I like to think ahead lol

You'll probably have to start over. 

Probably, but Consular Officers consider the totality of circumstances including everything in the file, not just current income and not just the affidavit of support.  It is ALWAYS a judgment call.  Google "How do Consular Officers make the public charge decision?"  Learn some of the big picture, instead  of just cherry picking convenient questions.  Or "How do Consular Officers evaluate affidavits of support?"

When my ladies annulment was processed - it was explained to us that the SOLGEN  review in Manilla was a 60 period where the high court is given an opportunity to review the decision for irregularities and if they respond positively (agree with the decision) or do not respond  within 60 days it is returned to the local court for final adjudication.  In our case ours went in early July and after the mandatory review period of 60 days the local court finally issued the certificate of final nullity in mid September

It took 3 years to get the Annulment thru the local court district, from there it was sent to the Solgens office in Manila. The Solgen official signed off on it also..hooya hooya, BUT we were told it needs to go back the local court and after that to the Solgens office AGAIN!
 
We both have no clue why it needs to back to both offices after it was already signed off of.
 
Please help!

But they only a 3 - 3.5 star rating from only 8 reviews.. 

Transcripts don't cost $50, they are FREE
 
"The IRS does not charge a fee for transcripts, which are available for the current tax year as well as the past three tax years."
 
An "actual copy" is where the IRS charges the bucks.

I notice that for a family of 2 the requirements are set a $21,138, is there a certain a number of years they they calculate on the average? For right now Im $138 short, at what time is it needed to get a family member to "co sponsor" this process? Is this co sponsor needed on the I-130 application also?
 
Thanks.

In my experience the CO's are pretty decent.  They have the job to help prevent public charge.  I've seen approvals where the couple barely makes the minimum but they are hard workers.  With CR/IR the beneficiary can work right away.  My wife and two step kids all had jobs here within a couple weeks.  Each of them earns between $600 and $800 every two weeks.  That really helps with the transition.  They get to shop with their own money!
 

This is the email that I got:

My friend is using them. I am not. He is like you. Gets overwhelmed easily. He needed them because he couldn't stare at the form for 15 minutes to figure out what USCIS wanted. He needed them to hold his hand through the process and tell him what the form said. If you want that, please pay them for it. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing. Different people require different things. Best of luck on your visa journey!

Those are examples. In practice, they have very little to no real value (as noted, there is no way to verify their accuracy, nobody submits a negative one, and literally anybody can submit one).

Whatever

Anybody can write an affidavit. They don't need to be notarized, but you can if you want.
 
As for their practicality...
Anybody can write one. I charge $20. (sarcasm)

It's very common......Don't worry about it....good luck.....

That is pretty much irrelative, Most CO understand you must try it before you buy it

The airlines handles that, at least Delta does, they provide a wheelchair and a person to push it.    NAIA and Narita have both been excellent with this.

I do understand that.
 
I schedule the wheelchair when I book my airfare.  If you already booked the airfare, call the airlines and request the wheelchair.
 
 
 
 

It only took us 1 day to get ISSUED!  We were issued the day after the interview.
 

It takes about 4 days after CEAC says "ISSUED".
 
They arrive on July 16!
