    If you paid the AOS fee of 120 and cannot pay it for the children, they are already connected. If it will let you pay that fee for either child, don't pay. Call or email to get them connected. Do not proceed one at a time.

    She will be asked, and should answer truthfully. She should bring her applicable medical records for the panel physician to see.

    You give NVC everything they ask for, whether sent before or not. There are no "cosponsors". You mean "Joint Sponsor". Now is the time to become an A-Student of the I-864 and its excellent instructions. Study carefully. Interpret literally. If the joint sponsor is married filing a joint tax return, then their spouse should also provide an I-864a, whether they have income or not and whether their income is needed or not. It's not just about income. It's a contract.

    Make sure the cases are connected and processed together at NVC. If you get your wife's visa first, it will expire before the children get there's.

    OP said "more than enough". Good enough for me.

    This is a common message anybody gets if their last tax return doesn't show qualifying income. If you are confident you have qualifying CURRENT INCOME, simply ignore the message. It is a suggestion, not a request or requirement.

    The first answer you got covers consummation issue but the above does not. Above is all very good information, but if you do the online/proxy/Utah marriage, you must be together with your spouse AFTER or DURING the ceremony and show evidence of that when filing the initial petition. In short, one visit only BEFORE the marriage, is not enough to start the process. Since you'll be dealing with a Consulate that sees a high level of US Immigration fraud, the strongest evidence you have a bona fide (not just legal for immigration purposes) marriage is the evidence of the time you spend together in person. If your goal is to minimize travel and time together, you need to change that goal.

    Nothing in that link indicates the man ever held a US passport. What's your point? I said all a person needs is a US passport. Did this guy have one?

    And since she lives in Japan, no documents from the Philippines will be needed except birth certificate and police report. If a CENOMAR is asked for, it will show here having no marriages in the Philippines. Might be a good idea to get one of those, just in case. Comes from the same place she gets her birth certificate, the Philippine Statistics Authority. (Formerly National Statistics Office)

    Second this. Go to the source.

    Consular Officer cannot see documents that have not been submitted. Submit them.

    You don't need somebody following the same path. What you need is the correct answers and procedures. See the anonymous quote in my signature.

    Your tax preparer would be able to explain. If you didn't use one, find one who can explain.

    Maybe they know what a medicaid waiver is and maybe they don't. Is it an actual "expense" your incurred, or just some kind of allowance that has not direct cost (to you) associated with it. If THEY don't know (not required to be tax experts) then you'll need an explanation they can understand. It's not enough to be right. They have to understand WHY you are right.

    No. Crew visas go through the non-immigrant visa unit. Spouse visas go through the Immigrant Visa Unit. Only one immigrant visa unit in UAE. Is there more than one non-immigrant visa unit? I don't know, but no, they cannot be combined.

    Married is married. If not, what a mess the world would be. There's getting married, and there are "celebrations". There are also proxy marriages, where the couple is separate locations when the marriage occurs.

    I meant the OP would be picking and choosing if they think equity in the primary residence will work for the I-864. It's really only confusing if one picks and chooses or interprets conveniently (to their agenda).
  18. pushbrk
    You're not paying attention. They know you have a W2 income. They also know that it was fully wiped out to be zero, last year. Why will that not happen again this next year. Explain so it can be understood. If it WILL happen again, explain why they should consider all your earned income to be available to support your family. Explain...WHY
  19. pushbrk
    Totality of circumstances. I don't find your explanation "plausible" because there is no why to go with the "will not".
  20. pushbrk
    And why will this be different for you in 2024?
  21. pushbrk
    You are interpreting "conveniently" instead of "literally". Having to sell your primary home to support your family is considered a hardship to the sponsor. Must be able to be converted to cash within a year without causing a hardship to the sponsor. You don't get to pick and choose which parts to pay attention to and which not to. The Consular Officer will make that decision based on the totality of circumstances. Even if you sell the house before relocating to the USA, the officer knows lots of that equity will be spent relocating.

    That is not an explanation. You know the nature of the loss. You also know why it is a one time thing, if it is. That is what you must explain. The actual schedule one of the tax return, most likely says at least a little bit more about it.
  23. pushbrk
    You'll need to describe the nature of the loss, AND why it was a one time thing. Not here, but in writing so your spouse can take it to the interview. The loss is evidently described or categorized on schedule 1 of the return.
  24. pushbrk
    Time to become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions that make it clear that equity in your primary residence is not considered "liquid". Can you work remotely for a US employer?
  25. pushbrk
    I'm not questioning whether you did your current tax return correctly and neither will they. The question is, "What is that LOSS, and will you have a similar one next year?"
