  1. Your business when self employed (and only u) is reported on Schedule C when filing the 1040 since u live on this To file your annual income tax return, you will need to use Schedule C (Form 1040), Profit or Loss from Business (Sole Proprietorship), to report any income or loss from a business you operated or profession you practiced as a sole proprietor, or gig work performed. Even if you don't get a Form 1099-K, if you received payments for goods, services or property, you must report your income. This includes payments you receive in cash, property, goods, digital assets or foreign sources or assets. If you are a US citizen working outside the country but maintaining an online business based in the USA, you can still use your US income to qualify for an I-864 Affidavit of Support, as long as you can demonstrate that your primary domicile remains in the United States and you intend to return; this typically requires providing evidence like property ownership, US bank statements, and proof of continued ties to the country even while living abroad.
  2. we didn't print out bank statements I gave Adil the 2 pages the bank gave me when i added his name /shows name, address and all things required also , we sent the bill for property taxes with both names and copy of the quick claim deed to deed i did to add his name to house
  3. File the I 130 for the spouse visa online best to read thru the I 130 instructions before starting the I 130 which is called a petition https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130instr.pdf
  4. Did CO mention the visa would be approved? the interview was 30th of September so i would think your medical was prior it will soon be 6 months from that date and if it goes beyond the 6 month medical , the embassy will require a new exam if visa is not issued prior to that date Be prepared to travel fast if visa is issued or to have new medical if CO asks for one 221 g from any embassy can take weeks or months hopefully u will hear soon
  5. Do not send naturaliztion or passport/ USC passport not needed send certified copy of naturalization document send photo copy of state ID or DL to show US residency
  6. She can travel without you / only rule immigration has is that u r in US before her or with her the airlines have staff that are multi lingo so even if her English is not that great, she can find help Can u keep the trip to few layovers? allow at least 2 or more hours for a layover as she will need to go thru customs there What is her country? what will be her POE in US?
  7. they can ask especially if there are any big red flags such as big age difference or domestic violence big question for CO would be WHY u divorced / dates are not so important but the year of divorce or separation maybe If there are children from the 1st marriage, CO will want to know if u support them and have contact and if they live close and has she met or talked to them
  8. You do not need a lawyer/ fairly simple to follow the guides above or on USCIS site to petition for u BUT he needs to file those tax returns and if he owes, they have to be paid 7 months to interview? No , it will be more like 18 months or longer so he has time to file and be ready Nantucket can be isolated in winter but it is also very beautiful /its a community of artists with several shops and good restaurants and you will see the whales when they migrate back the isolation is welcomed after the busy tourist summer season when all people in Nantucket just want the tourist to leave them to their beautiful island
  9. its a moot point to say he can not meet u in Jamaica or any other country as he will need to interview in one of them which will be asked on the petition He can travel to DR, Jamaica or Mexico to meet u / he should arrive 1st and be at airport when u arrive to protect u in any of these counties The Dominican Republic is generally safe, but precautions are crucial. Stay in well-lit areas, avoid isolated spots, and trust your instincts. Be cautious with valuables and stay informed about local emergency services. If the cost for meeting is an issue , u need to check out the TOTAL COST of the K1 and the AOS process after the US marriage as that will stun u The cost of a K-1 visa for a fiancé(e) in 2025 is at least $2,380. This includes: Form I-129F: The K-1 visa petition, which costs $675 Form DS-160: The U.S. State Department processing fee, which costs $265 Form I-485: The adjustment of status form, which costs $1,440 Medical examination: The cost varies by provider and country Other costs to consider include: Travel to the U.S. Translating documents if they are not in English Additional costs if the fiancé(e) wants to bring a child Filing for AP on top of form I 485 (form I 131 is $630) Also check out the income needed for the support according to poverty guidelines 100% needed for K1 and may not be enough to satisfy the CO at the embassy interview 125% for the AOS in USA after the marriage the best to u both
  10. Not only does he have to file tax returns , he must include the cost of the housing as income if he does not pay rent HE needs to file a support document with his income to show he can support u /usually also show tax returns and if he owes , pay it completely if he does not make enough he needs a joint sponsor nothing wrong with seasonal work, if is enough to sponsor you property guidelines for K1 are 100% 125% for spouse 125% to adjust status to LPR after the K1 cost of adjusting is over $2000 for your work card, AP so u can travel outside the US till EAD is approved u can can work till the AOS is complete and u have SS # and work card
