    My only experience is with using somebody who has direct access to a family book. Maybe a former co-worker could recommend an attorney. What you want is a police certificate, translated by the Notarial Office.
  2. pushbrk
    Most likely no longer an issue, if you are already documentarily qualified. 😉

    It is not normal for the US Citizen petitioner to be called in for biometrics. It happens when there is a "hit" (bad thing) on your name, and they are ruling you in or out as that person. For your mental well being, I suggest you stop checking status. The times are meaningless.

    This is a non-issue. Just use the new address going forward.

    The question is not about a joint sponsor. In this situation, it is appropriate to combine income with a household member, BECAUSE neither of them qualify on their own. Circumstances matter.
  6. pushbrk
    Yes, it is possible to use your mother, who is also a household member. Since neither of you qualify on your own, combining income is appropriate. You will need to explain that the grandchildren are no longer dependents and hope they accept that.
  7. pushbrk
    Yes, that is certainly one of the considerations. So, why do you not just hire a caregiver to be there in your absence? It is also a hardship to all of you, if you lose your job because of this. Lots to consider, including other solutions.
  8. pushbrk
    Petitioner is the husband.
  9. pushbrk
    You could try, but I doubt you would be successful. Expedites are not fast anyway. You don't mention how soon this conference is, or whether the money invested is yours. The obvious solution is to hire a caregiver temporarily. You also don't mention whether your extended stay in Nigeria, will impact your qualifications as a sponsor. I presume you are able to work remotely. "I prefer not to hire a caregiver" is not a valid reason for an expedite. It's also presumable that your wife and child is not going to attend this business conference with you, so you will not be taking care of either of them during the conference.

    I will just add that "sending the petition" is not the issue. If you didn't wait until you were free to marry, then your marriage is not valid. Once you have a valid marriage between two people who were free to marry when they married, THAT is when you can "send the petition".

    Not familiar with the term FBAR. Wait until the interview is scheduled before uploading any updates. If you are using liquid assets to qualify, you must document them.
  12. pushbrk
    Yes, this wording describes an option. If you have plenty of liquid assets and have already declared and documented them, just upload updated information prior to the interview.
  13. pushbrk
    If it's well over 3 times, and liquid, you wouldn't need a joint sponsor. If not, you might be able to withdraw the joint sponsor during the interview, but providing an updated affidavit of support based on the new income from a US job.
  14. pushbrk
    To proceed now, will require a qualified joint sponsor.

    First, what is the exact wording of whatever makes you think you have not met the financial criteria?
  16. pushbrk
    Start with the Guide, then study the I-130 and it's excellent separate instructions. Unless there's a sex crime against a child, the criminal record is not really relevant.
  17. pushbrk
    Yes, that is correct. Read that question again, and you'll find the words "you are using to qualify...". Since you can't use it, the number is currently zero. Why not wait to submit the affidavit until she has a pay stub from the new American job. The numbers in the tax section will still be zero, but the current income number will be her new annualized pay.
  18. pushbrk
    One is enough. As a teacher, you will also have a contract. Right? The trick is to remove the joint sponsor you used to get through NVC to begin with.
  19. pushbrk
    "Someone had told me" is a well known source of misinformation. The words Death and Divorce both start with D, so best to be clear in your communication. I advise you to follow the advice I gave you in my first response. Count on ME as a reliable source.
  20. pushbrk
    Unless the spouse is coming from India, the current income documented with a single pay stub, will carry the day. You will get a case note from NVC seeming to suggest a joint sponsor, but just ignore than in your situation. State your current annual salary as your current household income in the appropriate section of the affidavit.
  21. pushbrk
    Yes, paying a fine is because of a "charge". Traffic tickets don't count in this context, but they all have charges written on the "ticket". Charges are things like failure to stop, speeding, negligent driving, reckless driving, etc.

    Number 9 above is a very bad idea. The US Citizen sending money to the Philippines is not evidence of commingled finances. It can hurt, and doesn't help. Much of the rest won't be possible. They did not just ask for financial evidence. It's a laundry list. In this situation, it's best to concentrate on evidence of time spent together in person.
  23. pushbrk
    You write the one sentence in the available space under where you would otherwise enter federal tax return numbers.
  24. pushbrk
    The I-130 instructions tell you what to send in. If "DC" is Divorce Certificate, that is needed for you spouse but not a second on in the child's package. Marriage certificate between you and the child's mother, combined with the BC showing your wife is the child's mother, is exactly what is needed. Other relationship evidence is about showing your relationship with your wife is more than just legal, but also bona fide.

    Leave blank. Indicate "live in Puerto Rico" hand written as the reason, but provide the most recent tax return transcript anyway. What's most important is evidence of current income I mentioned earlier.
