    Exact wording of what they are requesting please. That they want the passport back is a very good sign though.

    Number 13 here indicates I was wrong. https://www.ashoorilaw.com/blog/reentry-permit-faqs-your-most-common-questions-answered/
  3. pushbrk
    I believe that is correct. The permit is for an extended absence. Entering the USA would end the absence. Research more though. I'm not absolutely certain. My only experience is with people who are definitely going to be gone more than a year.

    After he immigrates to the USA, yes you can file for a Re-entry permit. He must wait until he receives it, or at least come back to get it before he departs for any lengthy absence. Note that any entry to the USA during the planned absence, is likely to invalidate the permit.

    He's already married. The 13a visa mentioned is for him, not her.

    It serves the purpose of informing you and any other reader, so you don't waste your time with a "State Senator".
  7. pushbrk
    While your assertion of 100% for K1 is technically correct, in practice it is not. Consular Officers know the I-864 comes next, so they don't typically issue visas unless the sponsor qualifies comfortably OVER the 125%. This is one of the situations where instructions don't match real life.
  8. pushbrk
    No real need to explain. This issues are not about whether they will approve your petition or not. It's all about making sure your fiancée is fully informed.
  9. pushbrk
    Just a note that your "State Senator" cannot be of assistance. You want the assistance of a member of the US Senator FROM your State's staff. US Senator, not State Senator.
  10. pushbrk
    Hmm. Maybe it's just a notice then.

    A little off topic, but you can own through inheritance, if your wife dies first. Not a pleasant thought, buy your non-Filipino heirs cannot inherit the property when YOU die.
  12. pushbrk
    Note that foreigners cannot own property in the Philippines, no matter what their visa is. You can buy a Condo no matter what visa, or you can use your money to buy property for a Filipino. Don't expect to find work. Plan to enjoy life together. ACR card must be applied for by tourists, between day 44 and day 58, whether you want it or think you need it or not. You won't get that second extension without applying for it. Enjoy

    Definitely, they are sending the passport back.
  14. pushbrk
    That's not necessary. As long as you are still pursuing the visa, the Consulate extends the validity of your petition approval, automatically. This is a non-issue. Note the petition does not expire. It's the approval that CAN expire.
  15. pushbrk
    And if you don't have any, get what's available.
  16. pushbrk
    The above is most likely correct. Please attach a copy of the notice she received. It will have the exact wording we can go by to provide meaningful advice. Remove any info that would identify either of you by name.
  17. pushbrk
    For whomever is ready, I want to add that the reason the exact wording is so important, is that such issues are often misinterpreted. Read the title of this thread. It's all a misinterpretation. The visa has not yet been issued, but it was not denied. The paper given does not say they cannot accept. That box isn't checked. This is a simple request for at tax return transcript, so they can properly evaluate the joint sponsor's affidavit of support. If nothing is amiss, this is simply a delay in issuing a visa.
  18. pushbrk
    Best when available, but complete tax return copies with all schedules are acceptable. For some, "Tax Return Transcripts" (There are multiple types of "tax transcripts".) are not readily available. The delay is mostly for complicated returns or pretty much any return filed by mail.
  19. pushbrk
    Yes, use your current legal name in the USA. They will understand the discrepancy. No issue there. To be clear though, you are filing an I-130 petition, to start an immigrant visa process for your spouse. Yes, once she obtains AND USES the visa to enter the USA, she will be entitled to a green card to signify her Lawful Permanent Resident Status, but a "Green Card" is not something either of you will ever "apply for".
  20. pushbrk
    So, that is what you do. If the Joint Sponsor is employed, include either the tax return transcript or (if not yet available) a complete copy of their federal tax return, including all schedules, W2, and 1099 forms. Also provide a recent pay stub. If self employed, it's unlikely there will be any pay stub. You mentioned a 1040. That's not a complete tax return for everybody, but even a 1040 without W2 and any 1099 forms is "incomplete".
  21. pushbrk
    What exactly is the wording of the paper she got. We can help you interpret it properly, only with the exact information.
  22. pushbrk
    It is qualifying income. That it appears on the total income line is evidenced by the tax return(s). You'll need some direct documentation from the trust to show the income is continuing. That should be pretty easy to obtain.
  23. pushbrk
    Since there isn't any documentation for this nickname, there really is no other option.
  24. pushbrk
    No, I would not recommend that, as your request may have re-routed the passport for delivery before she gets there. I would do two things. Keep checking for an updated status, and try contacting the IV unit to confirm they got the address and will send the passport. You could also contact the courier directly. Unfortunate mistakes, sometimes leave you in the dark.

    Pick-up location is either the same as the interview location or the people there can advise directly.
