    When you reach the end of the form, before submitting, you will see the way to upload the required I-134a, and other supporting documents.

    Whoa. There is only one number from your 1040 that goes on the affidavit of support. It's the one called "total income". They don't need an explanation of anything else about your tax return. A letter explaining why you don't have any W2 forms might be helpful.

    You currently have a job with enough income. It's London, not Mumbai. Stop worrying about anything else related to the affidavit of support besides keeping your job. You're covered.

    UK is the correct thing to have there. Not sure why I thought you were in the UK with your wife. Sounds like you'll be good to go then.

    You are looking at a list of items that follows the words, "In addition to the required..." and also continues to say "one or more of....". The first thing is to understand this means "not required" and then to take "one or more...." literally. You'll probably concentrate on the last item, "any other...." which will be evidence of time spent together in person. Think passport stamps, boarding passes, receipts, as primary evidence and photos together as secondary evidence.

    Mark yes about the vaccination records. You'll have them by the time the medical is complete.

    It's not clear to me the source of your income. You cannot qualify based on foreign income, unless it will continue from the same source in the USA. Starting the process now, means you'll deal with the financial paperwork in about a year. Between now and then, you may need to make some serious decisions about how you support your family going forward. Please clarify if the current job produces income that will continue from the same source, once you relocate to the USA.

    Could be a cross in the mail kind of thing. If you are Cleetus, just upload them again. Maybe you included them in a tax return pdf, and they didn't see them.

    Remember that USCIS does not issue visas. It's actually a change in procedure by the Dept. of State's National Visa Center, back in 2010 that effectively killed the K3 and K4. Later USCIS procedure and policy changes, just kill it a little earlier, before it ever gets to State Dept. Irrelevant to this case, even when those visas WERE available, as the spouse's I-130 is already at the Consulate stage.

    Asking the Consulate to accept, MIGHT work, and an expedite might be granted too, but even an expedite will not get the child a visa before the mother's expires. There's also the option to delay the Mother's interview, if it is critical they travel together. Otherwise the child eventually travels alone or one of you goes back to get them.

    Leave the first marriage end date blank. The form doesn't tell you what to submit with it. It's the instructions that tell you what supporting documentation to submit. It clearly tells you based on what category or relative you are filing for. Study those instructions again and you'll find a photocopy of a certified copy of EACH divorce decree is needed for EACH of you.
  12. pushbrk
    And upload that and more (called "sideloading") at the NVC stage.

    And, alternate affidavits are only used when the correct document is not available. In this case, just have anybody send it as instructed.
  14. pushbrk
    This is the answer, but don't expect the two to come together. The step child's case is likely to be 18 months plus, from the time you file the I-130 until visa. This requires the marriage took place before the child's 18th birthday. K visas for spouse or stepchildren have been all but obsolete since 2010. That's not an option at all now.

    In places where lost or never provided vaccination records are common, the civil surgeons usually have a ready way to deal with this at interview, and can determine what is needed, as part of the exam process. At least one common vaccine leaves a scar and others, they can pretty much determine from the interview, with information about their age, exactly where they lived as a child, and their knowledge of local vaccination processes.

    Some general help. The form works best when using Adobe Reader or Acrobat. Anything you must enter but cannot type in the form, can simply be hand written after printing. The only reason to send more than the most recent tax return would be if it makes things look better. Sounds like it won't. Adjusted Gross Income is not what you use. Use "Total Income". Yes, sometimes it's the same number.

    You will also be uploading each document to the place it goes, so they will be expecting to see the foreign spouse's birth certificate, where they told you to upload it. If it's an applicant document, they already know it's Mary's, so Mary Birth Cert would be a fine way to name it. Keep it simple. I'll add that I've never seen this question, since joining in 2005. Keep it simple.

    That's a lot of questions, most of which are answered well in the official instructions you download same place as the form(s). First, become an A-Student of those instructions and the form itself. You may still have questions and we'll be here for you, but this is a do it yourself site, with emphasis on the "do it" including your "homework". If you need a joint sponsor, and they are married, the complete their own I-864 and it is best practice for their joint tax filing spouse to provide an I-864a, whether they have income or not, and whether their income is needed or not. It's a contract. Consular Officers want both spouses to sign it.
  19. pushbrk
    But we are talking about spouse visas, so the required I-130a DOES still ask for 5 years employment history. It's a 2021 form though.
  20. pushbrk
    That's your choice but it would make your comments more meaningful. I'm just trying to understand if there has been some actual "change". For now, there is simply not enough information to draw any conclusion.
  21. pushbrk
    We can "disagree". 🙃
  22. pushbrk
    But....How long have you been with your current employer???
  23. pushbrk
    Still no need for translation. Consular Officers in Juarez are fluent in Spanish. No Spanish Language document needs translation for Juarez. PERIOD. They will understand the "legalese" much better in the original language. If (probably) it needs to be fully analyzed, it will go to an actual "lawyer" who reviews such things as needed, who is an actual assigned employee of the Consulate, and fully prepared to deal with Spanish "legalese". Side note, I spent a few hours in the actual home of the General Counsel for the Guangzhou Consulate a few years ago. They are fully prepared to deal with such things.
  24. pushbrk
    Not even NVC requires an accompanying translation of a Spanish document, for a Mexico case. Yes, upload the document.
  25. pushbrk
    But you DID enter at least CURRENT employment information. To determine whether your circumstances represent any "change" would depend on how long you've been at your current job. If work at the same place 20 years (for example) and you enter your current employment information, you also provided 20 years of employment history. Please clarify for the benefit of the discussion.
