They should match. Check your copy of the I-130 you already filed.

Everything about your case will be "scrutinized", but if you are honest, above board, and present evidence you were together in person, during the marriage OR after and before filing the I-130, nothing at all to worry about on that score.

Lots of us knew about proxy marriages, and I understood what a double proxy marriage was. What I didn't know was about the Montana difference, or for certain, what exactly the OP meant when using the term, "double proxy marriage". Assuming the term was used correctly, they need to fire the attorney.

I guess I can see why you might think that, but many retired or disabled folks with plenty of income live in the Philippines. Most of the ones I know here, would not need a joint sponsor.

You won't be physically sending anything to NVC.

I see no reason to assume a joint sponsor will be needed. Besides planning to relocate to the USA, what plans matter?

Enter "To be Determined"

Not an issue.

So, if I understand you correctly, you are saying that since he is in the military and only because of either that or he's already a resident of Montana, the double proxy marriage is accepted by USCIS and The Consulates, once it has been consummated? If so, his lawyer must simply be unaware of this. I certainly was.

OK, that's not a problem. The totality of circumstances would also include your age, his age, and his earning capability, based on his past employment experience, and the country he's coming from. Trying to help you understand here, but the reality is, what you need to understand is that a well qualified joint sponsor is required. What is the exact wording the goes with the mention of a joint sponsor? Leave out any names. Knowing that may or may not help.

Correct, but you do not have a choice of Consular Officer or Consulate. I said you're income is above the minimum. It is for everywhere but Alaska or Hawaii, but other places with high cost of living are more unofficially considered. In what State do you live?

If your survivor benefits were clearly stated and documented in your affidavit of support, then they WERE considered along with everything else, including where you live. The fact remains, meeting the minimum is not a guarantee. Your income is marginal, and a judgment call has been made. You overcome this only with a joint sponsor. No qualified joint sponsor, means no visa.

Correct. I'll add that this decision on "public charge" is always a judgement call. The income is above the minimum, but that is no guarantee.

I understand what a double proxy marriage is. I'm asking exactly what HE means by it and a couple other questions.

What is your current income now? Do you still have the job? 2022 is the past. You do not qualify using 2022 income. Current income from a job, is calculated by multiplying your gross pay for a full pay period, times the number of pay periods in a full year. $14k would be about $ 540 every two weeks If you are still employed making the same, they your income is about 29k. How many in your household? Will the survivor benefits continue if you remarry? The equity in your primary residence is not considered liquid. While it is a part of your overall financial picture, or "totality of circumstances" it is not considered available to cover any income shortfall.

No. If it's all the same company, just list the company, start date, and current occupation. Note that occupation and title are not always the same thing. For example, MD is enough. No need to enter Pediatrician unless you want to. Surgeon, is fine even if you are chief of thoracic surgery. RN is fine. No need to enter more "titles".

Both the original in Urdu AND the certified translations.

If your email didn't include your both your full names and the case number, then perhaps you did waste 2 weeks.

Evidence of name change is his Naturalization Certificate. His Peruvian Birth Certificate and passport are not needed. In the other names used fields enter his original name. If you know your Father's information enter it. If something is not known, enter "Unknown". Yes, it really is that simple. You the beneficiary, have a spouse. In this case it is the petitioner. Enter the petitioner's information there and select spouse. If beneficiary has no prior marriages, enter "Not Applicable" or "NONE" First, understand that the petitioner is the one who files the I-130 petition. While it doesn't matter who is doing the typing, you must keep straight who is who. See answers inserted above.

Please explain exactly what you mean by "double proxy marriage", including which government jurisdiction did the marriage.

Need to know that, and whether you are employed or self employed. Can't understand the problem without more complete information. If you have W2, then you are employed, so really need more details. Did you have some losses, or other deductions that took the "total income" number lower? Do you still have the job? What is your current income, and how did you calculate and document it?

Usually the Green card comes about about a month after after the entry, or a that after the new immigrant found fee of $220 is paid, whether whichever is later. Did you have the fee?

Not for US immigration. The foreign spouse uses the name in the passport. The petitioner uses the name she ended up with after the change. In the USA, name changes start with Social Security, not the State, but yeah, you cannot change your first name based on marriage alone.

Yes, and on the DS 260. When you start using your married name in real life is up to you. No need to make any change with USCIS.

Depends on your handwriting skill compared to your typing aptitude. Sometimes there's no choice but to do some things by hand, but the form works quite well if you use Acrobat or Adobe reader. Sucks if you try to fill it with most other apps.
