    Unfortunate. It won't hurt to try to get NVC to DQ you without the certificate, but I wouldn't count on success.

    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?

    What's the "hiccup" and why?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    1. Unlikely 2. Yes, kind of.

    And just to be perfectly clear, the translation must be signed and "certified" by the translator. Even if the signed and certified translation is emailed as a PDF, the translator must print and sign. Anything needing a signature is going to be printed before it is scanned and uploaded.

    When you file the I-130 online, everything else will be "uploaded". If it needs to be signed, you print, sigh, scan and upload.

    Already answered in your other thread.

    CRBA will serve any purpose you need in this context. Marriage Certificate translations are on paper, already signed with scanned an uploaded, just like all the rest of your supporting documentation including the I-130a

    Correct. Send the letter to the address indicated on your receipt notice. You are withdrawing the petition. Include both full names and dates of birth AND the case number. It is not critical that this letter is received before the petition is received. You can send at the same time, but to two different addresses. Petition goes to different address of an intake facility, not to the actual service center where your existing petition is. Perhaps unneeded advice, but THIS TIME, become an A-Student of the forms and instructions before filing.

    Withdraw the first petition and file a new one. Then, it's no harm, no foul.

    Correction for spouse of US Citizen it takes 3 times the amount in liquid assets, not 5 times. So, if income is zero and the requirement is 25k in income, the minimum in liquid assets to offset the 100% income shortfall would be 75k. Don't expect the minimum in assets to carry the day though. A good chunk of that will be gone by the time the couple gets to the USA and finds a place to live. Consular Officers know and consider that.

    Your wife, as a self employed person (currently) will not be able to show any "income" until she files a 2024 tax return in 2025. If nothing has been filed yet, the I-864 is not likely to be needed until 2025 anyway. Time to do the homework. Wife needs to come here and click on the word "Guides" at the top of any page.

    E-filing is fine if the software will let you do it and you trust the software.
  17. pushbrk
    You have or will sign your affidavit of support under penalty of perjury. The "or" in the instructions is there on purpose. Trust it.
  18. pushbrk
    The document you submitted should be acceptable as it is in both languages. You have two choices. 1. Submit it again with a letter pointing out it is already in both languages. or 2. Get an English Translation made and submit that. You're not going to be able to talk your way out of respondin in one of those ways.
  19. pushbrk
    Correct but there are multiple transcripts. The "Tax RETURN Transcript" is the only accepted one.

    What is your actual concern with your case. A German marriage certificate issued in German and English is acceptable. Did you get an RFE, or are you concerned you may get and RFE for a different marriage certificate?
  21. pushbrk
    AN actual passport photo LIKE they will use. Yes, you'll bring more to the interview and medical exam later.
  22. pushbrk
    Yes, do it.
  23. pushbrk
    "Google says". You can't file early anyway. NVC will evaluate it within a month or so. When you are case complete at NVC, then is when you go into the queue for interview in Seoul. You are looking at an 18 to 24 month process, with the affidavit of support being filed about a year in.
  24. pushbrk
    You probably couldn't have anyway. Then go with my first answer. You cannot file the affidavit of support early. It doesn't go to USCIS in a spouse visa case anyway. It will be sent to National Visa Center, part of Dept. of State.
  25. pushbrk
    OK, but did you file directly with the Consulate or with USCIS?
