  1. For the self employed, your "current income" is the "total income" number from your most recently filed federal tax return. You cannot qualify using any other evidence, unless it is with "liquid assets" 5 times the income shortfall. You say you are making enough money now. If that means your 2023 total income line will show qualifying income, then file that return as soon as possible, and then use the total income on that return as the current income on your new filing.
  2. Won't help or hurt the process, but she can just use the married name at the NVC stage onward. She will need to get a new passport in the married name, so the visa and green card can be issued in the married name. NOT doing that will complicate using the married name in the USA.
  3. You have good answers about domicile. Have you sorted out how your wife is going to qualify to sponsor you, without either of you having a job in the USA? Joint sponsor? Liquid assets?
  4. A lot of homework. Subject matter is "waiver of COVID vaccine for US Immigrant visa".
  5. Your best relationship evidence is evidence of time spent together in person, not texts. When the time comes for the affidavit of support (in a year or so) if you have documentation from your employer that your income will continue from the same source, then yes, your income can be used to qualify to "effectively" self sponsor. You wife is the sponsor but qualifies using your income.
  6. You are updating your "mailing address". That, and/or establishing a forwarding to that address with the post office is how you avoid missing an RFE.
  7. It is what it is, which simply "is". So, "possible". Could be faster, but no guarantee. Marry, file now, and upgrade after Naturalization. Should save a year or more.
  8. For 2, according to you, you filed no tax returns in the past three years, because you had no income. Based on that, I gave the proper advice already. Documents that never existed, are not "unavailable". They don't exist.
  9. 1. No 2. Just check the box that says your income was below the filing threshold. 3. No positive guarantees. Not having a qualified sponsor guarantees NO visa. 4. If your wife has actual evidence her income will continue from the same source, then do that instead of having a joint sponsor sign a binding contract. The affidavit of support is not just about showing somebody is qualified. You graduated law school. Would you advise signing that contract if it wasn't absolutely necessary?
  10. Maybe, or hire somebody. My point is that it is not a "can't" based on actual information provided. Seems like going to USA early would be a last resort. I see the possibility of boarding the infant, but these IR2's would become citizens upon arrival. With the infant having no visa, I guess they just apply for a US Passport after entry.
  11. I don't understand the above. You husband, an intending immigrant, is currently working and providing for the family. So he IS not only "able to work". He IS working. I get the inconvenience etc. of you preceding the family to the USA and giving birth there, but it does not seem to be a "can't".
  12. Certainly need a consultation with an AWA experienced Immigration Attorney, who may well advise against even attempting to move forward with US Immigration.
  13. Is this the same police certificate you already uploaded to CEAC? If so, just explain what happened. The can already see what's been uploaded. Worst case, they'll ask for a new one, but I doubt it.
  14. The process is taking almost two years now. No need to "wait" to start the process. Again, the two years is not about when you file the petition. It's when the spouse immigrant enters the USA. Neither what you originally said, or what you said you meant, reflect truth.
  15. Why was the case denied?
  16. "Got approved" is not applicable. You avoid removing conditions by ENTERING THE USA, two years or more after marriage.
  17. You are NOT required to have joint leases. You are reading that FOLLOWING the words, "In addition to the required....." and followed by "should" and "one or more". If your income will continue from the same source once you immigrate, then YOUR income can be counted and you do NOT need a joint sponsor.
  18. The medical is before the interview, but you cannot get it until you have an interview date. You are now waiting for NVC to review documents, and put you in the queue for an interview.
  19. Thanks for the clarification. WIFE needs to do the homework.
  20. Exactly what you need for stepchild is detailed in the I-130 instructions. No, not exactly the same. Since you did not file for your step daughter, her process is going to be just as long as your wife's and they will not be coming together. Should have done your homework the first time. Get on it now.
  21. If him working and traveling is important, the solution is to marry and follow the spouse visa route. Of course, you must marry first.
  22. There's one possible correspondence from USCIS that would not come by email, and that is an RFE. They notify you by email that one is coming, but you won't know what's in it, unless it is received by mail. There are a couple other times in the process, where a US mailing address is useful, in completing later forms. In this case, a simple official forward order (to a US Address) is probably sufficient. USCIS is not very efficient at changing petitioner addresses.
