Dcf -exceptional circumstances

[Rorybeck83 0]

Hi ,I am a U.S citizen and have been living and working in the U.K. .I Met my wife here and we have 3 children together we have been married for nearly 2 years now and I am wanting to return to the U.S and bring them with me .

My question is as far as the dcf is concerned ..would I qualify with a simple job offering back in the U.S ,or would I need a co sponsor ,when would I have to prove earnings ,can I do this without assets ect.

We have been planning on filling the i-130 all along but recently through research I have been aware of the exceptional circumstances ..and sounds like that could dramatically reduce the time we spend separated if i filled here with the London embassy .any information on this would be greatly appreciated .

If you are in the UK with valid residency you do not need to use "Exceptional Circumstances"

 

You may still need a joint sponsor since you do not has US based income unless you have sufficient savings.

So we could just apply for the dcf ? 
is a co sponsor or assets the only option ?

A job offer is are only real way at the moment without me going out and working to prove earnings .is there any other way ?

Start the DCF.

Move back and start working.

Interview time, you will have paystubs to present and show your current income.

Yes, File the I-130 at the London USCIS office.

No, you can also get a job in the US and move back.

You need neither to file the I-130. When it comes time to do the I-864 you need assets, current earning (projectred for the year) or a joint sponsor.  (a co sponsor is a different thing in immigration and does not apply for a spousal visa.

If she has ESTA or a tourist VISA she can visit during the process.  She can not move until getting the spousal VISA.  Last year it took us 103 day in Mexico from filing to getting the VISA.

 

Are you current on you US tax return filings?

 

Do your kids have US passports or are you doing CRBA?

No I’m not current on the US tax filings 

 

one child will be crba the other 2 are my stepchildren so will be applying for I-130 along with my wife .

 

 

So i file the i-130 for my wife and two step children through the London embassy 

then I move back .so while we wait for the i-130s to be approved I would have been working and getting pay stubs to prove my income with my affidavit of support ?

Are you  sure you can't find a joint sponsor?

 

Here is how I would do this:

 

1) Take care of the CRBA

2) File the last 3 years of tax returns (You are asked about it on the I-130s)

3) File the I-130/I-130a for your wife and the two I-130s for the step kids

4) I would wait to go back to the US until USCIS approves the petitions.   Once they are approved you can leave knowing the petitions are headed to the consulate.

Good thing that you are doing it now. The USCIS London office will close down next year: https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-will-adjust-international-footprint-seven-locations Since it's open, you can submit the 3 I-130 petitions.
