    Those are good ideas, but this is attorney time, in my opinion. I don't have a specific recommendation but others might.

    Well then, that's a completely different story. Holding a position and being currently employed seem to be different things. No, you cannot use W2s instead of a tax return. When will you be back to work and have pay stubs? It might be wise to wait until your facts match my advice.

    Your current income is king here. In my opinion, no need for a joint sponsor. Your AGI is not the number shown on the I-134 though. While the number is often the same, you use the "total income" not AGI. For current income, state your current income of way over 100k. Calculate it using gross pay for a full pay period, times the number of pay periods in a whole year. Add those two figures together and that is your current income. Document it with the copies of the pay stubs you used to calculate it. Once you file to adjust status, you do the same. Perhaps you will have filed a new tax return by then. "Joint sponsor" takes about two seconds for me to type, but securing one, asking them to disclose the information, then complete and sign an I-134 is a much bigger deal. Even a bigger deal for the binding I-864. Expect success based on your actual current income.

    And I question whether the politician's office gave the correct answer.

    The logistical problem is complicated by her desire to be in a different country. She can request her passport back, and they can get it back from her when they are ready to issue, but she will need it to do any border crossings in the meantime. It might be a tough choice to make, but she either requests her passport back or waits where she is.

    Note that sometimes a question is applicable and the answer is "none". For example if there's a place to list 4 children and you put NONE in the first available space, that's good enough. Move on to the next section.

    The key is that from the first post in this topic, neither the spouse or child are any kind of "resident" in Canada. As such, they must interview for the visas in Guangzhou.

    And that's the real answer. Misinterpretations and failed attempts at reading breed misleading advice.

    Incorrect. It's country of Citizenship or country of legal residency. Best to read carefully before misinterpreting.

    The philosophy that has worked for me for 20 years, is to make it as difficult as possible for the adjudicating officer to misunderstand or fail at their job, and to avoid the possibility of delay. What's in the FAM is not always what happens in practice.

    Often a March Paystub and income calculation will be different from the previous total income on the tax return. That's why I always pre-empt any possible request, by recommending including the pay stub.

    No interview has even been scheduled yet, per the OP's post.

    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.
