  1. Thanks

    If your liquid assets (as defined in the instructions for the form) are clearly well over three times the income requirement, then state them and document them.  State your "current income" as the amount on the offer letter and include the offer letter.  Your spouse should be prepared to clearly explain, if asked, that you had a job transfer but have since accepted a different offer from another employer.  Consular Officers have plenty of leeway to make a judgement call on these matters.  Some member see using assets as some kind of "complication" but there's a place for them on the form, for a reason.  Do understand though that they must be liquid and documented as held for more than just a few months.  Best to send five statements or sets of statements, ones from 12, 9, 6, 3, and 0 months ago.

    Yes I left the both questions blanks. But someone told me I was supposed to answer second questions. So I got scared and I chatted with live agent and told me to upload letter where she would like to be interview.

    Sure, as long as you did not indicate a location where she will adjust status in the USA.

    AOS is at least a year or two down the road as it looks like she hasn't even started I-130. Worry about that at NVC time - she can depart early and get a job in the US, get a joint sponsor...

    No, it is not adequate and value is not the issue.  The issue is equity, so you must disclose and document the mortgage balance.  The instructions are there for a reason.  Don't ignore the instructions that say that the assets that count must be liquid, and that a primary residence is NOT considered "liquid".
     
    Literal interpretation is the key.   Don't engage in "convenient interpretation" in THIS process.  You were well advised already what to do to solve the problem.

    In reality, they will probably be processed together, as the files are electronic now.  That said, yes you wait for the slowest before proceeding at NVC.

    Who's he and why would he know?
    I don't think random folks working at biometrics center would be allowed to know anything about your case. Their job is easy. Check ID, take fingerprints, send information to some database. The officer who handles your case may know why you were required to do biometrics. But maybe even he doesn't know for sure, got an instruction from computer because your name got flagged by other government agency.

    Receipts for airline tickets are evidence you bought a ticket, not evidence of actual travel.  Passport stamps and boarding passes are evidence of travel.  Receipts for hotels in spouse's country are evidence of travel.

    Yes, it will.  They will be asking the kind of questions you say you don't remember the answer to.  Expect them to ask these questions not to YOU, but to your wife.  My advise is to get your memory back and inform her fully about the previous case.

    Are you seeking an immigrant visa for your wife or is your plan to adjust status from within the USA.  If she is here legally, I don't know why you would seek a visa.  If you are adjusting status, I would not file the I-130 online.  Instead, I would do a concurrent filing by mail, that would include the I-130 and it's supporting documents, plus the I-485, advance parole, and work authorization.  And, in that case, I would focus on the evidence you have been living together for a year, and some photos.

    The reliability of answers you get here depends on the information you provide.  My answer was related to a in immigrant visa being sought for a spouse living abroad, BECAUSE you posted in a VISA FORUM.  There is a separate forum for adjusting status.
     
    Please clarify.

    Before continuing, you're going to want to study the concurrent filing process.  Filing just the I-130 and I-130 A without the other 6 forms will cost you time.  The rest have to be filed on paper anyway.  Your preference is really irrelevant in this context.  It is what it is.

    You seem to be assuming they will immediately connect your two separate filings.  That's an unreasonable assumption, but it might work.  Do it the way you want.  You CAN be assured that everything will be connected from the beginning if you do a concurrent filing.

    Of course they won't toss it out.  EVENTUALLY, they'll connect the two filings.  The difference between immediately and eventually, is something you can only guess.

    You are quoting the slow way of doing it.  Here's the preferred way.  https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/concurrent-filing-of-form-i-485

    PD doesn't matter.  The I-130 just sits, and cannot be joined with the I-485 until it is filed.  Also, the AP and EAD cannot be separated and go on their faster timeline until they are filed.  Filing THOSE forms concurrently with the I-485 means no fee, but the sooner they are filed (concurrent with all) the sooner the beneficiary can work and travel internationally.
     
    Yes, I have plenty of evidence.  Been here participating since 2005.  Maybe check the Google...advice in my signature, AND the anonymous quote.

    No.  Passport stamps are primary evidence of time spent together in person.  Those are the strongest evidence of relationship.  Your marriage certificate is your "proof of marriage".  What is asked for in addition is evidence of a bona fide relationship.  That's the passport stamps.  Booking confirmations are not evidence of travel, but grouping them with passport stamps can  make it easier for the adjudicator to understand the passport stamps.  Proof of Citizenship is your passport, naturalization certificate or US Birth Certificate.
