    If DS 160 is your only option after correctly indicating you are seeking an immigrant visa, then just go with it. You don't need to know "why?". This is all about getting your passport back to you, and nothing else.

    If you have something from the Consulate requiring you to upload documents that are not already in CEAC, then those are the instructions you follow. What are those actual instructions to which you refer?

    Not quite. Needing to combine incomes for the affidavit of support is the situation that would cause the I-864a to be more appropriate. When the joint sponsor qualifies without combining income with the petitioner, they act as joint sponsor, not household member, even if the petitioner is the joint sponsor's dependent. Tax return fiing status is not the only factor to consider. More important is whether the joint sponsor has enough income without combining on the AOS, not the tax return.

    It is correct that the stepfather should be the joint sponsor. His wife (her mother? ) should be his household member and provide an I-864a even if she has no income. Don't expect them to want it the other way around. They won't "ask" why you did it correctly.

    Photocopies of bank statements are fine. A printed PDF of a signed affidavit of support is also fine.

    The above is incorrect. The amount owed, is not a factor if the "Total Income" is 100k. It just means that's how much he needs to pay. If there was a balance owed from a prior year, or a tax lien, that's a problem. There's really not enough information provided in the original post to know what the amount owned refers to. "Total income" is the taxable income for the specific year. With over 100k in taxable income, 24k in actual taxes is just how much to pay. Ask the sponsor if he has any past due taxes.

    Removal of the joint sponsor or not is more likely about the totality of circumstances than the country.

    Everything you are calling an "original" is probably a "certified copy". Certainly a divorce decree from any US State would be. The State owns and holds the original. For example, when you supplied your divorce decree with the I-130, that would have been a photocopy of a certified copy. What you are talking about now is an "Original Certified Copy". Words mean things.

    Quoting myself, I think you can get better information about the visitor record in the Canada Regional Forum. It seems to me like one of those things that sounds great until you find out it really isn't what it sounds like. For your sake, I hope I'm wrong.

    A "visitor record" is an extension you apply for. Apply for, does not indicate you will be granted what you apply for. How long you can extend is unclear to me, and whether YOUR reason is allowed is not clear either. If your application is denied, you must leave but you have not "overstayed" or incurred a penalty. It also does not grant you come and go privileges during the extension.

    Then you will not be "living in Canada" for the duration of spouse visa process either.

    Yes. Enter Not Applicable and do not select a state.

    Six months doesn't solve the problem. No idea if the OP is reading but they have not come back to make any responses.
  14. pushbrk
    Yes, two potential holes in your plan, how to stay in Canada that long and how you are going to qualify to sponsor. You post mentions neither.
  15. pushbrk
    Unless you are a dual Canada USA citizen, you are only allowed to visit Canada for six months. You cannot just leave for a day and come back for another six months. The same goes in the other direction. How do you plan to obtain authorization to live in Canada for around 18 months?
  16. pushbrk
    Exactly what to bring depends on exact circumstances. In short, she should bring the original or certified copy of anything that is uploaded. Exception is the affidavit of support. A scanned copy of the signed affidavit is fine.
  17. pushbrk
    Note the question about current income asks for the current income YOU ARE USING TO QUALIFY. Income that will not continue from the SAME SOURCE once in the USA cannot be counted. Same field but different company is NOT the same source. You will need a qualified joint sponsor, and to complete a new accurate affidavit from the petitioner accurately showing zero current income.

    If she lost her job, enter the last day of employment in the date field and $0.00 as her current income.

    In many cases, that notice can simply be ignored, but you have not provided enough information for us to know. If the sponsor is the US Citizen Petitioner, and their job will continue once in the USA, just ignore it. If the liquid assets of the petitioner and applicant combined are well over three times the income requirement, ignore it. This is a stock message anytime the "total income" number on the latest tax return is below the 125% of the poverty line. Please clarify the source(s) and amounts of whatever it is the Petitioner is using to qualify?

    Your convenience and what you want are not priorities in this process. There is going to be a risk that you are not only separated, but you wait in Egypt while your wife returns to the USA. I cannot say how much risk or for how long. I can only say that it is YOUR risk. If there is a delay after the interview, you will endure that delay without your Egyptian Passport.

    Be sure to enter Not Applicable in the adjustment of status space.

    You can update your affidavit of support anytime. Since you are employed, you can use a pay stub as your evidence of your new income. If the interview is next year, the beneficiary can take the year end pay stub as early as you have it, and or the new tax return as soon as you file it.

    That you interviewed in Thailand and are Egyptian is the problem, particularly if you are not a legal resident of Thailand. Details matter here. Yes, it is very likely you will have another interview in Cairo. My suggestion is for your wife to travel to the USA when you travel to Cairo, so that deals with the domicile issue directly. You might find other advantages to that as well.
  24. pushbrk
    Where was the interview?

    Like I said, it's too late for DCF. You needed to do that instead of filing with USCIS. Your lack of financial means is a two-edged sword. Again, what is your plan for sponsoring (financially) YOU, the intending immigrant. If you do not have a satisfactory plan for that, there will be no immigrant visa anyway. First things first. The USA is not going send you both from Turkey to the USA so the US Taxpayer can support you both. It just doesn't work that way.
