  1. No, it would not add weight to your evidence if both your names are on the birth certificate. Focus on evidence of time spent together in person.
  2. Unless there is a plausible reason for USCIS to think you and your spouse are close blood relatives, this is a total non-issue.
  3. Natural born US Citizens never have an A number, so it is for the Beneficiary.
  4. "Consummation" is the word. Yes, if you travel to another country, you'll have evidence of travel and arrival. The only evidence of "consummation" needed is evidence you were in the same "country" as each other either during the proxy marriage, or between the marriage date and petition filing date. That's been the rule for at least the 20 years I've been involved here, and actually much longer than that. "Proxy marriage" has been around a long time. The word "consummation" is used and it's traditional meaning (sexual consummation) is not the applicable meaning. Evidence the marriage RELATIONSHIP is bona fide is a separate issue.
  5. Incorrect. Proxy marriage is accepted when evidence of consummation between marriage date and I-130 filing is properly submitted. Hundreds if not thousands, have been successful this way for a very long time.
  6. You are still mixed up. The A number was not given to the couple. It is given to the foreigner/beneficiary.
  7. As you read instructions, be certain to pay attention to every word, especially little words like "or". Then read further about the evidence of consummation that is required when one party is not physically present for the ceremony. Yes, your wife can submit marriage paperwork in some countries without any ceremony or with a proxy ceremony, but this marriage will not be recognized by USCIS for the I-130 filing unless it is submitted with evidence of being together either during the ceremony or between the marriage date and I-130 filing date. Evidence of being in the same country, like passport stamps or boarding passes as "primary evidence". Photos together are secondary.
  8. It means you have an immigration file.
  9. That explains it. If it's the 2025 edition (check the date) then complete the top left section and include the page with a signature anywhere. The problem is that you left out the page altogether....AND...you did not complete the page as required. Double-check that you've provided the full five years, or residence and work history for petitioner and beneficiary. If you haven't or anything is missing on other pages, complete it now.
  10. Correct. Adobe reader is free, and the forms are all built to work with it.
  11. Yes, and when using an Adobe product to complete the form, that auto populates. It's part of the form anyway. All pages must be submitted.
  12. What is the "Edition Date" on the form you filed? The 2022 edition has a different page 12 for a preparer to sign. If you filed too late to use that edition, that's a separate issue. I'm sure the other poster with the same notation filed the older (2022) version. In both versions the top of the last page autofils when you use an adobe product to complete it. If the information in the top left corner is missing, that's what you complete. Page 12 was usually not applicable when using the 2022 version, but IS applicable when using the January 2025 version of the form. Details matter. Noting your response in the other thread, I did not say denied. I said "rejected". It's not the same thing. In a rejected filing, the whole package is returned. That is not the case for you. I now doubt it was for the June poster either. My response assumed the June poster used the 2022 version of the form where page 12 is not the last page.
  13. If you want advice on your own case, it's best to open your own topic and include the exact wording from your RFE. Unless your wording is exactly the same, the responses here will not be helpful. I didn't read the topic back then, but before advising I would have asked more questions. It seems this petition was rejected altogether, not just a request for evidence. Either way, signing page 12 was not the issue. That page is only signed by a "preparer" not the petitioner. If something else, or a signature was missing, it was not about page 12.
  14. All true but Islamabad is not Manila. For Pakistan, one is wise to far exceed minimum requirements for getting a petition approved. The goal is to be together in the USA. Consular Officers don't care how difficult or expensive it is.
  15. Submit the I-864, not the EZ version in this case. I should add that even though it is not technically incorrect to use the I-864EZ in your case, it's no extra work, and saves any confusion on the part of NVC. Just leave the asset section blank. It's optional anyway.
