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.

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?

I'm just going to say again, get the actual facts of her visa application, not a convenient interpretation of her explanation.

Please be specific. "Mentioned during the application" is not specific enough. Either a marital status was declared on the actual application of it was discussed DURING the interview. Was "Union Libre" entered into the application form, or was it an available status to be selected (doubtful). The only "during" is the interview. If she represented herself as "married" to show ties to her home country, when she was not married, that can be a material misrepresentation resulting in a lifetime ban from entering the USA. Get completely clear on this before moving forward. It's a very serious matter. Convenient interpretation of an explanation is not good enough. Get the actual facts.

In what way was the relationship mentioned? Was it in the interview conversation, or on the visa application? If on the application, what exactly did she state as her marital status on the application?

Please clarify how exactly and why this relationship was mentioned in her visa application. Did she claim to be married to this man? If so, did she indicate the relationship was common law? My concern is that this can be considered a misrepresentation in her prior visa application. Details matter in this context.

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.

You had two weeks together in person and then communicated for a few months prior to marrying. When you married, you had more time together. That's pretty normal for an international relationship. Nobody cares if it seems rushed in this context. Don't open the can of worms of carrying on a long distance relationship while she was in a committed relationship. No reason to mention the other guy at all. They weren't married, and your real relationship started after than one ended. You have plenty of evidence, to get the I-130 approved, and you'll have more between now and the visa interview.

1. No 2. She's right. Scrap all evidence before your in person time in 2025 3. Only if previous relationship is asked about would it need to be explained, in very simple direct terms.

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.

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?

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.

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.

No.

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

This is a non-issue. Just enroll her.

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.

I suspect the person already has most of these vaccinations in their history.

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.

I would try it and see. No harm in that.

If it will let you proceed leaving that blank, then do it. I expect it is not applicable to this visa category.

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.

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.

And that is the correct question. If the children have CRBAs, then the answer is yes. Just apply for US Passports after entry.

Scrap the affidavits. They make you look desperate. You are not expected to commingle finances when you don't yet live in the same country. Concentrate on actual evidence of time spent together in person like passport stamps and/or boarding passes, and photos together. Evidence of communication is good but secondary to what I already mentioned. The list of possible kinds of evidence is exactly that. It's not a list of what is expected. You only have what you have. Don't forget the certified copy of the marriage certificate, and translation if not in English. A letter of intent is required for fiancee visas. It's not applicable to spouse visas. You're already married.
