    In a way, maybe, but she's not coming to the USA until the financial issue is dealt with. It's part of the immigration process. Also, it seems the advice to finish the degree and go to work first, is the exact advice being followed by the OP.

    When will you start work? It's time now for you to become an A-Student of those I-864 instructions. There is no such thing as collateral, and the equity in the primary residence is not going to help with the public charge issue.
  14. pushbrk
    Unless your mother's income is sufficient on her own, she would not be a qualified "joint sponsor". Do you have somebody else in mind? If you will be working full time "shortly" then that means you've changed your plan to stay in the D.R. for the duration. You working solves the whole problem, as you will qualify as sponsor on your own. Yes, the CR1 would be a better option, as you on not submit the affidavit of support until a year or so after filing the I-130 petition, and your wife will be immediately eligible to work, once she arrives.

    Follow the instructions from State.gov you will find here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Uganda.html

    Then it is time for you to become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions. That neither you or your mother have rent or mortgage payments is a positive, and you can certainly state and document the equity in the home. However, equity in a primary residence is not considered liquid. Perhaps you can qualify as the sponsor with your mother as an income combining household member. You said you've thought about things like insurance for your wife, but you have not stated any plan for that. You will need one. Is the plan for her to work once she arrives?

  18. pushbrk
    The issue is not whether or how much the financial situation has changed. The issue is whether the information is current. Update it.
  19. pushbrk
    It sounds to me like you are still in denial. It's up to you what you do. My advice will still be there if your latest stated plan fails. Yes, a new more complete affidavit of support from your parents showing their liquid assets, might carry the day, but it will take a new signed form, not just a message.
  20. pushbrk
    You also said "tax transcript". The applicable document is the "tax return transcript". It should show total income. Often total income and AGI are the same number. How about on your 1040? Are they the same number? Use 1040 or tax return transcript, not anything else. Words and titles mean things.
  21. pushbrk
    They've cracked down on things recently. You're going to need a better plan, and probably should return home and to work before attempting to proceed further. Both your own and your parents' finances are marginal. That won't cut it under the current policies. A bona fide job offer with a specific start date, might work but I wouldn't count on it.
  22. pushbrk
    The notice is pretty clear about what they want. Your finances meet the minimums, but that is no guarantee. Apparently, you've been living in the Philippines with your wife for some time. You left that out of your case description, but both that, and your parents being retired, are highly relevant both to the pubic charge question, and for a Consular Officer to understand your plan to relocate and be able to support your wife, including paying for insurance or medical bills. So, what IS your plan? If you don't have one, consider going home and going to work. Tell them that, and once you are back and working, submit a new affidavit of support.
  23. pushbrk
    Line 9, total income unless you file the 1040EZ. This is stated clearly in the form instruction, but often misinterpreted. Tax Return Transcripts also show "Total Income" showing same number as line 9 of the 1040.

    I waited a couple days before answering, because I've been participating here for 20 years, and never even heard of such a thing. Yes, I learned what is is before responding. I doubt you will get an answer here, because no such thing is ever required in an immigrant visa context. Do you have one? Does it have a raised seal?

  26. pushbrk
    Ok, but you have your answer now. If you provide more details and complete your timeline, you'll get better help with other questions. My further advice is to get your information here or from state.gov, not from other groups or websites. Most Filipino groups are dominated by failed, bitter, useless applicants who failed to get their visas. They are not helpful.
  27. pushbrk
    With that kind of timeline, the petitioner would not just take updated financial documents to the interview. They would upload an updated affidavit of support and updated tax return and pay stub before the interview. If possible, best to get the 2025 return filed right away. The year you sponsor an immigrant is not a good year for delay or filing an extension.
  28. pushbrk
    I see you are not getting answers. Maybe that's because "exemplified" copies of marriage certificates or divorce decrees are not required in the spouse visa process. What is required is a "Certified Copy" issued by the agency that controls the original. What is the reason for your question?
