  1. and there have been cases where the visa had an error which had to be re-issued by the consulate....causing a significant delay.
  2. Yes. But ONLY if you can submit/substitute a valid I-864 from a qualified petitioner/sponsor who has documented sufficient earned income for the future or sufficient assets. Past tax returns do not qualify a sponsor. Expected earned income (based on current gross income) for the future 12 months or sufficient assets are the qualifiers. "We expect the petitioner to have qualified employment" will not work. I would take the new I-864 to the interview. Remember that, once the visa has been issued, the Joint Sponsor is obligated under the I-864 until new immigrant has become a US citizen, has lost LPR status, has earned 40 credited quarters of work, or has died.
  3. Applying for a B2 extension is extremely risky. You could easily lose the B2 or even accrue a 3 year ban if you overstay 6 months if denied.
  4. The conventional wisdom of Visa Journey is to wait until visa is in hand, and after you have checked it for error. Your risk...Your consequences.
  5. Yes. You could request a USCIS expedite as well as an expedite from NVC. There are no guarantees, but it costs nothing. Pros: It might be effective Cons: None

  7. @659DrummerBoy, your post was split out into a new topic. The thread you replied to has been inactive for a year. As such, it is now closed to further comments. GB -VJ Moderation Team
  8. I don't see it as a major concern. They will be more interested in the lengths of trips outside the US.
  9. You will need the A number (Registration Number) and the DOS case number from the immigrant visa in your passport. The fee is $235. Go here to pay https://my.uscis.gov/accounts/uscis-immigrant-fee/start/overview
  10. You have done what is needed to withdraw the I-130. The divorce also halts the petition since the relationship will no longer exist.
  11. I mean that she will possibly leave you alone now. Maybe she is pursuing a VAWA claim against you (she won't need you any more). Maybe she has found another possible marriage partner to help her get that Green card. Maybe you have served your purpose. If you haven't already, get her stuff back to her through an attorney. She would no longer have a reason to contact you again. Hopefully, you are free.
  12. Sounds like she is still working on the VAWA claim....or she has found another target.
  13. You could just submit a copy of the amended 1040 package to CEAC (NVC) instead of a transcript for that year.
  14. If you are in possession of a 10 year card, then no, you do not have to file an I-751. That was just a courtesy email they sent you by mistake.
  15. There are a number of documents which have to be submitted to NVC...such as police reports, financial documents, affidavit of support, proof of domicile for petitioner, etc. Once NVC has approved all the required documents, they consider the case to be "documentary qualified". Only then, will they place a case in the queue for an interview.
  16. It looks like her I-130 just recently became current. If so, I hope she is document qualified at NVC.

  18. If petitioner is an LPR, the category is F2A....not IR-1. The Visa Bulletin controls when her I-130 priority date becomes current.
  19. So, she's been in the US for about a year (overstay of 6 months after a 6 month visa stay)? Is her divorce final? I see heavy scrutiny coming after 2 quick marriages and 2 quick applications for a Green card.
  20. OK. I found the updated instruction for the I-864. Looks like the youtuber is correct. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf "NOTE: Do not leave the boxes for Item Number 16. blank. Type or print the most recent tax year and your total income for that most recent tax year. If the amount was zero, type or print “zero” or if you were not required to file a Federal income tax return type or print “N/A” for not applicable. Type or print “N/A” for not applicable for Item Numbers 16.b. - 16.c. if you do are not submitting any additional tax returns.
  21. That youtuber is wrong. If taxes were filed, petitioner must put the numbers from his 1040s for all 3 years. Otherwise, petitioner must indicate why he/she was not required to file taxes for each year.
  22. What visa category? Is petitioner a US citizen? Try sending an inquiry to NVC, using DOS case number to find the current status.
  23. Yea....I posted that link in the 1st reply to the OP in this thread...LOL. I use that explanation reference a lot. It's a good source for explaining the terms and differences.
