  1. Yeah, no need to mess with the Consular Unit. Deal with it at or after US Entry. The ten year green card is not determined by what the visa says. It's the entry date that matters. Yes, it was a mistake, but NOW is not the time to correct it.
  2. I agree their time together in person is critical, but your assertion of a "within two years" requirement to file an I-130 still needed to be corrected.
  3. The petitioner is the primary sponsor, but does not count in her father's household, even if she lives there. (Unless he's claiming her as a dependent on his tax return). What exactly did you read that lead you to think you were informed your joint sponsor does not meet the sponsorship income requirements? Did your wife complete an I-864 with her parent or parents as HER household members?
  4. I get your point. I'm also self employed. However, typing the words "joint sponsor" is "easy". Finding one you are willing to ask to obligate themselves to what seems a pretty daunting contract, is not so easy, particularly for we independent and proud types.
  5. Good chance you can't add a non-resident, and in most cases, that would be very expensive. Each plan has its own rules and policies. I was able to add my spouse to a corporate plan based on her arrival using a K3 visa in combination with a marriage certificate. Some plans won't add without a SS number. It's not that they "can't". It's just their policy.
  6. Yes, and opens the same can of worms, with little chance of success.
  7. There is no requirement to have been together in person in the last two years, for a spouse case. That's for a fiancée case. Time together in person is important to show a bona fide relationship, surely, but no two year requirement in this context.
  8. You seem to be asking if filing the I-130 will impact your UK citizenship process. This forum is not full of experts on that subject. Your UK citizenship process will not impact the US immigration process though. From the US side, I know lots of people seek US Citizenship for their foreign spouse, precisely so that they can become expats elsewhere without worries of losing a green card and the ability to visit or return to the USA. Don't know why the UK would care about your future intentions, if you qualify for citizenship now.
  9. It's not a matter of "desperate". Most expedite requests are. The issue is that the beneficiary has entered into the marriage for an immigration benefit related to their mother, instead of a bona fide relationship with the petitioner.
  10. Without adequate information, we cannot advise you properly. So....follow the five steps.
  11. Consulates don't use the local post office. It will be a courier.
  12. NO. The "mailbox" is not the issue. If they have "mail" or courier deliveries, he has an address. It may not be what you're used to, but they have something that works. My road doesn't have a name. My address is Red Gate yellow house, small area name, district, town, province, country, postal code. It's an address. I get deliveries here often. You already used the foreign address on the I-130, RIGHT?
  13. Your interview will be scheduled by the National Visa Center. You must have the interview letter (email) from NVC, before you can schedule the medical. You would have already submitted your PCC to NVC. What is your status at NVC?
  14. If he has a history of short visits, then visiting during an ongoing immigrant visa process, is of little concern to CBP officers.
  15. The I-864 is the most complicated form in the process. It is even more complicated when using a joint sponsor. We are here to answer questions, but there is no substitute for the instructions. There are more requirements for joint sponsoring and additional supporting documents for joint sponsors, clearly spelled out in the instructions.
  16. Yes, you can use any bank account. What you need is a "joint sponsor". Who can BE that, is spelled out clearly in the I-864 instructions you MUST become an A Student of. I would add that the joint sponsor is best to be somebody who would be motivated to actually provide support, it needed. If they are married, their spouse should also provide an I-864a.
  17. "You can try" anything, but trying this is more likely to bring the validity of the marriage relationship into question, than to have any positive result. There ARE cases where "trying" CAN hurt. In most cases, no harm, but in this case, there's a good chance it COULD do harm, particularly if this is a new marriage.
  18. Chances of the Pakistani spouse of a US Citizen, obtaining a visitor visa during an immigrant visa process, are worse than slim or none. They are simply NONE. You'll be doing the visiting. Best case, maybe you meet in third country.
  19. Looks like you'll be facing some extended separation while she is not employed. Where she lives and how she is supported during that separation is something you will have to work out. How tough that will be depends on your circumstances. I think it would be futile to apply for a B visa. She can visit using ESTA, if she hasn't already abused that privilege by spending more time in the USA than out. She may well be able to visit more than once, depending on timing. You have some choices to make regarding her lodging and employment, but those choices are unlikely to be solved by her being in the USA for any extended time.
  20. Thanks. So if you stated and documented your current income with pay stub and declaration letters, just ignore that message. It is sent anytime "taxable income" is below the minimum on the latest tax return. Keywords here are "may be submitted" and "Consular Officer will decide". See bold above.
  21. With the I-130, yes. Your question indicates you have not yet studied the I-130 instructions. Doing so, will be critical to your ultimate success.
  22. Two separate forms. Start by studying those I-864 instructions.
