    The fact that the rejection was sent to the attorney indicates the attorney submitted a G28 form. That means USCIS and NVC will be contacting the attorney, not you, when the petition is approved. If you want to do the rest yourself, then ask the attorney to withdraw the G28.

    A copy of his passport. Yes, the visa, when issued, is valid until six months from completing the medical. Nothing needs to be sent in, unless specifically requested. Affidavits of support and supporting documents are uploaded to CEAC.

    While your understanding might be technically correct, it is always best practice for the two spouses to both sign affidavits. Usually, it would be the highest income on the I-864 and lower income on the I-864a. The reason Consular Officers usually require both forms is that the affidavit of support is not just to show the ability to qualify financially. It is also and primarily a contractual financial obligation between the sponsor and the US Government. So the married couple has a joint obligation. If this husband won't consent, find a new qualified joint sponsor and submit ASAP.

    In practice, such a thing would never be required. It makes no sense at all. Sometimes wording changes are not properly vetted. It's always critical to use the country specific information found here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html There are even cases where reports are not available to non-citizens who are no longer living in certain countries, and other places where they are not required because they are unreliable. I can't imagine NVC or a Consular Officer will ultimately require a police report for somebody who has not been in their own country since before becoming 16 years of age. I say "ultimately" because such a thing could possibly be requested, and then with communication, the request dropped.

    I would interpret it literally, as always, but perhaps this is a recent change. I don't think it is being followed though. Comes as news to me. Actually makes no sense either.

    The police certificate instruction clearly state they are needed for countries you lived for at least six months after turning age 16. Those are the official instructions. No need to pay attention to any conflicting advice you see "online".

    No Apostille is needed because this is not for a foreign government, but it definitely is in conjunction with and immigrant visa application. Those appear to be the correct instructions to follow. Good idea to print a copy of those instructions and send it along too.

    I understand your desire to do so, and it might be a good idea if you have something less than say, double the income requirement. Bank statements, are not what the OP is having trouble with, but they are also an acceptable substitute, for those who need to show liquid assets.

    Experienced senior members here tend to go beyond the questions asked, and point out issues posters may or may not have considered. Cooperation is appreciated, as it is reciprocal. 😉

    All good and understandable. But, USCIS does not issue visas. Getting the petition approved is the easy part. Anyway, now you have actually answered the posed question. You did not begin the new relationship until after the divorce. It's such an easy question to answer, but you kept avoiding it. This kind of "avoidance" will not return a good result if it happens in a visa interview. When your wife gets to that stage, make sure she understands how important it is to understand and directly answer every question, the question that is asked, whether you like it or think it is important or not. Yes, many of us DO understand your culture. What I didn't understand was you reluctance to directly answer the question you were being asked. Carry on.

    Then it looks like the lawyer is quoting an official source. That's what you're paying for.
  23. pushbrk
    Maybe there is a language barrier here, but you still have not addressed the timing of starting the relationship with the new spouse. It's different from the divorce and marriage dates. The question does not related to legalities, but it is relevant to the totality of circumstances. You did not begin your relationship with the current spouse on your wedding date. It was before that. You are likely to be asked if the relationship started before the divorce was final, and if you give a deceptive answer like you are giving here, instead of addressing the issue directly, it is that lack of candor that will hurt you, much more than the facts themselves.

    So, when she actually has the document, you will have this sorted. While the two quotes you copied and pasted seem correct, there are many sources of false information. When you copy and paste, it's best to disclose the source.

    The asylum seeker with no passport is unfamiliar for me. Again, traveling during the process, is commonly only really practical for the US Citizen when coming from many countries anyway. She will need some sort of travel document for the visa to be issued. That would be the first thing I would want to sort out, in your circumstances.
  27. pushbrk
    You did not directly say it. You've never directly addressed (in this thread) whether your relationship (not your marriage) began before your divorce was final. Whether it did or didn't, is a technicality that is relevant. Another poster alluded to that possibility and your response avoided addressing the issue directly. That's easy for you to clear up if you want.
