    As others have said here, the important question is, where did the marriage *occur*, and where did the divorce *occur*? The fact that Poland recognizes the marriage and divorce is irrelevant. You'll need the documents from Brazil. There is country specific guidance here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

    From https://www.uscis.gov/n-400, under "Special Instructions", it says that after filing the N-400 you will receive a receipt notice that "extends" the validity of your green card for two years. This receipt should be sufficient for most purposes, if you need proof of status.

    Where did you see this requirement? I don't believe it was necessary and perhaps confused them. But as others have mentioned here, it is possible that they simply want to see the sponsor's spouse sign the I-864A. Edit: it is not clear to me if the person filling out the I-864A has to provide a copy of their identification, but in any case it doesn't have to be their passport. According to the I-864 instructions, a person filling out the I-864 can provide: I don't believe the household member (the person filling out the I-864A) has to be a US person.

    If it is the only issue, the consulate can resolve a financial 212g with an updated affidavit of support very quickly, so no need to panic. I wonder if there was a language issue between your spouse and the consular officer. Not sure what you mean by "the letter saying no need for husband to be a joint sponsor". All that was necessary was the I-864 from you and your joint sponsor. In any case the path of least resistance may be to add the I-864A to add the income of the joint sponsor's husband, if that is possible.

    Do you live with your father? He can only file the I-864A if he lives in the same location as you do. Otherwise he needs to fill out the I-864 as a joint sponsor and qualify with enough income for himself and all dependents. In previous times, if you submitted the I-864 without a joint sponsor and it was determined that the income is not sufficient, it would be returned to you with a recommendation to add a joint sponsor (or household member). Nowadays however, I would perhaps lean on the side of caution and try to find a joint sponsor as soon as possible and perhaps initially add the joint sponsor, given how intensely Trump has been targeting people who receive (or are likely to receive) federal benefits.

    The correct document you want is called the "Tax Return Transcript" on the IRS website. Note that when it comes time for your interview, you should bring a copy of your Tax Return Transcript for 2025, since there is a good chance that they will ask to see it.

    It is not necessary to put your future travel dates on the N-400. At the interview they will ask if you want to make any updates to your application, and you can tell them the dates you travelled. This is very common. Also, I would seriously consider filing online. This seems to be the general recommendation as there is less of a chance of things going missing.

    What reasons did the consulate give for rejecting your wife's F2 visa?
  19. Gabriel5454
    There was a very informative post on another website that I don't know if I am allowed to link to, but the gist of this update is that anyone not able to concurrently file an I-485 with the I-130 is now going to be targeted for deportation. For example, someone who is currently in the US and must seek an I-601A waiver would first have to file the I-130 but would not be eligible to file a concurrent I-485 and would therefore be deportable. What is new is that previously ICE would not target such people even though they were technically deportable. There are other special cases where the I-485 cannot be filed concurrently but I think the guides here have always suggested to file concurrently.

    If your start date cannot be any earlier than January, it may make sense to simply file the I-130 now. There is no guarantee that DCF will be accepted by the consulate so that would be the risk of waiting until October.

    You will probably not get a straight answer from the Turkish authorities. However if you are in the US you should be able to receive a visa from the nearest Turkish consulate fairly easily.

    Are you sure you cannot be added to the lease? This should not require a social security number. Also, I am not an expert on the K-1 process, but if you missed the chance to apply for a social security number, I believe you can still apply for an ITIN. In many cases you could provide this number in lieu of a social security number.

    In the past this was true (that USCIS would forward information to SS) but this seems to be no longer the case. Now every new immigrant will have to make an appointment at an SS office to receive a card (regardless of if they already requested one with USCIS).

    Assuming this is for a spousal visa (IR-1/CR-1) you are the primary sponsor. You must fill out the form as the primary sponsor even if you yourself don't meet the income requirements. Your joint sponsor will then will out their version of the form and you will submit everything together. You are the petitioner in this case, not your spouse. Your prospective joint sponsor must be a US citizen or permanent resident.

    The document you have from Armenia, is it called like this? That should be the document you need and considered your birth certificate, I believe. I got this information from the reciprocity and civil documents schedule that was shared above. The document you have from the Russian embassy should serve as secondary evidence. Everything must be translated into English. I suggest providing everything together with the Armenian document first. There is still chance that USCIS will want to see something else so I would also prepare for that possibility if you can. When was your Armenian birth certificate registered? Was it more than one year after your date of birth?
