  1. It seems you understand the financial risks involved, but do be aware the actual legal marriage must occur within 90 days of entry. That means that if the obtains the visa in June or July, she must not enter the USA sooner than mid August. 90 days is a hard and fast rule for a K1 visa holder.
  2. No need to concern yourself with the expiration of the approval. It will be automatically extended in four month increments until you fail to attend the interview or denied at interview.
  3. You do not upload documents in a K1 visa case. That's for Immigrant visas. Follow the instructions from the Consulate.
  4. Assuming your VA disability income is clearly sufficient, you simply state it and provide the latest award letter. No reason to expect a problem.
  5. Again, the W2, is not relevant to the Affidavit of Support. Total income from a tax return, and pay stub for current income. Tax returns are about the past, not the present.
  6. The W2 itself is not relevant to the affidavit of support, even if some of the numbers may be the same. I'm using the I-864 criteria, which is what the Consular Officer will consider. When asked about any number from a past tax return, it is the Total Income number unless you filed using the 1040EZ. In that case it is AGI. It is often true the Total Income and AGI are the same number but use the Total income number.
  7. Those are good ideas, but this is attorney time, in my opinion. I don't have a specific recommendation but others might.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. And I question whether the politician's office gave the correct answer.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. And that's the real answer. Misinterpretations and failed attempts at reading breed misleading advice.
  15. Incorrect. It's country of Citizenship or country of legal residency. Best to read carefully before misinterpreting.
