Nothing wrong with showing equity in a primary residence. It just won't be considered FULLY as it is NOT liquid. Consular Officers are trained to consider totality of circumstances though and having now mortgage payment, is certainly a major circumstance to be considered. This case is an investment property though, so IS considered liquid. Whether you LIKE the term HIJACK or not, what happened, is why your topic got split from the one hijacked. Your case got confused with another.

I see. That's why hijacking is not allowed.

You originally stated you used your father as a "household member" instead of a "joint sponsor". That would make your household size 3. I advised you to redo your financial package with your father as a joint sponsor, which would reduce both household sizes to two. So, are you trying to qualify on your own, with self employment income plus liquid assets? Please clarify.

Start by becoming an A-Student of the I-864 instructions and the form itself. Sounds like unless you have a big chunk of liquid assets, you'll need either a joint sponsor, her income to continue FROM THE SAME SOURCE, or her to move back to the USA and go to work. Guessing you'll soon wish you had asked this question long ago.

Online filing is a combination of an online form and uploading supporting documents. One supporting document is the I-130a. Start by becoming an A-Student of the I-130 instructions you can download and the paper form, can be a helpful guide in preparing. I still recommend filing on paper though unless you are living abroad. Less form glitches.

Yes, your spouse will be questioned upon entry. Bring all documents in carry-on luggage. Why would one leave anything like that behind. The questions will be answered from memory and knowledge. No worries.

Since it's not liquid anyway, Zillow might work if combined with evidence of the mortgage balance. Value is not enough. The issue is "equity". But still, wouldn't the solution I gave you solve the problem without bothering with assets? Why pay for an appraisal and/or add an non-liquid asset, instead of doing it the right way, and reducing the household size from 3 to 2?

No, it is not adequate and value is not the issue. The issue is equity, so you must disclose and document the mortgage balance. The instructions are there for a reason. Don't ignore the instructions that say that the assets that count must be liquid, and that a primary residence is NOT considered "liquid". Literal interpretation is the key. Don't engage in "convenient interpretation" in THIS process. You were well advised already what to do to solve the problem.

Since YOU do not do the PUTING, the short answer is no. If the country does that, it should be fine.

Except you cannot type "Not Applicable" in that part of the form. Actually, if she had no passport yet, the question is applicable and the answer is "NONE" or "No Passport". You can type that in one of the later blanks. If you cannot move forward without a passport number being entered, you enter all zeros. Now THAT information is "Not Applicable" to YOUR circumstances, but it could be to other readers.

Not an implication. The form asks a direct question. Answer it.

Your "current income" is how you qualify. For the "employed" current income does not come from a tax return. In that section state your current income from your job. Calculate it as your gross for a pay period, times the number of pay periods in a full year, ie: every two weeks is 26. Document the current income with a copy of that same pay stub. You will get a case not saying your income doesn't qualify and you MAY want to use a joint sponsor, BUT "the Consular Officer will decide...." Just ignore that message.

And always tell the truth. To not sign and then enter a date of signature would be to lie. Simple stuff.

Type Deceased.

Petitioner biometrics this early in a spouse visa case is VERY unusual. I've heard of a few times petitioners are called in to a local office for an "interview" prior to petition approval, but that's several months into the process. Just a biometrics appointment at this stage would seem to indicate the suspicion of something amiss. Often it's nothing but mistaken identity. Please let us know what it's about when you find out.

It really doesn't matter who does the typing as long as the correct data for the correct person, gets in the right places. But, in the end, it is only the petitioner that filing a petition and signing it. The OP only makes this all clear when he talks about his partner Naturalizing.

You do not "overcome" instructions. You follow the correct instructions from the correct source. From: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/HongKong.html Individuals residing outside Hong Kong: Applications should be made in writing to: The Commission of Police (Attn: EO CNCC) 14/F, Arsenal House Police Headquarters, 1 Arsenal Street Wan Chai, Hong Kong An applicant residing outside Hong Kong must submit the following items (please note that documents issued in languages other than Chinese or English, must be accompanied by an official transcript, in Chinese or English, endorsed either by the issuing authority or a certificated translation services body): his/her Hong Kong Identity Card or valid travel document; the original and a photocopy (for each applicant) of the letter from NVC which contains his/her name and the checklist of documents necessary for obtaining a visa (the one that references the need for police certificates); the original and photocopy of a document proving his/her relationship with the principal applicant for the visa if item #2 does not contain the applicant's name; a full set of the applicant's fingerprints taken and certified by a recognized and official police or law enforcement agency where the applicant currently resides. Certification of the fingerprints must clearly state: (i) the full name and rank of the person taking the prints, (ii) the full name of the police or law enforcement agency with their official chop; and (iii) the date and place the prints were taken. Prints that do not clearly show certification will be refused. Fingerprints taken by the applicant him/herself, a legal representative or private/commercial agency without authorization from overseas law enforcement agency or consulate are also unacceptable; a bank draft in the amount of HK$283 per person, made payable to "The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region." The draft must be payable in Hong Kong. A personal check in Hong Kong dollars, which is issued and authorized by any licensed banks in Hong Kong, is also acceptable. Please do not ask for a copy to be sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) as this could delay processing of your visa application. If an applicant is under investigation by the Hong Kong Police or is currently a defendant in criminal proceedings in Hong Kong or is subject to non-payment of fines including traffic offences, his/her application will not be further processed until the matter has been concluded.

You are overthinking again. Note that you are not the petitioner. The petitioner files the I-130. Petitioner uploads documents. If you want to add an explanation, put it in a separate letter. Your attachment is not according to the instructions, as you have altered it.

The reasoning is that USCIS already knows the original name of the person who changed their name upon Naturalizing. It's in their file. There simply IS no other record of the name change besides the N400 filed with USCIS to naturalize. Tell your partner, truth is truth on its own merits. Truth is not determined by consensus, or second opinions. By the same token, falsehood does not become truth because a second source confirms the falsehood.

Yes. Consular Report of Birth Abroad is a separate document. It's like a second birth certificate that evidences the child is a US Citizen, but it cannot be used as a travel document.

You need both of these. Document Name: Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) or singleness and CEMAR-“Advisory of Marriage(s)” Document Name: Annulment Decree

Because you must provide a receipt for filing the I-130 as a required supporting document when filing an I-129F for a spouse. That's the OP's plan anyway. The title of the thread does not match what they plan to do.

The procedure being sought is to have an adjudicator bring up both the I-130 and I-129F on their system, when they close the I-129F in favor of the I-130. Sometimes, when both files are up on their system anyway, they simply go ahead and approve the I-130. If they do, great. If they don't, nothing is lost. It's like placing a bet that costs only postage and some time. The odds are better than zero, so why not.

OP is not seeking a K3 visa. Seeking a faster I-130 approval, but this would not be a concurrent filing. In the old days, we would actually file both petitions in the same envelope, but that was when the actual K3 visa was viable.

Yes, as soon as possible. Sometimes it works to get a faster I-130 approval. I see no rhyme or reason to when it works and when it doesn't.
