  1. Study those instructions. Your "current income" will come from the "Total Income" line of your tax return. Your son counts in your household size. You only need to supply the latest tax return, but you will enter information from three tax returns. Seems you haven't even looked at the form yet. Becoming an A-Student of both the affidavit itself and it's separate excellent instructions will be critical to your ultimate success.
  2. There is no 90 day or 60 day rule anyway, but the fictional rules don't fit this situation anyway.
  3. Yeah, they don't work that fast, and they do take of all US and Chinese holidays.
  4. "Omission" is NOT a misrepresentation, and certainly not a material misrepresentation, if the person leaves as scheduled, or even later, but within the time granted. Again, it is not illegal to marry while in the USA. What's illegal is to overstay and what "may be perceived" as illegal "intent" is only applicable when adjusting status. I'm not implying or otherwise saying your advice was to volunteer information. It's just that you were not CLEAR about what direct question, would necessitate mentioning the wedding. I've been clear. If you meant the same, then great. No disagreement here. If asked for the purpose of her visit, "to visit my boyfriend" is currently still a truthful, concise answer, for next visit.
  5. I disagree. The reason is that it is perfectly legal to marry and leave. There has been no abuse. You are no more required to mention you will attend a wedding, even your own, than that you may visit a public library. A truthful more generic answer, coupled with a round trip ticket for a relatively short visit, is usually not a problem. If you've been saying you are visiting your boyfriend, then that is STILL true this time. (It won't be next time.) You need not disclose every activity on your itinerary. If specific questions are asked, then of course, you must give truthful answers, but failing to mention a wedding as part of a legitimate "visit" is no different than failing to mention going to a movie or library.
  6. Do they still have that original certified copy or do you?
  7. Yes, if true
  8. "Original Certified Copies" from King County would not be on A4 paper. They would be 8 1/2 X 11". Accuracy counts. Be accurate.
  9. As long as the country was correct, it is most likely a non-issue. Just be accurate during the NVC stage.
  10. There are "original" Certified copies and photocopies of Certified copies. Which did she have?
  11. What is the exact wording on the paper she was given? You are right, you cannot get the original, only a certified copy.
  12. That's the way we always used to do it when filing on paper. No reason why such an upload would not work. By the way, which language?
  13. Yes, they are aware. Definitely do not ever refer to anything like their next "play". That will not get you anywhere good. You can talk about what you've been through in this process without disrespecting any of the individuals involved.
  14. I find your post a great addition to the advice already give.
  15. If you include a letter, make it something positive about your relationship, including what she has done to contribute to your mutual happiness.
  16. Your time together will probably carry the day, but I was asking about things she's done that would be clear evidence to a Consular Officer, not just to you. I'm optimistic.
  17. You enter the total income number regardless, but that is just information. It's not how you qualify as sponsor. Your "current income" will come from a pay stub, as in 1k a week gross is 52k in current income.
  18. Unfortunate. It won't hurt to try to get NVC to DQ you without the certificate, but I wouldn't count on success.
  19. How much time have your spent together in person, before and after the marriage. How many trips before and after? The evidence you listed is all about efforts YOU made. Previously, they questioned HER intent, not yours. Yes, anything that made them think her intentions were primarily to get to the USA, will still be considered but your marriage and more time together in person will be mitigating factors. Are there some things about what SHE has done to show HER relationship is bona fide (on her part) that you haven't mentioned?
  20. What's the "hiccup" and why?
  21. Your wife is not going to get a visitor visa, so forget about that. If and when you are ready to live together in the USA, start a spouse visa process. Think in terms of an 18 month process, so plan ahead.
  22. Faster is only one of the factors to consider. First, the Philippines will not allow same sex marriages to be performed or recognized in the Philippines. You'll have to marry in a third country or by ZOOM marriage through Utah County (example) in order to BE married to start a spouse visa process. Once you are married, a fiancé visa is not a possibility. If you are NOT married, you cannot begin a spouse visa. If you have already met in person, you can start a fiancé visa now. You cannot start a spouse visa until you have married and then been together in person AFTER or DURING the ceremony, BEFORE you start the process.
  23. Enter your best estimated date. I don't have a printer now either, but I know where and how to get something printed when I need to. I'm sure you can figure it out.
