pushbrk got a reaction from OldUser in Form i-130 and i-485
Borrow if you must, but file the I-485 and all the supporting forms and documents. Do it right this time. Once filed, you might lose your ability to work, but you'll be ok to stay in the USA.

pushbrk got a reaction from OldUser in i864 - individual and total annual income for married filed joint tax
If your current work is in the USA now, you simply show the pay stub or HR letter. If you are adjusting status, you're in the USA. The question about current income is in the present tense. So, the income you mention is already being earned in the USA. Right.
Note that Adjusted Gross is not the correct number. Use Total Income. However those numbers are often the same.

pushbrk reacted to OldUser in Right way to answer Q25 ? Pled guilty or convicted of a crime or offense with traffic tickets?
Either hire lawyer and follow their advice or listen to VJ users and follow their advice.
In my opinion, no downside to listing this. At least you're transparent and upfront. If it's not an issue, officer will appreciate your openness.
You can ignore parking tickets, but moving violation is typically recommended to be reported.

pushbrk got a reaction from S2N in Social Security address delivery questions
Yes, it should go to the address she gave at POE, but it would be prudent to put in a change of address with the Post Office too.

pushbrk got a reaction from TBoneTX in I-864 Question
The bold above is incorrect. Quite wrong for a self employed person. For the self employed, "current income" is the number on the "total income" line of the latest federal tax return. For the employed, it's the gross for a full pay period, times the number of pay periods in a year. In some cases that might be what is expected for 2025, but not in all cases. Nowhere in the instructions is "expected in the current calendar year" mentioned. It's not current year income. It's current income. The OP's question cannot be properly answered without knowing whether they are employed or self employed.

pushbrk got a reaction from Stiven26 in NVC exempt.
Apply for the passport the same as you would if your child was born in the USA. The visa and entry stamp are the evidence of Citizenship needed along with birth certificate and translation, if needed, would be the evidence of Citizenship.
-
pushbrk got a reaction from top_secret in NVC exempt.
First thing that comes to mind is that this is the natural child of a US Citizen who could not pass citizenship at birth. In this case, once the child enters the USA using an IR2 visa, to reside with the US Citizen parent, they are immediately a US Citizen. That's a case that would exempt the IR2 child. Is that the situation?

pushbrk reacted to Crazy Cat in CR1 for my fiancé while I'm deployed
You cannot file an I-130 until you have met either during or after the marriage ceremony.

pushbrk reacted to Crazy Cat in CR1 for my fiancé while I'm deployed
That would not apply to a spousal visa. It might apply to an adjustment of status case after entering on a B2, for example, since an I-130 would be filed. I have not seen that list in a few years. Thanks for sharing it.

pushbrk got a reaction from appleblossom in I want to apply for a green card, but encountered some problems
First, this is not a visa case. It's no case at all, because the US Citizen has taken no action. The illegal alien posting the question has no path to a green card, without a qualified sponsor. Unlawful work is forgiven in these cases, but claiming to be a US Citizen is not. Lawyer time, and be prepared for the best advice to be self deportation.

pushbrk got a reaction from TBoneTX in Tunisian officials are refusing to renew beneficiary’s passport
He only needs one valid passport for the interview, but he must have a valid passport at that time.

pushbrk reacted to S2N in Will USCIS delay in processing the I130 if we married to quickly? Any personal experience?
Have you filed yet? USCIS generally doesn’t concern itself too much with bona fides in consular cases beyond an initial review to see if it passes the smell test. The deep dive there is mainly handled by the consulate. AOS they do look a lot closer.
That being said that’s very fast and might even raise questions from them. If you’ve already filed I would recommend uploading a lot of unsolicited evidence since filing showing that you have a real marriage and it’s ongoing. Time together is most important. If you haven’t filed include that evidence in the initial filing.
It will definitely be brought up at the consulate so you should have a lot of high quality evidence to counteract the possibility for fraud.
What country is this?

Use the current passport number on the DS 260 and update at interview. You can also delay at NVC until he has the new passport.

They cannot immediately file an I-130 after a Utah Zoom marriage. They must have evidence they have been together in person, between the date of the ceremony and the date of filing the petition.

pushbrk got a reaction from TBoneTX in income figures on form I-864 affidavit of support [merged threads]
If you are a landlord with rental income, you are both employed and self employed. You must state your "current income" by entering the number on your latest tax return labeled "total income". In many cases, landlords' current income is reduced by their expense and depreciation deductions. You BE both, but you cannot have it both ways.

Correct, that’s what I meant when I said meet in person if online. Sorry if it wasn’t clear.
