They've cracked down on things recently. You're going to need a better plan, and probably should return home and to work before attempting to proceed further. Both your own and your parents' finances are marginal. That won't cut it under the current policies. A bona fide job offer with a specific start date, might work but I wouldn't count on it. -

The notice is pretty clear about what they want. Your finances meet the minimums, but that is no guarantee. Apparently, you've been living in the Philippines with your wife for some time. You left that out of your case description, but both that, and your parents being retired, are highly relevant both to the pubic charge question, and for a Consular Officer to understand your plan to relocate and be able to support your wife, including paying for insurance or medical bills. So, what IS your plan? If you don't have one, consider going home and going to work. Tell them that, and once you are back and working, submit a new affidavit of support.

I-864 income for 3 years.
pushbrk replied to Hank63452's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Line 9, total income unless you file the 1040EZ. This is stated clearly in the form instruction, but often misinterpreted. Tax Return Transcripts also show "Total Income" showing same number as line 9 of the 1040. -
I waited a couple days before answering, because I've been participating here for 20 years, and never even heard of such a thing. Yes, I learned what is is before responding. I doubt you will get an answer here, because no such thing is ever required in an immigrant visa context. Do you have one? Does it have a raised seal?

Ok, but you have your answer now. If you provide more details and complete your timeline, you'll get better help with other questions. My further advice is to get your information here or from state.gov, not from other groups or websites. Most Filipino groups are dominated by failed, bitter, useless applicants who failed to get their visas. They are not helpful.

CEAC - I864 Financials for IR1 Spouse Visa Question

With that kind of timeline, the petitioner would not just take updated financial documents to the interview. They would upload an updated affidavit of support and updated tax return and pay stub before the interview. If possible, best to get the 2025 return filed right away. The year you sponsor an immigrant is not a good year for delay or filing an extension.
-
I see you are not getting answers. Maybe that's because "exemplified" copies of marriage certificates or divorce decrees are not required in the spouse visa process. What is required is a "Certified Copy" issued by the agency that controls the original. What is the reason for your question?

Birth Certificate Requested for Interview?
pushbrk replied to mglev's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Yes, as has already been mentioned, the Petitioner's Birth Certificate is not typically looked at during a spouse visa interview. The list it's on in a general laundry list for immigrant visa applicants. Much more relevant if filing for parent, etc. A recent example I've seen is a Naturalized US Citizen filing for their mother in an African country. Petitioner's birth certificate is not about US Citizenship. It's about actually being the daughter of the visa applicant. Even though USCIS required it for that purpose, it tends to be more relevant all the way through. -

Family tree for USCIS – guidance needed

If by "plane tickets" you mean actual boarding passes, that's good. To go with that, you would have passport entry and perhaps exit stamps from his country. Those are primary evidence of travel. Photos are important but secondary evidence. Don't you have evidence of how and how frequently you are communicating?

Submission was correct, but notice has errors. Call the number.

Not bona fide means they don't believe it is a genuine relationship. What evidence did you send to support that? How much time have you spent together in person, and what evidence for that? Forget about the family tree. That's not the issue unless you are brother and sister.
-
This is a visa application case. The visa was officially applied for on the date of the interview. It's been six days. My advice is to the OP is be patient.
-
Nobody has yet applied for anything. The process starts with the US Citizen filing a petition on behalf of their foreign fiancée. After the petition is approved (about a year from now) the foreign fiancée will apply for a visa, where they are living at that time. I don't expect an issue with an Australian Citizen, no matter where they currently live, perhaps unless born in a banned country also. Please clarify.
-
Speculation is not helpful. A "family tree" is not required. A petitioner is required to state whether they are related to the beneficiary and the nature of the relationship. Information about the parents of both are required. Unless you are siblings, parent or child relation to your spouse, there is no "proof" required. Better to ask the OP (person asking the question) why they think this is an issue.
-
And neither have I. No, you do not have to prove the relationships. Please provide some context. What was the exact wording of what you are referring to as a "rejection"? A rejected case is rejected for lack of required information. "Family Tree" beyond parent information is not required.
