    Rely on the actual I-130 instructions PDF instead. It is specific about the documents needed for the US Citizen. It's photocopy of a certified copy. Do you have a certified copy? If you don't know, look at it carefully and be sure. I'm not an expert on the online process, because I know it has its glitches. Like I said, I prefer paper filing, and that's why. In my opinion, there are still to many issues with the online form. USCIS is familiar with those issues though, and how to compensate. Were you able to leave that entry information blank?

    Did you seek your I-94 here? https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home

    Try just leaving those blank and proceed with 47. If that doesn't work try typing zeros. This is another reason why I still prefer the paper forms.

    Without an attorney is one thing. Without reading the instructions is another thing entirely.

    Unfortunately, "was told" is a well known source of misinformation. The correct source is the I-130 instructions. Time to become an A-Student of those instructions, file the other two petitions, and wait another year or so, for them to be approved. Then, you proceed with all three at NVC. In the meantime, stay in contact with NVC to keep your wife's case open. They need something from you at least once a year. If you were a green card holder instead of a US Citizen, you could have filed just one petition. Your failure to study the actual instructions, put you in the place you are. Don't make that same mistake twice.

    Your post was read. An I-130 is filed to start an immigrant visa process. It is not an application for a green card. YOU made the error, not the people that are correcting you. Only AFTER the visa is both issued and used to enter the USA, will a green card come into play. You will never apply for a green card. When your I-130 petition is approved, your spouse will be invited to apply for a spouse visa.

    They might. Did he stop using?

    I will just add that if the lawyer doesn't know, then they are the wrong lawyer for this question. You are no more required to mention you will attend a wedding, even if it is your own, than you are to mention you will enter a public library or museum. The purpose of your visit need not include that. When asked, give a more generic answer that is true. If you have already come and gone from the USA without issues, don't expect any now.

    There are no "further instructions" coming. Follow the instructions by actually reading them first. All of them. The affidavit of support has its own step by step instructions. Become an A-Student of those instructions and the form itself. Did you file three petitions? One for wife, and one each for step daughters are required. Are all three petitions approved? If not, and you want them to immigrate together, wait to move forward until the other two petitions are approved.

    "Divorced" is not a US tax filing status. He probably filed as "single". Many do that with no consequences. However, he could have filed on paper instead of online, using the status "Married filing separately", so there.....WAS/IS.... a "way". My opinion is don't worry about it.

    If you have an interview, the passport photos needed at the NVC stage have already been upload. You'll need at least 4 more that you will carry to both the medical exam and the interview. They can be additional prints of the same photo that was uploaded.

    For foreign spouse. Police report is good for two years now.

    You probably put more than you lived in the Philippines. Hopefully, they will see your address was the same for a time.

    The US citizen's criminal record has no bearing unless there's a sex crime against a child. None of this is even asked about in a spouse case. It's asked about in a fiancé visa case, but that's only to assure the foreign fiancé is fully informed about it.
  15. pushbrk
    Just for clarity, it is the approval of the I-129F that expires after four month of no further action. Yes, you ARE asked about previous petitions filed. Answer simply and honestly.
  16. pushbrk
    You are probably at least a year from a visa. When does your employment contract end? Visas have expiration dates. They are valid up through the end of that date, meaning must enter by no later than the expiration date. That's enter the USA, not exit the home country.
  17. pushbrk
    Entry and exit stamps in your passport are the best evidence. You've also already declared your physical address history to include where you lived during those two years. Right? Should have been included with the initial petition. Was it?
  18. pushbrk
    Just provide the CRBA and evidence you lived together for two years. You won't need anything else.
  19. pushbrk
    No, they would not have DQ'd you if they needed anything else. If you're confident your current income is sufficient, simply ignore the case note. It...IS...because of the tax return. Operative word is "may".
  20. pushbrk
    I'll just add that there is no actual need for a letter from the IRS. When the time comes, she can just check a box that says she hasn't filed because her income has been below the filing threshold. Since the I-130 will show no employment history, this will come as no surprise, causing no confusion or questions at NVC or the Consulate. Yes, really. Yes, I'm sure.

    It's very difficult to give proper guidance without sufficient information. If your income can be documented to continue when you are in the USA, then THAT income should be shown, and documentation provided showing it WILL continue. Usually, this is an offer letter or transfer letter from your current employer. You said you included "our foreign income". Only show the income that will continue. Who is who in the conversation? Whose income will continue, the petitioner, or the beneficiary. It seems "YOU" are the beneficiary. Please clarify.
  22. pushbrk
    Did I miss something. Why have some concluded the beneficiary is female?
  23. pushbrk
    That's fine but it is also true that if the applicant does not attend the interview and does not pursue the visa any further, the case will be returned to USCIS and USCIS will just let the petition approval expire. More concerning to me is that you do not get an interview appointment without completing and submitting a DS 160. That's something the foreign spouse in this case (fiance(e) in the previous case) has actually done. So, it's not just a petition approval. They completed a visa application based on that approved petition, and paid an application fee. I wonder if the current spouse/petitioner knows that?
  24. pushbrk
    But there is a result. The petition has been approved, but no visa issued due to relationship ending. The question is about a petition not a visa. Edit to add. See my later post. This is more than just an approved petition. The visa application has also been submitted and application fee paid.
  25. pushbrk
    You can contact them through their website, or do nothing. More importantly, how did you deal with the question on the I-130 that asks if anybody has ever filed a petition for her before, and what was the result?
