    The correct answer is to enter your mother's maiden name.
  5. pushbrk
    No. Just type their name in the native alphabet in that section of the form and indicate there is no foreign address in the same section.

    You now seem to understand where the official information you need is found. Follow those instructions. You cannot upload a piece of paper. You'll be uploading a digital file. It doesn't matter at the filing stage whether it is the original digital file or one you create by printing and scanning. You might want to add a sheet to the file pointing out you are using the annotated marriage certificate instead of the divorce decree. If filing by mail, on paper, you send a printed copy.

    I'm not any kind of lawyer, but I've been dealing with these processes here on VJ and elsewhere for just over 20 years. Further to the OP. Key to this process, is the ability to read carefully, interpret literally, and to then answer and respond accurately. Your confusion is from not interpreting literally. There are no questions or answers involving where marriages or divorces may later have been "registered". The questions and documentation are for where the things occurred. While there are substitute documents that can be used in some isolated situations, none of them come from a country where the event being documented did not occur.

    Regardless of your potential overuse of pronouns I'll just cut through them and say this. The reciprocity by country information available refers the type of documents. It doesn't matter whether the document is needed for a petitioner or a visa applicant/beneficiary. What matters is what is being documented. In this case, it is a marriage and a divorce that both neither of which took place in Poland. So, no document from Poland is relevant to documenting THIS marriage or divorce. When filing an I-130 for spouse, all marriages and divorces or death of spouse are disclosed and documented for both Petitioner and Beneficiary as supporting documents to the filing. I haven't noticed anything from an immigration lawyer, but the correct advice has been given.

    Cheap or fast, don't figure into the process. What she has now is also not the point. It will be what it will be. The marriage and divorce happened in Brazil. Get the documents and translations relative to Brazil. Neither event happened in Poland. PERIOD. The I-130 and I-130a forms ask where marriages and divorces took place. You answer with the truth, and document with the applicable certificates. There is nothing nuanced about those two issues.

    I would welcome any additional opinions or explanations too, but mine is that the wording was not properly vetted, and the literal translation is not what is being enforced. The baseline really is records for age actions of persons after turning 16 plus.

    Just a note that USCIS fees cannot be paid by check anymore. Has to be submitted with signed G1450 form for a debit or credit card.
  21. pushbrk
    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.
  23. pushbrk
    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.
  26. pushbrk
    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.
  27. pushbrk
    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".
  28. pushbrk
    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.
