Your post was read. An I-130 is filed to start an immigrant visa process. It is not an application for a green card. YOU made the error, not the people that are correcting you. Only AFTER the visa is both issued and used to enter the USA, will a green card come into play. You will never apply for a green card. When your I-130 petition is approved, your spouse will be invited to apply for a spouse visa.

They might. Did he stop using?

Getting married in America for CR1
pushbrk replied to MariusHeg's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
I will just add that if the lawyer doesn't know, then they are the wrong lawyer for this question. You are no more required to mention you will attend a wedding, even if it is your own, than you are to mention you will enter a public library or museum. The purpose of your visit need not include that. When asked, give a more generic answer that is true. If you have already come and gone from the USA without issues, don't expect any now. -
There are no "further instructions" coming. Follow the instructions by actually reading them first. All of them. The affidavit of support has its own step by step instructions. Become an A-Student of those instructions and the form itself. Did you file three petitions? One for wife, and one each for step daughters are required. Are all three petitions approved? If not, and you want them to immigrate together, wait to move forward until the other two petitions are approved.

cr1 invalidated?
pushbrk replied to mawhitecar's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You are probably at least a year from a visa. When does your employment contract end? Visas have expiration dates. They are valid up through the end of that date, meaning must enter by no later than the expiration date. That's enter the USA, not exit the home country. -
Unique situation
pushbrk replied to Mohsinnaqvi's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
I'll just add that there is no actual need for a letter from the IRS. When the time comes, she can just check a box that says she hasn't filed because her income has been below the filing threshold. Since the I-130 will show no employment history, this will come as no surprise, causing no confusion or questions at NVC or the Consulate. Yes, really. Yes, I'm sure. -
i864 - Spouse Beneficiary's US taxes?
pushbrk replied to anttof's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
It's very difficult to give proper guidance without sufficient information. If your income can be documented to continue when you are in the USA, then THAT income should be shown, and documentation provided showing it WILL continue. Usually, this is an offer letter or transfer letter from your current employer. You said you included "our foreign income". Only show the income that will continue. Who is who in the conversation? Whose income will continue, the petitioner, or the beneficiary. It seems "YOU" are the beneficiary. Please clarify. -
Did I miss something. Why have some concluded the beneficiary is female?

That's fine but it is also true that if the applicant does not attend the interview and does not pursue the visa any further, the case will be returned to USCIS and USCIS will just let the petition approval expire. More concerning to me is that you do not get an interview appointment without completing and submitting a DS 160. That's something the foreign spouse in this case (fiance(e) in the previous case) has actually done. So, it's not just a petition approval. They completed a visa application based on that approved petition, and paid an application fee. I wonder if the current spouse/petitioner knows that?
-
But there is a result. The petition has been approved, but no visa issued due to relationship ending. The question is about a petition not a visa. Edit to add. See my later post. This is more than just an approved petition. The visa application has also been submitted and application fee paid.
-
You can contact them through their website, or do nothing. More importantly, how did you deal with the question on the I-130 that asks if anybody has ever filed a petition for her before, and what was the result?

Vaccination requirements for DS260
pushbrk replied to AJ19962346's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
It's very likely you received vaccinations as an infant, and your parents just didn't mention it. It's so routine, it's understandable. They probably indicated in on your initial school enrollment. -
i864 - Spouse Beneficiary's US taxes?
pushbrk replied to anttof's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
It appears this message is prompted by you filing an incorrectly completed I-864. Complete and upload a new one that shows zero in all tax and current income fields. I expect that is also what you tax return states on the "total income" line. You are correct that no I-864a is needed from a beneficiary spouse of US Citizen, by you have confused them by your entering income improperly. You can only enter income you can use to qualify. Read that current income question carefully. 1. above seems to come from an different issue. Do you have children coming to the USA that are already citizens? If so, did you list them as immigrating, instead of just dependents? If so, that's incorrect. If not, just ignore that part. They are warning you, just in case. If you do have children coming with your spouse that are NOT US Citizens, but step children, they DO need their own petition. Please clarify. -
Use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to fill the form. You'll have problems with third party applications. If you read the question about your current income carefully, you'll see the phrase, "that you are using to....." So, since you can't use it, the number is zero. For the tax section, you enter the "total income" number, which may well also be zero. You then submit the last complete return copy or a tax return transcript. Since you are using a "joint sponsor" an I-864 for the one with the greater income and I-864a from their spouse. You do this whether they have income or not, and whether their income is needed or not. Read all questions carefully, interpret literally, and answer accurately. Study those I-864 instructions too.

I-864 RFE / MILITARY DISABILITY 100%
pushbrk replied to Camilahill's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Nothing at all is completed on this page. Check Employed as and state in the first blank, Disabled Veteran. Employer Name is US Veterans Administration. You mention later a K1 visa. This form is not used for a K-1 Visa. If you are already in the USA, using a K1 visa, are now married and adjusting status, you have posted in the wrong forum. You are adjusting status, not seeking a spouse visa. Please clarify. Also add the exact wording of the RFE.
