US Immigration from Taiwan

A Chinese woman here in the USA has overstayed her B1 visa by several months. She is convinced she can marry an American and start the R-1 process but I think her application would be denied and she would have to return to China where it is likely she would be denied entry because of the overstay. Is this correct?

Now this might be an outreach here, but it could definitely be possible. My wife filed for an interview back in 2020 for a B1/B2 (DS-160) for us to meet together. Once we saw the difficulty behind it, we decided to just cancel the interview and meet in a third country. Anyways, moving on to now, we are getting close to the NVC stage, and will have to file a a DS-260. There s only one problem. When we did the DS-160, we answered the questions of her employment and address history the best we could since it s not something she clearly remembers. And now, we don t remember what dates and such she put on the DS-160. Soooo, we will most likely have some conflicting data for the DS-260. I m curious of your guys opinions if they would keep track and compare info such as employment history and address history from previous applications. And if they did, would they issue an RFE based on it. Maybe a stretch, but a little thought that came to my mind recently.

Title says it all. My CPA filed me as single even though I m married. My understanding is that even if your spouse isn t an LPR or citizen you need to file as married filing separately. Now I can get the amended tax return, but IRS is currently taking 4 months to process them and my time to file for NVC will like come sooner. And if I do amend it, I assume I can t use the old one to file for NVC sooner . Anyways, is it worth it to Amend? Would the NVC dislike/and or care that I filed as single even though I m literally going through this process married?

Also, the most important part is with the consulate when they review the I-864 documents and financial documents and see that I m separating myself on paper from her in my taxes? In my mind I could easily see this becoming a reason for them to think the relationship isn t bona fide, although I will probably have a joint sponsor of some sort.

Hello,

So long story short, I m only 20 and have made very little income up until this last year (2022), and even that income is hard to prove since it was from day trading crypto. I m having trouble finding a joint sponsor who will commit for me. Anyways, I do have a significant amount of cash and properties in trust for me from my family. If I were to have them transfer ownership of such assets (CDs, bank accounts, properties, and so on) to me, how much value would I need? I know atleast one house I would get is worth around $150k, and in addition I could get cash. How much would I need? I saw somewhere it says 5 times the amount of missing income. Would that mean 5x~$25k since I would report no income?

Also, would they even be likely to accept it, especially if it was just transferred to my name?

Thanks.

Hello, my goodness what a stressful week it s been. Now that I m going back and looking at the documents my lawyer submitted, I m realizing there some huge possible errors. Well, here s another one:

on the I-130 he listed her as unemployed. On the I-130a he listed her as employed with her current employer. Both documents were signed at the same time. Will we get RFE for this? Is there a way to correct it before we get RFE?

I also noticed for the address in the I-130 and I-130a, I had tried getting him to put all the address we re together when we visited each other, even hotels. However he missed all but one, so there s only one address showing that we were together for less than a month. (We have some other evidence showing we were together at the other places together)

I can t believe I trusted a lawyer would cross check things. Honestly, I feel like I do a better job at cross checking things and should have never left it in the hands of someone else. Anyways, will these two things, specifically the first one cause an RFE?
