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.
 

The OP whose topic you've  hijacked made the mistake of including his foreign spouse's income that will not continue in the USA, on his I-864.

Thanks! I was surprised to read they wanted proof of joint bank account when you live separately … good to know it was because of something you showed them. 

I would upload a new I864 and not include any of her information. you can submit the letter you wrote and maybe include a request for them in notes to review the new I864 instead of the old one. 

There is no requirement for a foreign spouse to provide tax returns.  In addition, your spouse was not required to file a tax return.   Can you post a copy of the request? 

You'll get the email from NVC in a few days.  The June date is for their actual review of what you submit once you've paid the fees.

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.

Nothing wrong with showing equity in a primary residence.  It just won't be considered FULLY as it is NOT liquid.  Consular Officers are trained to consider totality of circumstances though and having now mortgage payment, is certainly a major circumstance to be considered.
 
This case is an investment property though, so IS considered liquid.
 
Whether you LIKE the term HIJACK or not, what happened, is why your topic got split from the one hijacked.  Your case got confused with another.  
 

Start by becoming an A-Student of the I-864 instructions and the form itself.  Sounds like unless you have a big chunk of liquid assets, you'll need either a joint sponsor, her income to continue FROM THE SAME SOURCE, or her to move back to the USA and go to work.  Guessing you'll soon wish you had asked this question long ago.

I see.  That's why hijacking is not allowed.

Yes, your spouse will be questioned upon entry.  Bring all documents in carry-on luggage.  Why would one leave anything like that behind.  The questions will be answered from memory and knowledge.  No worries.

You originally stated you used your father as a "household member" instead of a "joint sponsor".  That would make your household size 3.  I advised you to redo your financial package with your father as a joint sponsor, which would reduce both household sizes to two.  So, are you trying to qualify on your own, with self employment income plus liquid assets?  Please clarify.

Since it's not liquid anyway, Zillow might work if combined with evidence of the mortgage balance.  Value is not enough.  The issue is "equity".  But still, wouldn't the solution I gave you solve the problem without bothering with assets?  Why pay for an appraisal and/or add an non-liquid asset, instead of doing it the right way, and reducing the household size from 3 to 2?

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.
 

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.

Online filing is a combination of an online form and uploading supporting documents.  One supporting document is the I-130a.  Start by becoming an A-Student of the I-130 instructions you can download and the paper form, can be a helpful guide in preparing.  I still recommend filing on paper though unless you are living abroad.  Less form glitches.

The I130A will need to be filled out and uploaded with the online application for the I130.  It is probably best to fill out the I130A first before starting the I130 application.
 
Good Luck!
 
 

I said upload only AFTER you have the interview appointment.  Below was my first answer.
 
Once you have an interview date, complete and upload a new financial package with new I-864 and supporting documents.  Your spouse can then give an updated address.  No need to do a new DS 260.

"Sufficient Liquid Assets" yes.  What is sufficient is determined in part, by household size, which will still be three doing it that way.  Can add those same assets to an I-864 showing a two person household instead of 3.
 
 

Yes.  Consular Report of Birth Abroad is a separate document.  It's like a second birth certificate that evidences the child is a US Citizen, but it cannot be  used as a travel document.

The procedure being sought is to have an adjudicator bring up both the I-130 and I-129F on their system, when they close the I-129F in favor of the I-130.  Sometimes, when both files are up on their system anyway, they simply go ahead and approve the I-130.  If they do, great. If they don't, nothing is lost.  It's like placing a bet that costs only postage and some time.  The odds are better than zero, so why not.
