  1. I would just add, you should check your email carefully, including spam folder. Also verify your correct email address was included in your I-130 filing.
  2. Becoming a US Citizen will not speed up the USCIS portion of the process, but may speed up the NVC and onward portions. Hopefully, there are no children coming, that don't have their own separate petitions. We see this often.
  3. Except for Chinese, the issue is not who translates. It is not the translator, that is "official" or "certified". The translator certifies with their own statement above their signature, that they are fluent in the two named languages, and that the translation is true and complete. Yes, you can be the translator, but if you have friend who could also do this, my recommendation is you do the work for them, and let them certify it.
  4. No worries in that situation.
  5. Obtain the certificate any time after she stopped living there. A "visit" later is irrelevant.
  6. No. If asked at interview, she can mention it. Since she's immigrating to the USA, they would expect she'll be leaving any job she already had anyway, so don't expect it to come up.
  7. What you have done should satisfy NVC. Your mistake was listing a place you visited, as a place of residence.
  8. You understand USCIS rules correctly but USCIS doesn't issue visas. Best practice is for a married sponsor filing a joint tax return with spouse, is to have the spouse provide the I-864 PERIOD. This document is a contract. Consular Officers expectations do not match USCIS.
  9. First, you were overthinking. Now you're trying to oversimplify. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-we-grant-your-green-card/maintaining-permanent-residence
  10. Does worrying make you happy? Deal with any problem if it actually happens.
  11. That is correct, but the Consulate or Embassy has authority over the visa category at issue. If the visa is IR1, it's unlikely the green card will be wrong, but still possible. This is not about authority. Only mistakes can impact the final result.
  12. And if you ultimately receive a two year card, file an I-90 with no fee, and get it corrected. This is really nothing to worry about. You were told, it "might not" change in the portal. Then you asked if the person was sure it "might not". Now you know whether it changes or not is irrelevant. If you want to be sure to receive the correct visa, mention it to the Consular Officer at your interview.
  13. No. It won't. Do it after you have your interview date.
  14. Delete the whole original financial package and upload a new and updated one from the petitioner.
  15. Submit to CEAC after you know your interview date, and before the interview.
  16. Yes, because he will document current income with a pay stub, not a tax return. His income is the gross times 52, not the net after deductions.
  17. Yes, you can transfer assets anytime you want. To use those assets to qualify as sponsor, you need evidence you owned the for a year or so. A home sale, and its proceeds are pretty easy to document with bank records, from wherever.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. Correct answer is no, you are not required to have original notices from USCIS.
  25. 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.
