Should have told your accountant that the year you sponsor an immigrant is not the year to file taxes late. Seems he STILL has not filed 2022 taxes yet. You might get by with a most recent pay stub, and the end of year pay stub, and skip the joint sponsor. File that 2022 tax return NOW. Remind the accountant you can amend that tax return later. He's just being prudent, but not knowing or thinking of how that impacted your immigration. -
Would not make sense to do that, as they've already seen the 2022 return.
-
Yes.
-
They might notice and "frown". What of it? Are you saying you cannot provide a 2023 tax return showing plenty of self employment income?
-
Not sure what you mean by "net profit". I told you the only number they look at. In some cases, I suppose that may be the same number as what you hare calling "net profit". It typically matches the income you pay taxes on. Don't confuse revenue and income. In this context no revenue numbers are considered until they appear on the total income line of a US federal tax return. As you work on your 2023 tax return, watch that number. Sometimes the self employed will forget about some deductions in a year they need to sponsor an immigrant. They can always remember those deductions later and file amended returns.
-
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.

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.

Intent to reestablish domicile
pushbrk replied to Penguin_DE's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
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? -
Correct. If she is not currently in the USA, none of that is applicable.
-
Not illegal. See Crazy Cat's answer.

Medical - COVID vaccine
pushbrk replied to CarlosV's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
A lot of homework. Subject matter is "waiver of COVID vaccine for US Immigrant visa". -
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.
-
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.
-
No. A baby will actually complicate things.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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".
-
Certainly need a consultation with an AWA experienced Immigration Attorney, who may well advise against even attempting to move forward with US Immigration.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Why was the case denied?
-
"Got approved" is not applicable. You avoid removing conditions by ENTERING THE USA, two years or more after marriage.
-
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.
