    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.
  2. pushbrk
    And if you don't have any, get what's available.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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".

    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".

    What exactly is the wording of the paper she got. We can help you interpret it properly, only with the exact information.
  9. 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.
  10. pushbrk
    Since there isn't any documentation for this nickname, there really is no other option.
  11. 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.
  13. pushbrk
    Brash or not, he point was made. That's my priority. You can ask the landlord to change the locks at your expense.
  14. pushbrk
    In this situation, she should print by hand in the space available under the tax information section, "2021 income below filing threshold." and leave the amount blank.

    Click on this for the correct "Guide". A moderator will move your post to the correct forum, as you are not seeking a visa. I will add that your dates are an issue. Don't expect allowances to be made for you. If your wedding plans don't fit your immigration needs, adjust your plans. One option would be to have a simple civil wedding earlier, and keep any celebration plans intact.
  16. pushbrk
    Above is the correct answer. So change your locks. If that's not enough, stay away from your house. This is not grounds to expedite your visa. It's a problem for YOU to solve.
  17. pushbrk
    Your mistake was that you did not mention this other name was only a nickname. Now you get to explain that clearly and succinctly in a letter, as there is no other official evidence. If there is something showing like Facebook profile page with a his photo and nickname together, you could provide a clear color copy of that as backup to your letter. For example is William Jennings Bryan goes by Bill, it's not really an issue. If that same person uses the nickname "Cheeky Boy" it's a bit more complicated.
  18. pushbrk
    If she has liquid assets, she can enter them, but it is not necessary. Yes, her current income is zero. That's one of the reasons she is not "combining" income with anybody. She has nothing to combine. All the qualifying income is from the parents.
  19. pushbrk
    Do you mean you filed an I-130 petition and went through a spouse visa process? That's not the same as applying for a green card. Your timeline matches a spouse visa process from 2011. Details matter. So does terminology. Using correct terminology avoids confusing new members.
  20. pushbrk
    No. It's not an address change. You are simply using the new address as the current address on your I-864 form, and as the immigrant's intended address on their visa application.
  21. pushbrk
    Looks correct to me, assuming MIL/FIL have one dependent child.
  22. pushbrk
    The cost of documents (supporting documents) is minor, and varies with the country, State, or document. No need to update addresses with USCIS. If the address changes, use the new address at the NVC stage. For the petitioner, be certain to file any applicable change of address forms with USPS. If you want to know about other costs, like filing fees etc. please clarify.
  23. pushbrk
    Your wife is not combining income with anybody.
  24. pushbrk
    Yes, IR2 visa. Check with the Consulate's website about DCF filing. It's usually only available in certain exceptional circumstances though.

    Reading through this, I want to clarify that one of the parents is the joint sponsor. The other parent is the joint sponsor's household member. That they are also the petitioner's parent has no impact. Their individual income is their individual income. It seems THEY know what that number is, but yes, if the joint sponsor is both employed and self employed, then their current income is what their business or businesses taxable income was last year, plus the employment income. The household member being self employed, states their current income as whatever their portion of the total income was for 2023. As long as those two individual numbers add up to the "total income" number on the 2023 tax return, it will be fine.
