    It is not yet clear what you have or have not done for your daughter already. Has her I-130 been filed and approved already?

    You can submit anything. It would be helpful though if there was a way to connect the username to you.

    The I-485 is not used in a spouse visa case. Are you seeking a visa through Seoul, or adjusting status from within the USA? Yes you can submit a scan to a different size paper, but they actually will accept the A4 Here's what you need. I do not see any Consulate listed as a place to get them. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/SouthKorea.html

    This is the correct advice, but never forget that although only the latest tax return is required to be submitted, information from three years must be supplied. Many incorrectly assume that they must have three years of qualifying income. That is usually true in Mumbai, but not other places. Further, for an employed person, "current income" does NOT come from a tax return. Take your gross, for a full pay period (Use a pay stub.) times the number of pay periods in a full year. That's your current income. 1k a week is 52k a year. Simple stuff.

    No reason to include the joint bank account, if you really haven't co-mingled your finances. Throw those affidavits away though. If you have joint lease and joint utility bills, and live together, you have it covered just fine.

    Then provided you already filed two petitions and paid two $325 IV fees to NVC, you will pay for two medical exams, then after the visas are issued, two $220 New Immigrant fees. Then, if they enter the US before your second wedding anniversary, two years later you'll pay two $765 removal of conditions fees. (or whatever the fee is at that time) That's the end of required fees. Naturalization for US Citizenship is optional, but not free.

    If you are a US Citizen and this is your wife, and step child, then the $1,000 sounds like TWO medical exam fees. It's a medical exam you are paying for. Whether they do biometrics as part of that, is irrelevant. Did you file two petitions, and two $325 immigrant visa fees to NVC. If not, the child is not coming with your wife. Please clarify.

    It's going to be critical for you to study and become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions, which answer your last question quite well. I advise against relying on asking questions INSTEAD of using the instructions. Without studying the instructions, you will never know WHAT you DON'T know, so won't know what to ask.
  9. pushbrk
    Correct. I will add that my recommendation is to leave the savings where they are for now. Show them as yours, so you can also show some examples of statements going back a year. This is so they know it has been yours that long, not just a gift from, say, her parents, so they don't have to sign the joint sponsor contract. Yes, this happens. You do know the minimum amount is 3 times the income requirement. Right?

    You've been given a way to avoid starting over, if you can actually make that work. Starting over will not look suspicious. The next I-130 will ask if you filed a petition before. Answer and explain. No problem.

    This part of the discussion is not applicable to the OP's question and does not fit the purpose of this forum. If you have nothing to add that's helpful, I suggest you refuse from instigating strife.

    First, determine if your son is entitled to US Citizenship at birth. If you are a lifelong US Citizen, just assume he is. What you do is apply for his Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) and his US passport. You've been given a link to the information. Here's the specific link for the US Embassy in Dominican Republic. https://do.usembassy.gov/consular-report-of-birth-abroad-ecrba/ Now....get busy reading and following instructions.

    Not received, probably just means they haven't opened the package yet. When they do, they will create a case and email you. They don't have an immediate log of what they have "received". Think of it like they have cartons of envelopes sitting in a warehouse unopened. They don't know whose cases are in those cartons until the do something with them.

    The course of action is to respond to the RFE with as plenty of relevant relationship evidence, and as you go forward, stop "being given to believe". Instead, believe and follow the actual instructions. Each form has them. Become an A-Student of both the forms AND their instructions before proceeding. Are you the petitioner or the foreign spouse? The RFE would have been sent to the petitioner and it is THEIR responsibility to respond.

    Your house is not going to help much until it is sold. You can combine assets, but only the liquid ones will be counted. You need a minimum of 3 times the income requirement in "liquid" assets.
  16. pushbrk
    No need to bring the original. If he used a copy of it when submitting the I-130, they have an image of it in their file already. If it's not available, so be it. If he can scan and email it to you to print in time, that will do also.
  17. pushbrk
    Yes. Expect to hear from NVC in a month normally, but with holidays, maybe a little longer. Nothing you can do. Relax and wait or don't relax, but you WILL "wait".
  18. pushbrk
    The files are all transferred electronically, and have been for quite some time.
  19. pushbrk
    That would have your daughter following you 18 to 24 months later. Your spouse can file both petitions. Spouse and step daughter are both considered her immediate relatives. There is no need to wait for YOU to petition your daughter. My recommendation is to file both petitions now. If you decide later, you want the daughter to follow more than six months behind you, then ask that the daughter's interview be scheduled later than yours. NVC will follow those instructions, and they you'll have the flexibility you need. That part is handled about a year after petition filing. Seems this was already discussed in a topic started by the US Citizen spouse earlier this week.

    This answer incorrectly presumes the petitioner's current physical address, is where the green card will be sent. The green card will be sent to the US Address the foreign spouse indicates on the DS 260, or updates as late as US arrival. It could be the same as one of the addresses on the petitioner's I-864, but that is neither a requirement or a "should".
  21. pushbrk
    If you have a mailing address in the USA, use it. Your physical address is what it is, but since you live abroad, you are also going to need to provide evidence of your intent to re-establish domicile in the USA. Do state your domicile as USA though. That's a separate question. Since nothing is going to be mailed abroad, a US address for mailing is best. Yes, become an A-Student of the excellent I-864 instructions.
  22. pushbrk
    Great. Then they need plenty of evidence. I hope they spent lots of time together.
  23. pushbrk
    You're doing the right thing. His DS260 asked about any arrests. He answered honestly and is providing the needed record. There will be questions about this and possible complications, but I predict eventual success, if this is the full story.
  24. pushbrk
    Upload. Your offer letter is helpful, so good to upload in support of your affidavit.
  25. pushbrk
    So, you did not bother to follow the instructions and send any evidence of bona fide relationship, OR the passport photos of the petitioner. Since the beneficiary is outside the USA, the are not required for them, but you can send anyway. Most important is evidence of time spent together in person. Primary evidence of visits in the entry and exit stamps in the traveler's passport. Secondary evidence is photos together, and examples of how and how frequently you communicate. Don't send any "affidavits". WHICH COUNTRY? It matters.
