  1. Yes, the pay stubs should work fine, but your pay stub should also have been used to calculate your "current income". Current income, from the employed does NOT come from any tax return. Further AGI is not the number you use. While it is often the same number as Total Income, it is not always. AGI is the number used when you file a 1040 EZ, which you certainly did not, if you used the foreign income exclusion.
  2. While the submitted form remains valid, certain changes can disqualify the sponsor. Consular Officers very commonly ask for updated affidavits and supporting documentation. Not having already uploaded an updated affidavit, when there are significant changes, can cause delays of several weeks or months in visa issue. That's why I gave the advice I gave. It's based on current and past actual knowledge. OP is wise to follow the advice already given.
  3. She just shows the endorsed visa. Airline personnel know what is required to enter the USA. Take yes for an answer already. This ain't my or the other senior members responding's FIRST RODEO. OK?
  4. You keep reading thing in that are not there. She should NOT stay gone a year. Each entry is a judgment call. If she came in for a few days and left for 364 days, then she never made the US her place of residence at all. It's a temporary green card until the real one comes. It's certainly allowed to use the visa before it expires, and then return to resolve remaining affairs before returning to establish the USA as her permanent residence. She's also free to come and go, but being IN the USA more than OUT is the primary concern.
  5. She had until the expiration date to use the visa for a single entry. She entered on or before that date, so it is no longer relevant. What is relevant now is the one year from the entry date.
  6. I agree. The only situation I can think of where USCIS would be justified in asking for a Naturalization Certificate (when a US passport is in hand) is if they have actual reason to believe the passport is a forgery.
  7. I wouldn't like that suggestion, if I were you, but I don't see a problem with it.
  8. Yes, it would. In our case, this was probably not nearly as critical as the fact they let the immigrants keep the sealed packets unopened. Had to deliver them to the nearest office 150 miles away to be dealt with. Not I-551 as these were K3/4 visas at the time.
  9. My EX and her daughter's visa were stamped with the date August 39, 2006. Had to get that corrected.
  10. Not sure why you would think that. I suppose anything is possible, but the US Citizenship is already established with a copy of the passport. USCIS knows they issued a Naturalization certificate to that passport holder, when, where, and the number.
  11. No you are not. You are filing a petition. When it is approved, your wife will be invited to apply for a visa. It will not go faster by filing online except for the days it takes for DHL etc. to deliver to the USA. Either is fine. Not needed for the initial filing. No. No such thing for the USA anyway. Evidence of time spent together, like passport stamps, boarding passes, and photos together over time. None of this is required. I wouldn't bother with any of it. The above and below are in a list of possible items that appear after the words, "In addition to the required....." meaning NOT REQUIRED. Leave those out. Weakest possible evidence. That's the golden ticket In your situation, I would leave those out. Not needed with 13 visits. Not helpful. Don't include. Not needed. Your marriage certificate is sufficient. Irrelevant. See other answers inserted above.
  12. Current income for the employed, comes from a pay stub or/and an employer letter, NOT a tax return.
  13. Not a bad idea, but not a requirement for filing the I-130.
  14. There is no "The immigration site" in this context. You are dealing with two separate US Government agencies. You can find everything you need here to direct you through both agencies. USCIS does NOT ISSUE VISAS.
  15. Enter all zeros, then use your passport copy as evidence of US Citizenship. No worries.
  16. I said upload only AFTER you have the interview appointment. Below was my first answer. Once you have an interview date, complete and upload a new financial package with new I-864 and supporting documents. Your spouse can then give an updated address. No need to do a new DS 260.
  17. Exactly. Wait until you have the interview scheduled. Somebody mentioned them asking. They won't until the interview, but do it before anyway. Before interview but after you have the interview letter.
  18. You don't need a joint sponsor. If you did, living in their house is not a requirement. She has qualifying current income. Get that number from the employer letter, not a tax return. Chances are her income from all three tax returns will be stated as zero, due to the foreign income exclusion. That's not a problem. She's working in the US now.
  19. NO Just take an up to date pay stub from the joint sponsor. Do you really still need a joint sponsor?
  20. I gave you my advice already. If I thought it would be an issue, I would have given different advice. If you don't upload before the interview, you'll delay the visa issue. Give a new address at the interview is just fine.
  21. Passport stamps, and/or boarding passes, are the primary evidence of time together in person. Add some photos from each visit and relax.
