    The I-130 instructions tell you what to include for a child. Note, this child will never have a green card. Becomes a citizen upon arrival in your custody.

    If it's an Embassy it's an Embassy. If it's a Consulate it's a Consulate....BUT....If you want to always be right, Immigrant Visa Units are part of Consular Services. In many countries the IV unit is not only not in the Capital City but also not at the same location as the actual Consulate. Here are some examples. Guangzhou, Cuidad Juarez, Montreal, Frankfurt, Mumbai and on and on. Visa interviews are conducted by "Consular Officers".

    I'll be contrary here. I say skip the affidavits altogether. Actually that is the most common advice here on VJ regarding affidavits. At best they are useless, but more likely to simply make you look desperate. You are seeing this as one of many options listed after these words, "In addition to the required...." (so not required) and "one or more of...." Newlyweds are wise to concentrate on actual evidence of time spent together in person, and examples of how and how frequently you communicate.

    I mean you have two choices, not zero choices. I understand you don't like either of them.
  5. pushbrk
    Sounds like you have two choices and you've made one. That's not "no choices".

    It costs nothing to try except time and a little postage.

    Make sure not to leave any spaces blank. If there's a province, enter it. If not, enter Not Applicable

    Missed the they. My other question is still applicable.

    If they don't have W2 form, they should submit the Tax Return Transcript from their latest tax return. I would NOT submit assets instead of income, and in this case, there is no need to add assets anyway. Yes, you'll need to submit evidence of current income in the form of 1 recent pay stub for each. Note, they at least HAD W2 forms if they are employed. Maybe they've misplaced them.

    Your first post says you are seeking a CR1 visa. Where is the daughter now? Is she also in the USA? Are their circumstances such that they can remain in the USA at least six to nine months without leaving and without working?

    I-485 will never be filed in a spouse visa case, so no.

    You are sponsoring only one immigrant per affidavit, so don't check any boxes or add any names in part 3. I told you that using different words. If you follow my instructions, you'll get the same result. Now I've told you in the exact words you want to hear. This is covered very well in the step by step instructions.

    It's life. Sometimes you just gotta do what you just gotta do.

    It's a few days. Avoid checkpoints in the meantime. Putting a visa in a passport is not "instant". It's printed on a special secure machine and glued permantly to a page. Once the visa is approved, you'll be without your passport for a few days.

    The correct information is at the link provided in the above quoted post. Ignore all the "I think" statements, and just go with exactly what is explained in the link. If you go through the process again, don't worry about them "questioning your intent....". Be ready to explain though.
  16. pushbrk
    Yes.
  17. pushbrk
    Yes, as long as they otherwise qualify. Time to become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions and the form itself.
  18. pushbrk
    They won't ask for Police Reports that are not required.
  19. pushbrk
    Information from three tax returns is entered. Only the latest is required to be submitted. Employer letter is OK, but include the latest pay stub too. You'll most likely notice it shows year to date income. No need for multiple pay stubs.

    We do not "use" addresses. We complete the form as instructed and answer the questions that are asked. If the last address outside the USA for more than a year, is an old address, so be it. If the current address is in the Roman Alphabet, only the name is provided in Native Alphabet.

    Do not list your stepdaughter as an immigrant on your wife's affidavit. Do not list your wife as an immigrant on your step daughter's affidavit. Each gets their own. Each affidavit lists only one immigrant.

    Keeping the passport is the norm. Keep your interview letter to support any needed claim of where your passport is for a few days.
  23. pushbrk
    Correct procedure now is to provide two new I-864 forms that are properly completed. You failed to follow the instructions that indicates 1. One affidavit for each petitioned immigrant, and 2. Don't count anybody twice. They no you qualify, but you need to form is a contract. You only provided a contract for your wife. Do not list any other immigrants. Child is simply counted in your household size on the wife's form, and wife is counted as spouse on the child's form.

    Whether anybody finds it strange or not isn't relevant in this context. If a Consular Officer thinks the marriage was entered into to gain an immigration benefit, that's grounds to deny the visa. However, I'm not speculating on the reason for the denial. I DO expect the foreign spouse has at least a really good idea why the visa was denied. They were there. They know the questions and answers, and they know whether any information given was false. Consular Officers are trained to make these decisions, based on the totality of circumstances. Sometimes they know things the applicant doesn't know they know. Sometimes they get it wrong too. Seldom, is it an actual mystery to the applicant though.

    Yes, but the sooner the better.
