  1. What is the exact wording on the paper she was given? You are right, you cannot get the original, only a certified copy.
  2. That's the way we always used to do it when filing on paper. No reason why such an upload would not work. By the way, which language?
  3. Yes, they are aware. Definitely do not ever refer to anything like their next "play". That will not get you anywhere good. You can talk about what you've been through in this process without disrespecting any of the individuals involved.
  4. I find your post a great addition to the advice already give.
  5. If you include a letter, make it something positive about your relationship, including what she has done to contribute to your mutual happiness.
  6. Your time together will probably carry the day, but I was asking about things she's done that would be clear evidence to a Consular Officer, not just to you. I'm optimistic.
  7. You enter the total income number regardless, but that is just information. It's not how you qualify as sponsor. Your "current income" will come from a pay stub, as in 1k a week gross is 52k in current income.
  8. Unfortunate. It won't hurt to try to get NVC to DQ you without the certificate, but I wouldn't count on success.
  9. How much time have your spent together in person, before and after the marriage. How many trips before and after? The evidence you listed is all about efforts YOU made. Previously, they questioned HER intent, not yours. Yes, anything that made them think her intentions were primarily to get to the USA, will still be considered but your marriage and more time together in person will be mitigating factors. Are there some things about what SHE has done to show HER relationship is bona fide (on her part) that you haven't mentioned?
  10. What's the "hiccup" and why?
  11. Your wife is not going to get a visitor visa, so forget about that. If and when you are ready to live together in the USA, start a spouse visa process. Think in terms of an 18 month process, so plan ahead.
  12. Faster is only one of the factors to consider. First, the Philippines will not allow same sex marriages to be performed or recognized in the Philippines. You'll have to marry in a third country or by ZOOM marriage through Utah County (example) in order to BE married to start a spouse visa process. Once you are married, a fiancé visa is not a possibility. If you are NOT married, you cannot begin a spouse visa. If you have already met in person, you can start a fiancé visa now. You cannot start a spouse visa until you have married and then been together in person AFTER or DURING the ceremony, BEFORE you start the process.
  13. Enter your best estimated date. I don't have a printer now either, but I know where and how to get something printed when I need to. I'm sure you can figure it out.
  14. And just to be perfectly clear, the translation must be signed and "certified" by the translator. Even if the signed and certified translation is emailed as a PDF, the translator must print and sign. Anything needing a signature is going to be printed before it is scanned and uploaded.
  15. When you file the I-130 online, everything else will be "uploaded". If it needs to be signed, you print, sigh, scan and upload.
  16. CRBA will serve any purpose you need in this context. Marriage Certificate translations are on paper, already signed with scanned an uploaded, just like all the rest of your supporting documentation including the I-130a
  17. Correct. Send the letter to the address indicated on your receipt notice. You are withdrawing the petition. Include both full names and dates of birth AND the case number. It is not critical that this letter is received before the petition is received. You can send at the same time, but to two different addresses. Petition goes to different address of an intake facility, not to the actual service center where your existing petition is. Perhaps unneeded advice, but THIS TIME, become an A-Student of the forms and instructions before filing.
  18. Withdraw the first petition and file a new one. Then, it's no harm, no foul.
  19. Correction for spouse of US Citizen it takes 3 times the amount in liquid assets, not 5 times. So, if income is zero and the requirement is 25k in income, the minimum in liquid assets to offset the 100% income shortfall would be 75k. Don't expect the minimum in assets to carry the day though. A good chunk of that will be gone by the time the couple gets to the USA and finds a place to live. Consular Officers know and consider that.
  20. Your wife, as a self employed person (currently) will not be able to show any "income" until she files a 2024 tax return in 2025. If nothing has been filed yet, the I-864 is not likely to be needed until 2025 anyway. Time to do the homework. Wife needs to come here and click on the word "Guides" at the top of any page.
  21. E-filing is fine if the software will let you do it and you trust the software.
  22. You have or will sign your affidavit of support under penalty of perjury. The "or" in the instructions is there on purpose. Trust it.
