No, you don't need a separate "e-travel" (also known as an Electronic Travel Authorization, or ETA) on an IR-1 visa. The IR-1 visa is an immigrant visa that allows you to enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident, and it already grants you the right to enter and travel within the U.S. The "e-travel" requirement generally applies to non-immigrant visa holders and those who are part of the Visa Waiver Program.

Send what is asked for Complete tax return from IRS (mine was 11 pages and some of them did not apply to me but immigration can not guess on that -they must see it) sign the I 864 by pen -black inn is best include all W 2's and any 1099's give a number of all living in house so they can calculate needed income if u do not meet the 125% of poverty income , include all the info as stated with that person's I 864

please do a timeline and ID the country/ embassy getting the visa very much depends on the country for extra security may be needed (or additional proofs and/or joint sponsor)

You will need to do this as USCIS is no longer doing it No, USCIS no longer automatically mails Social Security cards to new citizens or those with work authorization. The Social Security Administration's Enumeration Beyond Entry (EBE) program, which facilitated this automatic issuance, has been temporarily paused. Individuals in these situations now need to apply for a Social Security card directly through the SSA, often requiring a visit to a local SSA office.

Only if the surgery can wait for a visa and she is allowed to travel and if you can show you can afford to pay as health care here is expensive and you have consulted a dr with the documents to show her issue If she needs surgery, don't make her wait Usually when dr says surgery is required , he means "lets do it now"

yes, you can appeal anything to do now? No, this is a long process after a denial You need to wait for the NOID to arrive back in the USA (about 6 months) I filed my own appeal but i knew how to do this myself so i only paid the $110 fee (fee in 2011) If you can not write in legal terms , you need an attorney but only after the NOID is in your hands The appeal took a year and even though it said "marriage is bona fide " visa was not approved / it said i could reapply If i had known this , i would have saved time and just reapplied I suggest after the NOID from the US office is sent to you , you either respond to the query with actual proof the CO is wrong when i say actual proof if it says she does not want to live here , print out former dated emails or dated chats with her talking about long range plans to live and study in US you need to respond to each reason for denial with actual proof that the CO was mistaken not just "she wants to live here " You need to respond to these in both appeal if you decide to do it or answering the NOID or sending new petition I suggest you make sure IRS returns are joint and you file the W7 with this years returns if you haven't already gotten her ITIN and you start show commingling of finances to strengthen your case