  11. i, also, appealed u need to read the notice from with USCIS or Immigration court judge (that was mine) to see what it says Mine from the court said, "appeal approved marriage is bona fida, u r free to reapply"
  12. if you do want to attend world class soccer , think of the 2026 matches and apply now for the interview they will be held in US , Mexico , and Canada the Moroccan needs a visit to these countries / for the Moroccan getting the Mexican visa would be the easiest one but try all 3/ not sure yet what teams will play where and yes, she will probably be denied the US visa as married to USC but if applying show her Moroccan income , bank account, ownership of property , or that she attends school or college. BTW in Morocco high school is our college and college is high school (so those need to be explained on the application if she attends either) U going to Philadelphia to see Wydad Casa to play MC? meet u there even though we are Raja fans
  13. When searching internet for immigration related information, be very careful to not trust AI Make sure your answers come from USCIS sites, VJ, DOJ and read those sites Know the real rule or law not what a quick internet search tells u i have seen some "off the wall" info which is not correct or misleading the web says AI Overview Learn more AI can generate incorrect or misleading information, also known as AI hallucinations, for a number of reasons. This can include biased training data, incorrect assumptions, or the model's inability to differentiate between truth and falsehood.
  14. NH non citizen site https://www.dmv.nh.gov/drivers-licensenon-driver-ids/non-us-citizen
  15. you need to list ALL children (yours and hers) she needs separate I 134 not together unless you claim her on tax returns as dependent relative https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/dependents Qualifying relative A qualifying relative must meet general rules for dependents and pass these tests: Not a qualifying child: Isn't your qualifying child or the qualifying child of any other taxpayer Member of household or relationship: Lives with you all year as a member of your household or is a specific type of relative Gross income: Has gross income under $5,050 Support: Gets more than half their financial support from you See the full rules for a qualifying relative
  16. We honestly care for your heart break but be ever so much more careful in future My prayers go out to u Doesn't disqualify but another petition would go thru heavy scrutiny as 3 is a lot art is not heavy but be so very careful as there are many women (and men) trolling online for marriage to USC's and that green card and there are USC's taking advantage of some foreigners and many post on here "my USC spouse is abusive, what do I do?" So, honestly, USCIS and embassys try to protect both sides, hence there are denials. Your new wife may try to say u r abusive so watch your back And USCIS says this: Sham marriages, which are marriages entered into for immigration purposes, can have severe legal and immigration consequences.
  17. one woman was returned home at POE and they said "too married for K1 visa" how did the CBP know or Judge? she took engagement ring off thinking it would look like married and tan lines were everywhere but under the ring on left hand she tried to say engagement ring and they said "no reason to take that off" and returned her home on next flight out
  18. going to add 1 thing When she finds out there is possibility she can not adjust if u withdraw the support, she will talk to others and realize that she will not be able to sponsor the "other man" so don't fall for the "I love you BS" to get u to continue the AOS after getting 2 year green card she could then divorce and remove conditions for a 10 year green card (later- the ROC process) with a divorce waiver. Seen that happen also Please know there are people who do care and i hope u have good emotional support (real friends and family)
  19. your wife will need the original documents for the interview so hopefully your attorney knows this or u sent him copies / many do not know embassy want originals and with her country in so much strife, i would get them to her ASAP even if your wait for interview is long
  20. AS pointed out cancel the AOS and let her go OR you are stuck 10 years for the I 864 I am very very sorry but quit being used When someone is so uncaring about you and your feelings , open the door and tell her not to let the door hit her in the butt on the way out you can't hold on to someone who doesn't want to be held, so to speak your heart will take time to heal so all you can do at to protect assets
  21. what embassy? they don't all follow same scheduling rules /some let u in with NCV # /some make u wait till they have the packet many only post a few months and you may have to search several times for open date(s)
  22. actually means immigration/ embassys are slow to update the site it may say refused soon also as that is what is normally posted after interview while you wait it does take about a week to print out the visa page to atttach to your passport and then delivery depends on embassy it is important to have a timeline on your portal so please create one many queries depend on embassy / country
