Thank you. The Interview letter arrived on January 2nd. The interview is for February 7th. Case was complete (DQ) early August of 2021.

Once receiving the Interview Letter for IR1 the first steps is to create an online account at usatraveldocs. Question is, do we fill out ONLY the profile information page with contact information, or are there other parts of the site that need to be completed?

I think there's a very good chance they will ask her what I do for a living.  In which case she would need to tell them about my new employer.

If that happens, would an updated I-864 showing my new employer's name, paystubs, verification letter, and W2 be enough? 

For transparency, the Verification Letter from my employer states that I make a base salary of $30,000 plus commission with expected annual earnings of approximately $65,000. 

My Wife finally has her interview at the Consulate the beginning of February and I have a predicament I'm trying to figure out how to handle. 

We were DQ'd in August 2021, and after I filed my 2021 taxes I uploaded my tax documents, IRS transcript and an updated I-864 to the CEAC in July of 2022. 

I changed employers in October of 2022 and not sure what I should do. 

  1. Do I upload another I-864 showing my new employer and add paystubs from when I started in October along with an Employment Verification Letter? (taxes for 2022 will likely not be completed in time for the interview        but I do have the W2 which reflects my pay from October 10, 2022 to end of year from new job).  I've been told that with such a short time at my new employer they may ask for a joint sponsor at the interview. By the              time of the interview I will have been with new employer for almost 4 months.

  2. Do I just leave it as is with the documents that were uploaded in July 2022?  My worry is if they ask her where I work she would have to say my previous employer, or it may be possible they request recent pay stubs to          ensure I am still employed with my old job which I could not produce.

Hello,

My Wife and my case was documentarily qualified early August 2021. My WIfe's country of origin is Nigeria.  I have been there twice, first in March 2020 when we were married (after a year of communication), then again in April 2021.  We are waiting her scheduled interview at the Consulate.  I am unsure I will be able to visit again prior to the interview because it is not easy for me to get the time off of work and I'm wondering if this could be detrimental to our case come interview time. Based on current timelines, I would expect the interview to be somewhere around August 2022.  I have seen in the Consulate interview reviews that they often ask the last time the beneficiary saw the spouse.  Is there any standard for how often the petitioning spouse should be visiting, or how long is considered too long in the eyes of the Consular Officer?
