    Using "a website" does not assure anybody who is "very experienced" is going to be involved in your case. The discussion turned to this because....I....and others think it's irresponsible to tell strangers we know nothing about except that they found THIS website, "can do it themselves". You "opened' the discussion. It goes where it goes.

    No, but since this is a spouse visa forum, I asked the OP to clarify whether they are the USC petitioner or the foreign spouse.
  3. pushbrk
    Correct, but just as a point of discussion, if the US Citizen petitioner, is dealing with a financial hardship, such as cannot work because they have to be the caregiver for THEIR mother, it might be worth a shot. Slim chances though. If it's the mother of the foreign spouse, no chance at all. That's why I asked.
  4. pushbrk
    In short, no. You have posted in a spouse visa forum. Please clarify whether you are the US Citizen or the foreign spouse.

    Need the exact wording of what you read that makes you think they told you to get a joint sponsor. I'm going to predict it say "you may" with regard to the joint sponsor, and "Consular Officer will make the decision". If so, and your income is as you say it is, then ignore the message. I expect it's only your taxable income that's not enough and that your retirement income is tax free. You do not qualify based on a tax return. You qualify based on your current income, which should be documented with a declaration letter from your retirement source and a pay stub from your current employer. Did you state and document 193k of current income? (Tax returns are about the past.)

    I already told this OP, "If you're willing to do the homework, and pay attention to detail, I don't see any reason not to do it yourself." but the "ifs" mentioned entail far more than simply finding this website and asking question. If you don't do the homework, you don't know what you don't know, so you don't know what to ask. We see evidence very regularly of people who didn't do their homework and now they are dealing with the consequences.

    You don't know the aptitude, attitude, or motivation of this person. Whether they can do it themselves is dependent on those factors, not just that they can find the website on the internet.

    You would need to extend under a status that qualifies. If your status allows you to work, that's what you need.

    I don't know the process, but the UK to Australia seems not to be a problem. If they don't already know the how and how long, they need to look into it, for sure.

    Since the interview is "tomorrow" it may well be too late to deal with this before the interview. If they want a new one they will ask. In Islamabad, it will be at least several months between the interview date and the final visa decision, so plenty of time to obtain and submit a new birth certificate, if necessary.

    There really is more to whether you can/should do it yourself that you say. First, you have to do the homework before you know if your case is complicated or not. Then, you must have the attitude, aptitude, and motivation to do the homework, interpret accurately and answer accurately. Part of "aptitude" is the ability to "read carefully, and interpret literally". We se evidence of folks here every day who cannot or did not do even a C- job of any of that.

    The joint sponsor is not establishing a household that includes you. You are counted simply because you are the intending immigrant. That you plan to begin your life in the USA at the joint sponsor's house, is irrelevant. You will see nothing on the form or in the instructions that talks about establishing any household. Don't read thing in that are not there.

    USCIS definitely cares whether you've been together in person to consummate the marriage. That evidence MUST BE provided with the initial petition.
  15. pushbrk
    You haven't mentioned anything that's a red flag. If you're willing to do the homework, and pay attention to detail, I don't see any reason not to do it yourself.
  16. pushbrk
    Nothing at all. That's what I said. It's not "financial". It's just relationship evidence.
  17. pushbrk
    Use it to upload anything else. It doesn't say don't...
  18. pushbrk
    Being added to spouse's insurance is relationship evidence no matter in which country. Has nothing to do with the affidavit of support later.
  19. pushbrk
    exactly

    Looks like you've got enough liquid assets to carry the day. If you can also document you have a job to go back to, I don't see any issues. Enjoy your time in the Philippines. If you're ever near Dumaguete, look me up.

    Of course, there's a way to upload evidence. Works the same way as uploading the I-130a. You have that ready, right?
  22. pushbrk
    Answer "To Be Determined". That's what you enter in the intended address, first line.
  23. pushbrk
    You have things like passport stamps and boarding passes as primary evidence of the time you've spent together in person. Throw out that affidavit from your mother. Can't help and can hurt.
  24. pushbrk
    Have you looked at the I-864 and the separate instructions. You DO enter some information from past tax returns and supply at least the most recent one, at NVC stage. BUT, your current income is i a separate section, where you will correctly enter zero. Unless you've got well over three times the income requirement in cash, you will not qualify to sponsor your spouse, and will need a joint sponsor. Do you have around $100k in "liquid" assets sitting around? If not, bad plan unless you want to involve a joint sponsor who DOES qualify.

    Take everything you can think of.
