    You would be helping more, if you lead her here. It's not difficult to find.

    Not really practical to "ask for a friend" in this forum. Why isn't the US Citizen spouse here discussing this, or even your friend directly. Second hand information is unreliable. You don't know the questions to ask or whether you've gotten a meaningful answer. My advice is to get one or both of them involved directly in the discussion. It will save time and confusion.

    And.....we do have a shared bank account and she is the primary benefactor of my mutual fund, no children together.

    China is a huge country with only one place to get an immigrant visa. Of course you depart from wherever, even if your international departure is outside China.
  5. pushbrk
    No need for translation because you already entered the name and address on the form in English anyway.
  6. pushbrk
    Just to be clear, the petitioner includes their US Citizen children in their household size but the Joint sponsor does not. This question is about the joint sponsor.

    12 to 15 months is a proper expectation, but don't put much stock in the predictions.
  8. pushbrk
    What is acceptable and how to obtain is found here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html
  9. pushbrk
    Yes, you seem to have it right.
  10. pushbrk
    Yes the date is only needed if you add extra sheets. That's what the literal interpretation is, of the sentence you referred to from the instructions. Read carefully. Interpret literally, then respond accurately based on the first two. You're making this harder than it needs to be.
  11. pushbrk
    Yes. Note the for form will insert your name on top of page 7 automatically, if you are using Adobe.
  12. pushbrk
    See page (number) for complete address, then type any addresses in the open text fields at the end of the form. That's ther reason they are there.
  13. pushbrk
    Probably, at least that. 6 to 18 months is what I've seen. More complicated when there is an additional country involved, with no PCC available.
  14. pushbrk
    If you did your homework, you already know any Pakistani male is going into extended AP after the interview. No way was the visa going to be approved at interview. This has been true for more than twenty years. If a PCC is not available, it won't be required. You don't mention the country. Even so, the Dept. of State will now begin the extensive, expensive, on the ground investigations every Pakistani Male and many Pakistani females go through after an otherwise successful interview. Relax. He's in AP. It's expected, not a secret, and should not be a surprise to you.
  15. pushbrk
    Yes, that's the answer. I'm going to add though that these forms are intended to be completed using an Adobe application, (reader or acrobat) You need to be extremely careful otherwise as there are built in functions that won't work otherwise. You can have a real fit later doing that with the affidavit of support. If you are going to pay the kind of close attention to detail that's going to take, then take the time to become an A-Student of the instructions for the forms.
  16. pushbrk
    The first line is all you need. The form won't let you type n/a in most fields anyway. That instruction is an artifact from decades ago. Note also that some questions are applicable but the answer is none. In this case the answer is "Above" and I assure you that is sufficient. Think but don't overthink. Common sense is important in this context.
  17. pushbrk
    It's important to read carefully, and interpret literally. "If NOT shown above" means exactly that. If it IS shown above, just enter "ABOVE" on the first line.
  18. pushbrk
    No. Three times the income requirement, and well over it. Think in terms of 100k plus. They know you will burn through a lot of savings for the move. Study those instructions. It's critical you understand. Drop the "surely...." attitude. It is what it is.
  19. pushbrk
    Time to become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions. You need a qualified sponsor for your immigrant spouse. Substantial liquid assets would be well over 3 times the income requirement. You must also show you have owned those assets for a year or so, instead of it being a temporary loan from an otherwise unqualified or unwilling sponsor. Not really reading your mind, unless I am. 😉
  20. pushbrk
    Yes, or find a qualified joint sponsor.
  21. pushbrk
    AND, just to add, if the US Citizen Parent cannot pass citizenship at birth, they just petition the child for an IR2 visa. When they use the visa to come live with the USC parent, they are immediately citizens upon arrival. Pick the cat skinning method appropriate for the circumstances.
  22. pushbrk
    No. I think you mean he visits as a snowbird, but does not have a green card. Only Citizens or green card holders can be joint sponsors.
  23. pushbrk
    You do not need to file an I-864 for your spouse. You file the I-864W instead but I would also provide both your SS award letters as supporting documentation.
  24. pushbrk
    Evidence of buying the condo during the process, should be sufficient for the domicile question. Leaving without your wife is overkill. They are not going to "count" your equity in the primary home to offset any income shortfall. It's not considered a liquid asset. You either have enough income or you don't. If you do, you don't need your parents. If you don't, then one parent is the joint sponsor and the other parent is the joint sponsor's household member. Time to become an A-Student of the I-864 and it's separate instructions. Heed this from my signature too. Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious... Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous

    Statistics are meaningless to you then. If you're not worried about the affidavit of support, then you have no worries. Make sure you have evidence of your intent to re-establish domicile in the USA. Silly as it seems, the fact that you petitioned for and seek an immigrant visa for your spouse, isn't enough.
