Strangest

Congrats

Not for spouses, no.

Thanks

Is there a condition like this for Ir1? I mean for spouse?

Both fiancées must have met in person at least once within two years prior to filing the visa petition.

Her annual income can be calculated using this formula:

$11 x number of hours worked per week x 52

For the number of hours worked per week factor, only calculate what she is guaranteed to work, not the "sometimes" since that is incidental and cannot be accurately figured.

Thanks...

I created a quick spreadsheet for you to use that calculates your wife's income. You can add your own numbers to make the calculations more accurate.. Hope this helps. Please take note that these are rough calculations, and will not predict your wife's exact income.. Your wife may make more or less than this depending on how her employer calculates time and pay... DO NOT use the spreadsheet below to calculate your wife's income for any immigration purposes. Have your wife ask her employer's accounting department for an accurate accounting of her gross income.

SPREADSHEET TO CALCULATE INCOME

Best of luck

Thanks, very helpful... From my calculations, she is good to go...

Please my wife just got a GNA job and will be earning 11$ for 8hrs. Will be working weekend sometimes. I am trying to figure if she will be able to meet the 125% poverty guideline of $19,912. She does not have a dependant. Thanks in anticipation for your replies. Also teach how to calculate it with ease.

Thank you all...

Please is it okay to use the attorneys address for the petitioner while filing for I130? And also in G325A

Slim to none.

Thanks for the response, What if I try after I130 has been approved? You think it will increase my chances of a b1/b2 visa?

What are my chances, wife is in the US, I have not applied for IR1 and definitely not going to lie on D160. I want to visit my uncle in another sate and also see wife in another state before retuning back.

Please can submit my package with a photocopy of our marriage certificate?I don't want to risk the original.

The photocopies has to be certified by the issuing body...

When the time comes to submit the I-864, she simply writes a statement that states why she was not required to file taxes.

After the file arrives at the NVC, the bills that will be paid there are for Affidavit of Support processing and the Immigrant Visa application fee ($120 and $325 respectively). Finally, once a visa has been issued, a card production fee of $165 will need to be paid to USCIS.

Please once again, is it okay for my USC wife to include a copy of her Nigerian passport which bears her married surname as proof of bona fide marriage

Is it a co sponsor or a joint sponsor?

Thanks once again for the information...

For a petition submittal, you do not need to include any letter about not working or filing tax returns. Such a letter about tax returns will come later. As for your evidence items, items 1-5 are not bad. Skip the medical report, it's not relevant.

Correct

Please another question. The petitioner grew up in Nigeria and did not work while in Nigeria, she just returned to US around August and she has never filed for her tax returns before. She is still looking for a job and is yet to get one. How will she go about filling the I-864 Affidavit of Support for her own before adding that of a joint sponsor. MUST it be 3 years tax return?

After the 420$ payment for I-130, is there another payment that will be made at NVC or any other place. Thanks again.

Thanks, once again

I am unsure what you can do, later on you will need a co sponsor for certain

Thanks, we are definitely looking at the option of joint sponsor but I believe that comes after the I-130 has been approved.

***Moved from Progress Reports to Process & Procedures.***

**Moderator hat off**

"None" is appropriate to write for that section because it is accurate.

For proof of bona fide relationship, we intend to include the following document.

1.Affidavit from both parents that's her father, mother and my mother which will also state that we have been cohabiting as husband and wife.

2. Facebook and whatsapp chats

3. Legalized marriage certificate

4. Pictures from wedding and family taken together.

5. My wife's change of name which was published in a national daily in Nigeria.

Will it be okay? We also intend to include a report from the doctor in MD which shows that she had a bleeding as a result of miscarriage.

Please also advise if the list is good or bad. Thank you.

My wife is the petitioner and I am the beneficiary, we are currently filling the G325A form and we need assistance. Wife grew up here in Nigeria and has not worked before. She just relocated to the states around August last year and is still looking for a job in the states. Concerning the Applicant's employment last 5years, Is it okay to put None or will affect us later.?

You can apply for a tourist visa but the chances of you being granted one are virtually nil.

Thanks again Ryan H

.if am denied, will it affect my CR-1?

Please, my wife is a USC, she just traveled back to the states in September in order to establish domicile, since we have been living together in Nigeria for long though with no kids but miscarriage. we will be filing for the I-130 soon. I wish to visit and return back to my country Nigeria while I wait for the CR-1 visa. Should I go for B1/B2 first? Will it be legal?
