes, the refugee travel document will be sufficient.
  23. pushbrk
    In the circumstance you describe, you would not be seeking any visa. Visas are affixed to passports and used to enter countries. Since you are already in the USA and qualified to apply for Lawful Permanent Resident Status, you would wait for that to be processed. Your other option is to follow the process of adjusting to LPR status based on your marriage to a US Citizen. Neither of those requires a passport because no visa is involved. Once you have LPR status, it doesn't really matter which way you legally obtained it. Either what you are already doing or the based on marriage route has the same result.
  24. pushbrk
    That doesn't matter. Divorces occur where the person filing lives at the time. The issue is documenting the divorce.
  25. pushbrk
    What is required is a photocopy (scan, email, and print is same) of a certified copy of the divorce decree, with certified English translation. USCIS does not care why you don't have it. You will need to obtain a new one before the RFE deadline or the petition will be denied, and you get to start over. Your CENOMAR will be needed but only AFTER the I-130 petition is approved. Documents showing that the Philippines PSA recognizes the divorce, do not meet the requirement.
