    Never heard of such a thing. Maybe restate your question.
  2. pushbrk
    Yes, and you will need to contact the Consular Immigrant Visa Unit directly to accomplish it.

    Ignore that message if you have stated and documented sufficient current income.
  4. pushbrk
    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.

    The provider matters. What you can do is entirely up to them.
  6. pushbrk
    In what you are calling an RFE, do you see the words "may" and "Consular Officer will decide"? What exactly was the wording?

    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.
  9. pushbrk
    "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.

    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.

    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.
  13. pushbrk
    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.
  14. pushbrk
    And I'm agreeing totally with how important time together. My disagreement was with a single sentence you wrote that was FALSE. Nothing more. Nothing less.
  15. pushbrk
    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.
  16. pushbrk
    If you need to update your I-864 with your latest tax return information, surely do so, but yes, you can ignore that message.
  17. pushbrk
    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?
  18. pushbrk
    As you carefully read instructions, pay special attention to words like "if", "and", "or" etc. They are there for a reason. Interpret literally and answer accurately. You asked about things that do not apply, based on missing an "if".
  19. pushbrk
    His attempts to get a student and visitor visa, will tend to counter your evidence of bona fide relationship. There is a very good chance that at least the fact he is seeking a fiancé visa, will become known by some of his associates, during the security check stage after the visa interview. Very possible YOUR name will be mentioned during the security check stage also.

    Not sure why you think they are at NVC stage. He asked about USCIS. Relationship evidence is definitely advised when filing the petition. It is mentioned in the instructions. "Meeting requirements" apply for proxy marriages and K1 visas only. If not a proxy marriage, the marriage certificate is all the evidence they need of legal and lawful marriage. The other evidence is about the relationship. Instructions list categories of evidence to add, and say the petitioner "should submit one or more....".
  21. pushbrk
    USCIS will not accept anything in Spanish without a certified translation. Boarding passes will be in English. Just translate the rental agreement. The rest you mentioned is not "evidence" or "proof" of anything. With boarding passes, you do not need useless itineraries. Later, at NVC stage, documents in Spanish are accepted.

    This notice should usually be ignored. It's just saying the number from the latest tax return is insufficient. Sounds like the income is mostly or all NOT taxable, so is documented with award letters from retirement income sources. Your wrinkle is that the affidavit is no longer up to date. If the father is unclear about survivor benefits, perhaps that will become clear well before the interview. If so, upload an updated affidavit of support from Dad. You did provide TWO I-864 forms, one from the Petitioner and one from the joint sponsor, right? Start over with new forms and see how the actual income looks now.
  23. pushbrk
    What did the review note say exactly? If you notice the words "may" and "Consular Officer will decided" just ignore it.
  24. pushbrk
    I recommend carrying original I-134 to the interview, and for the beneficiary to have a hard copy of everything with them for the interview.
  25. pushbrk
    Yes, LBC for Philippines if available. Otherwise DHL is fully reliable and less expensive than FedEx
