I-130/Proof Of Marriage (Merged)
pushbrk replied to mopekmez's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
This is not about language. It's about ALPHABET. Have her email you just her name in Devanagari script and you can paste it into the form. Her address is in the UK, so just type in the first address space, "Address is in UK". -
Changes since submitting DS-260, I-864
pushbrk replied to Karen2021's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Making life changes is not a problem. 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. -

I understand from your earlier response that was your interpretation. It MIGHT BE accurate. OP needs to clarify their question. -
Denied I130 due to Marriage Certifcate
pushbrk replied to vicko_164's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Your use of the word "they" is all encompassing, and inaccurate. Looks like you ran into ONE incompetent, and ONE who simply rubber stamped the other. Shameful, but not an "all of them" kind of thing. I would still get a new one, hoping the seal is fully legible. -
Denied I130 due to Marriage Certifcate
pushbrk replied to vicko_164's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
I can't see anything wrong with it at all. The seal is dry embossed and otherwise exactly as described. An "appeal" will take longer than filing again. I would still obtain a new certificate, and compare them before filing, or to have in case of another RFE. One minor detail is that the "signature" of the transcription clerk is just a printed initial and surname. No reason to believe that would be an issue, and it is not mentioned in your denial. -
Denied I130 due to Marriage Certifcate
pushbrk replied to vicko_164's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
USCIS adjudicators do this all day every day, and it is their job and training to pay attention to details. You keep talking about "original handed to me". That's not really the point. They said it didn't match what is described on the reciprocity table. You've seen a copy of that above. You responded with something they say doesn't match. Every denial is reviewed before the letter goes out. You'll need to file again. This time obtain a new certified copy of your marriage certificate and make sure it matches every detail mentioned in the reciprocity table. Accept that something is wrong or missing, even if you don't yet know what it is. This is the ONLY possible solution. Continuing to insist you have and sent the right document will get you nowhere. First thing to look for is what they already told you was missing, a "seal". If you still think your document should be accepted, then make a new copy, black out the the names of the couple and post it here. We/I will compare it to what the table says is required, and tell you what's wrong. -
That's correct, but to answer the direct question, no. To the OP though, do you mean your gross income was below the filing threshold, or below the foreign income exclusion, or below the minimum income required to sponsor? Minimum threshold for filing is very low. Please clarify. Either way, no, you do not need notarized letter, but you will still need to show concrete steps to indicate your intention to re-establish US Domicile at interview.

Never heard of such a thing. Maybe restate your question. -
Do I need to add asset on I-864 ?
pushbrk replied to AO2024's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You are going to qualify based on your current income, not any tax return. Current income is you gross pay for a pay period times the number of pay periods in a full year. Your updated affidavit should carry the day just fine. You can add your equity in your primary residence, but it will not actually be considered, as it does not fit their definition of "liquid" per the instructions. -
Background Check in Ireland
pushbrk replied to PatrickMcC's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Is this the procedure they followed? Procedure for Obtaining: Applicants for Police Certificates for the above mentioned purposes should make application in writing to the Superintendent in charge of the district wherein they reside, or formerly resided, in the Republic of Ireland. Information on how to request a Police Certificate, the district directory and the name of the Superintendent, is available on the www.garda.ie website. -
All true but not all is doom and gloom. The fact she's already visited three times without abusing her visa counts a lot on the positive side. We're just pointing out what are week and strong points in your explanation of her ties.

I864 Issue Regarding Income
pushbrk replied to HelloDKS's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
"Sufficient Liquid Assets" yes. What is sufficient is determined in part, by household size, which will still be three doing it that way. Can add those same assets to an I-864 showing a two person household instead of 3. -
Question on Form I-130 file online
pushbrk replied to tadisaus2's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
And members here are correctly telling you that your plan will KILL any chance of filing directly with the Consulate. If you have an urgent need to return to the USA yourself, you would be wise to contact the Consulate first, explain your need, and ask them to accept your I-130. If you don't have an urgent need to return to the USA, then follow your current plan. Your questions have been answered. Question 1 is YES 2 is answered YES 3. is irrelevant -
You don't need a letter from a lawyer to explain. You'll have a receipt notice. If she didn't have sufficient ties to Indonesia, she wouldn't have gotten the visa to begin with. A four month visit pretty much indicates she has no urgency to return to Indonesia. That she's in the process of immigrating to the USA, negates the assertion it is important for her to return to be with her family in Indonesia. I recommend a shorter planned visit with a return ticket date consistent with having a business to attend to. She'll bet a six month stamp anyway. If she decides to extend her stay, that's really no problem, as long as she doesn't try to come back too soon.

I864 Issue Regarding Income
pushbrk replied to HelloDKS's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Yes, the father CAN BE considered a household member, but since the petitioner has no income to combine with the father, it is more beneficial for the father to be the joint sponsor with a two person household instead of 3. I said there are two purposes. Combining income....OR....joint tax filing spouse. Fathers and daughters do not jointly file taxes, but it is possible Dad is claiming the petitioner as a dependent. I doubt it, since there probably are no taxes to reduce by doing so. -
I864 Issue Regarding Income
pushbrk replied to HelloDKS's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You thought wrong, if father's income is clearly enough for two people. I already told you what to do. No I-864a. Two I-864 forms, each having only two people in the household. I-864a is for two purposes. 1. Combining income. 2. Joint tax filing spouse. Presumably, Dad's income alone is sufficient for the two person household. Your wife has no income to combine with her father. The way you did it produces a three person income requirement. You would be wise to follow my advice to the letter. -
AGI or Gross income for CR-1
pushbrk replied to james Black's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You and I know that. Try convincing a skeptical potential joint sponsor of that, after they read the contract and understand it. I'm not a complete loner by any stretch, but before I even got serious with a potential foreign spouse, I checked out the financial requirements to make sure I qualified. If I hadn't, I would not have pursued the relationship. -
I864 Issue Regarding Income
pushbrk replied to HelloDKS's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
OK. That was the wrong way to do it anyway. Your wife should do an I-864 with only you and her as a two person household. Then, Dad provides his own I-864 with only you and him as a two person household. Will that put his income comfortably above the requirement for two people?
