  1. No, don't send 1,200+ pages. And text alone is not evidence. A few (no more than a dozen) screen shots of portions of chats could help, but not unless they are in English. It seems you sent next to nothing originally, and didn't do a good job on the form section that asks about your meeting. Explain it in a one page statement, then provide the primary evidence of time spent together in person.
  2. I suppose the translator is "under the penalty of perjury" but the translator does not need to include that phrase in their certification.
  3. As you already stated in your first post, "If you submit a document in any language other than English, the document must be accompanied by a full and complete English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is accurate and he or she is competent to translate from that language to English". There's nothing in there about the translator being certified by anybody or any organization. Yes, anybody fluent in both languages, also competent and willing, can certify a translation, even if they are the author of what is being translated.
  4. Not a certified translator. In this context there is no such thing. The translator certifies they are fluent in both languages and that the translation is correct and complete. Yes, the certified translation is required because the communication was specifically requested.
  5. Yes, if the specific first communication was requested and was in Spanish, you'll need to include a translation and for the translator to certify it. Use an image of the conversation, not just a transcription or copy and paste. Copying and pasting text is not evidence.
  6. You say your translations are from a "certified translator". They are probably fine, but it is the translator that certifies the translations. USCIS does not certify translators. I would skip the communication records in Spanish and concentrate on evidence of time spent together in person, like passport stamps or boarding passes, and hotel receipts etc.
  7. Having paid for a ticket is not primary evidence of travel. I pay for a one-way ticket to somewhere outside the Philippines every time I enter, but I cancel that ticket within 24 hours and never use it for travel. If you don't have passport stamps, use boarding passes which ARE evidence of travel. If she's been in the USA, download her I-94 and travel history here. https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/home
  8. Select Federal Income Tax return, and I would upload a single PDF with all included.
  9. For a self employed person, income comes from a federal tax return. If you are currently employed, that's very different. You are either employed or you are not. It's not a matter of appearance. If you are employed, then a single normal pay stub that shows gross pay and year to date pay, is sufficient evidence of current "income". Take the gross for a full pay period times the number of those pay periods that would occur in a full year. Every two weeks is times 26, etc. Be very direct on your I-134 that you are employed and your occupation. Don't confuse any of these issues by using the term self employed. Your father's past income or business tax returns are not relevant to your current income.
  10. You will not qualify as the sponsor. If your fiance is coming from Thailand or the Philippines, you will not be allowed to use a cosponsor either. You cannot state any income at all, at this point. The current income for a self employed person, comes from their latest tax return. You don't have one. Further, do not confuse business revenue with income. Income is what's left over after subtracting business expenses. Showing current business revenue will not help. Which country? Do you have a cosponsor in mind?
  11. Correct. The DS260 is not part of the green card process after entering with a K1 visa. This letter does not request a DS 260. It requests a confirmation page. Send the one you have for the DS 160.
  12. A complete Federal Tax return with all schedules, W2s and 1099s is perfectly acceptable. Note that for an employed person the "Total Income" number from the tax return goes in the tax return section. Current income does not come from a tax return though. That comes from a pay stub. Gross pay for a full pay period times the number of those periods in a full year. Every two weeks is times 26. Twice a month is times 24, etc.
  13. Directly to your concerns, USCIS is not the problem. Where he will or won't be allowed to interview is what is critical. There's always a chance he'll be deported from Sweden to Turkey. If you are already married, what will YOU do?
  14. Nobody can tell you for sure whether he will be allowed to interview in Sweden. That is not a USCIS decision. Approved I-130 decisions are sent to the National Visa Center, but it's up to the Immigrant Visa unit in Sweden whether they will allow him to interview there. No, his status in Sweden does not impact either the petition approval or the visa beyond whether he will be allowed to interview in Sweden. With all that in mind, the decision to marry is a weighty one indeed.
  15. Whether the K1 will be "viable" is not really the prime issue. A K1 from Pakistan, while "viable" is not something I would recommend. Spend some time together and take the spouse visa route. Yeah, the title says Pakistani fiance but asks about Morroco.
  16. It's the UK. The record probably matches what pretty much every resident there will have received. The physician at the medical exam will know that. Relax
  17. This is a non-issue. Just enroll her.
  18. So, wait for them (NVC) to respond notifying you of the transfer to KL. Mumbai is where the only Immigrant Visa Unit for the USA is in India. Yes, we used to refer to that city as Bombay. A number of cities now have correct names on maps. You can blame the brits for the earlier mistakes. For example they couldn't pronounce Guangzhou, so they called in Canton. Go figure.
  19. I suspect the person already has most of these vaccinations in their history.
  20. For others reading this, it's an example of why we encourage members to study the next steps in the process in advance. The need for this certificate was knowable even before filing the I-130 petition. It's accepted for up to two years after it's issue date. If you find yourself in the same situation, go ahead and get police certificates ahead of time.
  21. If it will let you proceed leaving that blank, then do it. I expect it is not applicable to this visa category.
  22. Captions are a good idea, but definitely optional. Photos together are secondary evidence though. The primary evidence of time spent together would be passport stamps, boarding passes, and hotel receipts.
  23. Yes, a certified translation should be uploaded with the certificate. Frankfurt processes visas for the Dutch people but if not in German or English, a translation is required.
