    Yes, if you married in the Philippines, you'll need the PSA Marriage Certificate for the filing. If you use the local civil registry certificate instead, you'll get an RFE. Deal with passport name change later. The I-130 asks for her current passport information, but it's ok if it changes during the process. You just provide it again at the NVC and visa application stage.

    I'll add that since you both work remotely, if you can do that from the Philippines, you might find that a very good option. Philippines now has digital nomad visa option. I have friends in the Philippines who are married and both work remotely, but often that is working nights Philippine time.

    The only thing you are "pushing" is that your financial qualifications are marginal. Time to study the differences between the two visa processes from start to green card, and make the right decision for your situation.

    Yeah, forget about joint bank accounts until you are together in the USA. You need to have at least applied for an ACR card in the Philippines to open a bank account. Some banks have more strict requirements.

    File with the name she intends to use going forward. She can complete the name change and get the new passport during the process. That it doesn't match yet at filing doesn't matter. There is no wait for a work permit with an immigrant spouse visa. She is authorized to work upon arrival. So, that is not an issue. The most important evidence of relationship will be passport stamps and/or boarding passes showing time spent together in the same country, and some photos from your visits. No need to complete any laundry list of evidence categories. Newlyweds living in separate countries are not expected to have joint bank accounts anywhere.

    Don't pit websites against each other. Use this sight and pay attention to the senior members' advice. You do not mention the country your future spouse is coming from, but to my knowledge only Philippines and Thailand US Immigrant visa units do not allow co-sponsors for a K1 visa. All accept for an immigrant spouse visa (CR1 or IR1). Download the I-864p and see the minimum required income from that official source. If it's just the two of you, it's $27,050. Just meeting the minimum assures nothing, but not meeting it certainly does. Your two jobs complicate things. You are considered both employed and unemployed. For an I-864, you will complete the tax section by entering the "total income" number from the tax returns, and then also state your current income from both jobs. If you are not taking any business deductions from the 1099 job, then your current income will be the total of both. Otherwise it will be the income from the W2 job, plus only the taxable income from the 1099 source. You posted your question in the spouse visa process forum here. You'll need to make a choice whether to bring a fiancee or to bring a spouse. You cannot bring a spouse unless you are married. Is that your plan?

    I like Crazy Cat's answer and advise you to stop thinking in terms of what you will use, and instead think in terms of answering the questions on the form itself. Unless it is your intention to quite the second job, then it is part of your current income. It might work to ignore it, but if it's part of your ongoing life, why play games. A current pay stub from either or both jobs is fine, without an employment letter, but the stub is actually better evidence than the letter. Further, it serves no purpose to provide things not required, like more than the one tax return transcript. The form asks for information from three forms, but only one return. Six months of pay stubs is an artifact from more than twenty years ago. One current one from each job, that shows current gross, the frequency of paydays, and year to date income, is plenty.

    You have good answers already based on available facts. However, the chances of getting a K1 visa approved for a Pakistani fiance are not good. You may want to consider getting married and taking the spouse visa route. Study and read about the applicable issues in the regional forum.
  23. pushbrk
    USCIS does not evaluate the I-134 in a k1 visa process. The Consular Officer does that. Your W2 is not relevant to your stated current income. For an employed person, current income is calculated by taking the gross income for a full pay period times the number of pay periods in a full year (going forward). You then document the income with that same pay stub. Later, when you adjust status and provide an I-864, current income is calculated and documented the same way. At that time, yes, USCIS can and will do the same calculation and recognize the correct current income.

    Good to do but not really criticall at this stage. Use the new address when filing to adjust status after marriage.

    This is the most prudent way to go. It assures your obligations are ended you are clear to petition another in the future. Nobody knows their future.

    The foreign physical address issue is not a problem for the I-130. After it is approved, your wife will apply for a visa and you will provide an affidavit of support. It is at that time you need to show your US Income and US intended address. That you own a home in the USA and intend to live in it once your wife is able to join you, will satisfy the domicile requirement. You were right not to hire that person or follow their advice to lie. That they thought your address now is a problem, and their suggestion you lie, is clear evidence they are not qualified to be of proper assistance to you.

    Never US Chat GPT for this kind of thing. Read the official information from the official site, then interpret it literally and follow the instructions exactly. Complaining isn't going to help.
