If you can fill them out, go ahead, but you won't be able to schedule an interview until the Consulate informs you they are ready.

They will know about both cases being connected because their is only one underlying petition and your son is listed on the petition. You'll get instructions by email from the Consulate. Follow those.

Ds 260 important question
pushbrk replied to Pinki1234567's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
No, but even though it is technically NOT an immigrant visa, a K1 visa interview is conducted by a Consular Officer assigned to the "Immigrant Visa Unit". -
Ds 260 important question
pushbrk replied to Pinki1234567's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
I would answer yes and explain "I-129f approved but did not apply for the K1 visa". Let them decide if it is relevant or not. It will not be a negative in any way. The already know this from the answer to the I-130 question. -

Not an infant, but you are missing the point. The point is, the personal circumstances you mention, are not factors considered by USCIS, NVC, or a Consular officer. Getting your head around that, can be difficult. The further point is nothing about your feeling expressed here will change what gets considered. -

I and many others here understand very well. It's important you understand, that my or our understanding of the personal circumstances you mention, are not factors considered by USCIS, NVC, or a Consular officer. Getting your head around that, can be difficult. We know. We all had to do it already. For me, it was 20 years ago. -

You and your decisions are all that are stopping you from moving back to the US to work right now or very soon. It's understandable to every VJ member why you would rather wait until your wife can come with you, but the reality is that is your decision, not a decision by the US Government. You actually DO understand why your income in Sweden doesn't count. It's the reason you gave in the same sentence, in that the income will not continue from that source once you're in the USA. The vast majority of members here endure a separation from their spouse during the process. It goes with the territory. If you can avoid that, then it's a wonderful exception. If you have well over 3 times the income requirement in liquid assets, you don't need a job or a joint sponsor. Now is the time to become an A-Student of the I-864 and it's excellent instructions. It's the most complicated form in the process. -

It's your own judgment you use to determine which things are applicable to you though. When the time comes, ask your questions here. The common problem with AI in these matters is that context is King. Your specific circumstances are known to you, and not always considered in AI answers. -
Milestone for pushbrk
pushbrk replied to TBoneTX's topic in Site-Related Discussion - Updates, Ideas, etc.
Much appreciated. My business is no secret here. Even though I've been in semi-retirement for 8 plus years, a big reason I still participate, is to stay up to date as things change and new information becomes available. The other senior members who are much more active are also great sources for me. -
Status is on Hold, After the Interview.
pushbrk replied to Lance-Skywalker's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Your best bet is to deal with HR. Maybe get an executive involved, if you know one. It was many years ago, and not required by immigration at that time, but my HR used her entry to the USA as the activating event for dependent coverage. Even for that, you need a letter stating that clear policy, from either the insurance company or your HR. -
Premium Delivery Option
pushbrk replied to mglev's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
It will have no impact on the date the Consulate sends the package. No idea whether it might save a day. -
Beneficiary Address Change
pushbrk replied to AdmiralTacos's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
It will be email to you both. Just use the new address going forward. -
No. No physical receipt of what is referred to as packet 3. The only thing sent on paper is the return of the passport with visa after the interview. See the title of this thread. The foreign fiancee's personal information is not found on USCIS.gov because USCIS only deals with the Petitioner. The Foreigner will only have a way to contact USCIS directly, after they file to adjust status after marriage in the USA. Online and email with the Consulate only until then. Consulate/Embassy now uses 2Go express for this. https://ph.usembassy.gov/2go-express-is-the-new-courier-for-visa-applications/

NVC birth certificate rejection
pushbrk replied to Leonardo Cabrera's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You were not born in Peru, so no birth certificate from Peru would be accepted. Get the applicable birth certificate from the country in which you were actually born. If it is not in Spanish or English, provide a certified translation. In short, what you provided from Peru was not accepted because Peru is not where you were born. -
Sounds like the joint sponsor is now self employed. The current income you will state for him is the in 2023,number labeled "Total Income" from his latest tax return, 2024, unless his change to self employment happened during 2025. If he became self employed, then he has no income related to his work. He only has business revenue. Details matter in this. Perhaps he has other income or sufficient liquid assets to qualify, but there is not enough information about his exact circumstances to properly advise as to how to complete the affidavit and/or what additional documentation to apply. When and how did this status change? Was he always self employed when he owned the business. Often the answer to that question would be no, but from what you say, he is self employed as a contract worker now.

Probably not for a k1 but we are now discussing why marrying and pursuing the spouse visa is a better option. Better, not "sure" in either direction.

No longer exempt, but..... In his discretion, the Secretary of State or his designee, in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security, may find, on a case-by-case basis, that travel by an individual would serve the U.S. national interest. The Secretary of Homeland Security or her designee, in coordination with the Secretary of State, may also find, on a case-by-case basis, that travel by an individual would serve the U.S. national interest.
