    Exactly Answer honestly. If there was a formal name change, obtain the applicable documentation.

    Benefits have been addressed. She will need a qualified joint sponsor, or the foreign spouse or fiancé are not getting either of those visas. I think it's unlikely marriage to an unemployed husband will impact her current means tested benefits in any negative way, but do check. If you are successful in immigrating and finding a corporate job, then you will be supporting the family, and your insurance from work will become primary.

    I don't understand your question. What do you mean by "ETA on the outcome of our visa decision"? Typically, there is one interview. If successful, they will return her passport within a few days. She won't have a passport during those days, obviously. Visa decisions are made during interviews. If you mean ETA on petition approval, then the answer is she'll have at least a few weeks notice of the interview date, and would be free to travel up until that date.

    No. You can file the N600k any time you are ready. She needs to be able to travel to the USA for the interview. Should be no problem getting a visa to do that, when the time comes. Depending on her citizenship, she might not need a visa at all, just ESTA.

    There is no difference between evidence of relationship and evidence of bona fide relationship. No "wedding" is required.
  6. pushbrk
    Yes. Just use the new passport number next time it's asked for at the NVC stage.

    No worries, but it is the I-130 petition that was approved. CR1 is a visa. Visas are only "approved" and granted by Consular Officers. In your case, that's going to be in Manila sometime next year.
  8. pushbrk
    Correct. Many here have used the Utah Marriage process, but you must have evidence you were either together at the time of the marriage, or have been together in person between the marriage date and filing the petition.

    Only a problem if not true. If the first address covers more than five years, they can see there are no more addresses needed.
  10. pushbrk
    You found where to upload the I-130a, right?

    No country has more than one US Embassy. Many have multiple US Consulates. Sometimes the Immigrant Visa Unit works out of the Capital City where the embassy is, but very often not. No country has more than one US Immigrant Visa Unit. Canada, China, India, Mexico and many others are examples of countries that have the IV Unit at a Consulate instead of the Embassy. Mozambique, is an example of a country without a US IV Unit, so they interview in Johannesburg. Iran has no US US Embassy or Consulate, so Iranians interview in Ankara or Abu Dhabi.

    I meant exactly what I said, literally. No need for any "notification".
  13. pushbrk
    Surely you received submission instructions with the 221(g) notice. What do those instructions tell you to do?
  14. pushbrk
    Use his new address on the affidavit of support and DS 260. No worries. No "notification".
  15. pushbrk
    Actually no. You are talking about adding after the fact. He's asking about adding at the time of submission. You submit the photos and other supporting evidence as part of the initial online submission, or the mailed in package.
  16. pushbrk
    Changes nothing. All immigrant visa interviews in Canada are in Montreal.
  17. pushbrk
    Do you already have an interview date?
  18. pushbrk
    Disregard whatever is telling you that you have a week left. You probably have six months left. From NVC to interview tends to vary a lot in Montreal, but think of at least six months from petition approval to interview. Best realistic expectation is to have a visa sometime about a year from now to late next year.
  19. pushbrk
    Great. What "was not returned to" you has now been returned, and you supplied the required documentation.
  20. pushbrk
    Copy of passport is not needed by USCIS. A copy of the foreign spouse's passport data page will be needed at the NVC stage. So, now you print two copies of each passport photo and mail them in. Follow the instructions exactly. Don't interpret them an other way than literally. That's how they are written and intended to be understood.
  21. pushbrk
    Documents in English or in the local language, do not need translation at the NVC or Consulate stages. For the exact document needed and how to obtain it, start here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html Also download and become an A-Student of the I-864 INSTRUCTIONS and the form itself.
  22. pushbrk
    You say you submitted a photo of your passport. That's the problem. You've confused "photo of passport" with "passpor style photos." What is needed is to submit a passport style photo of yourself. The same kind of photo you would submit with a passport application. The instructions are clear on this. Click on the link provided. You'll need more of the same for the beneficiary later at medical and interview.
  23. pushbrk
    Yes, it's ok, but I would suggest filing AFTER she is gone, and make sure you uncheck the box on the I-130 that says she's currently in the USA. This can help avoid confusion by USCIS officers. Be sure to leave the adjustment of status location blank or indicate Not Applicable, and then DO indicate the location of the Consulate abroad where she will interview.
  24. pushbrk
    Yes, at least for the most recent year, 2023. However, your question indicates you have not yet become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions. That is going to be critical to your ultimate success. Download them right next to where you downloaded the form.
  25. pushbrk
    Yes, but since you have no extra pages and your spouse is not currently in the USA, no signature and no passport photo are needed. You just upload the completed PDF. Note, it does not matter who does the typing.
